Mainly I don't want remembering and mourning Ginger to get tangled up in Natter and either people miss things or feel they can't natter.
I really fucking hate we need a memorial thread for anyone but I think we need something dedicated.

ita was so antibthread proliferation that she'd probably be for combining them but I don't want to be disrespectfully there either.

Right now I feel like we are going to be remembering Ginger in Natter, Bitches, ita's thread, and other threads, as we do. I don't think we need to gather the posts in one place as much as we did for ita. Part of the reason for that thread was to collect memories for her family.
Mostly I just wish we didn't have another painful loss to discuss at all.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Anybody have a handy link to the "likes carrots" explanation?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
hmm. I could have sworn it was in the FAQ but ctrl +f give me no carrots.

Probably not the first, but there is a number of posts discussing Bob's love of carrots in the Natter 9 archive. Starting with post #129. Warning!! Natter 9 is filled with feels.

Ooops. Just did that "Bob likes carrots!!" thing, didn't I?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Laga, I did the same thing, and was surprised, because I would have SWORN it was in there.

I'm pretty sure I'm the genesis of that one. It's the phenomenon often seen when someone has a new SO and they can't stop talking about him/her, and use any excuse, no matter how tenuous, to keep talking about him/her. So if someone mentioned they cooked carrots for dinner, the newly smitten person would pipe up with "Bob likes carrots!"

Gosh, I wouldn't try to take credit for someone else's idea, but it's been so long that I might have forgotten. I wouldn't know where to look to find the origin, so I'll let it go.
