PoserDirect is Closing Down
- Thread starter mrsparky
- Start date
They are COMPLETELY different...not to mention different genders.
Sparky (Philospher's Egg and CA here who has collaborated with HW on the HW Dog) is female
MrSparky (PoserDirect) is a male...
And then there's SparkyJones who is a Poser cartoonist. Oh and my grandson's nick name is Sparky as his middle name is Spartacus.
I hate to sound like a vulture, or a funeral director,
I find usually there isn't a difference Though gotta say this one has been great, my family has used them for 2-3 generations and never any complaints.
Though as my friend said last time, when going to their house and finding they "work from home", most people have gnomes in their garden not a hearse with occupant!
Seriously though as mum died unexpectedly at a care home and that meant coroners and cops. It really complicated things, yet these directors didn't charge any more and kept us in the loop.
but is that when you are closing the store?
Roughly - that's when the PD hosting is up for renewal, though that host is generally pretty good. They usually give sites a week or two before swinging the axe.
Sparkyworld will stay up and as someone has offered to host the freebies, I'll just edit those pages then.

Losing a mother is difficult but slightly more so when there is no real warning, My sympathies are with you and the rest of the family.

As someone who has lost their mother, Hornet, I will tell you that the pain subsides over time, but unless there's something wrong with me, You never stop missing them.

Having lost both my parents a few years ago now I would agree with that, even now if I hear a similar voice or see someone with a similar mannerism the memories come flooding back. I think the biggest shock for me was waking up a few days after my mother past away, which was a few years after my father, and realising I was now an orphan.
My dad passed in 1981, my mom in 1993, and my brother just 10 years ago in June, so yes it takes quite a while, but it does indeed get easier with time.
Alisa, you were still a teenager when you lost your parents? That really had to be tough. I was already in my 30's, and living on my own for 8 years, when my dad passed.

I was in my 30s, and taking care of them in their final illnesses, when mine passed. Not really on my own, as I was living with parents, but was taking care of them. (But then inherited the house.) They were very elderly by that time. (Yes, I was a *late* child.) And they were very ill. So death was no surprise to anyone. I think I mourned more the mother I had before her stroke (which took her mind), then having her die.
One several years before I was in my teens, the other just before I was 19. Yeah, definitely tough.

I was very lucky to have been middle aged by the time I lost my parents so I had many years of happiness. They left a family with members in UK, Poland and Canada but we remain as close as present day life and distance allows. I was also lucky I had my wife at the time who saw me through the hardest moments. Now, with her own mother in her late seventies and her father in his mid eighties, I know the chances are I will have to provide the same support for her but I hope there are a few good years to go yet. The only plus is we managed to sort things so she can retire early and as they live locally we take every opportunity to spend time with them that we get.
My heart goes out to all who have lost parents and close family and particularly while those who were young at the time it happened. My mother was ill for a long while before she died but at least found final peace in a very well run hospice. I have found over the years that the memories of the bad times fade, the pain eases and good the memories remain close.

Yes, at that young age it's really tough. My dad passed a month after cataract surgery, as he had developed pneumonia on the operating table, so it was totally unexpected. Back then it wasn't possible as an in-office procedure. My mom, however, had 2 CHF episodes during 2 years before she passed, and had been in the hospital for a month after the second one, and then a nursing home for a month. She passed shortly after I brought her home. I lived a short 10 minute drive from her, so I was always there when she needed me, but she was a very independent woman, and didn't want me moving back home after my dad passed, or after she had her first CHF episode.

That is so sad, I remember my mother telling me on an almost daily basis that she did not want to become a burden and she never did.

Being young when a parent dies is both a blessing and a curse. I speak from the experience of someone who lost my father when I was just a baby. I have no pain of his death, but I have no memories of him either. I probably should see a shrink. It's amazing how his not being here for me affected my whole life.

I'm still confused. MISTER Sparky is male??? But Just plain Sparky is female????

THAT part I got. Just confused on which was which. I think I got it now. I think I named BOTH of them MR. Sparky in the Directory, so I have to sort that out.
