Now, I don't plan to be offed by an ax murderer, smooshed by a semi or hit in the Target parking lot by a speeding dork who hits cart corrals, but what if?
My husband? Never even reads my blog. He wouldn't know how to log in an let the legions all three of you know.
Elijah? He'd probably type something about turtles...baby turtles
My parents...let's not go there.
So, what do we do? Should we have a blogging vault, where we all put our logins and passwords in a TOP SECRET email that is only opened in case of your absence from the blogging world for a predetermined period of time? If so, what is the time frame? A week? Or would ya'll miss me before then?
I'm stumped. I could have a blog post all written, with my obit and everything, and someone could just put in my cause of death, then hit publish. {Only say nice things, k?}
What if the ax murderer gets ahold of my login, poses as me, and gets all your info? Okay, that is a stretch. maybe.
Alas, I may be gone for a bit this weekend. We are going out of town to take the kiddos to a hotel and swim and play. Monday is my {deceased} brother's birthday, so I will be hanging with my parents quite a bit- it is pretty hard on them.
If you come up with any stellar ideas, let me know. Until then, let's hope I don't get offed. {Hubs figures out the checkbook tonight!}

Have a good weekend, and don't worry about us...we'll be fine without you for a couple days :)
Enjoy your time with your family!
I have totally thought about this! I always wonder when people go MIA, and they don't respond to emails or comments, if something happened to them, and how would we know.
I guess I can making it through the weekend, but it will be difficult. All kidding aside, I hope you have a wonderful weekend away with your family.
I've often wondered how all my bloggy/facebook/online forum friends would find out if something horrid happened to me. Seriously--Hubba Hubba's not going to login to all my stuff. Interesting ideas.
Enjoy your weekend away, and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers on Monday.
Good thought. Scary, but good. You can count on me to handle everything! I'd dig up your address (since I still have to send your yoga dvds back anyway, or in the case of death, can I keep them?), find out your phone number to make sure you weren't just ignoring us and leave your blog as is so we could all remember you. How's that for a quick plan?!
Great Thanks!! One more thing for me to worry about. I'm uppin' my pills tonight. :) Have a good weekend.
Have a great time tonight :) I promise hubby wont off you; he may get a bit torked, but nothing more ;) Another thing to think about...hopefully not soon! I don't plan on going ANYWHERE thankyouverymuch!
Have a great weekend!

i've always wondered the same thing. (glad to hear i'm not the only one worried about this!) ben never remembers his own passwords for anything (he always asks me) so i know he wouldn't remember my blog password!
one thing i thought of though... somewhere in the blog settings it has a place where you can make up and email address so that you can email a post to your blog. maybe you could write down that email address and give it to corey so that he could email a post to your blog to tell us that you're dead.
OHHHHHH I DON'T LIKE TALKING ABOUT THIS! just don't let him find your target receipts and you should be fine!! :-)
oh... and i hope you have a good weekend. will be thinking about you guys on monday.
That's weird maybe we wouldn't know we would just not see them blog any more, unless someone knew them and told everyone. Have a great weekend, I'm gonna miss you guys I'm leaving on Mon, but I'll try to post!:)
Hmmm...I'd like to have a tribute page for me. I've seen quite a few myspace and facebook pages in which the owner passed away and someone keeps it updated. People go and post comments about how much they miss the one who is gone. Morbid, but very sweet too.
Sara,
I pray for peace and comfort beyond understanding for you and your parents this weekend. Anniversaries are always tough and I really don't know how a parent would ever get over the death of their child.
My hubs knows a lil about my logging on to my blog...so eh...I'm sure someone would clue you in :) XOXO
I have a spreadsheet with all of my passwords, but my hubby probably wouldn't even realize that anyone would care if I didn't blog any more. Maybe I should leave him special instructions on what to do if that ever happened. He'd probably write a terribly blunt and not at all eloquent post. :o)
I've thought about this too. About other people. I have a good friend who blogs & knows my info (she posted for me when BG was in the hospital) & hopefully she'd think to post my obit. That's kinda morbid.
Sorry to hear about your brother.
I plan on none of my blogging friend getting offed. Ever. Just plan on that, okay?
That's a very good question. You've blog is so awesome! I wish I would have designed it, lol. I have an award for you!
K, what have you been watching on TV lately?!?
I am so sorry to hear that you lost your brother. That is great that you are going to spend time with your parents. And, yeah, how would we know if we were gone? I will put a list of directives for my hubs, one being to log in and mention that Counselormama is now, hopefully, an angelmama!
Yea! You learned I gave you an award before I realized I forgot to tell you!
I taugh 8-12th grades for 1 year before I got pg w/one of my sons. I loved that age! ha ha ha
Actually, now that I think about it. I taught 7-12 grades. Yeah, that pregnancy brain kinda got to me. ;)
well, well, well...
i haven't ever thought about that ---but, now i am!! geesh..what would we do?!?!
you've given me something to think about this weekend; so, don't you think about anything other than your family time!!
ENJOY!! and yes...you would be missed!
I've thought about this often too. I'd like to think that maybe a few people would be curious as to what happened to me if I disappered from the blogging world. Let me know if you figure something out!
If you die, I will totally find a way to hack into your account and make a very lovely post about how awesome you were:)
And then I will invite everyone to your Celebration Of Life service and then I will organize a memorial run in your honor and the winner will recieve a sweet gift card to..none other than....Target!! And of course the run would start and end at......Target!! And the main sponser of the run would be......Target!! You get the idea.
OK, that all maybe sounds a bit creepy. I don't normally sit around and plan out what I would do if my friends died.....
On a lighter note....Have an awesome run on Sunday!! I might venture down to see you finish, but no promises:)
Now that's something to think about! I guess I'm going to have to write down all my passwords and teach my husband how to post on my blog. These aren't happy thoughts.
-FringeGirl
Oh please don't even talk that way! I would miss you for certain. I always get excited when I check my dashboard and see that you have made a new post. You're one of my fav's babe! So don't go and get offed on me now!
You know, this might sound weird, but I think about this a lot. I guess I was hoping my blogging friend in town would stop by, log in (passwords are automatic!) and tell everyone. But I haven't told her this yet. ;)
I'm really sorry to hear about your brother, and it's great that you are going to spend time with your parents.
I like the idea of the vault! ;-)
Have a great weekend!
Have a great weekend, Girl!
Enjoy your family.....will say a prayer of peace for you and your parents as you remember your brother's birthday....
it's funny, when i saw erica's comment, i thought...yea what if!? so i'm glad you kind of thought it too! god is good and praying that he sees you through the weekend and monday peacefully. i don't know how it is to celebrate a brother's birthday with him not here, but i know that when my due date passed of our first baby it was really hard. i can imagine it's the same. BUT god. he will see us through it all. PRAISE HIM! have a great weekend. and thanks for your comment to me the other day, you truly bless me!!
I left you something on my blog. I know my husband would not know what to do either. I am not sure maybe I can have my husband e-mail my one friend and tell her and then she can get in to tell others. You are so Funny.
this is too funny...because i, too, have thought about this. so mortal, i know! i'm going to ponder on this...
Extra xoxo
Girl, you always keep me thinking. I have thought about everyting else in case I should die, but I didn't think about blogging. I guess I will have to write out a post for my husband to publish in case I shall pass. Oh, how he will be laughing at his silly wife the entire time he would be publishing it. Have a great weekend and I will keep you and your family in my prayers as this is always a difficult time.
I had the conversation with my husband about having to post in case of an emergency. I swear he ROLLED his eyes.
Tell Elijah I saved a baby turtle this morning. I wish I would have taken a picture. My dog was digging at it but I swooped in and saved teh day!
Hope you guys have a fun weekend playhing in the pool and having fun.
So like Sara --- did you like totally think I got offed since I didn't respond to this one even though you gave me props??? Shout outs??? a Hollaback?!
Well, I just went to the coast for the weekend. So yea, I'm okay. Not dead. But I could've been! And who would've updated my blog to tell you? Cuz personally, nobody else in my life but me even knows who the heck "Sara" and Aileigh, and Mimi and Tarah and Nan and Steph and OMG this could go on for ages! Who will tell "my girls" that I"m dead and gone? This really is a dillema!
I was gonna do a post on this for "The Five Moms & A Blog"... and I almost didn't push "Submit" on that comment for fear this would happen. Get out of my mind and quit stealing my material, Woman! ha ha ha
TOTALLY KIDDING, but I really did think about writing one very similar to this, cuz it really does bug me to wonder what y'all would even ever know if I got killed in a car wreck!!!!
OMG. I can't believe I am the only who thinks about that type of thing. I've often thought what if and how would people know?
I am happy to now I am not alone in this one.
I don't like to think about being MIA. It would be nice if I made some preparations for my loved ones, but I'm not expecting to die. I'm not old & all of that stuff. We do have a will though & my kids will be taken care of provided my sis doesn't go before we do. Anyway, I'd better start hauling all of this clutter outa my house or my poor family will be overwhelmed with junk. Thanks for the pleasant thoughts (JK). Have a good weekend.
that is something to think about. Thankfully, my hubby does know I blog and has access to it. So he could let all my bloggy buddies know.
Is it weird that I have this all figured out. Morbid much!?!
I hope that never happens but i have friends who know my log in info.
I won't lie... but I've totally thought of this before when favorite bloggers went MIA for awhile.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has given thought to this! Great minds think alike, I guess.
However, I do think that if someone comes up with a viable solution to this issue, they should let everyone else in on it. Why keep it a secret?
How strange, I was thinking about that last week. Thinking, wow, would people just think I got sick of this blog thing??? Of course, I don't have many regulars, but still.
