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.
Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

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.

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.

Actually, I think she liked it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Actually, I think she liked it.
She did because she was in UK in the 80s and it was such an 80s moment. In fact, it's really the only xmas song she liked.
