This was just a jokey post to try and get a response. If I remember
correctly Pat said she was going away to meet a chap she met on the
Internet. I don't think she's posted since.
<tell myself don't panic> I'm sure there will be a perfectly logical
explanation.
Didn't work.
SIGN IN TO THE GROUP, PAT. AS SOON AS YOU CAN. LIKE NOW!!

I'm not at all happy about this. How long is it now since we heard from
her?
I just rang her home number. Answering machine.
Maybe she is fine. Maybe I'm too cynical.
I'd like all those of you who rang her every night to keep ringing again
until you get hold of her. Please. I'm seriously worried.

I didn't like it either because the answering machine had a man's voice on
it. I don't like it that the last time we heard from Pat is that she was
going to meet some chap she'd found on the internet and we haven't had any
word from her since.
Call me paranoid if you like, but I don't think so. I do think there is
cause for concern here.

Does anyone know how to get ahold of Gloria?

> Does anyone know how to get ahold of Gloria?

According to Google, Pat last posted here on 13th Feb, and said the
after her trouble finding a good pet-sitter, her plan was to leave the
following Monday, which would have been Valentine's Day. She previously
said the trip to Florida would be about a couple of weeks. Assuming she
went as planned, she would only just have got back, and if it went well,
she may have stayed longer...?

Who received the phone number of her nearby local contact (was that
Gloria, maybe) from Pat, when she had the bath accident? Could one of
those people ring that contact, if we think it is a true cause for
concern?

zoobotanica@gmail.com (Debbie Wilson) had some very interesting things
to say about Re: Ping Pat/Abelard:

I had that, but now can't find it. :-(

Odd. Does anyone know her address? I'm wondering how the police would
respond to a report that newsgroup members are concerned because a woman said
she would be visiting someone she met online, but she hasn't checked in.
Actually, wouldn't even have to say "newsgroup"; just a friend who calls her
regularly and is concerned by the change in message.

I don't recall; did Pat say she would check in by some definite date?

I haven't said anything till now, but I'm worried too. I've met a lot, I mean
a lot, of people I first met online, and at the insistance of a co-worker at
the time, I always made plans with someone to the effect that I'd call when I
got there, and to start worrying if they hadn't heard from me by some set
time. IIRC Pat's situation was more flexible, though, because she was
driving.

I really hope she's okay. So many things could have gone wrong, even if the
guy she was going to meet checks out fine.

DH is more cynical and says that the vast majority of disappearances are
actually people who run away, just purposely make themselves disappear. But
if I went missing after telling people I was going to meet someone from
online, I'd hope someone would worry about me.

Before you panic, remember that someone will be caring for Pat's horses and
would know when she is to return -
