Where is JmJm530?

[Andiamo1]

He last posted in June and said that he would stay off until his tendinitis went away.  Many people leave the forum once they reach SVR, but jmjm was actively involved and very helpful.  I guess I thought he would be around for a while.

I think he is sorely missed.

Goof says frankly speaking, some nimrods were spouting nonsense.

I'm sure glad were not guilty of that.

Maybe he decided it was time to give the computer a rest and took up triathlons instead and is training for the ironman. Who knows?

We were lucky to have him contribute for as long as he did.
I wish him the best of luck and happiness wherever he is and whatever he's doing.

OH

I miss you, too, Jim. You´re someone I could always count on for the right words. I hope you come back soon.

Maybe my first post here concerned my stage 4 diagnosis, and which drug to take for how long. Two of the residents at that time (one a relapser as I recall) made really depressing (and as it turns our, irresponsible) comments about how long I needed to treat to have even a chance at clearing. Jim jumped in, politely setting the record straight and backing it up with facts. That was a huge relief for me at a moment of vulnerability when, frankly speaking, some nimrods were spouting nonsense.

I haven't been on much myself but did want to chime in about Jim - he was such a great help to me that I put a picture of him on my profile (The guardian Angel) Do any of you recall that thread. I had to add the horns and tail at one point. The picture is still there.Tooo funny!

Really miss him and all of you for that matter.

Jim wasn't ever really that forthcoming with personal info (and indeed at times I wondered if jmjm really meant Jim and wasn't just the characters on the space bar) unlike me who blabs everything straight out!

I just hope he's ok wherever he is. It does worry me because it is so UNLIKE him to disappear for good.

Jim was also one of the first people I met on MH. He help me more then anyone especially when i first found out I had HCV. Come to think of it there was so many knowledgeable members back then. Many have moved on and put HCV behind them.

Jim hung around here long after he was cured and continued to help people out. Oh well we all have to move on eventually.

i have his email. i may reach out to him and see how he is doing.

JmJm....Still MIA ?? No one has an e-mail or number here ?

[Rockerforlife]

Jim was the very first person to help me out.He is an amazing human being.

He was a rock. Helped me loads.

I miss Jim. Meki, too, come to think of it. Thanks for posting the fishbone thread again. It's like the SNL Bass-O-Matic sketch .... classic!

[zazza]

I miss you too, Jim! You are in my thoughts every now and then. A good friend you were, supporting me when winds blew hard.

[ladybug52]

I don't get on much, and one of the reasons is Jim isn't around anymore.

I guess it was bound to happen eventually. I can't believe he spent so much time here in the first place.

He must have someone else in his life now besides Jenna. She would never demand anything from him, (like give up the forum), some other woman might not be so gracious about sharing him.

So, I say we find out who it is and make her life miserable till Jim comes back. I do remember him talking about his pharmacy "friend" a couple of times.....

I'll be stalking CVS and Walgreens till he comes back!

[kciav]

That fish thread was soooooo fun and hilarious!  Thanks for posting it.  It looks like I missed some great threads!

Miss Jim's sense of humor :)

[mikesimon]

I guess there are sacred cows after all.

[scratchinghead]

so getting back to Jim. What type of mattress did he end up buying/using?

[Trish77]

I apologize, Eric.  My comment was perhaps due to a misunderstanding and I hope so.  I did not mean to cast a shadow on your thread.  This thread is for those that appreciated and miss Jim.  I'm one of them.  We didn't always agree on forum TOPICS and we allowed each other room to disagree without taking it to a personal level.   I value that very much and, I'll hazard to say, something that seems to be sorely lacking on the forum lately, under personal evaluation with regards to myself also.  

He was and is my friend.  People inevitably leave the forum and I'm actually glad that Jim has moved on, if indeed this is permanent.  I would hazard to guess that Jim just kept being increasingly involved in "offline" things and just never made his way back here.   I do know he was starting to get involved in his outdoors pursuits that had been on hold for a very long time due to treatment and recovery from same .. and once you get going and feel the energy coming back into your life from that .. well...all I have to say is .. you go, Jim.  No explanation required and gratitude from those of us who benefitted from your many contributions, one of them being me.

Sorry for that last post.  I did not mean to address that to you.  

Thank you for pointing out how this place used to be before all the back biting and nasty behavior started.

[Andiamo1]

Many people have said the place changed after the political thread that I started got so heated.

Here is a thread about one of the good guys on the forum and look what happened.  There is clearly a lot of anger here on the part of many people.  Those that seem to heap blame, should ask themselves what there involvement is

I had hoped this would be a tribute to Jim, not a fight.

[Willy50]

Jim was the pinnacle of what makes these boards work IMHO.  He was prolific, one of the most informed, wise, funny and a great writer.  

He had a human side too, as was evidenced by his walk on the wild side with inflatables or obsessive tendencies with mattress selection.

A great human being, a prodigious poster and sage writer.

Merry Christmas Jim, if you ever get to reading this.

Tendonitis wasn't Jim's "excuse" it was his "reason".  Don't recall anything Jim ever did that would warrant anyone thinking he was anything other than straight up on that.

Last I heard, Jim was busy with things that took him far away from computers. He went through a tough time with, and because of, treatment and it's good to think of him enjoying life.  Definitely missed.
