This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Dawn ,'Never Leave 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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I believe she did. I think velvetedge.com was down as of 1/23, when we tried to access that email account.

Sigh. Little bits, blinking out.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Was it dreamhost all her hosting was through? Did she use that for domain registration as well?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Both thevelvetedge.com and provocateuse.com (which is still up) are registered with domaindiscover, which is now tierranet, apparently. The thevelvetedge registration will expire on May 6th, 2015, while provocateuse won't until October 27, 2018. So the domains are fine, for the time being. But the hosting accounts will run out sooner.

I downloaded one page (entities.htm) from the velvet edge that I use a lot, so I will post that up to my server in case anyone else needs it (just as soon as I remember how to do ftp). Unfortunately, that's all I've got.

Okay, one tiny little bit blinking back on...

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

Thanks, DX. That's not even something I'd ever have occasion to use, but it's hers and it's good just to know you've rescued it.

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

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I failed in my goal to get all of ita's stuff in the mail by yesterday (work has been kicking my behind this week), so please don't worry if you haven't gotten things yet even though other people have.

For those of you who want to send me postage (and honestly, I am not sure the mail room is charging me for everything, so no worries if not), my profile address is also my paypal address.

Our wings are not tired.

Thank you, Lee. I did get my package yesterday at the office, but waited until I was alone to open it in case of sniffles.

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

I've wondered about her Flickr accounts. My understanding is that up to 200 photos can be displayed for free and that larger accounts won't be deleted for non-payment, but only 200 photos will be viewable. ita_ita_ita should be okay but serenada has 1310 public photos. Is there another account I'm not remembering?
