Thanks to David for alerting those of us who have wandered afar that we needed to check in here. I haven't been around here for ages, but I keep tabs via Sumi and updates on Facebook. I cannot believe this news. I am so sorry for her family and for those of you who were closest to her. We all owe her so much for being so integral to keeping this family afloat for so long. Here is to ita, may she RIP.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thrive to spite them
I never got a chance to meet its in person but she has had such a profound influence on my life. Not just with the board and community but in other ways. I'm not articulate right now.
Rest in Peace ita.

Hey, I got logged in - Kristen, thank you guys for checking and doing everything you did.
I stuck somewhere between denial and the inability to process it at all.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh no. Shit.

Oh, damn. I'm so sad that we've lost ita. Kristen, I'm sorry you had to find her. And I'm sorry ita's life had such pain these last few years, and that it ended before a fix could be found.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This place without ita is unimaginable.
Unimaginable. I'm in complete and utter shock.
I don't believe in an afterlife, but if anyone deserves one, it's ita. I hope wherever she is right now she's kravving the living hell out of someone, just for fun.
