If you were gone tomorrow - dead, disappeared, up and left - who do you think would miss you? In RL? Here?

RL : My wife.
My parents/immediate family/siblings.
My mustela furota.
A few of my friends.
Possibly my boss.
A few posters here.
A few of my audience on my radio show, but not very many of them.
My wife's cats.

In that order, i'm pretty sure. 'cept i'm iffy on the "cats" thing.

I'm not sure how'd miss me. Seeing as I am a pimp, prolly me hoes will miss me.Other than that I'm not too sure. I am a lil suspicious of why you want to know this.

As for the RL componant, I think that I am going to have to go with the same standard answer that everyone else provides.

Eh no one will miss me. My body will be dumped in a landfill and the landfill owner who's been lonely for 10 years will use my body for his sick sick pleasure. "tis the way to go out! :D

Tis pretty sick from someone who considered being a father. I approve.

If anyone does miss me, I'll come back as a ghost and haunt them for the rest of their lives!

My life is to be celebrated as the glorious pinnacle of the human species...and I sure as hell don't want any overly sentimental memories to get in the way of the construction of the monument to be made in my honor. :D

i s'pose my family and friends would
but then there are the times i get in a mood so bad i convince myself they wouldnt.
i hope lots of people miss me. then i would know the truth

My friends(about 40 I guess)
My parents and brother, maybe some aunts, uncles and cousins as well...

You would, in both cases. You wouldn't know it immediately, you wouldn't even think it's possible. You might even be thinking right now, "Who the hell is this guy? How can I miss someone I barely remember exists, if at all?"

But you would.

At first it would just be a pang, a sense of longing. It might be at night, you'll shoot upright from your sleep and not know why. Or find yourself crying for what seems like no reason over lunch.

For some reason you'd be compelled to look here, to find what seems suddenly missing from your soul.

But you wouldn't find it.

"Something is missing, something not right," you'd think to yourself. You'd click through thread after thread, your empty heart finding no solice.

"This isn't right, there is a hole, something that isn't here that I can't put my finger on, that I can't name." And then, somewhere in the depths of your wounded heart, you'll know what it is...

You would all miss me.

Some of you realize this but most of you dont; You are all addicted to me.
Goofball Withdrawal can be fatal. Some of you may still be skeptical. You believe that you can go cold turkey whenever you want. Sadly, denial is one of the first signs of an addiction. You poor bastards. :p

Goofball Withdrawal can be fatal.
I quit golfing on years ago. I'm still standing.

Imagine my frustration at now knowing I have an addiction to the very thing that occasionally vexes me, and that will one day attempt global domination.

WHY MUST YOU MOCK ME, CLOWN?

I quit golfing on years ago. I'm still standing.Best thing is not to start in the first place... :p

My mom, my aunt, my children, my husband, my best friend Nat and that's about it. Oh and my in-laws.

On here? I'm pretty sure Grave n idle would miss me;Carnivorous Lickers,Legless pirates and Eutrusca.

There are way too many people for me to list that I would miss if they died. So please, no one go anywhere!

in real live ?
my wife
her family (i don´t think my family will miss me)
some friends

here ?
don´t know

In real life, any of my family members until about my 4th cousins because my family is very tight nit and my best friend Kristina.

In here, that would be nobody.

RL-Family, friends
Here-I already misss me.

IRL: Everybody. Without me, the Multiverse would descend into chaos and anarchy and rapidly self-destruct. Nothing would be assured; the laws of physics would dissolve like snow in a furnace. Nuclear missiles would turn into bowls of petunias, things would fall up instead of down, the sun would turn pink, and so on.

INS: You know you all would :p

Boyfriend, mother, my two closest friends, possibly my boyfriend's immeadiate family. My extended family would probably claim to miss me, but there is absolutely no reason why they should, since they very rarely see me anyway and I have little to nothing in common with any of them.

Here - no one in particular, I suspect.

Yeah-I would miss you.

Who would miss me. Let's see.

RL:
-my dog
-my family
-my SO and their family
-various friends/acquaintances (you never know)
-some of my coworkers/clients
-a few of my classmates

Online:
I've often wondered if I died, who would tell my online friends? I guess they would assume I just stopped talking to them/hanging out on that forum.

In real life-

my husband, my children, my best friend, her kids, and her husband would probably be lost without me.

my inlaws, my extended family, my students, and friends from homeschool groups would miss me.

the people at church would be sad if I were gone, but would probably notice things weren't running as smooth before they figured out why, then they would go through a panic stage not knowing what to do with all the stuff I do, then they would figure it out, and then just kinda talk about me at picnics "yeah, I don't like how that runs anymore".... "yeah, Smunkee did it better"...."who is Smunkee?"..."oh, she was before your time"......"oh, pass the corn"

my neighbors would probably burn down the neighborhood, or lose their children in tragic accidents without me around to call the cops on them.

the cops would miss getting to talk to me.....I am nice to them.

On here-

I know there are a few people who would actually worry about me if I dissappeared, and be pretty upset if I died, but not many, most of you would do the church picnic type of conversation. ;)

No one who could officialy acknowledge my death.

Just kidding.

Who would miss me? Probably Larry Bell from Bell's Brewery. I've probably put two of his kids through college.

I guess noone noticed much when I disappeared for 18 months, and I guess they wouldn't again. I am teh stealthy!

amy
parents
grandma

thats about it.

Real life - my girlfriend, who this morning I persuaded to join NS. So I guess she'd miss me on here too. Some friends, I reckon. I could probably guess who it would affect most and least. My family would, I know that. It never used to bother me that they would, but it does now.

On NS? I doubt anyone would miss me. Maybe some people would notice that I'd not posted for a while, but that's as far as it goes.

in real life, my husband, son, brothers and sisters, and inlaws would miss me quite a bit

here? i dont think anyone has noticed that i exist, why would they care that i was gone?

I noticed you exist! I'd miss you.

IRL: The owner of the liquor store around the corner from me. He's gotten a lot of business out of me for the past couple of weeks. I think I basically bought him a yacht.

NS: Probably just the other two members of the UN's "Unholy Trinity" and a small handful of others. *shrug*

and you too PM....I'd miss you lots!

Spin-off to the "Who would you miss"-Thread... only with a RL component.

If you were gone tomorrow - dead, disappeared, up and left - who do you think would miss you? In RL? Here?

Real Life:-
The mammy and daddy
the brother and sister
5 of the 6 nieces and nephews (6th is too young, although she amusingly mispronounced my name as "Carrot" today)
The ex-girlfriend/housemate/still (sadly for my peace of mind and sense of worth, but not sadly at all the way she lights up my night when she gets home) love of my life
the oldest friend
the cousin/2nd oldest friend
the oldest adulthood friend
the oldest adulthood friends partner in crime
the lesbian best workmate, although i'm unsure whether her (20 years older, only recently turned to the lettuce licker side, extremely possessive and rather northern) girlfriend would miss me at all
the irish IT guy
the guy who started work with us in January, good lad
about two other people in the same room as me in work (out of 14, not a good ratio)
the guy in the other building in work who greets me daily with "Pen-Y-Graigwen, how is every little thing?" to which i daily respond "well, ageing moustachioed Social Worker Rob, every little thing, as you ask, she does is...magic" and he comes back with "you know, Pen-Y-Graigwen, that sounds like the cue for a song" and we both smile cheesily and i go have a cigarette
the "used to be a tad weasel faced and scrawny but now bulking up quite considerably (possibly due to steroid useage)" smoking buddy, under the fire escape, main building, outside of the regulated hours. Bit of a geezer, is ole Martin. Has the archtypal valleys face, but we can't hold that against him.
the multiple of works colleagues, clients and business people who i deal with regularly over the phone and who know my first name, my state of mind and my cheeky banter
the counter staff at the local Barclays, who at least three of have seen me four times a week since 1999 and know me as intimately as any people who deal with you on a professional manner can (and, to be honest, they are a bunch of good lasses)
The elderly woman at the shop opposite work whom i greet daily when i purchase my pack of chewing gum (Wrigleys Blue Extra) with endearments and statements of her undying sex appeal.
The cat.
Possibly the granny, if she ever emerged from her "acquiring a boyfriend at 80, thus geriatric sex induced" senility. Never particularly liked her though.

Aside from that, probably very few people. Which is a bit scary and shows how little positive impact i've had on "RL" in 34 years.

On here? Here specifically? No one. I've had about five different accounts and keep forgetting the password, hence am never around long enough to forge any meaningful relationships. This time though i've used the password i use for every single thing, that no one ever guesses. So maybe, one day, when i'm on the 20,000 post mark, you might get a different answer.
On the internet as a whole? Only keep in any kind of touch with two of the people i've acquired off here in the past, one infrequently, nice girl, would miss me, the other daily, absolutely fucking barking, cynical, hateful and often quite contemptous of my views, tastes and opinions, but has a strange need to keep in touch with me...so i think he'd miss me. The mentalist.

If you were gone tomorrow - dead, disappeared, up and left - who do you think would miss you? In RL? Here?
In RL, my family would, hopefully. Perhaps a few friends and fellow veterans.

On here? Perhaps a few: Smunkeeville, PM, perhaps a few others.

The thing about this is, those left behind when someone dies still have to continue their lives, with all of the daily minutia continuing as if nothing has happened. No matter how deeply they grieve, someone still has to fix meals, pay bills, go to work, clean the house, etc.

Everybody in the known Universe would miss me ... they just don't realise it right now.

Oh ... and I suppose my kids would wonder where I went.

I noticed you exist! I'd miss you.
thank you

thank you

No thanks needed- You've been interested and comented on my threads/posts in the past, I liked you advice/opinions- so yeah, based on that,I'd miss ya. Some times the two cents does matter.

my aunt would miss me and so would my parents and my nieces and nephews...

and you too PM....I'd miss you lots!
thank you

as for PM, hes such a fixture here that if he went we would all sense a change in the NS space/time continuum

at least YOU dont have to wonder, peech. there was so much whining while you were gone that the mods must have contacted you and begged you to return just so it would stop!

"wheres peech? i miss peech. when is peech coming back?"

I felt like a newb when I came back....so many new members. They come in droves!

No just truth.

thats what "they" say.

Is that actually accurate? And what does it go by? Your nation or your IP#?

and perhaps a hose...

Yeah, that might help, too. :p

I dont know. I think your IP because it shows I'm on when I'm not logged into my nation. But it also shows I'm online a long time even after I've closed the window. So I could really be offline even when it shows. I dont know how long it takes to automatically sign you off. I dont even see a log out button anywhere.

and peech, i missed you a lot when you were gone from these forums for those months. i was remembering a thread i made once entitled 'should i kill myself?', and the really warm and kind responces i recieved from yourself and oksana (i miss her too :()... tis burned on my memory, that (was talking about this to amy the other day... why i have such an affinity or connection to this place... unfortunatley it made her cry so maybe i shouldn't be mentioning it again :headbang: *shuts up* )

Well you are someone I want to be around for a looooooong time. Not just here but in real life too. I'm here anytime you need a friend PM. *Bear Hugs PM*

Because you're Czardas. :p
Someone needed to give a smartass answer like that. And who more qualified than Cluich. :rolleyes:

Hey, I've already told you that it was fine - I was just emotional - and I never want you to feel that you have to sugarcoat what you say around me. It'd be worse to know you felt you couldn't talk openly with me.

*hugs*

I don't think I really have to say anything to reaffirm what you said about me missing you. You know how the thought of life without you just.. tears me apart.

I would say more about your list of people who'd miss you, but I don't want to stick my foot in anything... One thing though - you've lost contact with a fair few friends. Do you really think they don't miss you? Do you really think they wouldn't regret losing contact if anything happened to you? Of course it might not compare to how me or your parents would miss you, but it still counts. Friends you had all through your school life, or at college, or at uni or whatever - they were significant times for all people involved and I can't believe that they wouldn't care or miss you at all.

WHY MUST YOU MOCK ME, CLOWN?

Because I can. :)

My IMMEDIATE Family
My "Girlfriend"

and thats probably it

Everywhere?

Only the people who were cheated out of the chance to shoot me.

well the first thing that springs to mind is that i don't miss them, but that's not quite true because its only some i don't miss as it stands.
i don't know. i guess there's something wrong with me in that department - in the last two years of school 3 people i knew (two of them i could call friends) died (the friends both in car crashes as it so happens)... i went to their funerals and felt nothing. nothing at all. i still feel guilty for that.
i suppose thats what i'm going on, but i just don't know. i guess they might miss me, but again i just don't know *shrugs*

On NS? I sincerely doubt it. Is there one poster who I have not disagreed with yet?

In the real world (yes people, we all have to go there occasionally:eek: ), my extended family, extended social group and the odd teacher.

There's nothing wrong with you.
The fact you feel guilt for feeling nothing shows you do care, and is feeling something, if undirectly. And that numbness/lack of emotion is fairly common in situations like this.
I suppose you can't really know (and neither can I). Plus, males friends are probably gonna be less likely to say anything if they do miss you. I'm just really throwing the questions out there *hugs*

Tis pretty sick from someone who considered being a father. I approve.
Seconded!

i s'pose my family and friends would
but then there are the times i get in a mood so bad i convince myself they wouldnt.
i hope lots of people miss me. then i would know the truth
I don't think this would qualify as a case where "the truth will set you free".
Quite the opposite, it would appear.
