Long story short. I am a member of an on line group, we have all been part of this group since 1998. One particular member, "A" hasn't been seem for quite some time. A new member, B, joined a few weeks ago and said she joined because this other member had mentioned it. She told us that A had suffered some sort of brain infection and was now in a nursing home, unable to speak or communicate in any way. She would never be able to go back home and just sat and stared into space all day. It was very sad, and this sort of thing.
Everyone was very concerned and saddened, we all liked A.
Well, someone e-mailed me tonight and told me they suspect that A is the one posting. I am an administrator on the site so I went and checked the new member B's e-mail address and lo and behold, it IS A!
I am torn between laughing and being angry. A liked to spin a tale and get people going...but this seems too much.
So, I posted a made up story saying how a talk show is flying the other manager and myself and one other member to meet A in person, as part of a tv program about the importance of internet for disabled persons. I made up a bunch of malarky, thanking members for the donations for the flowers we will "surprise A with.
Now this new person (Aka A) has posted about A's miraculous recovery!
I kid you not.
I will delete my post, I just wanted to mess with her for a few minutes.
