Hello, sorry, don't know how to contact Borderstone. I also don't know how many libraries there are here in Phoenix.
Matthew

BINGO!!!
ah the power of the internet
further to the replies by Matthew and Gaby
in an earlier thread I eventually managed to get B a.k.a. Walter Lamont (his middle name) to sign into my lightfoot webring page's guest book as a private entry and he gave me his address thus knowing his zip code
I did a google search for "library" and the zip and then from a handy list of Phoenix library branches at:- http://phoenix.gov/PUBLIB/libjbapp.html
I found that there are two library branches in Phoenix with the same zip as B's
using mapquest.com revealed that the distances from B's to the library branches are:-
the first one I tried was precisely 3.54 miles probably a rather long jog away??
further investigation revealed a second banch
only 0.94 mile away (5 minutes by automobile)
I am now about to e-mail the relevant details to Matthew to take further including the branches'phone numbers
and suggested to him
"Worth trying to phone the branch first they just might have a record of his home phone number?? (maybe even the librarian is B's new girlfriend?!!!)And check if either of them is 2-storey

At this holiday time, I am deeply impressed by how concerned we all are over Borderstone's disappearance. Let's pray that he is well and turns up soon. I know that he will be very deeply touched by all the concerns expressed here. This really restores my faith in fellow humans, and reminds me that we are truly one big family. Gord fans are, of course, the greatest!

titan 12-18-2003 03:42 PM

Aren't there laws against stalking??? What if Watchman or Auburn Annie or myself for that matter stops posting for a month?
Will the Corfid police show up at our doorsteps? Maybe we should all chip in a few dollars and hire a private investigator.
I do admit, however, that I too have become attached to my Border-Buddy. I hope he's OK.
I'm calling Southwest and find out when the next flight to Phoenix leaves.

Also, I have a friend that works for Prairie
Farms. He's in charge of labeling the milk cartons. If someone will E-mail me a photo
of Borderstone, I can have his picture on every milk carton from Boston to Tiajuana.
Speaking of Tiajuana, has anyone looked there yet??????

Titan: In my mind it's a little different situation. Neither you, Auburn Annie or Watchman (or most of the rest of us)post continuously, day after day, and as frequently as Borderstone has. I know that I, for example, go in spurts. Sometimes I just lurk. Lurking isn't like stalking, is it? Are there laws against it too?

Anyway, my point is that our buddy Borderstone seems to have attached himself to all of us in a much deeper way and this "disappearance" seems to be totally out of character.

I'm catching the next plane for Phoenix and intend to go door-to-door calling his name!

Auburn Annie 12-18-2003 08:19 PM

"...Aren't there laws against stalking??? What if Watchman or Auburn Annie or myself for that matter stops posting for a month?"

Well, if I stop posting for a month, either our computer died or I'm gravely ill - or it's Christmas break and I can't pry my kids off long enough for me to do anything more than checking my email <g>

Maybe B's traveling, visiting relatives for the holidays? Could be a family emergency that has his attention elsewhere or he could be laid up with the flu - somehow I don't see even the dedicated Borderstone dragging himself from his sickbed to post. I expect we'll hear from him again in a little while.

TheWatchman 12-18-2003 09:15 PM

Well, I found him. Here he is. Looks like he took my advice after all and is hell bent on finding a woman. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

BILLW 12-18-2003 09:47 PM

This is great, wacky but great, I hope he's OK and I hope he comes back or at least contacts us in some way. We all have varied opinions of the person and that's cool. We've all agreed with him and some of us have blown him off a time or two. But it's his posting prowess that has stuck in our heads. I mean half the time he's talking to himself but at least he lights up the red bulbs when otherwise they'd be lights out. So I would like to propose that at least one reply per day is posted to this thread until we know what happened to him.
Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
Peace
Bill http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif
He's probably on a two week vacation before the busy season at his Hotel starts, ya think?

Geez, everytime I check here and see that this topic is at the top, I get hopeful that it's because Borderstone has replied! I hope he comes back soon, I have Borderstone withdrawl.
Even when he isn't here, he's kept us posting!

Stalking? Stalking?! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/confused.gif What are you stalking about? http://www.corfid.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Yes folks,I'm here! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Alive & well & doing fine among other things. I have been busy in the romance dept...yes. Also,in my job where the holidays take up a good deal of my time and also I just finished moving into a new place. Yay! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif I'm on a short break from work and on a time limited PC. I hope to have more time to post after all this mayhem slows down. (Except for the romance part.)

No details though,I'm a gentleman and I don't kiss & tell! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif I'm touched that I was missed,now I'm gonna cry! Sorry Watchman,no tattoo's for me! Ever! Gotta go folks,exept for my B. Tapes section,late!! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

SomewhereupinMichigan 12-19-2003 08:55 PM

Who once was lost, is now found! Welcome Back, B-stone! We all missed ya, you goofus! Glad the absence was attibutable to romance and work...just let us know in advance the next time you're going on hiatus for more than a day!

Tyler 12-20-2003 12:47 AM

The mystery is solved, and to the good. Remember when Watchman left us for awhile. Good luck in the romance B!

Oh the B, oh the B, oh the B is back...

The universe is in perfect harmony again.

Borderstone, this is me SASSING you. It's cool that you've found romance, but next time you take off on a wild 10 day love fest, let us know, will ya? You don't know how close we were to sending in the FBI.

Merry Christmas to you and your new girl.

Borderstone 12-20-2003 06:40 PM

Great as the romance is,it was actually work (which I just finished for the day) that kept me from posting. Along with the move.

I did get a reward for my hard working efforts though. Thanks to a kingly paycheck I was able to say good-bye to my 1993 K-Mart 13 in. TV and buy a 2003 TV! Nice flat screen but is still analog. (For all that know what that means.)
I'm also X-mas shopping for family & friends. I'm EX-HAUS-TED! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/tongue.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif Goin' home tonight and (as the cool people say) crash out!
By the way,I'd never be so lame as to leave on purpose just to get messages about myself! That's the epitome of fishing for compliments! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif
Well,I've still got an hour on here so I'm going to try to reply to all posts that peek (?) my interest. It's been the B! Happy Christmas,Haunnakah,Kwanza and New Year to All Of You! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif Later! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif

Just a little bit of a "kiddin' around" reminder folks....if I'm not here for a few days next month,I'm most likely bogged down in work and the holidays! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif

I was so touched last Dec. when I saw that people actually missed my presence here. Hard to believe in 20 days it'll be a year already! http://www.corfid.com/ubb/eek.gif

Anyhow,just giving advance notice. We all get quite busy the day after Thanksgiving until New Year's Eve. I (and I hope all of you) will be on as frequetly as possible.

Been me. Later! ...and Happy Holidays in advance. http://www.corfid.com/ubb/wink.gif http://www.corfid.com/ubb/cool.gif

Sheryl,
Borderstone's only real competition in this category of "most posts" was DMD3. Since DMD3, at least his name, has been banished from corfidland Borderstone wins by default.

Bill http://www.corfid.com/ubb/smile.gif


Sheryl Klein 11-22-2004 11:03 AM

I know -- I was just teasing him! I also assume that this DMD3 character is the troll of whom people were referring a few weeks ago. Someone (forgot who, sorry) scanned a nice picture of him in one of the rooms, though!
