Where is Villages Pl????

[graciegirl]

I know I debate him hot and heavy and throw some zingers but I don't ever want him not to be O.K.

I hope he has just taken a little vacation.

He hasn't logged on for a week and that is so unusual. Please hurry back, VPL so we can argue.

[Villager Joyce]

VPL, I hope you are ok. No one to argue with so I've had to resort to arguing with my husband. Not good for my marriage.

[dewilson58]

I think it's a sabbatical............researching, studying and getting more ammo. Watch out upon his return.

I believe he has gone on a cruise - for vegans only. At all ports of call the 5 passengers disembark to try the local veggies and salad bars. I understand one of the stops is well known for its vegetable smoothies and he hopes to come back and share the recipe on TOTV.

We do miss him though.

[Wandatime]

I've heard of this cruise! Instead of entertainment they have expansive roundtable discussions on a number of dietary subjects, including such diverse subjects as:

Beets -- which are more nutritionally dense, red or yellow, and how to measure
Coffee enemas -- regular or decaf?
Couscouse -- whole grain or pasta in disguise?

Just kidding, VPL!

I was just thinking. Ships these days have Internet service. Has he been banned by the ship?

[DonH57]

Maybe by an unspecific reason he sampled the sausage gravy and biscuits at Hacienda and he's totally stunned. Seriously despite all my past smart aleck comments I hope he's ok.

[TheVillageChicken]

Maybe he lost his veganity.

I crack me up.

O.K. I am about to go to the Library and ask questions. Is that stalking?

I was really surprised that he didn't chime in on the cheese thread. He's probably just tired of arguing with all of we idiots and has given up trying to save us.

If you go in costume nobody will know who you are. Try dressing up as CF, then she'll get blamed.

[graciegirl]

She is VERY good looking. And has Crosby. Do you think if I borrowed Crosby she would notice? No. She is still blonde and snappy looking.

5/22/15. Last post late on 5/20. I read a post from her just after midnight.
That would have been 5/21. That post was removed. I remember thinking at
the time - this will be taken down.

I've heard you're pretty snappy looking yourself. And if she won't let you borrow Crosby, I'll let you borrow Harry.

[Taltarzac725]

I went dark for six days or so from May 16-May 25. Was mesmerized by the sites in Virginia, DC and a very small part of Maryland.

May be taking another trip in a few months.

Maybe, these people went somewhere amazing and are too busy to get to the computers? I still used Facebook though but through someone else posting for me.

We always give multiple prior notices before anyone is banned or put in a 'time out'. Only spammers or an extreme situation would result in an immediate ban of an account.

Yes, the entire cruise can be done in an inflatable rubber dinghy, variously known as Zodiacs and Avons. And West Marine has a very good version as well. Some even have fiberglass bottoms and floors. Dogs love them because from their position at the bow they can reach the water with their snouts.

Yes, we have a large Zodiac at our lake cabin. It would make a perfect cruise ship for five Vegans.
And they could reach the water for occasional drinks with their snouts.
Oh, I just reread your post, you said that dogs could drink from the water, sorry.

May I be so bold to suggest he might be sick?

That is what I've been worried about. I think he lives alone.
He lives in the same Village as I do, but I don't know his street address.
Otherwise I would have asked Community Watch to pop by and check on him.
VPL would probably be the first to remind me that it's none of my business.
But on TOTV, we're all friends, and we worry about each other.

I don't know anyone who knows his real name. Would the staff at the library know perhaps?

[graciegirl]

I would be willing to try. I have even thought of asking the Admin if he was in time out. And then asking if they could find out what his name is and ask community watch to find out if he is o.k.

I hope he is o.k.

We know he doesn't have a computer, smart phone or another way he can get email unless VPL is at the library. I don't know of any other way to reach him unless Admin has a way to help.

G, which library does he go to?

Usually the one up by 466, Belvedere, I call it.

Agree.......Not everyone play out their life events on ToTV with drama. I use to be surprised when someone takes a break from ToTV and post a dramatic post announcing the departure/break. Some want the exit attention, some don't.

[Villager Joyce]

I hope he reads all the posts and thinks to himself that maybe we were right...friends do help you live longer and happier.

[slipcovers]

I think he is just loving this thread. Its like playing "hide and seek" ....catch me if you can. Hope he is well and returns soon.

Why would you go to the trouble to look up all that information (time, date, etc.) Why would youy even notice? You had no interaction with her? She could be away over a holiday week, you know. Same as VPL.

Gracie, think about it. If you go to the library... you don't know what he looks like. You'd have to ask the people at the desk, and they are going to think you're strange, because you're asking about someone whom you haven't a clue what he looks like and don't know his name. Maybe they don't understand forums. It might not look like stalking, but it could look just plain nosy!

He has neighbors. He has a lady friend. If he's missing, someone will report it. He's just on vacation or recovering from something, and we should respect his privacy. JMO

Someone at the Doggie Doo Run Run asked me what the hot topics on TOTV were and I tried to explain this thread which started to sound to them like we needed Monk involved. He is the obsessive-compulsive San Francisco detective played by Tony Shalhoub.

Me too.

We do not need Monk just yet. Does Villages PL have a pet? I would expect if he has a dog people have seen him out walking it.

[Villager Joyce]

He doesn't have a cat because when I suggested he get a cat to resolve his lizard problem, he made it clear he isn't a cat person. Don't know about a dog.

My dog Beau certainly solves some of our lizard problems. Also that of Doggie Doo Run Run, Sumter Landing, and various postal centers as well.

Villages PL probably is reading this and chuckling.

But on TOTV, we're all friends, and we worry about each other.

Thinking about this unless he is in a very strange location in the Villages and/or has only snow birds as neighbors, the people who live around him would notice if something were wrong especially the people at the mail center, newspaper deliverers, lawn people, etc. And Neighborhood Watch too.

[Carla B]

No cat or dog. They're meat eaters and meat is a "NoNo."

I think VPL reads the newspaper daily.
Presumably if he fell ill, the newspapers would be piling up in his driveway and a neighbor would notice.
I think that it's healthy to take a sabbatical from TOTV from time to time.
I wish I could do it -- it's probably easier if one doesn't have a home computer.

It is us TOTV addicts that people start talking about as to where they are. Villages PL is quite a regular. It is as if Norm did not show up at Cheers; so Cliff, Sam, Carla, and Woody start to worry. If you are an occasional drinker at Cheers then Coach might notice or maybe Diane, but Norm would probably be too busy drinking and visiting.

[Barefoot]

And if you don't come back, we will start a post wondering about you!

Then we could have lengthy speculations on why you didn't come back.
Drowned by the undertow. Stung by the jelly fish. Mugged by the pickpockets. Attacked by sharks.
Goober, you better use the hotel internet to keep us updated while you're away so we won't worry. :evil6:

No. I don't know his name either.

No. I have never met him.

Umm well no, I don't know what he drives. I think he checks out films, but he doesn't have a television, what kind of films could that be?

That's funny. There must be neighbors on TOTV though who know whom we are talking about when Villages PL comes up as a subject. Hopefully one of these people will step up. I know there are a lot of people from the places I frequent who know my identity as Taltarzac725.

Is it possible that he has been given a "time out"?

I respectfully disagree. I can't think of anytime that a time out was noted publicly by the administrators.

And speaking of that. I do know a couple of people who in the past were moderators.

I have never been asked and I have never served. I also don't own the forum. (This has been suggested from time to time) I am just obviously addicted to this forum.

I have never been asked and I have never served. I also don't own the forum. (This has been suggested from time to time) I am just obviously addicted to this forum.

BUT... I DO have the most wonderful grandchildren of anyone who posts on here. Wanna see pictures?.

Now running to get under the bed.

Well that could be it then if no Moderator or Administrator speaks up. Usually if someone is gone though their Avatar disappears.

Would that not start a fire in the produce aisle at the Southern Trace Shopping Center Publix? I saw no burn marks there?

Ok you guys... I have absolutely no idea who this VPL character is. I don't remember him from previous posts but then again, I very rarely post on here. But I just read all eleven pages of this thread and now I'm curious! And worried too! About a perfect stranger who could be fiction for all I know but worried still the same.

Always posted about eating a healthy diet & links about food & health issues. It created lots of controversy.

[gerryann]

He's definitely not fiction. He's a character all right, but real. I do wish he'd come back. I certainly didn't believe in ALL that he talked about, but I did find it very interesting. He did a lot of research that I was interested in.

[redwitch]

I'll be the first to say I truly do not like him, but even I'm getting concerned. I hope he is okay. If a mod or the admin knows how to contact him, I hope they do so and let us know how he's doing. VPL, if you're reading this, please let us know how you're doing. If you need anything, shout out.

[Cisco Kid]

Maybe he made a pot run to Colorado.
I sure hope we did not take his own advice.
He would likely self terminate if you needed modern medicine.
I for one am praying for your safe return village PL.

[Polar Bear]

Could he just be sitting back laughing his vegan butt off at this thread?!? :rolleyes:

Wouldn't that be like having a black hole in TV? Or matter and anti-matter colliding.

[Barefoot]

I always worry when one of our frequent posters disappears and we don't know why.
I still wonder what happened to Senior Citizen (from Vermont) and why she suddenly stopped her frequent posts.
I sincerely hope that VPL is OK. I hope he comes back soon, so I can continue to disagree with his views. :024:

Mystery solved. :o

[jblum315]

I dunno. I've seen Gracie many times. Have never seen VPL that I know Of.

[Villager Joyce]

I can't believe he is still missing.

[Taltarzac725]

I can't believe he is still missing.

My guess is that he must have someone watching his house as he deals with whatever personal is going on in his life. The neighbors surely would have noticed something amiss over three weeks time. We see whether we want to our not much of what happens at the homes across from us. I assume Villages PL's neighborhood is also like that as he seems to live in Belvedere. Some of those homes are kind of isolated. I have a friend from Doggie Doo Run Run who has occasional parties in Belvedere. There are homes in cul-de-sacs.

Still I am worried about our resident vegan and heavy library user. The librarians probably know who he is if he is an everyday patron. We used to chat about various library users when I was a volunteer at Palm Harbor and East Lake Community Libraries in Palm Harbor from 2000-2003. But you could not really invade a person's privacy unless for a very good reason like a medical emergency, crime, etc.

[redwitch]

Well, I called the Belvedere Library and talked to a very nice lady there. Unfortunately, she has no clue about anyone who uses the computer almost daily and is a vegan. She did say all of the staff there is relatively new, so there's no one she could ask about him. Not sure what else we can do to ask someone about him.

Actually V Joyce, he isn't missing, just not posting.
I know we are all concerned, but perhaps he is just taking a sabbatical.
Even though I know the posts on this thread are very well intended, I'm not sure VPL would appreciate people speculating about his whereabouts.
He lives in a patio villa with neighbors in very close proximity, so I'd think they would notice if anything was amiss.
Hopefully he will decide to join us again. If not, he may have found a Vegan Forum that is more in keeping with his beliefs.

[Polar Bear]

Actually V Joyce, he isn't missing, just not posting...perhaps he is just taking a sabbatical...
Totally agree. The assumption of "missing" is unwarranted. This is not intended to be uncaring, but I see no reason to assume anything bad. If some further information comes up, then concern may be appropriate.

[Villager Joyce]

Unnecessary to point out a bad choice in words. I'm out.

Thanks for doing that. There does not seem more that any of us can do as you also stated redwitch. He will get a big kick out of this thread when he comes back if he does.

Don't go VJ. You are such a great addition to this forum and so many times you have made me smile or shake my head yes. There was some tension a few days ago and I am pretty sure who was the innocent party and who was just stirring the pot.. When tempers flare, sometimes people get hurt. It really takes a lot of courage to post on here sometimes.

I have felt from day one that you have good common sense and a great attitude and a sense of humor and a kind heart. It is much nicer when you are here with us.

I think most of us will continue to worry. It's just not like him to be inactive this long.

If nothing else, this thread reminds us that we are important to those on the Internet. While it really isn't safe to give out a lot of personal information such as your real name, address and telephone number, a PM to a friend or a note saying you're taking a sabbatical for a week or two would be a kindness and appreciated.

I belong to several chat forums like this one. People often disappear. Sometimes they come back and sometimes we never hear from them again. Often when they come back, they say that they got busy with life or they just needed a break.

We have found that in some cases where they are in the minority opinion on some issues, they just get tired of arguing and try to stay away.

Or who knows, maybe VPL fell off the wagon and ate a piece of jerky.

Maybe he is visiting all the vegan restaurants of the world? That would take some time and lots of money.

[sunnyatlast]

I like him for how he sticks to his guns with his teaching, even though we roll our eyes at some of his postulates on diet being "everything".

Does anyone know his name and phone? I hope nothing has happened to him. It would be awfully boring here if everyone agreed BEER or GOLF is the answer to all our maladies.

[Villager Joyce]

Maybe he has moved to Colorado! :ho:

I suggested once that he move to the People's Republic of Boulder (Colorado), but it was one of the many posts removed by the powers to be. Maybe he saw it before it was deleted. I suggested his students would have to listen to him if they wanted to pass.

I actually think that he would be "delighted" that there were that many people who cared and were concerned about his well-being. It appears that he was often attacked directly for his views, but here there has only primarily been references to those posts. 16 pages of comments is a strong indication of the value that he apparently has contributed to this forum.

I don't think he would shy away from any debate.

If fact you guys can always argue with me I never get tired of it:boxing2:

On another thought I think the way several of the usual anti vegan jump all over the vegan life style has scared off a lot of people that would like to know more about.

Ice cream

news for those who live a dairy-free life: Ben & Jerry's is releasing a vegan ice cream next spring. According to the Telegraph, the company has been working on a new dairy-less ice cream and plans to use either coconut milk or almond milk as as base.

Co-founder Jerry Greenfield tells the paper, "In the US there are [dairy-free] alternatives from smaller companies but Ben & Jerry's will be first mainstream company that will do that and will also do it in a really delicious way." The company was apparently inspired to create a vegan ice cream after a petition asking for non-dairy options quickly gained 27,000 signatures.

So what other alternative Ben & Jerry's pints could be popping up in your freezer one day? In March, Greenfield and fellow co-founder Ben Cohen admitted that they would consider making a cannabis-infused ice cream. Cohen noted: "Makes sense to me. Combine your pleasures." Maybe one day the duo will create a vegan weed ice cream for the ultimate hippie treat.

I will definitely try the ice cream. We drink exclusively almond or cashew milk. I love ginger soy ice cream at Epcot. I bet I'll like it.

Soy ice cream has been around for a long time.

If I recall correctly, Jimbo, Carl Esselstyn advocates that you stay away from all synthetic meats made from soy. Would the same hold true for soy based ice cream?

I was thinking the same thing Bonny.
If I took an unannounced break, I wouldn't want anyone to start a "Where is Barefoot" thread.
Especially if people started to speculate about whether I had medical issues.
I realize all the posts have been meant in the kindest possible way, but in my humble opinion, I think VPL now deserves some privacy.
