I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

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.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I just added a link to the start of the original Natter discussion in this thread's description. When I clicked "Update", I got the message, "Thread creation failed. Please find a developer and kick them in the nads." Despite my thinking about ita almost constantly over the past 27 hours, despite the thread's name and my reason for altering its description, there was a millisecond where I thought to myself, "I'd better report this to... oh... yeah."

Unrelatedly (if anything in this thread can really be unrelated), like DX, I also have a bottle of ita grape soda. I never opened it and over the past few years I've often thought of tossing it. I'm so glad now that I didn't.

So, those of you on FB know that last year I bought a coffee press and a grinder, and started drinking fresh ground whole bean coffee at home. This morning, it feels particularly ita-ish. I don't know how she prepared her coffee, but I've come to be very specific about how I prepare my coffee.

At some point too, I need to try some real Blue Mountain beans.

You do, Sean. And when you do, remember that whatever Blue Mountain beans you have gotten hold of, they are probably not as good as what ita could have gotten. But still damn good because Blue Mountain.

As I recall, she didn't even drink coffee, just smelled the grounds.

It's an amazing smell. Even when I'm using crap beans for budget reasons.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I still have a little bit of Blue Mountain a friend brought back from Jamaica for me.

I had a near-tea emergency yesterday. ita would have been able to help.

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

Many years ago, ita's mother sent me two huge bags of Blue Mountain. It was amazing.

“Not dead yet!”

I was flipping channels on TV last night and Serenity was on one of the Cinemax channels. It's like even the TV knew.

Steph, thanks for posting that link, I'd forgotten all about her Flickr feed. So many beautiful photos of her, I'm totally going to download them all.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

Excellent. When we have something for her family, perhaps we should remind her sister about that Flickr account, in case she forgot it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I am looking through old threads, just found:

ita, did you see the naked wet man I linked to?

That was a post from Tommyrot. And of course that is something we post.
