What do you mean, am I for real? I don't post often but I am not in the habit of making things up for effect! Try watching the news or reading a newspaper!
The saddest one for me was a poster on here who I had come to know away from DS over the years and considered a friend. Was a great shock as I had only been talking to her on FB a night or so before.
Out of celebs Robin Williams was the one that touched me the most.

There was one similar for me, a poster on a different forum who I still spoke to on Twitter despite no longer being part of the forum. I somehow managed to miss hearing about her death when she died but was left reeling from shock when I heard a week later, honestly thought I'd misread.
Similarly a friend's partner was knocked down while cycling and tragically killed and when I heard I couldn't quite process the news.

Sorry to hear that. 2014 has been pretty bad for deaths associated with people personally known to me. A handful have lot parents this year and as I have already been through that once myself have ended up supporting them through it, which I do willingly because they are my friends. One friend lost both her parents to cancer within about 6 weeks of each other which was just awful.

Thankfully after a horrendous 2011 and 2012 we seem to have gotten off fairly lightly this year.
The friend's partner had me honestly reeling though. I was on holiday and happened to see a message on a Facebook page offering condolences to the family of a cyclist tragically killed, then scrolling further down and seeing messages to this girl offering sympathy. He's left behind 2 children under 2.
My Dad died three weeks ago. But of course I'm more upset about the celebrities we've lost.
Sorry about your Dad,
I had two brothers die suddenly within two months of each other this year. Yes I am more upset about them than people not known to me personally but I can still be sad about the celebs that I knew in the sense of enjoying their performances and feel sympathy for their families.

The question arises, what are you really angry about?..... get over yourself >:(

I get p****d off when posts are poo-poohed by people who disbelieve things I have posted! I am not up myself, I am one of the most laid-back people you could meet! See my posts on other threads.

i said are you for real as a term of being shocked i could well have used ''oh my god really'' or ''my god your joking'' but i used ''are you for real'' and then you got all arsey and turned it on its head as if it was a dig at you personally >:(

I apolosise for any misundestanding, I am an old lady & your comment was taken out of context! Please forgive me for any misunderstanding! I am an old fart! Mea culpa!
There are loads more ideas & opinions I could take issue with all over the DS forums but I button my lip (or freeze my thumb)! "Are you for real?" Has taken it's place in comments I should have risen above or not have taken too seriously in the first place. Merry Christmas (or Happy Holiday if you prefer)

Yes that was sad as was Philip Seymour Hoffman.

That's alright then. I would hate to fall out with anybody over a stupid post on DS
