Honk if you miss David!

[HomerMcvie]

Where IS our David? I sure hope that he's okay. I sent him an email, well over a week ago, and never heard anything back.
David, I hope that you're doing well, wherever you are. Now get your ass back here!

HONK!:wavey:

[BTFLCHLD]

I miss David. But, I think he is :mad: at me. I made a joke about having him on ignore when I really didn't, and he has been lovesick every since. I am sorry David. I didn't mean it. :distress:

I don't have a car, so no car horn, but if I did...."beep beep! doot doot! beep beep! doot doot!"

Me too. I remember that Brian said he was having some health issues. Now, we don't know what to think.:confused: I just hope it's nothing too serious.


We love you, David!:angel:

[golddustwoman77]

Hey, David, I instant messaged you about the Zoo CDs I made for you, and I never heard back. You need to hear the CDs! Come back and IM me, please. The Zoo discs will make it all better. I hope you are okay, man. Let us know! :xoxo:

[Johnny Stew]

I definitely miss David. We've very rarely ever conversed outside of the Ledge, but ON the Ledge, I consider him to be a good friend.
I hope all is well with him.

[The Tower]

God, I hope that's all is well with him.:angel:
Don't get me wrong- I'm certainly hoping he's okay. Just said I didn't miss him.

Oh, so you are still here. :rolleyes:
Meh.

I figured as much.

me neither.


:wavey:
No surprise there. :wavey:

[HomerMcvie]

Hey Chili, did David ever return your call?:shrug:

[chiliD]

:distress: Nope.

[HomerMcvie]

:distress: Nope.

What is up with that? I'm REALLY starting to worry about him now.

[BTFLCHLD]

It has been over a month. I hope he finds us soon.

[sodascouts]

I gave him a hard time occasionally but I certainly hope he's OK. He still owes me an intimate afternoon chat. ;)

What is up with that? I'm REALLY starting to worry about him now.


It's very strange. This place isn't the same without him. :distress:

well....unless I'm on his ignore list too..:shocked:

DAVID come back. We hope all is well with you.

[BTFLCHLD]

he can't see you :shocked: a thousand knives just pierced my heart...are you suggesting he is ignoring me just as I am ignoring him?

:] This is more fun than hitting the boy on the playground who is chasing for a kiss!

DAVID come back. We hope all is well with you.

David, the Ledge NEEDS you.
Please come back.:angel:

well, maybe he found out you had him on "ignore" and that's the reason he hasn't come back!!!

this is all your fault!!!!!!


;)

[BTFLCHLD]

this is all your fault!!!!!! ;) maybe if I were to promise my undying devotion he would return my affection...
if he would only give me that chance...<img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a152/BTFLCHLD/first_move.gif">

[HomerMcvie]

Well, if he won't return his buddy Chili's call, I'm afraid that something else might be up. I sure hope not though.

[Neb-Maat-Re]

no..on a serious note-I agree with Homie. SOmething has to be up. Unfortunately.

Anyone know where he lives?:shocked:

I have his address.........somewhere........it would probably take me an hour to find it.
I'm mainly worried because one of the last things I recall him saying(or hearing about him) was that he was having some health issues. Then, he disappears....:(

[michelle2677]

^^ I know. I remember that too. But I thought he said everything came back fine. Colon issues?? something about his butt is all I remember. :lol: :lol:

do you at least know the city?? if you know it, and his last name-call the hospitals. Ha ha.


well, maybe we dont' have to go THAT far, but it's kinda bugging me.

[BTFLCHLD]

I BELIEVE the city is just Orange, CA. Is that like a suburb of LA?:shrug: HEY DAVID, YOU CAN'T JUST WALK OUT ON YOUR FAMILY!:angel: orange is located in orange county california...approx 30 miles from la depending upon the the location in orange and the location in la. I would be willing to call the hospitals.

[estranged4life]

last time I PM'd him we were discussing setting up more audio cassette to CDR transfers, and we talked briefly about our health problems.

I remember that too. At first I thought he was just kidding around. Obviously he wasn't. This isn't like him at all, especially not returning ChiliD's call. I have a bad feeling that something has happened.:distress:

[SteveMacD]

I don't know how much information you'll be able to get from the hospitals. The new privacy regulations make it all but impossible for hospitals to give out any information.

[TomBanks147]

Anyone know anything?

[vermicious knid]

Over at Seven Wonders forum, his name is Norval Jones, and the last time he was active there was the same day he was most recently active here: August 19th. It's almost two months now.

And given that he posted fifteen times on August 19th, I doubt the reason he disappeared is that he was tired of this place. Very fishy.

[HomerMcvie]

I called him, and left him a voicemail, yesterday. I told him how much we all missed him, and hoped that he was okay, and that he could call me if he needed anything. I also said that we all felt like we were missing a member of our family.:angel:

[BTFLCHLD]

I called him, and left him a voicemail, yesterday. good. I guess it would be a good sign his voice mail is still up and running? Cell or land line?

[HomerMcvie]

good. I guess it would be a good sign his voice mail is still up and running? Cell or land line?Landline.(I'm adding this, because "landline", with a period, is only nine characters, and the board won't allow me to post "landline." only. How annoying, huh?).

Nice of you to show your face, btw. :angel:

Well, I've known David since waaay before the Ledge, going back to Usenet. I don't remember exactly, but probably since 1997 or so.

Maybe he didn't know how much he meant, to alot of us. I just hate to think that he'd leave us, without saying goodbye. Especially since a couple of us have left him voicemails, and sent emails, concerned about his well being.
Hopefully, he may come back.

I've always thought that he and I were friends. I figured the LEAST he could do (especially after some of us were leaving him voicemails at home, worried that[and if] he was alive and well), was to check in here, and "officially sign off", and let us know that he was okay.
I guess I expected too much. It seriously hurt my feelings.

No, i would have expected that too just because everyone was so worried. A voicemail?! Yeah, he should've said something if people are going that far out of their way and care about him that much.
But, I'm not the boss of him, so...:( At least he is okay, I was really worried.

Well, it's sad to say, but I have experienced these things before. It's an internet thing. Friendships made on the internet are just different. The fact is you only get to know a certain side of people. Can legit friends be made on the internet? Sure. Can they also be wildly misinterpreted and easy to take too seriously? Very easily. As a matter of fact, a good way to put it would be an acronym.

"Oh, I was IM'ing my IF."

"Your what?"

"My IF."

"WTF is that?"

"Internet Friend."

Double meaning obviously being...IF you ever meet them in person...IF you ever talk on the phone...IF the friendship ever extends to real life, then maybe they might be an RF(real friend). An IF can look like an RF, sound like an RF, and even feel like an RF. Yet not be one at all. Yet another hazard of the internet.

:nod: All that is so true - I used to frequent a Xena board (shut up) and made some "good friends" over there - but they were all IFs...I did keep in touch with one for many years then we drifted - but some just fell off the face of the planet...

Many ledgies have gone that way as well....:distress: It's just sad and, yes, hurtful when someone you considered more than just an "IF" just up and leaves without so much as a "bye".

The fact is you only get to know a certain side of people. Can legit friends be made on the internet? Sure. Can they also be wildly misinterpreted and easy to take too seriously? Very easily. As a matter of fact, a good way to put it would be an acronym.

"Oh, I was IM'ing my IF."

"Your what?"

"My IF."

"WTF is that?"

"Internet Friend."

Double meaning obviously being...IF you ever meet them in person...IF you ever talk on the phone...IF the friendship ever extends to real life, then maybe they might be an RF(real friend). An IF can look like an RF, sound like an RF, and even feel like an RF. Yet not be one at all. Yet another hazard of the internet.Right on. :nod: I've had people disappearing off the face of the internet also without so much of a goodbye email and I considered them friends. :rolleyes: I've become very wary of internet friendships, the internet is just too much of an anonymous world to ever really get to know people. I've done the phone calls and the personal visits and even that wasn't a guarantee to a lasting friendship. Ah well.

I actually do miss David because I need some clarification regarding some bootlegs I have. :laugh:

Very well put. I was trying to think of a way to say this but you covered it.

So, now that you're back to posting, are you planning on apologizing to all those people who were concerned about you and were worried about your well-being and received a big NOPE??

Just wondering.

Boy.. does THIS have a familiar ring.. Very true to all of it.. and yes.. "been there too".. LOL

I'm glad to see David is back, this place seemed odd without his presence and knowledge.

As if anybody really feels they're owed that. The people who've known David as an on-line friend and have valued his input on the various forums over the years are just happy to know that he's still alive and posting. Just to have that inherently interesting wit, knowledge, and perspective back makes this board a significantly better place.

actually you're wrong. those are the people who are hurt the most.

why? did he owe them anything? did he fail to pay his yearly dues or something? just asking.........

I'm not saying david did anything wrong, by any means. people can do what they want. I was just saying steve was wrong about the people who were friends with him just being happy he was back when that's not the case. When someone, who you thought was your friend drops off the face of the earth for no apparent reason. Doesnt' answer your emails, or calls when the only thing you want is to make sure they are okay, no, you don't owe them anything. but it would be nice. :shrug:

awwww...I know :) I just hate it. For myself even. There are people that i consider REALLY good friends, and would be devastated if just one day they stopped talking to me and I didn't know why. I'm not the kind of person who just has people hanging around that I don't care about. I don't work like that :)

[carrie721]

agreed. i guess we all have to have different expectations when it comes to internet friends, but it really does suck when someone you've known for years and years pulls something ****ty like that. (fyi, i'm not talking about myself here, just in general)

you know. even tho you dont apparently like me, I think you are a kick in the pants and would love to get to know you. if you are grieving the loss of a friend. I feel for you. But--you are such a neat person, I know you will fill that gap in no time. (so shut up already! just kidding!)

anyway, michelle, look in the mirror. please appreciate yourself.

I don't dislike you. Just because I argue with you a lot, doesn't mean I don't like you ;) and I really appreciate those kind words. and I haven't lately, but of course in the past friends have come and gone. I guess it's subjective on how it effects you. I think sparky hit the nail on the heard earlier in the thread. IF....if if if if.. lol. but it really is sad it has to be that way.

You are correct, Sir.
I recently received a very warm appreciation from David for welcoming him back to the board. No questions asked.He serves as a very valuable member
of the community.Guilt trips are never the answer.

[SteveMacD]

I'm not saying david did anything wrong, by any means. people can do what they want. I was just saying steve was wrong about the people who were friends with him just being happy he was back when that's not the case.

Which assumes that he had access to any of the above. I don't know what -if anything- happend, and I'm certainly not going to ask for or feel that I'm entitled to some type of explaination. That's David's business, not yours, not mine. Just enjoy that he's back.

[BTFLCHLD]

Guilt trips creepy is what this thread turned to be. David and I have had a lovely conversation since his return. There must be a reason he has chosen to keep in touch with those he has. I certainly didn't expect an apology to me for his haitus...I would imagine it's called LIFE. :wavey:

creepy? please. for one thing, i wasn't even talking about myself. i was saying there are people out there who were hurt by what he did. it's great that david's back; i'm very glad he is. but it's lame that people got hurt.

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

and while we're on the topic of creepy, can we talk about your lindsey lindsey lindsey thread? :wavey:

I absolutely agree with you. It's not of my business, or anyone's who he doesnt' want it to be their business. it's just that everyone assumes i'm talking about "the community" is upset he never gave an explanation. I am SO happy david is back. The community would never be the same without him. He's one of the wittiest (dry humor that I love :) ) and knowledgeable members of the ledge. I would hate for him to leave, but if that's what he needs to do, i completely understand. Everyone has personal things they need to take care of.

But there were several members who were very concerned that something horrible had happened to him. After weeks of trying to figure out what was going on, he sent someone to basically say "yep. he's fine. go back to whatever you were doing" um. thanks for the half-assed attempt is what I'm sure they were thinking. but hey....like you said, it's really none of my business, so I'll drop it.

[BTFLCHLD]

it's lame that people got hurt. awww did little feelings get hurt? :laugh:

[jannieC]

I didn't know David personally, so when he stopped posting, I wasn't "worried" about him. I did feel for people who were, though. I had an online friendship once that kind of fizzled out like that and it was kind of hurtful to me. Perhaps some people take these "friendships" more seriously than others.

I am glad David is back because his posts are hilarious to me- very dry and tongue in cheek- which always cracks me up.

[skcin]

I'm sure David's getting a kick out of all this attention being paid to his absence & return. Good for the ego, no doubt.

Just to expand on my earlier post, I don't think this is about people's "little feelings" being hurt. It's about the fact that David had previously mentioned some health issues or medical testing & soon after, he was gone without an explanation. I don't think people would have been all that upset had he replied to their emails/phone calls with a simple "leave me alone!" or even a "f*ck off!" But he didn't. He didn't respond at all, and some people were honestly concerned about his well being. When they found out he was simply ignoring them, they were peeved. Understandable, IMO.
