it's that time of year when I would threaten to send you a full-sized fuzzy costume and you hated it and me for it, and I wish you were still here to get angry at me being stupid.
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.
At least it would've been pink. She'd have liked that part.
I went on Facebook today and had one of those "Friendsiversary" messages from FB: 9 years ago Ginger & I friended on FB.
Oh, honey, I'm sorry. I occasionally get messages from Linked In suggesting Ginger as a contact. Hurts every time.
Can Linked In just stop that shit? The main reason I never signed up for it is the unrelenting flood of suggestions for contacts. I didn't want to see it mine my contacts and flood their emails as well.
It felt more bittersweet to me. . . the universe (or at least FB's version of it) has not forgotten her.
But really FB: figure out a protocol for this situation already!
I've actually wondered if we should notify some of the online things of their deaths.
It's pretty easy to do, actually. I did it for B.C. (omnis). Very hard emotionally, but pretty easy logistically.
Periodically, when someone drives down the street with music playing at full blast, I'm reminded of ita's suggestion to train squirrels that when that happens there's a yummy treat in the car ... I even saved her comment on the anticipated result: "annoying people getting attacked by ravening squirrels is really fucking funny".
I need to get into Hubby's Facebook and set it to memorial. It can probably wait another 4 years.
