  • yes i always have wondered how things have turned out form them.
  • Sometimes I wonder about the more serious ones, and hope they get through it ok
  • Yes I wonder what happened!!!!!!
  • Yes... especially those who only open an account to ask one question. They have no idea how many wonderful, intelligent, caring, friendly people are on this site who would glady help them through any difficult times they are having. Those people just seem to sign on... ask one question... read the first couple answers they receive... then they are gone.
  • Yes I do Sweetcakes. It breaks my heart sometimes to see the heartbreak that some people are going through and I always wonder how things are for them even long after they have asked their querstion.
  • All the time. I wish people would post up dates so we know how things tuned out.
  • Yes very often. Particularly members that you have got to know and then just disappear.Sometimes that is quite worrying.
  • Great question Sweetcakes! I honestly think they owe it those people who have seriously pondered their problem and given them their best advice. They really should update us. I'm starting to blow off these "one-night stands".
  • Yes, I do. Especially the regulars. Sometimes I just don't feel close enough to a person to ask if everything is ok, but I really hope it is. Great question.
  • yes i do , regardless of my own problems, i do care enough to wonder and worry a little. because that who iam . and i hope things worked out better for them in the long run.
  • Yes - ofcourse I do. I wish they would just add a little note after it's over, saying how things went, and if any advice given had helped.
  • I sure do! I feel a sense of community here, and get emotionally invested in some of the peoples' situations. When people ask for help, we try to sincerely give it to them. So many people with different perspectives, experiences, and frames of reference are able to offer ideas that the one person asking may not have been able to think of him/herself. It would be cool to get a follow-up to see what advice did or didn't work, and what the ultimate outcome was.
  • I do. I take those questions seriously and I worry about others. I know it's probably not healthy to worry about people you don't even know, but I do care. That's my nature. And when I don't know how things turned out it weighs on my mind for quite a while. And even when the memory begins to fade, it still comes back to me months and even years later.
  • Some people are so busy that they no longer concern themselves with fellowmen. You guys are like reservoirs of strength. By reaching out to those around you, they can all feel the touch of your healing hands and sympathetic words. I know I have, Thank you.
  • I sure do. I remember one member who was heartbroken about deciding whether to have her beloved elderly dog euthanised. She did have the vet perform the procedure and sent us a follow-up - I, for one, was grateful for her taking the time to do that.
  • I do wonder about them. It's really good to know if they have more troubles or what happened.
