tazinib1 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 We lost a great deal of talent in 2011. Some of the names I was shocked to see as I either missed the report or it didn't click. Pete Posthlewaite -- you know him from The Usual Suspects as the laison to Kaezer Soze. Jack LaLanne -- I thought he'd live forever Len Lesser -- better known as Uncle Leo on Seinfeld Jane Russel -- one of the first Hollywood heartthrobs Nate Dogg -- died of a stroke...great talent Michael Gough -- Batmans butler Elizabeth Taylor -- mega star and a beautiful woman in her hay day Jackie Cooper -- Superman Daily Planet editor and a child star from the 20's Randy "Macho Man" Savage -- sad Jeff Conaway -- I had no idea he had passed. Love him on Taxi Clarence "The Big Man" Clemons -- he could blow a sax like no other Peter Falk -- Columbo will forever be his calling card Amy Winehouse -- alcohol poisoning....ugh Bubba Smith -- Thank you for Police Academy!!!!! Cliff Robertson -- Spidermans uncle Andy Whitfield -- HBO's Spartacus will never be the same Steve Jobs -- Why are we robbed of brilliance Andy Rooney -- I think we all grew up listening to his final word "Smokin Joe Frazier" -- RIP Heavy D -- I remember buying his cassette in high school Patrice O'Neil -- man that dude made me laugh You will all be missed.

TripleW64 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 wow! no idea about that. When was the Roast of Charlie Sheen? Wasn't that recently? Wasn't he on that and healthy? He was on the roast in Sept, suffered a stroke in Oct and died in November. He was a funny dude. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditkaless Wonders Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) Cheetah - O.K. he missed by a few genes. Osama Bin Laden- I will not miss him Kim Jung Il - I will not miss him I guess out of the three Cheetah made the biggest positive contibution. Of course when I die I hope not to be compared to Cheetah as I feel I will come up lacking.

tazinib1 Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 Irish is getting divorced and his blood family has pooped all over him for it. He has no one to support him through this garbage. I think his family wants him to put up with his pyscho due to religious reasons and refuse to consider what's best for him and his kids. In a way, it's worse than them dying. I know it's not, just sayin' that it's a "loss" that he can't even grieve over. I don't like hearing a report like this for any Huddler. Irish? whats up man?

irish Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) I don't like hearing a report like this for any Huddler. Irish? whats up man? Ope's and Big John hit it right on the head. I have been separated for about a year now and have gone through mediation sessions heading towards the day in court. Long story short, I have lost my entire family over divorcing my wife after they threatened to disown me if I did. They have since "taken her in" and have supported her every step of the way (even down to my mom/aunt offering to get her legal representation at a firm my aunt works for to try and take my kids away). My mother has called me names to my kids and has told me that I should be a visitational rights only father and that (after a lifetime of living the straight and narrow (i.e.- never doing drugs, never drinking, getting great great through school, never hanging out with trouble makers or in general, cause I had a full time job at a very early age) she has informed me that I am the greatest disappointment of her life. My ex went on vacation this summer with my family on my dime, she has spent all of the holidays with them and is hosting New Years' Eve as I type, at what used to be our house with my family tonight. The divorce has been hard enough but my family (specifically my mother) has made it nearly impossible to manage and unfortunately my kids have had to suffer more than they should have and I am one devastated, bitter, angry, depressed SOB! Going through this over the past year or so has changed who I am and what my mindset/perspective is forever. I am truly broken inside on so many levels. This is a New Year that I will never forget.

Dude.....that was very tough to read. I am so sorry to hear what you are going through. I truly can't even imagine how tough that has to be for you. All you can do is try to make the best future you can for yourself and your kids. I wish you the best of luck, and I hope 2012 mends some of your heartache.

Man, that was tough to read and to understand? How could your own Mother do this? Regardless of fault, a Mother should support her son? Very sorry your going through this Irish. Stay strong, seek out a good counselor and don"t ever bash your wife or your Mom to your kids. Not sure of their age(s) but if you stay consistent and refrain from the temptation of trading "namecalling" you and your children will be better because of it and they will figure out the truth in time. I went through something similar a few years back. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
