I don't know if the blogs are messed up, but PatientSaver's blog seems to be retired, with the last entry posted in 2018? Does anyone know anything? Did I miss a farewell or any kind of explanation? Or is this just a temporary glitch, do you think?

I think it must be a glitch. I think she had more current entries than June 2018.

Hmm, no there was no official goodbye of any kind. I'm guessing temporary. I feel like she posted in the last month or so.

And Dido posted on May 12th that she had seen her in person. The blog missing is odd!

I noticed her blog missing and emailed her a week or two ago. It's not a glitch; she had concerns about having so much personal financial information on a site with little security.

However, she is happy and doing well.

Thanks Petunia! Sorry to hear that she will be absent from this site. I don't think this site has every had I what I would consider security. It's a risk we all take.

I’m sad to see her gone. I got so attached to her after reading along about all she went through with her mother.

I’m not sure who, glad to know all is well.

Butterscotch, you echo my sentiments exactly. She was such a good writer. I felt like I knew her personally, so it feels like a loss. Glad to hear all is well though, and she's close to retirement so she may have other interests to pursue.

She left once before, though, didn't she?

@LR, yes, and she came back with a different blog name. Based on her reason this time, I'm not sure that is likely.

Thank you for the update. I echo everybody else's sentiments and happy to know she is well.

Thanks Petunia. I'm sad to see her go but at least I'm not worried.

I am sad as well. I wish she would come back and maybe not share what she feels is sensitive.

I echo what Rob said. I was wondering where she was. Thanks for letting us know.

Oh no! I'm so sad! She is one of my favorite bloggers.

Dido Says:

Yes, she left because of security concerns and feeling she had too much of her personal financial information posted on the site, possibly making her a target. We had emailed about this and after that, I reduced the amount of financial information (net worth and so forth) that I previously had in my blog side bar, but I don't share her concerns about making oneself a target just by posting here.

I'm going to email her and suggest that she read these comments--and perhaps respond. I definitely miss seeing how she's doing on a regular basis (we do email periodically with each other, but less frequently than she had posted on here), and I find myself checking in a bit less frequently to the site as a result.

She is such a good writer. I'd love it if she could contribute with less specific detail.

Thanks Dido! I do know that she shared specifically the town she lived in, or made references to it, which I don't think anyone should be doing honestly. And as a single person, I'm sure that she is more cautious. We all have to do what is right for us.

I miss Patient Saver, Laura, Ceejay (doesn't post as much anymore) but I don't expect that they should post just to keep me happy! :-D I'm glad for CB in the City and Amber to read their regular posts even if I'm more of a lurker than anything.

Butterscotch Says:

Goodliving - I feel the same way! I really miss her writing. I wish she would come back and blog about her life and just leave finances out of it if that’s what concerns her. I loved reading about her meeting up with distant relatives, the remodeling she would do on her house and yard, and even about her lunches out with her father. I hope he is doing okay!

And yes, I love reading about CJs life. Like when they did a year of new recipes, or when she travels to see family and favorite bands. Plus her whole family dynamic is kind of edgy and progressive. Please post more CJ!

I am also grateful for Amber and CB in the City. Amber is such a strong, determined woman, and CB has the most positive attitude. I swear when CB doesn’t post for a day I find myself hoping that she is okay!

I know a lot of people get obsessed with Netflix or Games of Thrones, but not me. I get into some of these blogs more than I do TV shows!
I hope everyone is doing well - you too My English Castle and Frugal Texan! Catch us up!

I still keep up on reading the blogs and I keep meaning to blog more often myself. My life just never seems to slow down these days!!

I agree--it's been too quiet on this site of late.

I miss PatientSaver's blog, too! As a fellow single homeowner, I especially loved reading about how she cared for her house. I hope she will consider returning at some point. Also wondering about English Castle and others. Wondering whatever happened to commenter Snafu?
