I would personally like to thank all of you for your insensitive remarks, jokes, accusations etc. regarding my concern about my brother.
If ANY of your were in this situation, no matter how much we may spar, debate and talk sh*t about each other here... I would never say some of the rude, insensitive remarks that I've seen here in the last couple of days.
The Everett police have asked me to hold out hope that he may have just taken off (he's retired), since his vehicle is missing as well. Sometimes we would go one or two months without calling or visiting one another, but---he would ALWAYS return my phone calls - which he hasn't done for almost 3 weeks. His phone goes straight to VM (like it is off?). I sent him a couple of letters pleading with him to call or let me know he is OK, to no avail, yet. We were not super close, but we never fought or had any issues with one another, so there is no reason that I can see for him to ignore my attempts to hear from him.
Again, if any of you were in my shoes, I would show a little, or lot - of sensitivity and empathy --- if you were in my shoes.
I am cooperating with the authorities, and if you really doubt me, you can bother my boss Ann at Speakerlab in Seattle, as she has seen what I have been going through recently.
Why am I working? I am the only full time employee, and and I can't be canvassing WASHINGTON state looking for him. He lives quite distance North of Seattle in a small town, and the police and State Patrol are aware of the situation.
Again thank you for your consideration. I have a lot of good pals here, and some - not so good, I'm finding out.
I hope none of you have to go through this sh*t, and my hope is I'll get the call that he is on a tropical beach, somewhere and had to "get away" for a while.

Later
Stop sending me private messages.
Here is a short little recap of what happened this week. Sometimes i wonder if you are capable of remembering what you say so here goes....
Here you post about how unusual this is and how you reported your brother missing.

Reported my brother missing. Have not been able to contact him or receive any messages or texts in 2 weeks. Left several voice messages..."Please call etc." --- Finally had the police go check on him. He wasn't around, car gone, neighbors have not seen him. Very, very unusual.
Here 3Pedal asks you to post some information so that someone may be able to help.

Bruce,
Post a picture or send me one, I will be in Seattle for a few days.
Typing this from a 4 hour delay at San Jose Airport.
Your next response in this thread ignores both of them and goes on to tell yet another far fetched story.

We have a restroom out in our shop area. We let our customers use it, and on occasion, a random person will ask to use it.
On the way to the restroom is a refrigerator, that we stock with waters, and beers.
Day before yesterday, we stocked up on 6 really nice craft-beers... We usually pound a beer or two around closing time, lets us vent about the day, and have a few laughs etc..
Yesterday this woman (about 60 or so), came in, and asked if she could use the restroom... I said, uh sure. (We usually only let customers use it, but I figured she must really need to use it).
She goes out into our shop area and goes to the rest room.
I get stuck on the telephone, and she seemed to be in the restroom for a while.
Out of the corner of my eye, she left, carrying her fairly large purse, walking quickly. SHe was kind of wierd, so I didn't think much of it. She didnt even say thanks or aknowledge me... she just kind of darted out of the showroom, head down, no eye contact.
So as I'm getting ready to shut things down yesterday, I go to the fridge to grab some cold ones for my boss and I.
WHAAAAT??? Where are the beers we got yeasterday???? MY Boss: DId you drink em? Me: Hell no!
... That lady swiped our beers! Ha ha ha I would have never guessed she would have done that. She looked like a typical librarian -or granny.
Damn! Can't trust anyone.
NEW POLICY / No Public restroom!
3 Pedal asks you what gives...why are you ignoring him...why aren't you trying to help him help you.

Uhm.....is your brother found? This would be the least of my worries let alone I wouldn't even be into work and would be out doing everything I could to find him... WTF man it would be the most f****d up thing to lie about this if this is yet another BS story. I hope for your sake it's true but if it's not clear out your lie and go crawl somewhere else....this is getting rediculous man...
BTW why is there no alert or post about your missing brother on FB?!?! All I see is a post about Donald Trump. This had better not be a lie man...
Your next response ignores him and you post about yoga pants. You want to know what i think? i think you read the earlier post from 3 Pedal about wiring up a yoga studio and i think your brain fabricated a scenario that puts you in the middle of a story about yoga pants. I will bet you read about a burst water pipe at some point too.

There is a community fitness center next to our place, Totally slammed all day long, each class has about 35 - 40 people... a constant parade of painted on yoga pants,non stop walking by & C.T.'s. When I'm talking to a customer at the counter, my eyes wander off... Cant help myself.
Your butt hurt...i get it. But please don't act like everyone is pulling this out of their @ss. Your behavior invites it.
Sorry but if my sibling were missing i would walk away from my life and assist with search and rescue and when everyone else gives up i would be out there wearing holes in my shoes until i found them. I sure as hell wouldn't be taking time to post about funny beer theft and yoga pants.
