Where Is Halfpint1??? - Page 6

Nothing that has been said here is a violation of her privacy. She has said it all before, many times @alicedee , and more besides...People that are on her threads all know this information

She tells us everything..It is not like anyone knows, who anyone is ,or where they live on this forum

There is no way to commuincate anything privately. It is a shame, but that is the limitations we are faced with..This stuff has all been hashed, and rehashed ,more than once ,by halfpint herself

This isn't the first time a thread has been started about this poster. You aren't going to tell me the OP didn't know what type of a path this was going to go down.

Not to mention she posted on the 3rd. Today is the 16th. It's not as if she hasn't been heard from in months.

@cherry, you would be surprised what people have been able to find out about posters from information posted here on the board. I'm not going to get into all that because it has been discussed before.

I too am stepping way from this thread.

Many have tried to help her ,by giving her suggestions, seems she never follows through, does she ever thank any one? Not that i have seen, she blames her son about things, so how can any one on here help her?

When you lose some one you L~O~V~E, that Memory of them, becomes a TREASURE.

@Anonymous032819 is a good poster and she doesn't post things to start trouble...stepping away is a good idea

For those who are tsk-tsking, and saying that I should have never started this thread, I want you to know that I started this thread because she is elderly and lives alone, and by her own posts, has memory problems.

I started the thread to let her know that I, and others here CARE for her, WORRY about her, and MISS her.

If it is wrong to feel that about another poster, then I will gladly bear that cross.

We all should be so lucky to have people in our lives who worry about how we are doing, and notice and care if we suddenly go missing.

For those who don't like this thread, as has been said before, you don't have to open it, you don't have to read it, and you most certainly don't have to post on it.

@KingstonsMom We don't know if Bob is the way she portrays him. There are 2 sides to EVERY story, and I think it's wrong to judge him by her posts.

He is not well himself and perhaps it isn't always easy for him to find her misplaced checkbook and other stuff, deal with the noises she hears, etc.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. She doesn't sound like she has much patience.

@Love my grandkids Perhaps we should give halfpint the benefit of the doubt, too.

It's wrong to judge her by her posts.

We don't live with her. Not everyone can express themselves as clearly as others can; so let's just hope for the best for her instead of taking an inventory of her posts.

@Cakers3 is right. She is probably doing the best she can..under the same circumstances, I might do far worse

Getting involved with the lives of people you don't even know, seems a bit weird to me. But, you can do as you please.

Understood @RetRN but it's done out of concern.

For those who are critical and judgmental about this issue, understand that many here have dealt with issues like this.

Halfpint is reaching out, and it is she who initiated the contact and shared the information. We who have dealt with this have tried to respond, we feel sympathy for her AND for her son, and we have tried to be supportive and helpful as best we can.

I have many times called the police to check on my own mother who lived out of state, far away from me, and had phone issues, or stubborness issues. She would be furious with me, but hey, I did what I had to do to make sure she was safe.

It is a hard hard situation. A lot of what anyone will do is the wrong thing to do, but is simply the best they CAN do--the people who are having issue AND the people who care about them. It isn't a perfect world as some might think.
