Does anyone know about this jelly? (see details)

Asked by smudges (10725points) October 12th, 2022

Have to ask this delicately because we aren’t supposed to use members’ names. This jelly had a S.O. who was also a member and he passed away about 1.5 years ago. I’ve written notes to her but have gotten no response. She was last here on August 5th of this year and I’m concerned. Her name has two parts to it and the first part is also a famous Broadway musical. Do you have any information?

I know who you’re talking about, but was never close to her & don’t have any recent info.

Well, her profile is still active, and I do see her latest visit noted as August 5th. I don’t know any more than that. Some people here do have Facebook contact with other jellies, but I’m not one of them, and I don’t know if she is.

I do share your concern, and it’s good of you to ask. I was thinking about messaging her just today, but it seems like she’s not responding. I’ll write anyway.

I’m friends with her on FB, where she is active, and seems to be doing OK.

Yes, I am friends with her on FB and she posts occasionally there. She seems to be more comfortable in her life, has had to move apartments and is doing ok although still sad, of course.

I’m sure it would make her day to know that she was being thought about.

Hello everyone! It is very nice to be thought of. It has been kind of hard to be here seeing as Jeff and I were always on together. But I am back now. Coming to you from a new apartment, yes. I hate it because it is an apartment complex. But as that goes, it’s pretty decent. And the apartment itself is pretty good.
I am happy as hell that my new home search is over. That was such a nightmare.
I am volunteering at a thrift store, where all proceeds go to the community. I really love it there.
Soon I will also be volunteering at a Victorian mansion that does tours. it is gigantic and so beautiful.
I do still miss Jeff terribly. I still cry just about every day. I miss my old home a lot too. It has now officially been turned into an AirBnB. I have seen the pictures. It’s kinda hard to see.
I have thought about you all often. I want to say again how much I appreciate you all, and everything you did to help me through the past year and a half. Thank you for the messages and for caring.

I’m glad to hear you are settled into a new home.

Hi there lady! I’m so glad that things are going well for you. I was worried that things had gotten worse, so thank you for posting. I live in an apartment complex, too, but at least it doesn’t really look like one…it’s not a huge square building. I’d love to live in a house, but I don’t have the finances, and I’m a fraidy cat when it comes to living alone in a house.

You sound so good! I know it’s still not easy without Jeff and I won’t write any platitudes. I’m sorry he’s gone.

I can rest easy now that I know you’re ok. Don’t feel like you have to come back to post unless you feel like it. {{hugs}}

anniereborn's avatar

@smudges Thank you for this post. And thank you for your kindness. You are so very sweet. Jeff and I lived in the back half of a duplex. It felt like it’s own house. I miss that a lot.
But yeh, I am moving forward with him in my heart always.

@anniereborn Maybe you should be anniereborn again!

raum's avatar

So nice to hear from you! Though totally understand that it can be hard to come back. We’re here when you’re ready. (Hopefully soon! But no pressure!)

anniereborn's avatar

Thank you again everyone. I have missed this place. I am back and lurking around :D

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

I love the word “lurk”. I like the way it feels to say it out loud. There’s the opening /L/ sound that feels so hopeful as my tongue presses behind my teeth, and then it completely switches into the /er/ sound that seems so silly. Finally, it has that definite ending /k/. There’s no doubt that word is done. I just want to repeat it over and over. Maybe sing it. “Lurk. Lurk. Lurk.”

Hawaii_Jake's avatar

@anniereborn Thanks for asking. I’m a little excited right now. I have tomorrow off, because my new boyfriend and I are flying to the Big Island. I’m counting the minutes before I can go home.

smudges's avatar

^^ ooooh that’s exciting! Have a blast!

lurch is another good word, almost as good as lurk. love the “ur”

Strauss's avatar

^^So I’ll just lurk around until I see something to make me lurch!
