My dear Gordon Lightfoot friends, please keep me in your thoughts and prayers as I have had an extremely rought week so far. There are certain girls I have on my MSN and one of them were being extremely offensive and abusive towards me today and what she said to me earlier this afternoon made it imposible for me to even eat. She said that she is going to show me how to get to hell and that I treat all of her friends like and used a very ugly word which I am not going to post on this forum as this is a family forum and it just really, really hurt me so badly. I have never treated these people badly what so ever and it's immature girls like Miranda who have to make it imposible for me. Please pray for me and drop me an Email at anytime at maheen5894@sympatico.ca I love you. This Friday the 17th I will be leaving for Sri Lanka and will miss you very much, however I will look forward to seeing you all in the New Year! I just had to play Gordon's Rich Man's Spiritual and Remember Me I'm The One and just cried my eyes out. How could this happen?
Love all of you so much! I just wish I was turned to dust right now. Love, Maheen.

Maheen,

You will be in my thoughts and prayers. Unfortunately not all people are as kind and thoughtful as youself. You are still the good person that you are, no matter what people say about, or to you. You are a wonderful, unique, talented, caring person,
and nobody can take that away from you.

Pray about it and give it up to God (or your Higher Power), and let yourself feel at peace. Know that there are many people that love you and respect you, including the people in this group.

Concentrate on your trip to Sri Lanka. Is it for someting special? Please tell us all about it when you get back. We will miss you and remember you while you are gone.

Take care.....be well.

THE TSUNAMI HAS LEFT SO MUCH DESTRUCTION, AND I KNOW YOU ARE VISITING WITH YOUR FAMILY THERE. PLEASE CONTACT ME AS SOON AS YOU CAN. UNTIL THEN, MY FRIEND, I WILL OFFER UP PRAYERS FOR YOU. I PRAY THAT GOD HAS KEPT YOU AND YOUR FAMILY SAFE.

LOVE,
MARCIE

TO THE MEMBERS OF THIS FORUM...

Marcie, a couple of us have requested info from a Sri Lanka web site where they are assisting people in finding info about friends and loved ones, but as of right now, we have not received any news.

Do you know what city he is in? I'm thinking it is Galles, but I'm not sure.

Maheen didn't take his laptop or cell phone with him, so he most likely does not have access to this web site, and I think his inbox is probably full of e-mails from people who are concerned about him.

I spoke to him on the phone the night before he left. He was very nervous about flying. I sure hope he's okay.

Please let us know if you hear anything, and we will do the same.

And don't worry about intruding on this board. It's not a problem.

Cathy,
Thank you so much for your reply. I don't know what city he is in in Sri Lanka.

I have emailed the editor of his hometown newspaper in Ontario. The editor did a piece on the Sri Lankan community where Maheen lives. I will certainly let you know if I hear back from him.

Until then, I'll be praying.

Marcie

well I was IMing Maheen right up until very shortly before he left home and I am pretty sure that at one point he said he was taking his laptop with him to Sri Lanka.
Also at some point I think I noted that he has a hotmail email account posibly maheenwick@hotmail.com so if his Canadian sympatico account is stuffed full with good wishes from his friends, family and army of girlfriends and ex-girlfriends a hotmail account (and I think he confirmed that it had been upgraded to the new 250MB limit) should still be able to accept emails. Maybe he will be able to sign on and read these postings of concern and respond here, but I will try in the morning to send a test email to the hotmail account I just gave.(I think the accurate hotmail addy is on my MSN Messenger's buddy/contact list) but for reasons best known to itself my stupid desktop is playing dummo and refusing to boot up properly so I am using Susan's for this access.
Otherwise he said he'd be back in Toronto on
January 4th so keep your fingers crossed for him
Meanwhile isn't it amazing how quickly the American television newsreaders learnt how to pronounce soo-know-mee!!

So i have just tried to send an email to both of Maheen's email accounts and copied it to Cathy but inexplicably I was told in no uncertain terms not to be so silly

So perhaps Maheen made that hotmail address up to get access to MSN Messenger (or in the recent rush maybe he had omitted to sign in so hotmail on his behalf and nobody else's deleted the account?)

I then tried sending a test email to both accounts from my ISP email account and immediately had both rejected
the sympatico postmaster reported:-

This Message was undeliverable due to the following reason:

The user(s) account is temporarily over quota.
and his hotmail opposite number said:-

For <maheenwick@hotmail.com>, Site (hotmail.com/65.54.252.230) said: 550
Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable
Well at least I tried!!!

Well, thanks anyway, John. I saw in some internet pictures that there are relief centers in Galle, Sri Lanka, so we can only hope that he and his family are all right.
