What happenned to Scottmando?
 

Hope he's alright. Hadn't seen his post lately.

I don't know. Hopefully he is just busy.

Was that how he spelled his ID....I get nada on a search. So many folks come and go....usually I don't realize they haven't posted until an old thread is revived, etc.

Hopefully all is well....

edited: It's scottmandue.

He worked at the museums by Exposition Park. Met him a few times. I know he was close to retirement. I have his number, I'll text him.

What did we find out? I realized this week that he went missing when reading threads with some of you other prime LA examples.

I texted and called his number but no response

Looking at his post history he was very active (the usual) until Late August 2019 and then nothing until a couple last posts on 11/23. This patterns gives me some hope that he is okay and just stopped posting, maybe after retiring and moving which would explain a new phone number too.

Fingers crossed.

I don't think there ever was a time where I looked at his screen name, and did not hear this song .

Hope he's o.k. Cool guy.
Its been nice seeing a few regulars who were not around for a while poking their heads back in .

Sure hope he is okay. He lives in San Pedro, maybe someone else knows him better. Isn't Milt/Zeke from close to there? Hopefully he just moved and had enough of this place. It DOES happen.

He's cool and doesn't get into it with people. I like that about him. I though he was retiring from the science center. Hope he's ok and jsut tired of our dumb asses

His username is "scottmandue"

Last post was: 11-24-2019, 11:36 AM but his last activity was 02-11-2020 08:26 AM.

I really hope he's OK.

I seem to recall that he might have been facing some medical procedures too... best wishes!

A hiatus from this place is good for the soul .... particularly for those who've been here "forever" imo. Think my longest was over a year....

But here I are :D...

Indeed, when I see this place is taking too much of my time up, I take long breaks from it. I do not do social media (deleted Zuckenbook and Twitter) I poke through a couple of forums and move on now.

If he is not on here, he is probably having a very productive life.

Same here Fred :). I usually have JS disabled....didn't see the link/song until now tho'....

I liked his avatar...

Yes, I'm not that far from San Pedro but I never had any personal contact with Scott. I just remember that he lived in a condo and indeed was close to retirement. I think he casually mentioned getting the hell out of SoCal when the time came.

Craigster how about sending him a PM? He might receive an email .... that's how another Pelican contacted me earlier this year when I took a break. Otherwise... he's AWOL for his own reasons imo... folks take a break or leave for all kinds of "real life" reasons and changes and he knows where we are...jmho.

....he'll be back....hopefully :)

Good idea on the PM. The fact that he had checked in after posting again is a good sign. My bet is he moved to OR where his wife was from and found something better to do than PPOT. :D

It is strange that you'd change your number though even when you move these days. Unless something happened where he needed to do a reboot in terms of people being able to contact him.

^^^ He might have had a work issued phone & number. If one of my best friends of 35+ years gets fired .... I'll have no clue how to call him ;).

Scott will be back .... like a moth to the flame :)

News of my demise has been greatly exaggerated!

Yes, retired and thus have not been online much because at work I had my computer on eight/nine hours a day and I could check in on my breaks ;)

Am I okay? No not really.

As sometimes happens in retirement my drinking ramped up, prompting my wife to move out (and take a bunch of stuff with her) AND file for separation.

Being a mature adult I went on a bender and drank so much it literally made me sick, I went all Howard Hughs and didn't shave/shower/change my cloths for a week (I'm a shower twice a day kinda guy).

I tried to check myself into a hospital but of course couldn't get a bed because of the virus situation. So I had to detox at home... alone... (Weeeeeeeeeeeeeee) shaking, sweating and throwing up for a couple days.

Doing better but not great, trying to keep busy.

Sorry I didn't respond to texts, I'll check my profile and see if my phone number is current.

Thanks for thinking about me SmileWavy
