I am filling in for Laura today to mark ita's day of birth this year. Loved and missed still and always by so many people.
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

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.

Swouncing
Sorry for ignoring ongoing conversations, but last year I was grateful to be able to participate in the lovely Zoom event that ita's sister has arranged in honor of ita. Towards the end of the Zoom event, she mentioned how she'd be interested in reading some of ita's writing from this board.
So I've gone over the old GWW threads, and collected her drabbles. She was such a wonderful writer, evoking senses and emotions in such a few words.
I've e-mailed the links to ita's sister, but I think they should also be here.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
How thoughtful, Nilly! What a lovely resource.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
I looked at a few, but also bookmarked the page for some other time. Thanks, Nilly.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thank you, Nilly. I remember some of them, probably not word for word but pretty vividly. Being able to get to the actual posts quickly will be a nice treat
