Actor Anne Heche Pronounced 'Brain Dead' At 53: Family [UPDATED]

[Thtwudbeme]

48. I am disappointed that people on a Democratic board

think it's sadder to lose possessions rather than suffer a lifetime of trauma, addiction, and then a painful death.

So, you have to excuse me if your "outrage" over my statement that the woman now has plenty of money (158,000 as of right now), her life and all of her beloved pets safe didn't "lose everything" means little to me.

Have you ever been in a house fire? I was- I put the leash on the dog grabbed my roommate's young son by the hand and walked right out the door knowing I could "lose everything." That was in the 80's...there was no gofundme...nothing. I think I had renter's insurance, I can't remember. But I remember looking at Trey (the son) and Melanie (the mutt) playing in the park I took them to and thinking, "Holy crap...I just got lucky." My great grandmother's jewelry, and all my photos were in that house.

Maybe we (the royal "we" ) need to rethink our priorities?

I hope that helps.
