If I died today,

[Anastasia13]

Would anyone here say or think anything about me? If so, what would it be?

I would say that I wanted to talk to you but the only time I saw you on MSN was when I was going to bed.

I am sure someone would say something. Whenever a Phatmasser that has posted enough to be recongizable, when I was new if you posted over a few 100 times it was more then enough, I don't know what number it would be now that it is much bigger, people would wonder what was wrong if you were gone for long. People would ask where you were and they would start PMing people you were known to talk to on the Phourm asking if they knew what was up. Somone would notice, what would they say? I am not sure.

Though, I like Pablo Neruda.

Please don't say things like this...you'll scare people.

[prose]

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about if I died in childbirth...

Would anyone even notice?? Only 2 people have even ever PM'd me. So maybe I am just a faceless member of the PM phamily...

I think I would notice if you were gone. I would probably post something like: prayers

hmmmm...

I don't tend to say much, but I'd be very sad.

I'd notice. Like I said, have your husband call a Phatmasser when it happens and the news can be posted and we can all pray. It's common practice here for labors, really.

The title of this thread reminds me of the song Elias by Dispatch...


If you died would I get word that you're gone
Or would I hear it in passing conversation
Would I stop short and fall to the ground
Distance is short when your hand carries what your eye found


I wike dat song

[Aloysius]

how would we know you died? someone I'm sure would notice you gone from phatmass, but I don't know how we'd know you were dead unless someone informed us.

I think I'm going to include in my will a "phatmass phinal post" to be posted by someone after I die

I think the same thing... but not the childbirth part...

and I'll just go ahead and be that annoying person..."Haven't you had that baby YET???"

hehe.... I've told HSdad that he's to post... but I think if I died, he'd probably forget. Then I thought, what if the whole HSfam was killed? Then I realize that I probably have bigger issues than informing the pham...

[avemaria40]

L&T, i would prob miss ur intelligence in debate and ur really sweet.

[Extra ecclesiam nulla salus]

Possibly. But only possibly.

I've told my sister that if I were to die that I want her to post on Phatmass about it, and I've given her my user name and password for that purpose. But don't worry -- so far every post under my user name has been all me.

i thought about this question also -
a great song - Joy Elecrtric "5 stars for failure"



also Starflyer 59 "softness goodness"

[Lounge Daddy]

but Phatmass - But Phatmass specifically?
I did tell my wife to please post info, in the case of my untimely passing
You guys and gals are my extended friend and fam – this is important

This thought occurred to me as I read an article a few months ago at Wired.com about “kill switch” devises that post “I am dead” messengers at registered blogs and messenger boards if the owner doesn’t log in w/in 7 days

ill try to find the article

[Maester Supremo]

To be perfectly honest Truth and Light, I wouldn't think much of it. I'd probably go "that's sad", knock off work around 5, and get seriously drunked. In one of my more emotional drunken psychotic episodes, the one's where I actually think I like people, I might shed a tear, but 99% of that tear you could put down to the alcohol. I'd probably wake up the next morning and not remember a thing. Then I'd come on here and be like "who's Ruth and Might?", but that wouldn't happen because you would be too dead to post your own death notice, so chances are I would never know.

Blessings.
