JOHNKLEEB!! WHERE ARE YOU!?!?!

[Syn_Dem]

John...if you get this call your mother A.S.A.P. She just IM'ed me from your sn and is worried sick. Apparently you're four hours late or something...but please John, if you get this call your mom and tell her you're okay.

[Syn_Dem]

1. kick

[flamingyouth]

2. I've been told I'm over protective, so

BIG...

:kick:

[madfloridian]

3. Did he go to DC?

Thought he was going.

A :kick: for JohnKleeb's mom.

I raised a bunch of them, and I always worried.

[Darranar]

5. Yes, he was there.

I wasn't there, but I'm pretty sure he was.

[FDRrocks]

7. yes he did.

[flamingyouth]

4. kick

:kick:

[MuseRider]

6. I just talked to his mom

still missing Zach? Does anyone know how to get ahold of Zach?

[flamingyouth]

8. kick

:kick:

[Darranar]

9. What's his DU username?

[TSIAS]

10. Youngred

[Darranar]

11. Thanks.

[MuseRider]

Youngred is Zach?

[MuseRider]

12. Youngred is Zach?

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Yes.

[Syn_Dem]

14. Thats surprising

I thought that Zack was just a local friend...not a DU'er.

[FDRrocks]

15. When was the last time

anyone saw him in DC? I was told he never showed up to take the subway home... :(:(:(:(:(

[MuseRider]

16. Didn't make the subway

I IMd Zach and he is not online. Does anyone have any suggestions?

[FDRrocks]

17. did you give his mom Zachs SN????

she asked me for it!

[MuseRider]

20. I sent it to her, she is offline right now

perhaps his brother will get it.

[flamingyouth]

18. He's under 18

so can anyone call the cops and tell them he is late and didn't come home? I'm not sure how late a minor has to be.

I am hoping our John is okay. I'm very worried about our little precious one. This is scary.

[MuseRider]

21. He is just

16. I would have been hysterical if this was one of mine. I think his dad is there looking for him. He is such a good kid and awfully resourceful but still. I hope we hear something soon.

[flamingyouth]

29. I am almost hysterical myself

and he's not my kid.

I have this weird deja vu feeling about a friend of mine who got waylaid during a snowstorm back in high school. She was OK but her family, her friends and my family all about had a heart attack over it.

I just keep thinking that John is OK, some weird thing has happened and all is well.

Must keep telling self: All is well...

[MuseRider]

30. Me too.

They are both smart and resourceful but they DO know how to use a phone, they can tell time and they did not make the meeting point. That is what scares me.

[flamingyouth]

31. And they have cell phones

Which were not an option back in the '80s when my friend got stranded.

Oh, I'm stressed about this.

[MuseRider]

32. Damn, that is NOT good news.

OK, OK I am not going to panic. He kinda feels like one of my own kids only a little younger.

[flamingyouth]

34. We must think positive thoughts

I'm all the way in Seattle. We just all must think positively - something has happened, there's been a sun spot, all of their cell phone batteries have faded, all must be well.

We really must think positively (while fretting and completely freaking out, as I am doing, that is.)

[MuseRider]

55. You are right

I had forgotten about the sun spots. I am a little closer, Kansas HA! Not much help from here but I will REMAIN calm, maybe they got lost on the subway system. We do not have that here so I ALWAYS get lost on the subway.

[Lizz612]

53. I don't even know him, just read his stuff all the time.

But this has me freaked, I'm sure their just off having fun, but...
just but...

JohnKleeb: Betcha ya didn't know this you could freak out this many people so quickly, just think what would happen if you got sick!!!

[TSIAS]

35. You never know with cell phones

Unless your careful and charge them before going, the battery can always go. Certain areas get minimal/no reception.

[TSIAS]

22. I don't know if Zack has a cell phone

There's a few people I could enquire with that possibly might have it.

[MuseRider]

23. PLEASE

We are wo worried.

[TSIAS]

24. I put out a few IM's

I have no clue if anybody will know his number. :shrug:

[MuseRider]

25. Thanks

I will let his mom know what is going on

50. Please...oh please answer John.

[blm]

51. Maybe the mods can pin this at the top

so ANY DUer who saw them at the March sees this.

[TSIAS]

56. If you'd like, I can try to email an admin

Only they can pin threads.

--Taylor

[flamingyouth]

57. kick that idea

[TSIAS]

59. I sent Admins an email

Just have to wait for a response.

[LittleApple81]

52. kick n/t

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

54. oh no

I hope that he's ok...

I don't know what to do.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

58. My GUESS and HOPE is that he met up with

some other teens who invited him to a party or to go out to eat or something, and it never occurred to him that he ought to notify the folks at home.

But I'll be worried, too, until we hear something definite.

:scared:

[burrowowl]

62. Hopefully

this is what happened and he is going to be as embrassed as hell.
When he gets back do a JK is back post.
Us old foggies can chew him out, but let him know all will be forgiven and to keep posting.

[MuseRider]

65. That is what I was thinking

first a bunch of hugs the we can give him the parent trip! Poor kid.

[mlawson]

60. He and his friend are probably sitting at Kramerbooks,

having coffee, talking, and peoplewatching. They have probably forgotten all about the time, with the excitement over the march.

Besides, the guys are probably street smart -- they are okay.

[TSIAS]

61. kick (nt)

[cally]

63. We're there any arrests at the DC march

I haven't heard of any. Has anyone else?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

64. Zack has been seen.

His roomie says he is on his way over...

But that doesn't answer where Kleeb is?

[FDRrocks]

66. I wonder if he was supposed to go with John to the subway...

to meet his dad? Or if John walked there solo, that would just compound my anxiety.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

68. I think Zack was supposed to go with him.

But yeah... I'm worried.

[Darranar]

69. Can you ask where John was/is?

Would this person (whoever it is you're in contact with) know, or have the means to find out?

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

75. I don't think he'd have the knowledge of that..

And the guy put up an away message and said Zack was heading toward his place.

[Darranar]

77. Okay...

thanks for the information.

Well, at least we know that Zack's okay.

[UrbScotty]

67. KLEEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! America needs you!

We need you now!

Please! Dear God, don't let it be!

[Lizz612]

70. So how do you think he'll feel

about so many people freaking out over him losing track of time? (Stay optimistic, think positive...)
Embarased, shocked, or honored, or will it go to his head?
I'd be shocked. I'm still a little shocked when my parent worry about me being out till 2 with people they know. If a whole board was worried, jeez!

[UrbScotty]

73. Interesting thought.

It would be weird, indeed.

[leftist_rebel1569]

84. Knowing John a little,

he'd probably be shocked and a little bit honored. Some of it will go to his head, but not too much...he's a good kid. I'd personally be shocked more than a guy tied to a golden poll thirty feet off the ground during a lightning storm, but that's me.

[MuseRider]

71. Kick n/t

[LittleApple81]

76. Hello MuseRider. I am worried about John too. I hope it is that

he just got distracted. Kids at that age don't think their parents worry.

[MuseRider]

78. HI!

I am worried about him. I just keep telling myself he is smart and a good guy so he probably just got lost or lost track of time. Yes, my kids would always look at me funny when I told them I was worried.

[Lizz612]

79. Damn straight we don't!!

I think I'm all independent, then I come home and Dad is up watching the Late Show waiting for me. Then he wanders off to bed, obviously very sleepy, that puts me in my place.
JOHN!!!!
Damn it boy, I wanted to meet you!
I got there too late to meet everyone, and let me tell you I really wanted to meet that JohnKleeb guy!
For some reason I thought he would look like Kucinich, now why would I think that? :eyes:

[MuseRider]

80. He will be back pretty soon.

So you are another of our wonderful youth? Welcome. It is good to have you all here. PS The parent thing really never stops. When my oldest drives off to go back to school from visiting I still make him call me and tell me he is OK when he arrives. It is only a little over an hour away. He is good to do it.

[Lizz612]

87. Ha, Youth, yes; New to this hardly!

I've been reading DU since a few weeks after its conception. The woman known to all as Auntie Pinko is a freind of my mother. Auntie sent it to Mom, Mom sent it to me. My post count is misleading, I'm just quiet.
I was at the march, but due to curcumstances beyond my control, I was unable to meet any DUers. I really wanted to meet JohnKleeb, obviously he posts more than I could ever come up with and he's only a tad younger than me, so I really wanted to meet the guy!
JOHN!! Where are you boy??

92. If there are a pair of dudes that can take care of themselves

I'd put money on it being the combo of John and Zach.

Still, I will make sure to send some good vibes and hope they both show up soon, so we can all stop worrying.

-CollegeDude
Professional worrier

95. Whoever got the initial information

Did the parent indicate they would let you or all the rest of us worrying when he got home. If John got home late, maybe his parents won't let him log on to DU.

99. Whew! Thank God!

Where was he? What was he doing?

JOHNKLEEB, you have a lot of 'splainin' to do!

[MuseRider]

101. Thank goodness!

JOHN! I hope you had a good time!

[Lizz612]

105. Yeah!!

He better have one hell of a story!
Or at least tell it like its a great story.

[flamingyouth]

106. I hope so too!

If he had my parents, he'd never have another good time until he was 18! Let's hope his are more understanding! :-)

[TSIAS]

100. Great! Thanks for the info

102. Great

Thanks for sharing the info.

[flamingyouth]

103. Thank you...

Sweet relief...

[burrowowl]

104. GREAT!

What was he up to?
I remember telling my parents that I was late because I was studying at the University library and forgot the time. And my Dad said: Well then, when you are protesting the war (Vietnam), don't get your picture on the late night news.
I told the truth after that.

YOU ARE GROUNDED!

[madfloridian]

97. How far from DC does John live?

Does anyone know?

[burrowowl]

107. Make him

read the thread and he will call next time.

[Pale Blue Dot]

108. John - You should bookmark this thread

Never forget the number of total strangers that you have made this much of an impression on. I hope it is obvious how loved you are and how much of a part of this community you are.

Now GO TO BED!

[Andy_Stephenson]

111. He is Grounded!

scare me half to death like that!

[LittleApple81]

109. I am glad he was found. n/t

[MuseRider]

113. JOHN KLEEB!

I am so glad you are OK. ((((((HUGS)))))) Now young man, listen to your parents, I'm sure they are going to take care of this. Still, welcome home, we worried so.

[Cheswick2.0]

114. John I have a few more grey hairs tonight

I was worried about you. I am glad you are okay and Zack too, even though he was not missing. I would hate to see anything happen to any of our young-uns.

[blm]

115. Same here. I'll be hennaing tomorrow.

JohnKleeb...why, I oughtta......

....put a leash on you!

[greatauntoftriplets]

116. JohnKleeb,

smack!

[burrowowl]

117. Rough

being drummed by so many old foggies.
John, accept your punishmewnt like a man.
Do a post to tell us what you were up to.
Inquiring minds want to know and communicate with their youth again.
Was it just a plain old interesting discussion? Feeling grown up?

[izzie]

118. One week in your room!!!!!

and no TV or phone.

[charlie]

119. Hey Mom!

If you're looking in --

You raised a good kid right. If I were 16, my online time would likely be spent on Quake deathmatches, sneaking visits to skin sites, geeking out at Slashdot, and the like. John's here worrying about the future of the country with us political cranks. Good on him, good on you.

Don't be hard on him when he gets home, please? :)

[JohnKleeb]

120. Christ guys I am home

I forgot to call basically and I feel like shit. I feel so dumb.

[MuseRider]

121. Why I outta..............

I AM SO HAPPY! We were all so worried. Don't feel too bad, look at all the love and feel really good OK?

[charlie]

122. Busted!

Heh. Really glad you're okay, chief.

[Pale Blue Dot]

123. Oh, so the prodigal son decides to come home

:spank:

You have learned a valuable lesson: Your actions have consequences for many. Glad you're safe.

[JasonBerry]

124. Do you have a middle name we can call you?

So, now that you had us all beside ourselves --- what's your middle name? We can say it all together -- real fast -- and tell you what we REALLY think! Glad you're home. Kleeb, Kleeb, Kleeb, Kleeb, Kleeb........

[UrbScotty]

128. I heard it's Howard.

As in, the first name of Governor Longneck and the surname of Australia's Bush-buddy PM.

[leftist_rebel1569]

132. It IS Howard

You heard it here (confirmed) first. :)

[cosmicdot]

126. betcha had a great day

I knew you'd show up ... you're a metro DCer ...

[JanMichael]

127. I tried to avoid commenting on this thread...

...

But I can't help myself. I figured that there was just a communication breakdown and that this thread would be embarrassing for you.

Don't feel "dumb". You should be commended for getting off your ass and going to the protest!

[Lizz612]

129. Damn it! I wanted to meet you!

I didn't get into DC till Noon, WAAAAY too late.
Glad your fine, this all is so funny now!

Just glad you're okay.

The only thing that matters is you're back..no harm done. :)

133. >WHEW<

I got up at 3:30 to check & see if our kid came home. John, I hope you know you have more parents than the ones who live in your house!
And I hope YOUR real parents know how much we care about you. I can't wait to hear your stories. Love, P

[Padraig18]

134. May I spank him?

Please? }( :evilgrin:

Glad you're home safely, JK.

I can't wait to read your story of the day.

Glad you're back. Forgetting to call happens to us all, JK.
