I dont know how many Aussies are here but I need some help

[Wild_Dingo]

Today was about the worst of our lives as parents of children... we officially listed one of our eldest children as missing.

Ive set up a thread over here... http://www.woodenboat-ubb.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=3;t=002305

and here at the ubeaut woodworkers site...

http://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/showthread.php?p=203438#post203438

and now here the three forums I go to

We are in despirate need of some help from fellow Aussies in finding Melissa

If your in Kalgoorlie Boulder or the Goldfields region or over east please keep your eyes open for her and tell her to ring home 9726 1117

Thanks Frank for letting me do this mate I know its not usual and not in the theme of weekender stuff but Ive run out of options here, I leave for Kal in half an hour and dont return till Ive found her or at least know whats happened to her.

Hi Shane,

I also took the liberty to reprint your posting on another site. BYYB has some Aussie builders.

Absolutely not a problem Shane, and good luck in finding her. While all children grow up to become adults, parents always remain parents; all of us here who have children shudder at the thought of one of them turning up missing. We wish you guys the very best.

Okay... good news and not so good news

I left with my 25 year old nephew this morning taking him in the hope he could get into places and talk with people who wouldnt talk to an old phart... and we got as far as Meredin when I got a call from the female cop handling the case

They located Melissa this morning and "she is well and working"... so much for the good news

Now for the not so good... she refused to talk with me or say if or when she would be in contact or come home... and theres sweet stuff all I can do about it!... The cop refused to give me any information as "Melissa is an adult and we have to respect her wishes if she doesnt want us to know or doesnt want to talk with us then all the information they can give us is that she is well working"

So now Im home again and we have to simply twiddle our thumbs and wait for her to contact us

But the good news is shes okay

Thanks to all for your help good wishes thoughts prayers and love.

Shane Jody and kids

Glad to hear it Shane. I'm sure she'll get her head straightened out soon and give you a call.

Good afternoon Shane!

I sent you a PM.

If your daughter is "well and WORKING" don't you think that it is about time to stop twiddling your thumbs and wrap them around the keel on Weekender 3115? Can't have her working and you not.

I am happy for you and your family,

Tom

Yes Shane, I am glad to hear that she is alright. The worrying about kids never ends. My daughter seemed to straighten out at about 22-23, I am still waiting to see about my son.
