Today was Frandenbuddha's birthday. Gone far too soon. Tipping my imaginary bowler hat in memory.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of his old comments rolled up in my FB memories where he said he wanted to come out to SF to visit me and JZ.
Never happened.
It makes me a sad that we found out about Frank and Connie and DXM so late after the fact through obits and family comments on social media.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I had a dream last night about realizing I'd not seen someone online in a while, and all of us (not this community, but another) having the same realization, and trying and contact her and make sure she was okay.

Today was Ouise's birthday, so remember her and be grateful that she was a part of our lives.

I really enjoyed being her Secret Santa.

I thought I posted yesterday...hmmm...must not have hit post. I was thinking about Ouise a lot yesterday. It would have been her 50th.
The last time I saw her was about a month before she died, and it was hard for her to speak for long without needing to stop and take a breath. But she was still taking singing lessons! And that day she asked Anita and I to wait while she had her lesson. And through the door we could hear this strong, steady voice singing in Italian. It was truly the most amazing thing.

That is beautiful, Sue.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
This is a very odd remembrance, but many years ago I used to count the Buffistas votes. I set up google rules to put the yes votes in a tag, the no votes in a tag etc. I am trying to clean out my google email because it is just unmanageable so I anm going through tags and deleting, and I have one vote from Connie Neil left in my “Y” tag. And I cannot bring myself to delete it. She voted Y to the gaming thread on April 21 2008.

I get it. I come across comments in my FB history posts from Connie, DXM and Ginger. Always a bittersweet moment. But not unwelcome.
