I hadn't checked in this morning until Dana texted me, and then I was filled with dread that something was wrong and immediately came to the board. I've been reading everyone's posts for the last half hour. I have a meeting in one minute and I'm trying not to cry because I'm an ugly crier, but oh, ita.
Slap my hand now!

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.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
And John Rogers, but if someone told Colin, then that's probably taken care of.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Love never dies. Sometimes it hurts like hell, but love never dies.

If I only had a brain...
Nilly, I think you should. I think it would matter to him to know.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I have to hope that Walt Whitman was right:
What do you think has become of the young and old men?
And what do you think has become of the women and children?
They are alive and well somewhere;
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death;
And if ever there was, it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it,
And ceas’d the moment life appear’d.
All goes onward and outward — nothing collapses;
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.

I haven't posted in years, but I do lurk, and I just need to say how shocked and saddened I feel about this news. She was such a presence on this board. Heck, she *was* the board.
I am so deeply sad for ita's family, and for all of you, who have been such wonderful and supportive friends to her for so many years.
Fly free, fierce spirit.

My new theory is that the board itself really loves poetry.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Tessera. I have no contact information for her at all. And none for Floyd Elliot.

I tried to shut down my computer and ignore my phone but I can't. I want to be here with you all.
