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.
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.
So chuffed about the J. August post.
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.
We were just talking about how JAR is "one of ours", weren't we? He really sealed that deal.
Oh, katefate! So happy to see your pixels!
What JAR tribute? I can't find it!
So because of ita's influence I started taking kickboxing classes. I had been interested and I read that Allyson was taking them and other Buffistas but I really wanted to be able to do Krav because of ita's love for it.
I had to stop because of health issues and I never started back when my health stuff got better. Now I can't find kickboxing classes around here and I'm terribly out of shape.
I loved doing it though. I loved kicking and punching and when an instructor would come by and correct my form. I liked kicking the pads and bracing myself when someone was kicking me when I was holding the pads.
I got to find a way to do it again.
