After We're Gone.....

Yeah, I was doing a lot of thinking about this the other day,,,,,,
We've all watched someone on here just up and disappear.  Some only stay for a few days, until they get an answer to whatever is wrong that they need fixed.  Then there are a bunch of us that are on all the time and keep everyone, who is just sitting in the sidelines, laughing and enjoying life.
But what happens when we take that last tractor ride?
I got to thinking that there should be a spot in our 'Profile' where we could put a next of kin to get ahold of and see where so-and-so is at.
There are a LOT of guys that are so full of knowledge that we fall back on so often and never think about 'what if'?....
Some times someone who knew them personally will hear or see an Obit in the paper, buy what about the lone soles that don't live close or aren't close friends with us on here?
I think it's a good idea and I'd give my daughters & sons info for someone to contact them to ask if I'm in the hospital, dead or,,,,,,,,,,, God forbid,,,,,,,,,got rid of all my Allis stuff.
I know there are a lot of guys registered who don't give out any info and I often wonder why? 
It could be information that only the admin could get at if you're thinking about privacy..... thoughts?
What do you think guys & girls?  Would you do this? 

Ted there is a old saying, "The good die young"  Well I suspect you will be around for quite some time, now on the other hand I need to be careful, I could go any day.

Good idea Hubert. I quickly typed this up on how I get into the forum from scratch. I have it set up a little different for me.

There should be some way to let the forum know.  I knew a guy in SE SD and all the sudden he was gone.  It was a long time before I finally found out that he had passed.  That was back on the old forum.  He never got to see this fancy new forum!  Anyway I thought about leaving a note for my son  to come on and post what happened.

Plenty of folks on here (myself included) care what happens to you. Now if I kick the bucket you can jump right in with the rest of these ole goats and fight over all my junk.

I tolt my ole lady....oooops….I mean the loving wife, that when I kick off, to post on this forum that ya'll have first dibs on buying any/all my equipment first. and I spose if ya wanna live dangerously, someone can have dibs on her too! LMAO .

I'm sure if I typed up instructions for the wife after I'm gone she would take one look at it and feed the shredder then do her own thing. She's a keeper I tell you. 😆

John, I disagree with a lot of what you say, you pissed me off several times.....gees, that describes half my family, and I still love them!

Yes John, I would be saddened if you were to depart. I have said it on here before, life would be very boring if we all agreed all the time! Hang in there cupcake, I enjoy your company

I agree, I want to do something , if only have a name for all my stuff to go to .  My daughter thinks the answer is a big rolloff parked by the basement door and help to load it up however many times it takes to get rid of all my junk (her inheritance) .

Ya, STIR that pot!!!!

SO,,,,,,I'm thinkin I'm gonna have to come up with something that our spouses can look at after we is gone and IF they can follow directions,,,,,git a note to the administrators or Darin and say "NO more posts from (so n so), he croaked....

Gotta ask a lawyer if I can put that into my last words doc,,,,,,,,

Ted does make a good point.....as a competitive military shooter, I've written down names of those people that I trust to assist my wife in dispersing my match grade 'tools'. The same could be true with ACs. Although never having personally met them, I can already leave a note to my wife that she can contact Lon or Mike (mdm) if something happen to me. (Gut feeling tells me they're good people)(also depends on me finding my first AC.....might pull the trigger this weekend!) So although the forum is one thing, tending to the physical stuff is important too. An estate representative, one could go to social media sites and forums (usually found in 'Favorites' ) and post obits.
