She was the original brat and any possible silliness or prank you could think up, she'd probably already done it and ten times better at that. I think she may have trademarked the term "throwing someone under the bus" because she sure was good at that. She was always willing to run you over... err... help you out. Lol. One of my first spankings was partly due to her hiding an item I was supposed to be carrying around and then got spanked for not having. And so it began!
You couldn't be around Pinky for long without laughing about something, whether it was exchanging jokes or her hilarious Hello Titty t-shirt. At this past April's SCONY weekend, I remember a bunch of us were hanging out on the porch just talking. "What's the difference between a dog and a cat?" she asked. "What?" I said. "When you call a dog it comes. When you call a cat it takes a message and gets back to you later." We all laughed and then she shared her markers so we could write something on our nametags that would get us in trouble later.

Sorry to hear about your friend Lea.
Thank you for the beautiful tribute to Pinky. I will always remember her sarcastic sense of humor. She enjoyed making me laugh at the most inappropriate times!
Pinky will always be with us in spirit; she has that kind of lasting effect.
Huge hugs, Lea -

Lea,
Beautiful tribute to a great friend. Thanks for all the wonderful memories you shared. Pinky was always willing to talk at chat when I used to be able to get there.

@Ana, Thank you. *hugs*
@Susie, Thank you.
@Marne, What better times are there to laugh than inappropriate ones? ;-) If you are there Sunday, please give everyone a hug for me. *hugs*
@sarah, Indeed it is. Thank you.
@Jean, I didn't realize you knew her. Friendliness was definitely one of her most noticeable traits.
I just read this post, Lea, and hadnot to comment. I visited Pinky at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center on the Sunday before she left this life. It was sad to see her so ill, not fully conscious, but somehow those of us who were there that day felt she was aware of our presence. We took turns sitting with her, holding her hand, stroking her arm, talking with her. Before we left, I kissed her cheek, told her I loved her and touched my forehead to hers. I also told her I loved her tattoo, the one on her head, of a stick figure pushing a lawnmower. That was Pinky's indomitable spirit. It chemo takes your hair, then make a joke and don't dwell on the loss. She was the very fist person I met "in person" at the very first SCONY weekend back in 1999 and I will miss her this Oct, and every April and Oct hereafter. She was a special person, one of those rare individuals who fully believed in "live and let live". So ironic that she was taken from us so soon...
@Kathy, She had an amazing spirit. I'm sure that many will show up this weekend to show their love for her. *big hug*
