But then, like you, I thought, what if I forgot or just got busy(I never had the imagination to think of going to Rome:) and it got published. Yikes.<br />I was so sorry to hear what you have been through and just hope you are well on the way to being totally well. There were a lot of people out there worried about you and even posting about it. We are all happy you are back. Be 100% soon my friend. You are needed in this blog world and our world.

Met is a weak word for it is more of a reunion as we know so much about eachother. <br />I am delighted you have made blog arrangements and support your donation very much.

Patti, up until last summer, I kept a blog-post in my own blog account that was dated ONE WEEK in the future. It began with "If you can read this blog... something has happened to me. I'm either missing or worse." Every Friday I changed the date on it to next week, so it was never published--but would in a week if I didn't stop it. Anyway, I finally got rid of it last summer, what if I won a trip to Rome or something and forgot to reset that blog-date before I left? I figure once I'm really gone, people will catch on soon enough. <br /><br />Patti I also wanted to thank you for both of your very kind messages on my own blog this week. I normally like to respond to every comment individually, but this damn covid had me too wiped out. But your comments.. you have a real way with words. You're a very thoughtful friend. Thank you.ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-57002685979783838092022-01-21T11:39:00.898-06:002022-01-21T11:39:00.898-06:00Because of the new blogger dashboard, it is harder...Because of the new blogger dashboard, it is harder to keep "future" posts from publishing too soon.

I have not been consistent about posting, but there are blogging friends who have made an impact on my life, especially their encouragement after my hemorrhagic stroke in 2011.

I've actually met about 7 blogger friends in person and one (who does not continue her blog now) has become a friend that emails at least once a week and I spent a weekend at her house about 6 years ago. <br />Like one of your other bloggers said ... I have told my family to be sure and post it on my blog after I'm gone. I am donating my body to science as my late husband did and I want it known because I believe strongly that it helps in the knowledge of new medical things and, as one of the Docs that I worked with says "it makes all the difference in how a Dr. performs if he has worked on an actual body as compared to one who was taught with dummies, like the one used to train CPR.)<br />I didn't mean to write so much but, once again, I never miss your blogs and thanks for coming to mine.

Usually if a blogger is sick the last thing their family will think about is the blog audience. Often we don't know their last names nor anymore that a general living area. Blog anonymity is a blessing and a curse. Hope you find out and she is well.

Yep, my son gets it to notify peeps. He's on all my bank stuff anyway. Simple trust and will made out years ago to flex whenever needed. Trust is good to lay out Plan B, C, D....in case son became an evil drug addict or something. Not much money any way. There's a couple of prep books: "I'm Dead: Now What?" and "Good to Go" meaning ready to exit when it's time.

I know there is a place on facebook where you can state now what you want done should you pass. I wish they had that for the blog. A woman who I adored stopped posting. She sent me some lovely art pieces she made. Then I bought some things she made. Then she was gone. I wrote an email and asked if she was well. I heard nothing. Her blog is still up but she hasn't posted in a few years. I think she may have passed. She was struggling with her health and she was only 50. I wish she had her husband or someone let us know she's okay or not.I think of her often as silly as that may sound.
