Hi Factoids,
Well it seems the FACTS board is down. I attempted to contact Jimi via the e-mail addresses and text info I have for him, but have not heard back yet. In the meantime here is a place you can post if you'd like. Nothing fancy, but it's a roof of sorts over our heads. I'll keep admins and members updated if I get any further info.
Thanks! Dawn aka Gifthorse
Edit: This has now become the FACTS Official Message Board. Enjoy!

Hi All
I've been trying to reach Jimi but have had no luck. All the email addresses I have for him have bounced so I'm not getting anywhere so far.

I found a couple of old phone numbers for him and tried to SMS them but no reply so far. Fingers crossed he still has at least one of them.

I can't find info for him from last year. Might be somewhere in my computer. Will start an expedition to find . Last year I put $$ into his PayPal account for the board, got a reply from him, but he never took the funds.  Thanks, Dawn, for setting this board up for us.

Hiya Factoid Friends!
It's my pleasure. And of course I still care about all of you. I check on the FACTS board occasionally; tho I've been rather AWOL lately.
I have tried to contact Jimi via text and all the e-mails I have for him...but his work e-mail has bounced back to me today. I hope he's doing okay.
Also, if any of you have e-mails for other Factoid friends that I may not have contacted, please feel free to share this url.
In the meantime I will try to put some other boards up beside just General, if you like. Maybe Regular Board, Social and Politics & Rant.
Having dinner now so will be back to see what I can do here to make us more comfy.
TTYS, Giftie

Great job, Dawn! I wish I could be more help but any info I once had was in a long dead hard drive.

Mike and I have moved from CA to FL....never in my wildest dreams did we EVER think we'd be in FL....but we love where we live. Son and family were fairly close for a few years, but they are now back in Chicago and really enjoy living in the city. So nice to see you, Marc, hope you have the time to post every now and then, always enjoyed what you wrote.

Hello, everyone -- just wanted to let you know I was able to text Jimi last night. He says he'll work on getting the board back up -- Dawn's in the loop, so hopefully it won't be days more.
Will try to stop by there more often -- been busy as always . . .
Love to all,
roseweed

I heard from Jimi. Looks like he may give the keys to someone. So hopefully the board will be back up soon. Congrats, Marc! Nice to 'see' you again as well. Sorry I haven't been on FACTS much... My parents moved near us a couple years ago, then my sister followed (which is a whole other thread). We now have legal guardianship of our son since he turned 18. He graduated from high school and has a part-time job at TJ Maxx. Last semester he started classes at the community college as well. He audiotapes the classes so I can type up notes for him. My dh was laid off from his job at Freescale a few months ago, so he's job-hunting. This weekend we're helping my sister move back up to Missouri to live with here son. Hopefully that will mean a lot less drama for everyone down here. So basically...situation normal.  Dawn

Thanks Roseweed and Dawn! This locale is a good place for all of us to gather, figure out what the heck is going on...lol....and patiently await the return of the "old" hangout. It was very nice of you Dawn to set up this site for us....

Dawn--your son's progress is excellent. It is wonderful to know, thanks for telling us. You know we are all his big fans! Would you ever consider re-locating again for dh's job, or are you determined to stay? Esp. I guess since son is doing so very well where you are. I can picture your mom following you if you do!!!! Wish I could follow you too, you're a magnet wherever you are.

Thanks to Dawn for rescuing us, once again if memory serves.
When (if) we get the regular board back, I will try to (promises promises) copy all the email addresses to an address book.

After being away for far too long, I tried to pop over to the original site. Had to come here.
Then I deleted the link to the original site before finding this thread.
I see everybody's here, including our resident self-proclaimed psychic and defender of the economic status quo (Zak).
