It's nice to hear about someone who wants to do something nice and doesn't feel the need to brag about it on social media. It still happens whether you report it or not. Humility is really hard to come by these days. God Bless Chris Martin!
She was one of a kind. I recently read about the time a producer sexually assaulted a friend of hers and Fisher sent him a box with a cow's tongue in it! and a note that said "if you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box". Ha! Love her. RIP Carrie Fisher.
This isn’t surprising to hear at all. Robin Williams seemed like a wonderful person. It’s a shame that sometimes the most sensitive, empathetic people don’t seem made to live in this world. 😢
I'm not on twitter but Margaret Cho did this for me when I had gotten laid off very suddenly from my work during the .com crash. Sweetest thing ever.
I would love to meet Hugh Jackman, he seems like such a warm and down to earth guy.
I imagine ~~~~~~ that a moment of normalcy duos as comfort soul~food for those who have crossed over to the #LimeLite# ...ultimately to lose this lovely bytheway idle time-line connection with other folk ...........
That made me tear up!! I hope you are no longer lonelt. I was one of those little girls, too.
That's so weird! Same thing happened to us on a DofE walk back in the late 80's, but that time it was Rod Stewart :)
Sinbad flew through DIA in the late 90s quite often and I worked in the United Customer Service terminal. He always called out to me and teased me and made me feel special. He was so nice!
Zachary Quinto talked to me for 10 minutes and then remembered my name and my wife's name when we said goodbye. We were blown away by that.
I'm not tired of sexual harassment allegations. I'm tired of sexual harassment full stop. So as long as it exists, I'm ready to listen to every single victim coming forward.
Yep - I was thinking the same. While these are sweet stories to hear, tough s**t if it makes you uncomfortable to hear about the s****y sexual harassment stories. It's quite offensive to the victims - "shush now we only want to talk about good stuff now because the other stuff makes us feel crappy". F**k that - flood gate is open. Open your ears, minds and hearts.
