Where is Bobbolink? I have not seen any posts from her for some time.

[tblue37]

I know her circumstances are very difficult, but I hope that she is not sick and that nothing awful has happened to her.

Does anyone know if she is okay?

[RKP5637]

1. I've been wondering that too, glad you asked! n/t

[tblue37]

2. I am really worried about her--have been for some time--

and I know some other DUers have been worrying.

I hope she is okay.

[tblue37]

4. Self kick, because I am hoping someone knows how she is doing and

can reassure us!

[RKP5637]

14. GreenPartyVoter might know? Way back they were working on a project

together. I read some material for Bobbolink back then and I'm pretty sure it was GreenPartyVoter she was working with on this homeless paper. Bobbolink had mentioned several times she was getting harassed by some on DU, she was frustrated, she might have left DU.

3. She's from Fort Collins and I am in Denver.. but....

if anyone knows her real name and any other pertinent facts, I can try to check with shelters in the area when I go up there later in the week.
I really need some information to go on, though. All I know is that she'd been homeless for some time and was largely living out of her car. I think she might have said she frequented libraries to access the internet?

PM me if you have the information or other details you'd prefer not to publicly post. I hope she is ok.

5. Didn't she have a problem with someone here?: Maybe that is the reason.

[tblue37]

6. She did get involved in some altercations, because of her passionate advocacy for the poor and the

homeless. She sometimes became quite angry. Perhaps she decided to abandon DU and go elsewhere to post.

But because of her situation, I fear for her well-being, and she was on DU for so long, that I cannot imagine her just suddenly leaving.

[Withywindle]

8. If she wants to move on, I totally respect that

But I wish she would let us know that she's okay if that's the case. I'm worried too. We never used to go this long without posts from her.

[tblue37]

10. Yes. I hope she sees this and checks in with us. I also hope she realizes that

people care about her and worry about her.

[Capitalocracy]

11. Unfortunately it seems all we can do is wonder and hope.

This is a rare instance where a goodbye cruel board post would've been rather comforting.

[tblue37]

13. I was actually thinking how much I wish she would have done

a farewell post if she had decided to leave.

23. Weird, I don't recall that, I got along with her really well.

She was very very active in the early Libyan Revolution threads (which almost everyone else hates).

[FirstLight]

7. I'm worried too...

I wasnt sure what city she is in, so if someone has any info, please see if you can look her up...

:hug: sending her love from afar...

[RKP5637]

9. K&R!!! n/t

[closeupready]

12. K&R - come back old friend, Bobbie!

:hug:

[999998th word]

16. Hoping to hear something as well-she is missed.

[gateley]

17. Kicking --

Some were pretty mean to her, and now I feel bad because I got into it with her a few times. God, I hope she's okay!

[MagickMuffin]

18. Perhaps this might explain things

This is her last post :shrug:

[Lone_Star_Dem]

19. So, she got mad and left?

For an edit request? I doubt that.

[MagickMuffin]

20. Who knows? This was one of her last posts

But we'll never know the details of why her post had an edit request.

Again :shrug: Anyone's guess is better than mine.

[hfojvt]

29. well it does not say archived

and I cannot remember if DU is still using that editing feature. As I recall a person was stopped from posting anything until they dealt with the edit request. I just wonder if she posted that and then took a break for a couple of days if her last post would be in the archives and thus unable to be edited. Then a person could not post until they edit that last post, but cannot edit the last post because it is archived. It doesn't say archived though, but posts usually are archived after a week or so, unless they are still being kicked. I wonder if the thread that never dies is still alive? That one went for a couple of years and even a master thread-killer like me was unable to kill it.

[Broderick]

21. Maybe the poster is just taking a break

Sometimes I do. Just to get away for awhile.

[readmoreoften]

24. +1

[jannyk]

25. K&R! I was wondering the same thing - I hope she's ok

[DeSwiss]

26. K&R n/t

[Generic Other]

27. I have been worried too

Hope everything is ok.

[Amonester]

28. I have been thinking about her for a while.

I sure do hope she is okay.
I miss her kind posts.

[Le Taz Hot]

30. May 23 was the last time she PM'd me.

Unfortunately, at the time, she was VERY despondent and talking about "giving up." Not sure what she meant specifically but she was in a frantic state of mind. I think about her almost daily and keep looking for a post or something in my inbox but it's been almost 4 months.

[TorchTheWitch]

31. that sounds rather ominous

Do you know what was meant by "giving up"?

I'm wondering if that last post she made in July with the edit request she never got back to might shed some light on things. Maybe that's something an Admin could look into?

[Le Taz Hot]

32. Scared the hell out of me.

I PM'd her back immediately to ask her what she meant but never got a response. The fact that she posted in July gives me hope, at least I know she was still communing 2 months ago.

[tblue37]

34. I just saw your post, because I have been workign elsewhere all day.

That does sound scary. I wish she would check in and let us knwo she is okay.

[laylah]

33. I asked the same question a couple

of weeks ago but nobody seemed to know, at that time. I hope someone has been able to touch base with her.
