Lee, thank you for the package. It made me cry, which I was expecting. The ankh is now on my altar, and the Death plushie is hanging out with the dolls in the bedroom.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...
'The Message'
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
There are things I need to do, like send thank you notes to the folks who contributed to the fund, a project I want to do with the Pink Gingham Dress, and finish shipping things.
No spoons. It's impossible to determine what ita would have wanted. I think about her every day, and get angry that the world is still spinning without her. I can't stand it.
I've been wearing her garnet ring, imagining it has some sort of superhero power to make me stronger. It's silly, magical thinking, but it helps.

Allyson, you have the shiniest hair.

No one expects thank you notes, truly. Take that off your list.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's what magical thinking is for, Allyson.
There's no time limit on getting any of that done.

Pix is right. No one expects thank you notes, no one who you would send a thank you note to would want to add to your stress by having you write thank you notes.
And magical thinking helps.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Allyson, your hair is very shiny, and I completely agree with Pix and Jilli.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Now I know why it's sunny here today: light glinting off Allyson's amazing hair.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thank you notes are for gifts.
That was more of a barn-raising. Whole different vibe.
The garnet ring will tell you this is true.
