If there's anyone you are missing, post here. Maybe someone can get in touch with them.
Did Lakswimr ever make it over here? ??? I was just thinking of her, and I don't think I've seen her post since the move.
She hasn't signed in here with that name. :(
I keep hoping to see that she's been here, but I haven't seen her YET.
Hmmmm... I know her town, but not her last name, address or phone number. I suppose I could go through her town knocking on every door until I find her. Might take a loooong time, though.
Has anyone heard from lake swimmer since the move? New name maybe?
Hi! I have been busy and haven't been on the internet as much so I didn't see this thread until today. Hope you are all doing well. Thank you for thinking of me.
:smooch: Yay!! I'm really happy to see you, lakeswimr!
:bye: Glad to see you!!!
oh- glad to see you've made it! I was thinking of you as kindergarten approaches...Hope all is well!

glad to see you too! :)
Yea!
what about willow and ceil?
I was just thinking about Ciel too...I remember just before the move she was struggling....
Yes, I've been thinking about them as well.
And as always, joeybeth. I hope all is well with her.
I find myself thinking about Geoff and Helen this afternoon and wondering how they are doing.
I hope that their family is well.
I wasn't sure where to put this, but I will no longer be posting as jennifer41. I had to change my user name. I will be using this new one now.
No problem-- we all understand the occasional need for a username that can't be tied to our kids IRL. :yes:
That's exactly why I had to do it.
I haven't seen Arkadia around for a while? Does anyone know whether she is on vacation, working crazy hours, or some other reason she hasn't been around?
I've been thinking about Jacobsmom and Joeybeth this week. I hope they are well, and wish they'd come back!
How about Peg? Anyone hear from her?

battles? No I think what we had recently in OT was no-drama good 'ole discussion of topics that have many different viewpoints and opinions. I didn't have the "sense of battle" in the higher-ed threads/topics, just a lively respectful discussion.

Where is Ark.......it has been a while, not like her to be gone so long
I hope all is well with her family...

I spoke with Arkadia the other night. I was concerned that it had been awhile and wanted to make sure she was okay, prior to realizing she was banned.
She is doing well, the kids are keeping her busy and she laughs that she actually has time to work now :)
How about Lilpig? Anyone hear from her?
Im glad to know she is doing well......
I miss her, maybe because i feel like I have seen her kids grow......
sometimes felt her barb......yes......but never felt to bad for long...I still miss her......my personal opinion. I know.
Mommabridget? Peg? Anyone in touch with them off-board? CookingMom? And Jacobsmom too!
I saw Peg pop in the other day for a few minutes, so I know that she's still 'around' occasionally... you might try sending her a PM.
I've not seen MommaB in a while, and I know that they were wrestling with a few things at the time.
Hey!! I'm checking in. :bye: :bye:
Just been a bit depressed about all this allergy stuff and needed a break. DS has dropped out of the SLIT study. Funny thing, his mouth ulcers have mysteriously disappeared once he stopped those dreaded drops ~) They did not *think* his mouth ulcers where related to the drops, no other reported cases. However, it is evident to us that is why he had so many, so big, so much of the time.
I'm still working out of town, and no computer (except work computer) so I RARELY can post, but I do read on my iPhone.
I feel like Eeyore, thanks for noticing me (gone)! LOL
:bye: It's great to see you again!
I completely understand your need to hunker down a while. We :heart: that you (and your DS) were willing to be in the study, MommaB. :grouphug: I think that there are a wider range of responses to desensitization than have been fully explored yet, unfortunately-- from what our allergist has told us, actually, your DS' story (mystery symptoms... probably not related, but really, who knows...) is not uncommon across all immunotherapy trials. That's not scientific, of course, because mostly the N's are too small, but there are these worrying little hiccups in individual participants. It's concerning.
It's amazing how stressful daily dosing is anyway-- even when it is going well, it's like always having that shoe in the background waiting to drop. :-/
Sorry to hear about your stress, Mommab, but so glad to hear from you. :heart:
I wonder how Janelle's summer is going? Maybe her DH will pop in and let us know.
I've also been thinking about Alt to Main/Cindy. Anyone in touch with her off-board?
Going Nuts - you may have to join FB. I see her there daily :evil:
I used to, but it seems she unfriended me, lol. I guess I was too non-responsive. I do not respond to much, and never to any Farmville things and all that. I have all of that blocked.
She unfriended me too. :-[ I don't think we should take it personally.
I remember something about cleaning up her lists. I think we were suposed to PM if we wanted to remain on her list . I think I procrastenated too long because I was unfriended too.
Hi guys! :bye:
Summer is going well and kids are having a good time. Three more weeks until I head home.
Currently hiding out in the health center where there is ac-the humidity has been brutal the past few days.
Asthma has been up and down. Good reminder for me that going back to work full time isn't really an option - I have to rest a lot.
Hope everyone is having a good summer. You'll be seeing me around again in a few weeks.
:bye:
Howdy Janelle! Glad that you are having fun.
Woo-hoo! Hi Janelle! So glad you popped in. :)
The heat has been a bear this summer, eh?
:bye: Janelle
Anyone heard from eregon? She posted during the Olympic opening ceremonies....haven't seen her since.
She is on holiday (was planning to leave after opening ceremonies).
Thank you.
I was wondering about her and picturing her enjoying tons of events.
Going Nuts, thanks for thinking of me. Let's just say that since last October my life has been so extremely stressful...and that stress increased every single month. Not that I didn't have stress before but... The depression has been unbelievable. It has been difficult to handle. I'm currently in the process of getting my son's 504 rewritten for high school and there is no cooperation, IYKWIM. However, I did receive good news, not related, today which has lifted me tremendously. For the first time in weeks, I have COOKED wonderful food for my family! With all that said, I do count my blessings for I deal with far less than some do. I will try to respond to posts for I do need to get back into cooking--it really does keep me sane!
:heart:
Sorry to hear life has been so difficult Cooking Mom. Please know that you were missed - we're happy to see you back!
:yes: I'm glad that things are looking up for you.
Cooking Mom, I hope that things continue to go well for you!
AllergyMum hasn't posted in a very long time, and she hasn't responded to my PMs or text message. I'm getting very worried. Has anybody heard from her?
Jacobsmom?
I think about Jacobsmom all the time! Wish she was still around.
Jacobsmom is doing well. H
Hi, I'm back. PM back to you Mookie
So glad you are okay, and welcome back!

That is so wonderful to hear. I'm glad that she is well.
have been missing notnutty so much!!
I noticed we haven't heard from Foxy in awhile. I'm sure she's extremely busy with all that's on her plate.
Yes, I was thinking of her yesterday.
As always, thinking of joeybeth. I hope she and her girls are well.
Is anyone in touch with Peg? I was thinking of her yesterday too, as I passed her childhood home.
I saw Foxy on FB the other day.
I was thinking of Peg a few weeks ago--that week Becky was the credited writer for Leverage.
I haven't seen Jmarc in a while. Anyone if know if everything's ok with her?
I was thinking about her too. I'll try emailing her this weekend.
I was also thinking about Alt To Main. I always remember her on her birthday.
Hedgie, JMarc is good :) - she is posting on FB.

I've seen her posting on Facebook. It seems as if all is well but busy for her.
Peg541, Smack, Jazz It Up, California Mom, Codyman, e-mom, McKenzie's Mom, Sue in sunny Arizona, Choguy, Thomas, Jason, SandraY, Katiee, Lam, DRobbins, torontosue, Helen & Geoff, lisa from australia, Renee111064, hannah mom, GailW, Jacob's Mom, kcmom, redtruck, Claire, DebO, Syd's Mom, Cynde, river, Alison (AJinnj?)
Anyone hear from any of these people? Many of them haven't been here in several years or longer...
I was in touch with Peg off-board about 6 months ago. All was well. She is working a lot!
Lisa from Australia posted in OT within the last couple of weeks, maybe in the Prayers thread.
I think of Syd's Mom, Jacob's Mom and Katiee often. I've also thought of Claire - her kids must be so grown now! I think of California Mom every time I pass her in-law's house, LOL.
I really miss Syd'smom! We had been in regular contact and then she sort of disappeared. I hope she pops on here and there and gets in touch. She had been in touch maybe a couple of years ago, now. But then slipped away again.
I have seen Peg post something on FB yesterday. Lisa also posts on FB.
I'm pretty sure toronto sue is on fb. She's not on my friend list, but I'm pretty sure it's her I see post on a friend's page.

If you ever need to get in touch, I get e-mail notification for direct messages. :)
Glad to hear all is well. Busy is good. :yes:
Just hope it is a good busy Rach.

No one ever misses me :pout: but I guess for that I have to be gone for awhile and I go into withdrawals after a day. :misspeak:
:rofl:
Anyone hear from Iron Fox lately? I was wondering how her DH's recovery is coming and how that little grandbaby is doing.
I was wondering about her just the other day, too. :heart: Feeling the need for baby pics, too.
She is doing well, and so is her DH.
TT?
Yes, twinturbo.
TT, I don't know if you're gone for good or if this is just a temporary break. But in case you're reading, I just wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. You've been such a gift to me and my little boy. If our situation ever resolves, I would love to send you a photo of him getting on the bus for the first time.
TT has left? Did I miss something? Oh, I hope not!
I've been wondering about Iron Fox and Jmarc. I hope they and their families are well.
I wonder about IF and Jmarc as well. I drive right by Jmarc just about every week this time of year.
I know TT has been around recently. Did something happen?
Ra3chel? I miss her.
Has anyone heard from Janelle? I'm getting seriously concerned.
I saw this topic raised and immediately wondered about Janelle too (before reading the previous post). I know she was at camp for the summer, but that should be wrapping up by now. Hope she and her new little one are doing ok.
I sent her a message, will let you know if I.hear anything!
I have sent her a PM as well. :crossed: everything is OK and she is just busy, busy, busy.
:thumbsup:
Changing post, misread the post above...hope everything is ok with them.
Still no word? :-[
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Gornischt.
:-/
No response here either
still nothing....huh? Is anyone in contact with her off-board?
:disappointed:
getting very worried about this girl!
I sent an email to Janelle and she responded. All is fine, just crazy busy with baby and life after returning from camp. She hopes to post within a day or two and thanked all of us for thinking of her. She was flattered. :)
Oh thank goodness!!
Yea!
What a relief!
thanks Becca!
So glad to know she's okay!
Thank goodness!
Missing Janelle.
Is anyone in touch with Boo off-board? I was thinking about her yesterday on the way home from work.
Not in a while-- haven't seen/heard much since her DS started college, actually. I've been thinking about her a lot lately, too.
I was just thinking about Boo too.
Where's Mezzo? I miss her!
She's doing well. She just doesn't get the chance to Coke to the boards very often. We text fairly frequently--and did so two nights ago.
I got to see her DD in a performance a couple of months ago. I imagine I'll have the opportunity to see all three of her kids next weekend if they have the same Speech schedule as last year. DS will be competing against two (maybe all three) of her kids.
Pretty freaking cool.
I'm still here, but don't check in much as dd is all grown up (23 on Sun). She starts her nursing career in Feb, is engaged to be married. Lives with us during week, with fiance on weekend. Currently working for an optical dispenser (SpecSavers). Had a big holiday to Zimbabwe just over a year ago, with no problems re allergies (she took her own food on plane). Got to meet her fiances extended family :clap:
MIL and SIL's hubby both passed away in the last month so it has been rather difficult over the last few months :-[
I am sorry for your loss. But it sounds like your DD is in a good place. You did a great job over the past 23 years. You should be proud.
LfA, it is so good to hear from you, and that your DD is doing so well. My condolences on your family's recent losses.
Sorry for your loss.
Wonderful news about your DD!
Hi Lisa, I have no idea what happened to my post this morning.
Im about your family's losses, but I'm so happy to hear that your DD is doing well!

Hi Lisa, I have no idea what happened to my post this morning.
You are not crazy. Your post was there because I remember posting after it...........................I have had some occasional posts disappear too! I think the youngsters around here are playing tricks on us!
Whew, I thought I was losing my mind! :insane:
Well, maybe that is beside the point :evil:
:tongue: ;D
Lisa had also posted in OT. Perhaps it was there where you previously posted? I had posted to her there.
Hello again, Lisa! Sorry for your losses. It sounds like you have some good times ahead, with your daughter's wedding!
Speaking of Lisa, I also remember a Helen and Geoff from Australia from many years ago... do they still visit? And didn't see Peg around for years either.
Peg has been here occasionally, haven't seen Helen and Geoff in a very long time! So many people I miss from the old days!
^ Ditto!
yes.. so many people from many years ago who have dropped out of site. such a long list :( :( :(
I don't drop by as much anymore either as too busy with my job and the two kids, but still make a point of occasionally visiting so I won't be vanishing without a trace! :)
I mean, I can't go away, as I have duties to fulfill here.. like, who is going to post photos of the PA.COM allergy free ice cream facility once every few years...... if not me??!! LOL The most recent update that I have on this facility is that they are still working on the planning and doing a feasibility study so if you want to move things along, maybe Becca can look into it to see if any progress has been made ;)

Hi Purple Cat!
oh, I think the computers at the PA COM control centre are UNIVAC models purchased by C.P. at a garage sale in upstate New Year so it may take a while for them to process your resume since these are old models with only have 4K of memory.. very slow processing speed! :P
(that had been used by WKBW's "Commander" Tom Jolls back in the late 1960s for his Accu Weather forecasts during channel 7 Eyewitness News with Irv Weinstein)
:rofl:
Oh my. That image in my head.
;D I love to start my day with laughter!
candyguru I don't know how accurate it is to talk about people having dropped off who haven't been here at all in the last ten years or more, yk? They essentially haven't been a part of this community--this one.

Macabre: I wrote a light hearted and fun post that new members who were
not here 10 years ago would have no idea why I am posting pictures of an abandoned ice cream facility. So how is that inaccurate? Inaccurate = "not true", "incorrect"... How would a new member who joined during the past 10 years know what I am talking about? I have no idea why you say what I wrote is inaccurate. Perhaps you don't appreciate light hearted and fun in the main discussion board or think that I am confusing new members here so I will stick to off topic next time.
Sorry--wrong word. Yeah, I don't know what word would work.
I love the ice cream factory stuff--cracks me up. I guess I just worry about what it looks like to miss people from this group out loud when they haven't been here (I don't know Geoff. I came occasionally from 2000-2004 and got more active in 2005).
I don't know--it makes me sad, like people don't want to be our friends, lol.
I guess I have had really bad personally experiences of people at churches I've been a part of who long for folks who left five years prior. In those particular situations, those people focus on who is gone rather than who is there, including all the new people. In those cases, there is unspoken finger pointing at the minister, even though it's a natural cycle in church life. People come. People go. Focusing on those who have gone doesn't help the community move forward.
So--that's a LOT to lay on a lighthearted post here, I know. ;)
Just explaining my post a bit and the stuff I brought to it.

Has Janelle been around lately?
(Worry, worry, worry.)
I bet her little bundle is keeping her super busy! I remember baby days as very blurry and if I got a shower in, I was an accomplished woman!
Missing NinjaRoll as well.
Heard from her lately-- they are well, just SUPER busy. :)
Has anyone heard from Janelle?
worry worry worry
Has CM been around?
She hasn't been here for 5 days. Worrisome :-/ I'll see if I can get ahold of her via email...
Heard back from CM. All is well, thankfully. :) She's just been super busy with work and normal family stuff.
:bye:
All is well, just VERY busy. :) I think of y'all often, though. :smooch:
Any word from CM?
Sorry-- again, things have just been crazy-busy.
:bye:
DD's been having a lot of asthma trouble this year, unfortunately... :-/
Sorry she is having asthma trouble. Nice to 'see' you. :)
Anyone in touch with Tabi?
I am - she has been safe but struggling with flooding in the area (even canceled first day of school). I will remind her to check in :)
I figured she was busy with school starting, but didn't know about the flooding. :-/. I hope they're all OK.
OH so sorry, I have been popping by now and then to see whats up but just haven't had much time to start posting. It is Monday of the second week of school but I know it is more like three weeks since I have been around much. We are all safe and ok. Mother's property has had some damage and yes we had to cancel the first day of school we had street flooding and some homes in the community were damaged nothing like what they are seeing in Louisiana though. Part of the ceiling in my classroom fell in again. Again they just stuck another ceiling tile up and the leak is still there. It is raining again and I am watching the water stain grow. My conference time is end of the day this year and it is taking some adjustment. I tend to be a high energy teacher and boy am I warn out after six back to back classes. My mom is going back and forth to Houston her mother has been day to day for over a year. My Aunt had some kind of accident and ended up with a detached retina. DD started high school this year and CRAZY schedule ;). Have to run have a meeting in five will make some time to drop in tonight.
And I clearly got distracted because I meant to send Tabi a message. Flipping between phone and computer is proving to be detrimental to me.
Sh no one would have known if you hadn't said. ;D
So glad you checked in Tabi!
yes Tabi :)

Hi Going Nuts & Tabi,
Those girls are growing up. They both started school this week... grade 1 (6 years old) and grade 4 (9 years old)... time flies!!
I must post some pics in off topic sometime soon.. I'll let you know!
9 nine ??? ??? What ? How
This whole "growing up" thing freaks me out. :o
Hi Candyguru! Nice to hear from you. 6 and 9???
And my girl will be 17 next week!?

Is anyone in touch with GingerPye? I hope she and her family are well.
Hi guys. Don't know what prompted me to drop into tonight after so long...maybe the extra glass of wine at dinner. :) Glad to see this community still exists and seems to be thriving.
I see Ginger on Facebook. Her daughter and my son are about the same age...getting through their college years.
My son is doing really, really well. He has had no relapses or issues since the clinical trial. He still carries an Epi for the peanut allergy (or at least as often as I can shame him into it), but he eats everything else on that former list of allergens without trouble. Was it the medication? Did he just outgrow and I (and his doctors) were overly cautious in terms of challenging him? We'll never know, and we definitely disagree. While I believe the trial had a huge effect, I think he believes that most of his restrictions and allergies were more minor than I made them out to be. Stories about his reactions from others don't seem to make a difference. He really believes I got my personal identity from starting this board and the FAB blog, and that I was invested in him being allergic. Those are hard things to hear, and harder to admit there may have been some truth in them. Of course I don't believe his allergies were imaginary, but I honestly don't know whether I was more afraid than I should have been. How can you possibly gauge that? But I did have to take time away from all FA things to lick my wounds after those difficult conversations. So hard to know if the good you do in the world ever outweighs the bad.
Boo, my son, is a senior in college now, studying history and all things Middle East. He'll be going to Jordan over Winter Break (something I could not have even imagined 5 years ago) for an intensive Arabic program. My daughter (Brina) is a senior in high school now and taking the world by storm. She's a talented linguist and is hoping to study international business in a big city somewhere far away from home. Hard to let go of your children, but mine are eager to get out there and I'm happy they have the confidence to do it. So much easier without the specter of MFAs hanging over his head.
We have not heard much about the clinical trial, other than they never published because results were inconsistent. The 30-pills-a-day was very difficult and one of the program people said they had a lot of difficulty with compliance. I heard they were reformulating the drug to a more concentrated form, but nothing after that. It seems there are a lot of promising therapies on the horizon, so who knows which will will the race? I just hope that they find something soon that works for more kids.
Can't think of much else to report. Trying to figure out what life with an empty nest involves. Hope all of you are doing well and that your kiddos are growing up safe and happy. Such a long way FA advocacy has come since we started in the 90s! Was very happy to put that teal pumpkin on my door this Halloween. :)
Hi Boo - so glad you stopped in!
Great to hear your kiddos are doing well. We've really watched each our kids grow up here, and it feels more like family than our actual families at times.
My FA DS is now 22 and in his first year of Law School. I secretly thought he might have outgrown because he hadn't had a reaction in so long, until he had a reaction this summer. So I guess not.
I hope you'll stick around awhile!
:bye: hi Boo! Glad you stopped in and all is well! Stick around!
I'm glad to see you Boo! You have been on my mind lately as we were discussing the trial in a Science Based Food Allergies on FB.
So happy to hear from you! Often wondered how things were going. Glad your children are thriving and that you are doing well.
Nothing about food allergies is ever black or white, we are always guessing, assuming, and an overabundance of caution is necessary, bodies behave differently depending on circumstances, hormones, you name it.
I hope you never doubt how much your efforts, your shared experiences, knowledge and education have been appreciated.
Your son is an adult and ready to take on the world and whether he agrees with how you chose to do so or not, you got him to this great place he is at and helped mold him into the adult he has become!
Well said, PC!
Boo! I am so glad to you stopped in and so incredibly happy to hear how well both of your kids are doing.
Your posts here and your blog really helped me to take the plunge and move to Mt. Sinai and to trust the allergists and do food challenges. We have had successes and failures. Both kids can eat baked milk and DS (12) can eat pizza which has been life changing. DS also kicked beef years ago. Both failed baked egg and thats ok. Thank you for updating us and thank you for your advocacy bc it really helped changed our lives.
Has anyone seen nameless around?
Has gvmom been around? I hope she's OK.
Yeah, me, too. I've been missing her.
Hey—I think I remembered that she posted fairly recently actually.
Has gvmom been around? I hope she's OK.
I'm around. DS1 had a medical emergency a couple weeks back and it has kind of upended everything. Not FA related, though we are still lucky he is alive.
But, as happens most times in life, we've had other things sprinkled on top of that which have kept me pretty overwhelmed and just trying to keep my nostrils above water.
So.... ya know.... I'm just :-/ these days.
:grouphug: gvmom. I'm glad you stopped by, but so sorry to hear about your son! Hope he is doing well and you get your head above water soon!
Glad he's OK, but sorry about whatever he went through.
Oh no. Thanks for letting us know. You know we're a bunch of worriers. :grouphug:
Is anyone in touch with Foxy? For some reason she has been on my mind.
I saw her post on someone's FB this past week.
I was thinking about CMDeux. Hoping things are as okay as they can be.
Has anyone heard from CM off-board? I think about them all the time. :-/
I see her posting regularly on FaceBook. Hopefully she'll check in around here at some point.
I don't think I've seen Tabi around lately - hope she and her family are well.
Is anyone in touch with gvmom off-board? I haven't seen in her ages. I hope all is well.

Did she leave? I think I missed it or have blocked it out.

Nothing here caused her to leave, but she hasn't been here in a long while. I see her on Facebook and I had lunch with her in October - she's doing well.
I did some searching and looks like she left here b/c people were uncomfortable about how she was posting wrt to her dd. So I do think something here caused her to leave.
Looks like she has another more public social media forum to post that stuff on.
Thinking about gvmom, and hoping all is well with Ciel.

I always worried about her and I hope she is well.

:heart: If I ever get to travel your direction... :crossed:
Has anyone heard from Tabi? Or Yelloww?
People I was thinking about last night when I couldn't sleep -
Boo
JoeyBeth
Cindy Spowart Cook
Candyguru (Erik)
Has anyone heard from them? Know how they are?
It's very possible that I have simply not seen her recent posts, but I don't think I've I've seen anything from Janelle in a while. Anyone know how she is doing, or whether she has been here lately?
She gave a quick check in the other day in Adult Depression.
Ah, I don't follow that thread.
Erik Candyguru hasn't checked in in ages. Is anyone in touch with him off board?

His kiddos must be getting so grown up!
Has anyone heard from Janelle? I hope she's just busy with camp stuff and that she is OK.
I was thinking of her and wondering the same thing last night. I hope all is well.
