And then I put in a comment and noticed the column of pink gingham.
You're not friends. You'll never be friends. You'll be in love till it kills you both.

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."
This might not be the healthiest way to deal with my grief, but if anybody is cycling back through Denial, I recommend going back and reading a thread from 2006 and voila! there are ita's words all over the place, clearly being very alive and very full of ita.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen
The JAR tribute is so great.
I would be happy to contribute howeverI can from the east coast--financially, additional organizing spoons towards the book, whatever is needed. Just let me know.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I'm Nilly-ing and I'm drumk, (I think ita would approve of my using Red Label to swish out this bottle of Mead) but .. gads I can't even read my own handwriting.
my first memorable exchange with ita was her putting me in my place.
I agree with Theodosia. I wish I could see every ita link I skipped over. I would click on them now.
I have no idea. My notes made sense at the time. I agate w/ that? Amy pa thwwthc? Pwac c thyrtc? Guat w ymmy? Gads ita. I thought I had more time.

Allyson, no one feels capable or thinks they're the appropriate person to deal with stuff in this situation. Please take care of yourself, too.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I was looking at something else and saw "what doesn't kill me isn't trying hard enough" ... and it struck me as so HER.

Frail my heart apart and play me a little Shady Grove
Where are my words? There's so much sadness and hurt and hilarious, stunning, wonderful memories in this thread. So much love. Even though I've been gone for so long, I read each name after the next and memories of you all come back. Buffistas saved my life too; I know you all understand. Each of you are all part of the Buffistas mosaic in my mind - it's quite beautiful - and ita's a nice pink gingham glowing in the middle.
Nilly, thanks for the email letting me know.
Wish I could hug you all for real.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We were just talking about how JAR is "one of ours", weren't we? He really sealed that deal.
