Ward was 3 years older than me. I email someone every morning with an email that is titled Up. No deep discourse. Just a sentence saying what I plan to do that day. They either send or reply to me with the same. If we have not heard from each other by 11:00 we try text. If that does not work we contact their local police and ask for a welfare check. I also send a daily meme to another person. I may ask if they care to get in on the scheme.
There are paid services that basically do the same thing. > On Oct 15, 2024, at 09:48, Sellam Abraham via cctalk <cctalk@classiccmp.org> > wrote: > > I think it's worth noting that Ward's body wasn't found until apparently a > couple days after he passed.
