Michael Booth 7,364 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Has anyone heard from Jackson recently? She hasn't been on Nottstalgia since June 2014 and I'm concerned that she's ok after she suddenly stopped posting. I loved reading her posts as she was eloquent and always had something of interest to say. She is also a lovely lady and I do hope that she is well. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tompa 285 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Yes !!! what has happened to Jackson, I miss reading her posts, always seemed a very happy and lively sort of person. I think we all hope she is well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Don't forget that she very sadly lost her son about a couple of years ago, and was distraught. She was a great asset to this site, and is sadly missed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chulla 4,946 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Because of the above comments, I will contact her again to try and promote her interest again in Nottstalgia. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I wonder if she would consider coming out to see us? If you manage to speak to her please tell her I'd love to see her again. Such a kind-hearted person. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 And Melton Stilton is another long term absentee. Any ideas anyone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Exactly, but just a thought. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 That's very true, k but at the the same time it's nice that folks have a concern for people they have met, either face to face or online and had considerable friendly dialogue with. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,465 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's strange, because sometimes you almost forget that you haven't actually met most of the people in question. You just read and write with them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
loppylugs 8,429 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yes, we just form mental pictures of each other, but after a few posts you almost feel like you have met them. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I had a mental picture of FLY2...scared me to death. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Michael, I'm the epitome of an English Gentleman. .. So I've been told. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You just read and write with them. It's an intriguing thought - we know people on a different level through correspondence. Not sure if you were present K but Christine came out to meet us on at least one occasion when we met in the Elizabethan Bar in the Bell Inn. She is a lovely person - well met indeed.

BeestonMick 263 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 we just form mental pictures of each other, but after a few posts you almost feel like you have met them. To save anyone mis-mental picturing me, I'm 6'2, 11 stone, ripped to shreds, six, going on a seven pack with chestnut brown hair down to my shoulders (no dandruff) and, for what it's worth, a cute moustache.

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (#20), Jackson's a very lucky lady. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BeestonMick 263 Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Incidentally, on Stu's thoughts: "we know people on a different level through correspondence", this is true in many different bits and bobs of life. When I was dabbling with ham radio years ago, I was cajoled to attend a meeting at the Long Eaton Amateur Radio Society and, much against my better judgement, I went. I was prepared for the fact that many (all?) of these people, with whom I'd collaborated on several different projects for years but not physically met, weren't going to look like the mental picture I had of them. The thing that shocked me was the guy out of the lot of them that I really wanted to meet face to face looked exactly as I imagined. I was really disappointed when I asked him if he'd seen the Forest v Southampton result from the game that afternoon and he replied "No sorry, I don't follow sport". Proper put me off. Edit: Avatars on bulletin boards have a huge effect as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
banjo48 928 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 As most here know my wife and I currently travel full time down here in Oz, we are termed "Grey Nomads". I am a member of several bulletin boards with similar minded people, we have one private board with just a 100 members, and if possible catch up to meet with other members if in their area. We have been invited many times to stay on properties of some members we have we know through the web but have never actually met ! Currently staying on a 12 acre property now in NSW by private invite, we had never actually met till last Wednesday but conversed often for maybe 2-3 years ! The faces were not at all what we expected, but strangely enough we get on really well, we have done this maybe 8-10 times now and never been disappointed. Very similar to when I came to a Nottstalgia meetup a couple of years ago. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted January 22, 2016 Report Share Posted January 22, 2016 BeestonMick, when I lived in California, there were a group of us who got together on 2 metres, of course the mental picture was always there until I attended a monthly breakfast meet up with them...After that I gave up on what hams looked like...The mental picture never matched reality.
