Do your loved ones know about Pricescope?

[missy]

And if something should happen to you would they let PSers know?

Given recent events I was thinking about this.
I genuinely care about PSers and when PSers just stop posting I worry. As many of us do.

Do your loved ones know you post on PS?
If so would they let us know should something happen?
I do feel like we are a family of sorts and care about most PSers.

My DH found PS for me so yes he not only knows about PS it is his fault (lol) I am on PS.
He would let you know if something happened. I wouldn't just disappear.

What about you?

My mum can never know about how much I spend on blings, never!

She lives 8 time zones away for many reasons!

[missy]

I also would like to take a moment to tell you all how much I care about you.
I have made some amazing friendships here. Friendships that have extended into my real life.

I genuinely like most of you so much.
I appreciate and admire you.
I value your opinions even when I don't agree with them
(most of the time because there are some exceptions but I won't go into that lol).

Even if I don't always say it I value your friendship even if only online.
And especially those whose friendships have made it offline into my daily life.

Thank you all for spending time here making PS a brighter, sweeter, kinder place to be.
Thank you for making difficult times less difficult.
Thank you for being a sounding board.
Thank you for being supportive during tough times.
Thank you for rejoicing with me during happy times.
Thank you for making life a little bit easier and more pleasant during challenging times.
Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for your perspective.
Thank you for your friendship.

My DH knows about PS and even about some specific PS’ers I’ve talked about. I have asked him in the past to let the community know if anything happens to me. I do wonder how timely that would be since he would suddenly be the sole parent of two kids and still have to work.

I was thinking just yesterday about having the ability to have a status on a profile. It would be optional of course but it would allow someone to say if they were away, taking a break, dealing with health issues etc. Just a thought.

 

[dk168]

PS helped me through difficult times, and I am very grateful to be part of this community.

I hope I would be able to meet more of you in person in future.

No one, and I mean no one, in my work and social circles share my bling obsession.

[ZestfullyBling]

My DH is aware of my bling and PS. This is a great question @missy and I thought about the same in light of recent events.

I joined nearly 10 yrs ago, I actually don't think I post enough or share enough on PS to matter. So I don't think it would cross his mind. I am grateful to be part of PS community. However, if I had friendships that were offline and in real life like you then DH would let my friends know for sure.

 

[pearlsngems]

My husband knows to inform 2 other forums where I have been more active for more years, but I have not asked him to notify PS specifically. I don't post here enough for people to wonder, I think.

 

[missy]

I’m on the go and running about so can’t respond individually right now but I just want you to know, from my heart, I would notice if you suddenly weren’t here anymore. That includes you @pearlsngems @ZestfullyBling

 

[Mreader]

He knows I’m on the forum but is a bit clueless haha. I just asked him “Do you know the name of the jewelry forum I’m on?” He said “Yes……um….(blank stare)…..” So no, he wouldn’t know to alert anyone.

 

[Austina]

Yes, my DH knows about PS, and knows that if anything were to happen to me, I’d like him to inform the NIRDIs. Although I know that if I disappeared for a while, I’d be contacted to find out why.

 

[chrono]

Family knows I am on some sort of diamond forum but I doubt they know the name of the forum. Highly unlikely anyone on PS will be notified of my passing.

 

[nala]

Have you designated anyone...

To inform PS about you if anything unexpected were to happen to you? It’s a morbid thought but PS is like a family to many of us and I know that I genuinely wonder where some posters are. Some of us don’t have ps fb, etc. so we have no way of knowing if those posters are even alive. Have you...

[tyty333]

My DH knows about PS. He always teases that he's going to get on and make a bunch of contentious posts under my name. So,
if you see something that looks like I've lost my senses...that would be DH! Seriously, I don't think he would EVER do that.
I'm not sure if something happened to me if he would think about letting PS know. I just told him to do it...but ???

I appreciate Wink and DF's family letting us know of his passing. I thought a lot about him yesterday.

 

[MamaBee]

My family knows I’m on “a board.” I never mentioned the name. I would feel censored if they had the name. A few people from PS have my phone number, email, or home address.

 

[yssie]

My PS friends are every bit as beloved as the friends I met in other in-person venues. PS is part of my “real life”

 

[pearlsngems]

@missy, thank you.
It would be posted on the other pearl forum. People from here who know me there would post it.

 

[kenny]

Let my SO come here and learn what an A Hole I actually am?
Are you crazy?
It hasn't been easy, but I've gotten him to think fairly highly of me.

Seriously, both our puters are in the living room facing the middle of the room.
So it would be easy to see how the other is p!ssing away valuable time.
Every few days I'll show him something here.

But I will make a point to ask him to notify yallz of my death, just no high-resolution macro pictures of my corpse. Sorry.

 

[MissGotRocks]

My family knows all about PS but honestly don’t think they would think about ‘notifying’ anyone here if something were to happen. My son would be most likely to do that so I will make sure I mention it to him. Thanks for the reminder!

 

[Matata]

But I will make a point to ask him to notify yallz of my death, just no high-resolution macro pictures of my corpse. Sorry.

Thanks for the idea Kenny! Maybe I'll do like the Victorians who had a tradition of post-mortem portraits. I'll have DH post a pic of me here wearing all my bling and title the pic: She dead.

 

[CMN]

PS is my secret guilty pleasure so my answer is no. I don’t think my husband would actually understand that participating on this forum is meaningful to me. I don’t get to talk to anyone else about bling except here, which I value so much.

I would definitely notice you both gone and miss you. You definitely matter here!

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

i kind of imangine my last few days spent on earth still tapping away on my keyboard, bad spelling and awful grammer as always

I have had several internet forum friends pass away the last few years and it hurts just like losing any other freind
interesting all but one, right wing buddies amoungst a sea of liberals

no way does anyone know about this place
but Gary is always threatening to hack my greasy lake Springsteen fan forum account but he's too good a speller and they would smell a rat after the first two words

i wish you all good health and happiness
be careful on the road this Christmas and wear your mask and please get the booster

I think that is a thoughtful thing to do but I can understand why some might not want to. I do worry when people just disappear if I don't know they are OK. Some might say it isn't any of my business but I do care about the people here.

Yes, my DH knows about PS, and knows that if anything were to happen to me, I’d like him to inform the NIRDIs. Although I know that if I disappeared for a while, I’d be contacted to find out why.

You bet we would. And if I couldn't get in touch with C I would get in touch with A and K.

Hahaha I better tell Greg if anything should happen to me to Join under his name and post. I do not want his posts associated with mine.

@missy, thank you.
It would be posted on the other pearl forum. People from here who know me there would post it.

Do you mean a different pearl forum other than the PS forum? I need to enter the pearl world. I do think they are magical and beautiful.

My family knows all about PS but honestly don’t think they would think about ‘notifying’ anyone here if something were to happen. My son would be most likely to do that so I will make sure I mention it to him. Thanks for the reminder!

I don't think most of our family members would think to notify online places we hang out. I asked Greg to but truth be told my friends here would probably notify everyone before Greg got to since I know he would be very busy doing other things should that happen. Thank you for asking your son to let PSers know.

My family knows I’m on “a board.” I never mentioned the name. I would feel censored if they had the name. A few people from PS have my phone number, email, or home address.

I get nervous when you don't text me back immediately lol. I am too anxious these days.

PS is my secret guilty pleasure so my answer is no. I don’t think my husband would actually understand that participating on this forum is meaningful to me. I don’t get to talk to anyone else about bling except here, which I value so much.

I love PS too but I don't feel guilty about it...though maybe I should given the state of the world. But we need a safe haven to go to to escape the realities of all that is happening. So yeah guilty pleasures are good. Thank you for being a part of PS.

Thanks for the idea Kenny! Maybe I'll do like the Victorians who had a tradition of post-mortem portraits. I'll have DH post a pic of me here wearing all my bling and title the pic: She dead.

LOL I am imagining this now. Let's hope that doesn't happen for a very very long time.
Of course if DF was here he would ask for photos. In a bathing suit

Let my SO come here and learn what an A Hole I actually am?
Are you crazy?

Hahaha point taken. And yes please. Don't just disappear. I cannot stop thinking about Dancing Fire. I wish we could have said goodbye. I hope he knew how we all felt. Why is it after someone's death the outpouring of love happens. We need to let people know while they are here on earth how we feel. Life is too short.

My PS friends are every bit as beloved as the friends I met in other in-person venues. PS is part of my “real life”

Definitely and I just distinguish between online and offline to make a point. But of course you are right. The two mesh together and are one truth be told. There are PSers I have met in person and PSers I haven't but my friends here are my real life friends with whom I chat and share my innermost thoughts and feelings and with whom I feel safe and loved. That is everything. I am so lucky to have made lifelong friends here. Online and off and I am forever grateful to PS for my friendships. The bling is just an added bonus. I came for the bling but stayed for the people. 100% true.

Have you designated anyone...

Ahh thank you. I forgot about that thread.

We would miss you so Chrono.

He knows I’m on the forum but is a bit clueless haha. I just asked him “Do you know the name of the jewelry forum I’m on?” He said “Yes……um….(blank stare)…..” So no, he wouldn’t know to alert anyone.

Haha yes a typical guy right? The only reason Greg knows is he found PS for me when I was looking to reset in 2008. His fault 100%.

Wishing you good health and happiness too Nicky. If you weren't here PS wouldn't be the wonderful place it is....you add so much to PS.

If you see Francesca up there please take good care of her.
She loved watches.

@missy, yes, but we aren't supposed to name or link to other forums. Google pearl discussion forum, you'll find it.

Thanks. Haha another Jewelery obsession. My husband will be so pleased.

 

[Austina]

I saw DF’s post in the other thread too @missy, and wondered if whatever happened was sudden, that’s why he couldn’t let us know. Let’s hope whatever it was, he didn’t suffer.

Yes I agree.
Whatever it was I hope it was quick and painless.
I am so sad thinking about him.
I wish we could have let him know how much we cared about him.
I wish we could have said goodbye.
May he rest in peace.

 

[cflutist]

My hubby knows about PS and used to post here as Websailor. He has also helped DF off board with computer problems he had.
Old timers knew that DF and Websailor kidded around a lot.
