TWO POSTERS WHO CONTRIBUTED MUCH

Oznell — Thu, 23 Mar 2023 00:23:51 GMT

Just a little recognition for two absent posters who enhanced the forums for me.

Talented Godi with her wonderful landscape (and skyscape!) photos that brought unexpected beauty, sometimes on almost a daily basis. The onset of spring this year set me to reminiscing, since she caught the seasons so well. Godi has a keen aesthetic sense for other things too-- she contributed to the Home forum very enjoyably, among others.

And Nonametoday, is another, greatly missed in "Home", for her expertise and knowledge about all things related to decor, houses, etc. She can analyze a room to within an inch of its life, and bring unique insights that were sometimes tart and sometimes funny, but always discerning. Although she made a conscience decision to leave here, I hope at some point she'll reconsider the "pause".

@godi and @Nonametoday, hope to see you sometime, and hope you are having a great spring.

Nice idea for a thread @Oznell ! Personally I miss Lolakimono in the Fashion Forum. She was a very helpful poster who could locate fashion items in a flash. I remember that she changed jobs and evidently doesn't have the time to post any more.

Oh, rats, @shoesnbags -- I'm sorry that @lolakimono is not in the Fashion forum anymore. I have missed her in "Home", but thought she was still around for fashion. She is fun and always so ready to put her sleuthing talents to work, finding things for other posters. Another lamented absence.

I have not seen Retired Legal Secretary post anything for quite a long time now. Some of her posts were hilarious. I remember she was dealing with medical issues. Hope she's alright. Can't remember how long it's been.

I'm so glad you started this thread.

I miss Godi's beautiful pictures and was just thinking of Lola today.

Sending out prayers for health and happiness.

I worry about half pint and wonder where she is and how she is. She lived alone but her son was near by.

Didn't lolakimono pass away or was that someone else?

@kelshar , Retired Legal Secretary is still around, but under another nic. I found an old post she is now @CrazyKittyLvr2 .

@catter70 that makes sense. That did cross my mind, changing nicknames is not uncommon.

Thank you for kind words, @JoyFilled Warrior .

@Calcgirl , I hope and trust that @lolakimono just became busier with her new job responsibilities; but some who frequent the "Fashion" forum might know more.

@Oznell ............I have often wondered what happened to Godi. I enjoyed her photography. Hoping she is doing good and is just busy with a fun life.

@Calcgirl I think you might be thinking of Andreatoo who did pass away. I haven't heard anything about Lolakimino other than she did take on a new job and had gotten busy.

I, too wonder why people leave this board and hope it's voluntary - Not due to illness or banning, or unkindness from a poster.

I really miss @CareBears on the Book club forum. She was a avid reader and would leave many great reviews. She has not posted in a few months She was having problems typing so that might be the cause.

@kelshar

I know many long timers here might have had to change nics, myself included. Why? Because of so-called upgrades. It is pretty easy to figure out who I was/am, because my signature was/is the same. "hckynut".

Why do others change their nicknames on any social media site? Would like to see some reasons for their change, other than "they were forced to do so" to gain access to these forums.
