you missed out Solon, not knowing Monica, she was quite the woman

while she was in the hospital a thread was set up to help her [I can't find the link to the thread]

after she died, people, in trying to express their shock and disbelief, posted about her there, in some ways canonizing her - sometimes I would shake my head reading, for I couldn't conceive who they were portraying, certainly not Monica

she was no saint, she was all too human

she had been going through a very rough time in her life when she died

I admired the way she handled it, trying and usually succeeding in being positive

she was sassy, she was mischievious, she was earthy

she made mistakes

she was funny

she was very smart

she was strong, she was weak

she cared a lot about people, she gave them much

she was sexy

she was open, understanding, but drew her lines

in some ways, she was hurt easily

she forgave

she was trusting

she was real

she was a master flirt and loved flirting

she was lonely

she was a delight

she had heart

she was a good bs'er and caught many a 'smart' person who to this day don't know they were bs'd [I loved that about her]

she was only at SI a short time, a year or two and amassed more friends, more people who cared about her, than almost any SIer I know - and that is why JLA, Neo, Shootie, Cobalt Blue, E and others did so much for her when she was dying and after

that pretty much tells you who she was

despite what X says

she was well worth knowing

she was quite a woman

I assume it was deliberate that you used an example of saying things about living people when I was talking solely about saying things about a dead person.

That's the sort of twisted hate your mind is so used to stooping to. I doubt you can help yourself, though.

I am thoroughly disgusted with the dog and pony show that these two are
putting on.


Gee. When something disgusts me, I go away.

I suggest you try it.

Bye!
