Didn’t know her, but certainly knew of her, and I’m sure I’ve dropped a few 3.Hi Opal’s in my time here. Reading this thread, I wish I did get to know her.
Rest in Peace. Condolences to her family and friends.
My sympathy to OpalCat’s family. It’s a struggle to make it through something like this in one piece, and I wish them the best.
The one memory that keeps coming up is that “buckeyes” contretemps.
I never forget the necklace, where she was trying to put her wedding ring around her neck so she wouldn’t lose it.
Condolences to her family and friends.
Yes the buckeyes and the necklace threads were very entertaining…wish I had a third…
Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.
Damn
I don’t believe I ever interacted with Opal, and obviously don’t know her, but she was one of the reasons I joined to use the search engine to figure out the basis of
- Hi Opal!
It was a simple thing but it put a smile on my face reading the origin. She seemed a sweet and caring person.
Thoughts and prayers to her family and friends.
Condolences to all those who knew her here at the Dope.
Sorry to hear this. I never really knew her, unfortunately. Condolences to her family. 
Can I ask a quick question, though? What’s up with the 3 thing?
Fitting weather here for goodbyes…
- Goodbye, Opal.
She had a thing about two-item lists.
AGes ago, Opal insisted that lists should have a minimum of 3 items. So if one of us posted a list with two items we’d end it with…
- Hi, Opal!
And there you go.
Man, she’s even the one who hosted us in The Winter of Our Missed Content 10+ years ago over at fathom. I sent her some Tull books in thanks for that.
The leather thread?
Ah, ok. Thanks
Goodbye, Opal. May you find peace.
I never interacted with her but followed her posts and checked out her website over the years.
I hope she’s now in peace.
My sympathy to her family.
I am so shocked and saddened by this news. Rest in peace, dear OpalCat.
My deepest condolences to Opal’s friends and family. She made me smile many times.
Well that’s a kick in the pants. I’ve never gotten into the board drama very much over the years, and didn’t hang out in MPSIMS all that much, but this board’s character and identity owe OpalCat a great deal.
