Bubblers I Miss - Where Are They Now?

I was thinking today about some of my Bubblews friends that haven't joined us here, and wondered if any of you have come across them on any other sites.
MaryGoRound - Mary is a senior lady, very intelligent and she has lived such an interesting life. She has a wicked sense of humour. I've been hoping to see her here, but no luck so far.
SteveBoddey - he's such fun even though he suffers from depression. He's given me (and anyone else who read his posts on the subject) quite an insight into this illness. It doesn't stop him from writing poems and telling jokes.
NatureLover - Her posts from the beautiful deck of her home make you feel that you are there with her, and her photos are gorgeous.
Ged62 - This is one funny guy, he used to make me laugh out loud. He abandoned Bubblews some time ago, but I think the site he went to is defunct as well now.
And what about BettyB, mshomeec, RubyHawk, HazelVee, Marymarg, MaryB, Waterlily, Goldwingtom, RoseThePlanner, Upnaway? Anybody seen anything of them lately?
If you do come across any of these, please ask them to come and join us here. I miss them all.
Photo is my own.

I have been talking to Steve and Karen Boddey and to marymarg. I am trying to get them to come on over. I will tell Steve you are looking for him and marymarg will be here after the new year too much going on right now. Waterlily won't I don't think, she felt too burned by the B. I will talk to her again. I see her on Facebook and Twitter.

@BelleStarr Oh that's great Isabelle, it would be lovely if they were all to come here. I haven't heard anything about Waterlily for about a year, at least she is alright.

@jaboUK I think I connected with here on tsu earlier in the year, but I've not done anything on there for at least four months, so I've lost track of everyone. I've seen some folks on blogjob and one came this way already although I never knew her on bubblews, but she was there.
I posted on my profile on blogjob about mylot, so any that may mosey over to my blogs there would see it. I've also mentioned it on a few people's pages, like nanosays and a few others. She's here, but not very active yet.

I've looked in Persona Paper to see if I could find Naturelover or Rubyhawk but I couldn't figure out a way to search that site by member name. I miss Cyberrat and KitchenKazen too.
I tried my best to hint about Mylot when bubs was still up but I guess a lot of people either didn't get it or weren't interested, bummer really.

I looked for them but there is no way to search by member name @jaboUK
Maybe if I'm not having that much fun here .... as if that'll happen .... I'll go back to PP and write about Mylot. Have you been to that site? Their rules are much stricter than either Gather or Bubblews were, a lot of your writing skills are well suited for that particular forum.

I am surprised at some who didn't come here yet. I thought Waterlily left a long time ago. Hmmm... Anyway, I haven't seen any of them and there are others I wonder about as well. There are two other sites you might look for them at.

@Rollo1 Yes Waterlily did leave a long time ago, but that doesn't stop me missing her. I thought she had gone to one of the sites that closed down.
I'm not joining any more sites as this one is enough for me, but I know that a lot of people like you use multiple sites, so that's why I wondered if anyone had seen anything of them.

@LadyDuck If you have a means of getting in touch with Mary, can you tell her we're missing her and would love her to come here? @BelleStarr says she may be able to get in touch with Waterlily.

@jaboUK Maybe, Valerie, didn't notice how old the posts were? I've read some older ones by current members before when I wasn't paying attention. Plus, some might be visiting and interacting without writing anything new just yet.

@Hatley I've not seen RoseThePlanner - I know she hadn't been active on Bubblews for a while. @Lookatdesktop is here, but not those two Marys. @BelleStarr says that Marymarg may join us after the New Year.

How you doing these days? I have been doing okay. My wife and I have been getting ready for Christmas. She bought a Ham. We don't have a Christmas tree up yet. Still working on it. You can also find me at Persona Paper. Take care.

There are enough ex bubblers here who are hogging the limelight. Why do you need more?

You have a good memory, I remember some of them, but would need a reminder of looking at my old list to ramble them off like you did! To the best of my knowledge I think that I read a post that Mary B did have an account here, but don't quote me on that as I could be wrong. I do miss BettyB, she wrote some really great stuff that I always enjoyed.

I thought I might have seen MerryGoround elsewhere, but I don't think she's using that exact name, so I wasn't sure if it were her. Marymarg began writing elsewhere too, I'd have to look at her cached posts from bubblews where she talks about the site she's now writing on, but I've no idea which post she wrote that on, so I doubt I could find it. Maybe I'll look though. One might be daily2cents, I know of many that went there too.

@MarshaMusselman I only use the one site, so I won't come across them, but if you do that would be great.

@BelleStarr At first I wasn't sure who you were talking about, then I realized, Linda. Do you talk to her on the phone, or via email or on a site? If I remember correctly, she lives in Canada, doesn't she?

You mentioned some of the bubblers I admired, my dear Momma. Although not all of them were friends (following/follower) of mine, but I've read & wrote comments in some of their posts too. A few managed to visit an article of mine, am glad! I miss too: rencelee, DBobsie, Mathealynjasmin, gunsarise, paigea, dearpapah, SKYKING, katie.kathy, applecanoy92, gracieeeee, etc.! If only they will come to myLot...!

I have not seen the ones you mentioned, but remember several of them. I also miss Goodselfme, but I think she quit all writing sites due to health issues.
My nick name was "Cmyrtle" at Bubblews. I joined myLot 4 years ago, but never posted here until about a month ago.

@jaboUK I did not know she had any health issues, because she never talked about them. One day she posted she was leaving due to health issues, and never heard from her again.

It's sad bubbs just shut down so fast it didn't allow for the chance to get contacts with such friends.

@JessicaLynnt Yes, it would have been good if they'd said that they were closing down in 2 days time or so - that would have given us chance to get each other's emails. I do have a few, but not all I'd like.

@garymarsh6 The weather has been brilliant so far, though it's a bit cooler today. It's still far better than England (gloating here!). I'm only on the computer while I'm waiting for my daughter to skype, then we'll be off down to the seafront.
