I've often worried when we lose track of someone who has been a regular on the Forums and I particularly fret when there is a weather warning in their area like the one about Tropical Storm Beryl which is due to hit the East Coast tonight.

Would you chickies like me to set up a phone number database for access by the MODs only? If so, please PM me. If you are new and don't have PM ability yet, just post that you'd like to be on the list and I'll contact you via your registration email to get the phone number.

I know! I know! I'm a mother hen but I do worry. We lost track of some of my Garden Biddies during Katrina and vowed it would never happen again. They had telephones but no electricity so couldn't post.

The phone numbers will remain strictly admin accessible, I promise!

Ruth, I love the idea, as I've often wondered and worried about some of our regulars who suddenly drop out of sight. We're family.

I think that is a wonderful idea too... I am PMing you with my phone number.

I think it's a wonderful idea too. It can be so easy to fall away sometimes! A call would be a wonderful help at times like that!
