I think it is sad that COOLTOY has decided to leave us for whatever reason. :'(
-
Yep. He had a gift. Yes he did! :(
-
This is something that upsets me about this forum...we form relationships (if only to look for a picture or anticipate a comment to a post), but if something happened to a member, no one would know. :( I am just hoping Cooltoy is taking a break, or an extended vacation. Hopefully, he is fine.
I have been wondering about several members who haven't posted in a long while. When I asked last fall about Stuart, it turns out he was having serious health issues. :(
Hey Cooltoy..if you are checking in...let us know you are OK ;)

I frequent a golf forum with members throughout the world. Some members took it upon themselves to set up golf outings at various locations for us to meet and play. Met some great people. One day, there was a posting about a member from New Zealand who died in a freak car accident. I had never met him of course, but via the forum, I kinda felt like I knew him. We learned that he had a wife and two young children. One forum member volunteered to take up a collection, and sent the money to his family.
A couple months later, this guy's widow posted to the forum about how much her husband had enjoyed the golf forum and how much she appreciated our kindness. Very nice, yet strange, in knowing that you can have an impact on people all over the world via your PC.
That said, I'm sure CoolToy is jjust busy taking pics of hot tub hotties to post here. 8-)

I was a member of a gaming forum where a very prominent member and moderator suddenly disappeared. Similar to dax' experience, we not only posted together but talked often on Teamspeak/Ventrilo, played together on the same team, and my roommate at the time actually visited him in person when he had a business trip to Texas, and spent the evening with him and his wife. Someone contacted his wife after a few days and it turned out that his business partner had stolen money from him some months ago, he fell into depression and he had committed suicide. As Boni says, although it's only a high level "friendship" through a forum it hit us all very hard. Our members also sent flowers and donations to his wife.
I agree with dax though, I'm sure Cooltoy is just building up his reserve of pictures :) We're waiting!

i was in the market at one time for a hot tub but have since abandoned the dream and i kept coming back and checking in every day or so to check out cooltoy's pic of the day. i miss em and hope that he's fine.

I hung out on a motorcycle forum and one of the members died of health reasons. We took up a collection and sent it to his wife. After the funeral the son took over his dad's bike and started to post on the forum. You do establish relationships. I met webboy yesterday and I feel like I know wewhatahottub (Chrisi) like she is an old friend. So it is an interesting feeling when someone dissappears.

I think Cooltoy will be back. He said on April 9th that he was going to Florida for 2 weeks. It will be just a matter of time before he's back. :)

I always thought that the Hot Tub Pic O' the Day was a tacky idea.

So his tounge is stuck in his cheek with tacky glue. Now that is a tacky situation there I don't care what you say. ;D ;D ;D

Nurses are the SICKEST group of peeps you'd ever want to meet. WHo can dig a bunch of chit out of someones' arss and be proud!! And, then go eat lunch!! SO, That being said I like TACKY!!
BTW, that link is some CHUBBIN TUBBIN!!
Chrisi the sicko ;D

Now, this is the first forum I have ever been on. It becomes like a soap opera and a family feud and a big tubbin party all at once!!!
I only recently joined this forum, and hadn't followed it before that. My hubby was the one who found the forum and now I am the FORUM JUNKIE!
It would be interesting if their was a nursing forum like this---learning and b.s.'ing and bickering. I love this!!!!!!!!!
Now, Term, for your "tacky" statement-some may think there is a ring of jealousy there?? just kidding---
who loves yinz guys--
Chrisi :)

You guys are right, I hope all is well with cooltoy (a fellow Canadian). I also haven't seen a post from Brookenstien lately, I hope all is well in California also.
Boni is right, this all started out when we were shopping for our Hot Tub and now I guess I do feel like I know some of ya'll.
-
I've been wondering about Brooke too and Brewman...among others..
Maybe they just got tired of talking about hot tubs..or whatever it is we talk about..but it would be nice to know they are all OK.. :-/

I move around. I hung out on a motorcycle forum for years and then I bought an RV. After that I started hanging out on the RV site. Next my search for a spa started and then I started hanging out on this forum. People move around as their interests change. Maybe CoolToy bought a new interest and moved to a new area.
Scott ;)
-
Agreed. Maybe he is enjoying some new Cool Toys. ;)
-
Ok, having just read the "goo pix" thread I have discovered CoolToy's daughter is having some serious health issues and won't be posting for a few months.
Hoping all is well for CT's daughter and family--------
