Well, I really hate to drag everyone back to the original topic when obviously all the talk about Vegas and the Shelby is so much more fun...

This is not the first time I've had a friend go AWOL...the last time it happened it didn't take nearly this long to find the person and you just don't want to know how many proverbial trees me and another friend went barking up before the MIA friend contacted us and let us know he was OK. Let's just say I even touched base with a reporter about it before the friend turned up. You just don't want to know more.

Anyway, don't ask me how I know this but I think Fey lives in Bayswater, Australia. So if no one has heard from her yet and if no one has any alternative contact info for her, maybe someone here on this Wiki lives in that area and can find out if she's okay (and no, Freckles doesn't...don't ask how I know that either). Just a thought. Of course, I keep hoping she'll contact us soon on her own...

Jennifer makes a great point...it's a good idea for users here to have another user or so with whom they've shared their contact info. It's good in case they go AWOL so that someone on this Wiki can still reach them and make sure they're okay, as in Fey's case, and get the word out to any other users who are concerned. It's good also because sometimes social media is just no replacement for talking on the phone or seeing each other in person. And even when a user might have plenty of friends and family around to help them, it still helps if someone from this group can reach out to them as well. For example, I know Pamster has reached out to other users by phone in times of bereavement or a crisis. And also it's nice to share your contact info so you can have a point of contact who can handle the social media for you in times of need. I'm going through such an event currently myself. I have a friend who lost her husband yesterday and we're connected through Facebook. Just last year she also lost her only child and when that happened, a few of us swooped in and took care of a majority of the communications for her and it really helped. We're working on that again now.

Currently, I'm covered for such points of contact elsewhere but no one here on this Wiki has contact info for me and I'm really reluctant to post it here, for the obvious reasons. But if Pamster or Jennifer or another user I uber post with would like to exchange contact info, I'd be happy to in chat. And it's something others may want to consider as well...if they haven't already done so.

Meanwhile, still hoping Fey is okay. 🙏
