Excuse me?  I am not AI, lolol.  I also don't read these forums daily or weekly to know when someone posted or responded last.  I was just genuinely asking where she's been because I hadn't seen a post in a long time.  But 'thank you' to those of you that replied with some answers to my question.  I hope she is doing well and is resting up.

@snipsnapsnur There have been other threads about Sandy and as with all threads questioning where is a poster this one also is not turning out well.

Kind words about her are stepped on because some can never 

accept a nice person.

She has to be AI.🙄

Her posts are cut and paste and I would like to see how Bri would even know this.🙄

Sandy posted this month. Easy enough to find.

@Cakers3  we never know what is going on in one's life, or who they are here on forums  What they tell us is all we know, and we take their persona on faith or a grain of salt. There are people I have known on these forums through the years, who were deeply lonely, depressed and struggling with issues.  Sometimes being on the board was the only contact they had all day. One poster I actually met in my home town at post office returning QVC package lol. She is not longer here on boards. She really struggled with illness, and RA..but you never knew it by posts how bad she was

@snipsnapsnur  OMG. I AM AN IDIOT, LOL. See, you know for sure I am not,AI.  I didn't mean you in my post.  My post was just general post about the theory of Sandy being AI.  lol. I actually was thinking about her not posting the other day. I need to reread posts better.  Sorry

@shoekitty and @tansy  In my heyday, I made a ton of money, until my wonderful hospital job was outsourced to a service in 2016.  Then I worked for a service editing voice wreck (wreck not a typo as you know) making about 1/3 of my previous pay.  It is so sad how bad these medical record reports are now.

[monicakm]

I haven't read all these comments (some accusatory) and I'm not even sure I know what she's being accused of and if I did know, I probably forgot. Bless her heart.  @SandySparkles is such a kind and positive soul.  I too suffer from cognitive issues (due to MS and medication).  I hope no one is, in any way, making fun of her because of that.  There is no conspiracy here on her part.

I am simply stating that the posts seem generated by some method, not written and typed each individually by someone.

They are repetitive, oddly phrased and very unique to any other posts on here.  And none of us "welcome" to a post because nobody runs this board to welcome up on behalf of. . . So why would you do that?

Whether someone is using some AI or other method to generate responses because of a disability, or whether it is truly AI and not a person I don't know and don't know of any statement by the poster.  

I have not shamed or slammed, but raised a valid question.  It's something that to me stands out in an odd way for this board.

@MamaWick @My BFF mom had her own medical transcribing business from 1968-2012. The last 12 years she owned it, but had others working for her.  The business was almost non existent in 2012, as not only outsourcing, but lack of really qualified transcribers. My Doctor himself told me months ago, when all my medical allergies, illness, surgical history was messed up it was the poor quality work they get. Scary one month I was 6 years younger, and 20 lbs lighter and I went from 5'2" to 5'7. lol. I check everything now on line after a visit

Well, I hope Sandy Sparkles reads this. I enjoyed her posts and kindness.  I remember she posted pictures of herself, very lovely.  I hope she resumes posting.
