Keep 'em guessing I say!

Well I hope when I pop my clogs my kids will be too busy being just a little it sad to see me go to bother about GN!

Anyway, I want a thread "Where's Gonegirl?" at least five pages long. And continuing over the course of several weeks.

Thanks for ideas. I will give her my details so she can log in but it would be nice, as Buffybee says, if there were a specific place - a virtual graveyard grin.

Just give her your log in details and she can go on as you and inform us all.

I’m like Ann , I have exchanged contact details with another GNetter who I know has no family so in the event of an issue I can share with others here who ‘know’ her .

I'm not sure about this, part of me thinks it would be quite nice to leave things open and have a sort of mysterious disappearance. Does anyone know what happened to trisher? Maybe all sorts of rumours would spring up! grin

Another GNer and I have agreed that a family member will let the other one know, if/when the worst happens.
We have exchanged numbers and e-mail addresses.

Perhaps there should be a Forum for past or passed Gransnetters.
I know there's a Bereavement Forum but that's not exactly the same thing really.

Schnakie, that's a thought. I am older than you and I have been wondering.........everyone here has become our friend, regardless of being virtual. I think we should tell our next of kin or leave a note inside the pocket of our iPad cover, with passwords etc and ask our children to go on line and inform GNs

Sorry to start a 'downer' discussion, and maybe this has been addressed before - if so please advise me where to look. I am currently a healthy 67 year old, but my daughter and I often speak about death in a low-key, sometimes jokey but often just matter-of-fact way. Recently she said that when I die she would post it on Facebook, as I have lived in several different countries and she does not know all my friends. Then she asked how she would let Gransnetters know! I'm not sure they would want to! But the reason she asked is because she knows how much I treasure this site, and I quote from it very often and I found myself wishing there was a way we would be informed if / when our virtual dear friends die. Any ideas?
