Damnit, I just went into Boxed Set to catch up on Doctor Who talk, and there were posts from Ginger. I can't believe we have to do this again.
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.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Our wings are not tired.
Ten days ago I had surgery and it was not a surprise that I was a big cry baby about the whole thing. Every day when I wince and have my little pity party I get flooded with the memory of what ita and Ginger endured daily for years. It breaks my heart that they had so much pain and suffering in their too short lives. That memory hurts more than the recent surgery, and I know it will last much longer.

A big, virtual hug is enfolding you, Laura.
A random click-bait trail led me to this this.
It's a note about how popular the name Ita is in Ireland.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Why does "Do They Know It's Christmas" remind me of ita? Is there any association, or do I just remember her posting about it?

Always Anti-fascist!
I don't know... "Every Kiss Begins With Kay" does, because she said "Kiss my ass does, too." But that one makes me laugh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I think I remember ita complaining about "Do They Know It's Christmas" being stupid and condescending.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I do too. It is.

Ha! That sounds right. Somehow I think of her when I hear it, and that must be why.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I do remember that.
Lately, I've been thinking of how much I would love to hear her reactions to the new Star Wars movie, regardless of whether she loved it or hated it.

I actually thought that, while I was in the theatre. I'd have loved her commentary, no matter what it would have been.
