Lost Hubbers
I know who she is and I haven't seen her on for sometime either.
Maybe all of us should send out e-mails to her to see if she is okay?You are right that she could be ill. Craig contacted Hubpages management and they will see what they can do, though they didn't make any promises but will think of something.
My s/o's brother who never missed a day of work with his engineering company in Texas, almost had his door knocked down by the police as his employers where deeply concerned he didn't show up or answered the phone. Turns out he had a day off and his boss forgot to write it down.
By the way, Tatjana is self-employed, makes a good income and depends on her income from her online health websites, reason why there is concern she does not even reply from there.
I think a lot of gov'ts are cracking down on any form of 'activism'
Canada is labelling 'protests' for Indigenous peoples as 'terrorism' 
and the only thing wanted is - being allowed to speak.
Hi WriteAngled,
I used an online translator for the email below: Could you let me know if makes sense? Don't want to inadvertently insult someone. LOL. The priest I contacted inquiring about her responded with a Facebook friend request but didn't reply to my email. I suspect he may not speak English as I thought. If he doesn't respond this time, then there is not an interest in replying and will not contact him again but will try other friends.
Here is the email:
"Hello, Please excuse the intrusion, but I am a friend of Tatjana in the United States and was wondering if you have heard from her. Would appreciate if you would let me know how our friend is as I am concerned that she has not been in touch in months with anyone. If she needs help, please let me know as to how we can help.
I have used an online Croatian translator, so please excuse any language mistakes. Any responses in your language I can translate into English with help. Thank you."
And got this:
"Pozdrav, Molim izgovor upada, ali ja sam prijatelj Tatjana u SAD-u i bio zadivljen, ako ste čuli od nje. Bih zahvalan ako bi me obavijestili kako je naš prijatelj je mene tiče da nije u kontaktu u mjesecima s drugima. Ako je potrebna pomoć, javite mi znati kako možemo pomoći.
Koristio sam online hrvatskih prevoditelja, pa vas molimo izgovor bilo kojeg jezika pogreške. Bilo odgovore na vašem jeziku mogu prevesti na engleski, uz pomoć. Hvala."
I'm from Croatia and logically I speak croatian the best
. If you need my assistance I'd love to help.See the new updates WriteAngled. I'll be calling them tomorrow. If they don't speak English, we have one other person that if fluent Croatian. Perhaps we'll do a conference call.
By the way, your almost talking to a colleague here. I happen to be the proud possesor of a high school GED.
Got another response and from the priest friend! Oh,dear... The online translator did not translate his text into English. We need help from our resident PHD.
He also sent this link in a second email:
www.aboutus.org
Ja isto koristim on line prevod ali sada ne radi . Pa cu odgovoriti cim budem mogao .
tenk you wery mac frends
( to je moj maksimum znanja engleskog )
Internet poznajem iako ne znam engleski bez obzira na text .Got another email just a few minutes ago, looks like Tatjana is fine!
I am waiting for her to get in touch.
HEY MARIE !!
As promised, I sent Tatiana a private message with a note to get in touch with you, I believe she received it. I'll remind her once again right away.
Tatiana and I, like many other Croats, are disappointed with the referendum outcome, as we believe Croatia would be better off independent from the EU, and we are convinced that both the EU and Croatian politicians manipulated the whole nation into joining the EU.
That's why I guess Tatiana is preoccupied with commenting this current issue (we exchanged a couple of comments earlier today), and perhaps even planning a follow-up.
BTW, I lived in Oklahoma for a year as a foreign exchange student, but never visited Oregon.
Say HELLO to the US for me, will you?
Best wishes & regards, Goran.Yes, I am waiting for an email from her and we have to keep in mind the time zone and the fact that she is super involved with her activities, so we may not hear as fast as we would like. I do anticipate hearing from her soon. I gained two new online friends from Croaita, how cool is that?
Craig, as mentioned in your hub, I am going to wait this week and see if she contacts me, if she does not respond by Thursday then I will contact her friend again and ask for her email. I don't like to be pushy, and he is one of the few who bothered to respond and don't want to push him away. He doesn't look suspicious to me in Facebook, he is just a young hippiesh looking guy with long hair. LOL. I don't think he has her phone number though as they are online friends even if they live in the same country. I will be on top of this though.
I am not the leader here. LOL.
I think he hopefully will reply today and by tomorrow due to time zones, I will have an answer. My feeling is he many not give me her phone number as he doesn't know me, and it's understandable, but he might give me her email. I took the chance in asking for both phone number and email as I have nothing to lose!
My credentials are not so exclusive, you know!
And when I get mad and let rip with choice words (specially at my computer), some would say I'm common as muck
Chess I've never got on with. Far too lazy to try and memorise all the openings and closings.

Anyway, sure I'll see you round the forums, now we've been introducedOne of these days, I may order your book, but not right now, as I am about to publish mine, which is a compilation of affirmative prayers and spiritual musings, and starting on a brain training program to help me hear better as I have difficulty hearing. I am looking forward to this experiment.
BTW, I checked her new FB page and I don't see your post. Did she remove it? Can you check and see if you can still see it from your end? Could be because I am not friends with her in her alternate FB page. However, I do see other postings from her friends.
This is from Tatjana, and I told her I would share this email and she added a little heart icon at the end... It is Tatjana alright, she always calls me Mary instead of Marie.
I admit, I have little tears.
Dear Mary, so nice to see you here...
Last months I was very much involved in political happenings here, so I did not have nor time neither energy for the other contacts ....(I am not getting younger) ....
As soon as I come home (I am now in hurry) I will contact you and the others.
Thank you so much for your love and kindness....I really did not excpect someting like that.Craig, The guy that looks like a priest to me, (at least in one Facebook photo, but I could be wrong), has shared the link tonight to your hub twice in his wall. It's getting around our Croatian friends. It made me smile because he seems nice and we sorta communicate by clicking "like" on each other's posts now and then (since we have the language barrier) We like the posts that are inspiring photos and speak for themselves. I clicked "like" on his link and left him a little heart so he understands what I am saying. LOL.
BTW, regarding your wanting to create a group to assist children and the needy, why not start a discussion in the forums, maybe this one?
It's late, 3 a.m., finished editing my manuscript for the fourth time, even after professional editing, but I am officially done. Yay.
Talk to ya all later...No Craig, I can't use the phone at the moment, but will in the future. See how optimistic I am!
A hubber called Tatjana had been out of contact in Hubpages, Facebook and Email. Some members here began to worry about her disappearance, as she is a political activist. She has made contact, however.
