Holli is also active on Tumblr. I'll ping her.

I texted shrift last night, but I know there's a Holli M who shows up on FB who I think is also a Buffista of long past?

What is even happening?

Is anyone in touch with Holly (or is it Holli?)? I don't think I saw her on your list, Cindy, but not sure whether she uses a pseud I don't know. I actually didn't really cross paths/time with her here, but her name just popped into my head. I think we might be FB friends, but I know many others are "actual" friends. Just figured I'd mention it since my weird brain thought of it. Didn't see her name in the "seen by"s of smonster's post on FB.

I can't remember the spelling either, JenP. I might be connected with her on Twitter, or else I'm mixing her up with another Holly/i. After a while, some people that I don't see here take on their other platform identity for me. I think that might not be her real first name in either case.

Anyone?

javachik, shrift has since checked in here. I think Holli M is the one JenP means. Sorry for the X-post.

Correct, and Dana said she'd message her on Tumblr. I know the difference between them, but I didn't want to divulge shrift's name.

It's interesting reading about folks not knowing real names and pseuds. I'm purposely not FB friends with anyone who's not an offline, in-person friend, so am not connected with anyone there whose pseuds I wouldn't know. I have to keep it simple like that or I'd go bananas trying to keep it all straight.

I think I know of two board Cindys (?), and I am tweeps with the old TWOP Cindy but don't know of that's Topic!Cindy here and have always been too shy to ask. :P

I think I'm the only board Cindy (and I'm really sorry to any other Cindy if I'm not). I had the name without the "Topic" part for a long time. The Topic was to remind me not to live in Bureaucracy after I spent far too much time doing that.

EDIT: I forgot I knew any other name for shrift. Shrift is just shrift.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I contacted Anne. She's been suffering the same sort of ... disconnect for the past few years. Holli is also on FB as well as Tumblr--I'll message her there. She's not been active on b.org for years, though, but I'm sure she'd like to know.

I can't think of it as the collection agency, but the far-flung would appreciate news, I think, even if they don't choose to reconnect.

ETA: Betsy H-P has been away a long time. I know she lived in NC briefly, but I don't know if she and amyth ever met. And I have no idea whether she'd want to be contacted, but it's a thought, for any who knew her better than I did.

I'm the TWoP Cindy. You know me on Twitter with a McLastname. I think I'm the only board Cindy (and I'm really sorry to any other Cindy if I'm not). I had the name without the "Topic" part for a long time. The Topic was to remind me not to live in Bureacracy after I spent far too much time doing that.

Oh okay! Then who is CindyWrites?

Beverly, you're also on DWS right?? And thank you for contacting Anne. I miss her a lot.

ETA: I just noticed that there isn't an automatic indication when someone updates a post. Sorry!

Same person.
