There was a FReeper named "Jaysun" back in 2007 and early in 2008, who announced in February of this year that he had contracted some kind of cancer, and that the prognosis was NOT good. He received an outpouring of sympathy in that thread, from me also, who had "talked" to him in personal "FR mail" over some subject of other. His FR profile showed him posed with his new infant daughter. So it was ever so much more touching and hard to bear to hear and read him talking about not being long for this world. He made a big point of realistically assessing his chances for being around much longer, and I had to personally e mail him with words as positive as I could manage. I was thinking about him recently and went back to Feb. to find the private FR mail to me. I clicked on his name and it came up "The account has been banned or suspended". Does ANYONE know what happened to "Jaysun"?

PLease tell me that freepers are not actually sending money to anonymous users of this forum, on the basis of the tales of woe they spin, without making sure of what they are doing.
CUE MUSIC...
I’ve met Dasher in person several times. She is one of the finest and nicest people I’ve ever known. I could go into detail, and it would be true, but it would sound like a hagiography. :)

Glad to see you back, after six 1/2 years!! I hear that was a great party you through at Bush’s first Inauguration! (I was at the orange County, CA party, before I moved back to Florida.)
I’ve met Dasher. She is really sweet. :) We had a nice time.
Nope, not anonymous , he was part of our group, visited with on several ocasions over the period of years. Out of the blue he just scammed us.
I remember going on a music board because some woman was making up stories about knowing Jim Steinman. It wouldn’t have been a big deal to me, except this woman had gone onto my website, found a few words I had said, and had gone back to the music board claiming I was some woman who had backstabbed her years ago. The woman would have done all this when I was five years old. I only found out, because I was doinga search on my family name. I was angry at first, but became amused and felt sorry for the woman when I found out she thought about five other women were this one.
While we’re at it, what ever happened to MadIvan, our British FReeper FRiend?
Man, he was a hoot....
BTW..Hi, Connie....
Seems like I remember an opus stating that he could no longer handle the Brit bashing. He made a good point.
Yep, shame he left. Ivan was a good guy.
What happened to Tony Cavanaugh, another Brit FReeper?
I’ll be damned.
It is getting to be like old-timer’s week around here.
Did you here the Obama wants the Georgia National Guard called out to defend Atlanta against Russian aircraft < /sarc >
Hope you are fine.
Ping.
I know one person on this forum claiming military experience who is a fake. Isn't it illegal to make those claims?
I'm not sure what the laws are. It is, at least, bad form. Some claims will get you put in jail.
