On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

ita's thread

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I was thinking about the weekend of July 18-19 if that sounds okay to everyone.

Well, it would be my birthday on the 19th, so there's that. :)

I'd be happy to go into a houseshare with folks.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Dang, this one [link] says it can sleep 14 for $500/night (which breaks down to...not a lot; I can't do math in my head). Even if only 10 people shared it, it would still be $50/night (I can do math in my head when it's dividing by 10).

(I love vrbo. I have no financial stake in them; I just had such a good experience using them that I pimp them when possible.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I would totally be up for and into a group rental, as long as Buffista sprog were okay (or, if not, maybe the sprog-having travelers could get a space of our own or camp out with sprog-having localistas?).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

A group rental sounds great.

Compassionately intolerant

Oh. Oh. Oh. I want to do this so much...which, given my 'haven't traveled at all since 2000'-ways...really means something.

My imagination does not stretch that far, given that I may be moving soon, but gosh, if it were even remotely possible, I'd be on it.

That looks and sounds awesome! Count me in.

Yes, house-sharing sounds great.

I would most likely be up for any/all of the above.

Our wings are not tired.

Yes! I have no objections, and in fact am rather fond of, the sprog.

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

I love the house sharing idea. Looking at the number of beds/bedrooms at that link I'm not quite sure how they come up with 14 though.
