I’ve always liked Natasha Richardson’s work, and she always impressed me as a likable and lovely person who was obviously very much in love with her husband (and who wouldn’t be) and kids. I guess, in part because celebrity was hers at birth, she always had a calm about her that was refreshing. Several obits I read mentioned her “luminous” persona, and I have to agree. Her sudden death was tragic, and my thoughts and prayers go to her family and friends.
Celebrities seem to have it so good, and their lives in front of the camera make their personal tragedies public, something that doesn’t happen to most of us, but their grief and sadness is something we all know and recognize in our own lives. I was saddened when Princess Diana died, although I never gave her much thought, and I am saddened now. My own mother died suddenly, on an ordinary day, and I know the shock and disbelief that accompanies the event. My most sincere condolences go into the universe for them.
cobble- I HATE when I am at my most brilliant, only to destroy it all with one slip of the keyboard. I meant gray. Apologies to Gary, tho’ I don’t know him 🙂
DIBS- NOOOoooooooooo………they didn’t??!!! Very very rare animal.
“One of the reason I get along with Cobblehiller is we has born and raised in Brooklyn. We (from our perspectives) have experienced the good and the bad of New York. Most of the posters at Brownstoner never saw the Dark Side of New York City. My fear is when things get bad, the retards are going to flee bringing down the hood”
There were hard times all over the city- not just in Brooklyn. You have no idea what most of us have or have not seen or lived through- that’s an assumption on your part. The Bronx was no picnic either, you know. As much as I love Brooklyn I don’t find that a qualification for being better than everyone else. And if things get tough, I’m not bailing on my neighborhood.
People like DIBS, wasder, me, MM and many others moved here because we love it- I have no trust fund. MM? Her loyalty to Bed-Stuy and CHN is far beyond anyone I can mention. SO what if she wasn’t born and raised in Brooklyn- what a ridiculous dichotomy. how many years should she be here before you accept her as a fellow Broooklynite? I chose to live in Brooklyn most of my adult life. I think that more than qualifies me to be a Brooklynite too.
Hey, I left Brookyln! Some of us had to cause we’d been priced out by asshats!
I’m kidding, about the asshats, not about having to leave.
Did you look at the pics of that house yet? So pretty and it’s one block from an enormous park.
true. has anyone ever been or lived somewhere where it’s nothing but townies? gack. no offense to any brooklyn townies here or anything
*rob*
There is one thing worse, rob. Being a “townie” in Albany, we absolutely detested all the obnoxious New Yorkers coming up to SUNY!!!!!!
