Chime in when you can. Looking forward to hearing from you. It certainly can't be the best situation in the world to be bed-ridden as you are. This (echomail) is probably the most reasonable way for you to communicate on your schedule and be in touch with the outside world.

Were you a market exec in a previous job? Your little "ads" in the ECHO_ADS are funny and interesting.

Ciao!

On those 3 "off" days, what's left to do? Stare at the ceiling?

Can lift up a book and perhaps feed your brain that way?

Crappy. I'm positive for C19, as is my family. . .:(

It's harsh symptoms, but luckily we're strong & healthy, more or less & per our GP, the best defense now is our own bodies.

I've cut back work, of course, & any other activities requiring clear focus, as I get fuzzy and tired, with the aches & pains. . .

Plus I got a kidney stone working its way through my kidney & ureter quite painfully, on top of the Covid. . . :P

Sucks. . .

Glad I can sit up & stay at home. . . & live mostly independently. . . (no choice -- I'm not asking also-sick family members to do things for me)

Get well & 100% soon, Erich! & get out of the hospital (proper discharge) -- the worst place to be if you're sick (or well)

Bummer; what kind of health issue? I get my owndays/weeks like this, too. . .

But no iPad, so I'm just offline for a time if I need to take restful healing time. . .

Can you play audio books? Or set your iPad on it's side to watch video or read?

I haven't heard from Erich in a year or so.

The last time I heard from Erich he asked me to take over his MOBILE echo. When I asked him why he told me it was because he had health concerns.

I don't know exactly what he meant by that and I haven't heard from him since.

He annoyed me at times but I supposed I annoyed him at times too.

I hope he is in a good place, wherever he is.

Hello Rob Swindell!

The last post I get here from Eric is 01/09/21 .. so that
would be September 1, '21.

Erich last posted on this echo in June of last year:

� From: Erich B. #527

... And last logged onto Vertrauen on June 23rd of last year.

On Mar 18 2022 he posted a message in MOBILE that he would not
be able to continue to moderate that echo.

He described his situation as bedridden and needed help with
practically everything. He was also in a lot of pain most of
the time. Tapping away on a tablet was one way he could reach
out to communicate.

Perhaps someone in Fido-land knows him from several years prior
and could possibly track down more info?

I asked him why he told me it was because he had health concerns.

I asked him about why he gave up the echo and he said it was because the board he frequented (yours I guess) no longer ran Synchronet. I saw him a time
or two after than in the Dovenet echos.

I don't know why that would make a difference. He frequented other BBSs to, Vertrauen at least.

He had his own BBS also (Park Avenue Place). I helped him set that up. That was Synchronet. I don't know why he didn't keep that up.

When was the last time you helped with that? I think it was in

Like so many people I have talked to in Fidonet or other nets I don't know much about Erich. I think his name is Erich and I think he lived in Surrey, but beyond that I don't know anything about him.

He may have left the planet or he may be busy with other things.
