Tahiti Nut

[sandnsea]

Having just heard of the loss of Tangerine LaBamba, I'm reminded that I haven't seen Tahiti Nut in a while. Some folks were asking about him a few weeks ago. Did he ever check in, or did we ever find anything out?

1. Edited. Tangerine apparently TSed, and later actually passed away.

Edited upon reading another thread about her passing.

Prior Subject Line: "To clarify for any who aren't sure, Tangerine LaBamba did not die, she was TSed."

I didn't know, but I had a bit of a shock reading about "the loss", so checked into it.

:hi:

[sandnsea]

2. The poster said she got a phone call

The phone call was about a tombstone??

And why in the world would Tangerine LaBamba get TSd anyway?

[NYC_SKP]

7. I don't know about alive or dead, but is TSed for certain.

There is a thread or two about her dismissal, won't like but used the Google function, upper right of page, and checked out a Dec 15th thread.

Might be actually dead, too?

:shrug:

12. I second that. Why in the world would Tangerine LaBamba get tombstoned?

I saw nothing offensive in my search of the past year.

16. Weird for certain.

How many DU posters are close enough to get a phone call when another DU internet poster passes I wonder.

She just was trashing Du'ers at a sock puppet site not a week ago. Conservative Cave has many folks who troll DU it seems.

3. So they're not dead but just tombstoned?

Are you sure?

btw, when it comes to TahitiNut, I've read his posts for ages and read that he'd had a stroke in the past, so as a fellow sufferer of a stroke I really hope nothing bad has happened to him. He's a really nice guy...

15. I don't think Mike had a stroke...he had some chest pains that were

maybe an early warning of heart problems. Couldn't afford the Meds...but if he had a stroke ...maybe I missed the post about it. Do you know when he had a stroke? The chest pains were a couple years ago when his DR. wanted to put him on meds.

I know he was posting on DemTex's Blog here when he was in Oregan on the Firetower...but I haven't seen him since October...but not been around here as much as I used to be so might have missed the stroke.

20. I saw someone mention a stroke in the other thread about TahitiNut...

btw, it's terrible that medication for heart problems is something Americans have to pay for out of pocket. I hope you guys end up with a decent universal healthcare system sooner rather than later...

33. I understand he is missed but people keep saying he's "nice"

[seabeyond]

4. the post said passed away. nt

[JI7]

5. she was tombstoned, but she really did pass away also

[NYC_SKP]

8. Oh my. RIP Tangerine LaBamba. n/t

[vademocrat]

17. Prior Subject Line: "To clarify for any who aren't sure, Tangerine LaBamba did not die, she was TSed

Sorry, but that didn't clarify anything to me. Adds to the controversy is all.

She was posting crap about DU folks at an anti-DU site just a week or so ago. Conservative Cave had her posts about some of us here at DU. She was a sock puppet, it seems.

Perhaps this is just a DU parting and she will return under a different name. Who knows.

She certainly was a colorful character, though, eh?

10. Mike is a friend

I haven't heard anything . let me know if you find out .

[TahitiNut]

23. Alive and (mostly) well, luv.

Worry not. :hug: :loveya:

[tonysam]

24. Thank You!!! n/t

[madokie]

30. Damn I'm happy to see you post so I can stop worrying

a couple three weeks ago there was a thread about where the Nut was and as far as I know you never did check in on that one. :hi:

[TahitiNut]

32. When folks spell it "Tahiti Nut" ...

... my search can't find it. :dunce:

[kgnu_fan]

31. good! nt

[IndianaGreen]

13. Any news on Tahiti Nut?

He is an old timer.

[havocmom]

14. TahitiNut thread earlier today

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x7340800

So far, still no word. I miss him too. I don't wanna be the old guy around here. I miss my saner, wiser, funnier DU pals.

[havocmom]

35. Thanks, Stardust

:woohoo:

[TahitiNut]

25. Yikes.

Just because I'm quiet, mourning the loss of my mother (August 1) and Aunt (November 9), and attempting to chase down, repair, and reassemble the remnants of my life ... doesn't mean I'm dead.

Worry not.
:hi:

[Caliman73]

26. Isn't it nice though...

People all concerned cause they haven't heard from you in a while?

[TahitiNut]

28. Yeah ... but where are they when ...

... I need help shoveling the snow??

:evilgrin:

(I detest that white shit!) :grr:

(Thinking of palm trees, sandy beaches, and sunshine.)

[havocmom]

38. got my shovel right here, fella

of course, it will take me until summer to dig out a tunnel between locations

Glad to see ya, Nut. Condolences to you though. Tough year.

[MadHound]

27. Good to see you around though,

Nice to know that you're wanted around here. Sorry about your losses, hope you get your life in order soon.

Peace to you:hi:

[devilgrrl]

29. We were just looking out for you! Glad you're well.

So sorry for the loss of your Mom and Aunt. Hope you had a nice holiday and all that.

Stop in when you're not so busy!
