To Midlo, Paddyblueeyes, BeachBaby and others

[TZ]

MUCH kudos to y'all for finding out and checking in with Parche...I was very worried but I had no idea what to do or how to do it..and because I was exhausted I fell asleep early and missed until this morning what happened.
Y'all are a fine example of caring and concern...I feel a bit guilty for not doing more.
But many thanks for checking up on a beloved friend of me and the lounge. If more people were like you guys the world would be a much better place..

[mcctatas]

[NightWatcher]

3. hope he's not too pissed that yall did an alive and well check

but Kudos to the crew that did this.

[Redstone]

4. I'm not familiar with the situation, but I concur that there are MANY DUers who are

caring and empathic and just damn good friends in general.

That's one of the reasons I like this place so much.

5. yeah, we've seen some impressively effective reactions to genuine real life crises over the years.

It surprises me how this place can go from stupid-ass fart humor to effective crisis management without blinking an eye. Lost kids, sick posters, out-of-work emergencies... Nice place.

[TZ]

7. yep.

I've been on the receiving end of the kindness here. Deep13 gave me $500 for my meds back when I had no insurance...The people here are awesome.

[Redstone]

8. Yes, indeed. When there's a problem, the silliness gets dropped, the sleeves get rolled up,

and the help / work gets done. Just like that.

Impressive, indeed.

6. My dear TZ!

This is one of the big reasons I love DU...

We have the resources and we use them, in time of trouble!

I just left him a voicemail...

He is dear to so many of us!

[applegrove]

9. Yup. A certain amount of good old fashioned love of mankind was shown last night. Glad he

is okay.

[Kali]

10. what happened?

[TZ]

11. Parche posted a goodbye DU thread

that had some disturbing overtones. So much so that these three and others went out of their way to have the police check in on Parche, whom is fine.

[PaddyBlueEyes]

14. Thanks to all of you

But Midlo, flaxbee and BeachBaby deserve all the credit. I simply offered my services as a law enforcement professional, and made a follow up call. Midlo and others caught the gist of the post, and initiated response. Nice Job..all of you guys. :grouphug:

[Kali]

16. oh wow, thanks for explaining

I have been really busy and not around a lot lately (not that I post all that much but...) Glad he is ok. Good folks abound.

[racaulk]

12. You're good eggs, all of you.

Thank you for going above and beyond to check in on one of our own.

:grouphug:

And Parche, if you're reading this, I'm glad to hear you're OK. :pals:

[TZ]

13. hey congrats on becomming a mod!

Of course Dr. Strange is drooling at the prospect..:hi:

[racaulk]

15. Hey, thanks TZ!

I'm still getting used to your new username...among others!

And I'm sure Dr. Strange is giddy with excitement at the opportunity to take his teasing to a whole new level! :hi:

[BeachBaby]

17. Paddy has restored my faith in the Irish again.

He almost makes me want to be nice to them. :hide:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

18. Ya know..You are in Jersey....Down the Shore

You are surrounded by us....

[BeachBaby]

19. Oh, Jesus.

Yes, I live in Little Ireland and Little Italy. Or as I call it, "The Double I Threat".

Just don't say "On March 17th, EVERYBODY IS IRISH!!!!" If you do, Paddy, so help me God, I'm kicking your ass. :P

:rofl: :hug: :hi:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

20. The way i see it..

Everyone should want to be Irish....every damn day.

[BeachBaby]

21. No, no, no.....

I'm a Polish Princess, and damned proud! Sheesh.

:P

[PaddyBlueEyes]

22. You bet your Dupa

as my Danish/Polish godmother would say.. :)

[BeachBaby]

23. Then you're good in my book, O Celtic One.

Thanks for your help last night. :hug:

[PaddyBlueEyes]

24. no problem...
