It's been a while (almost a year since i've been on) and I'm really glad to see the forum is thriving...

I'm fine, just been immersed in work...back-to-back projects. I hope I can work on a film like Brokeback someday soon..

I still watch the film every chance i get...i'm definitely a brokie for life

Hope everyone is doing well and y'know my thoughts are always with you, fellow brokies.

Anyone coming to India, let me know!

Lots of love,
Reanna

HELLO beautiful ! Good to hear from you

I've been absent from these boards a lot too, also because of work (and bad health), but things are looking up.
Hoping to make it to India one day, but no definite plan yet. Will get in touch then, though!

Isabelle

atz (Amanda?), you're one of my favourites here, along with David who just posted after you - hello, dear! - and Kelda because I love this name and she is Scottish (I am a fan of the Scots and Scotland, BIG time).

I am much better now, thank you all. Another year of taking this medicine yet, but it helps me feel "normal"!

Glad to have the time and energy to be back here too !

Reanna and Isabelle, I can just echo everyone else so far. Great to see you both.

Hi guys!!!!

SO good to hear from you both. Glad you still check in. We're still here!!

isabelle · « **Reply #9 on:** July 24, 2007, 08:30:55 pm »

Reanna? Still there?

Thanks everyone for the notes dropped here for me too (just so you don't get wild ideas about what was wrong with me, like 'had she gone crazy by any chance?', it is my thyroid playing up. But the latest blood test results are encouraging).

As a friend of mine said: you hit forty, that's when you finally get your head together, and then your body starts to fall apart $:-\$

Brown Eyes · « **Reply #10 on:** July 24, 2007, 09:15:30 pm »

Hi Isabelle,

Thanks for the update. Thyroid issues seem to run in my Mom's side of the family. Both my Mom and her Sister take medication to regulate their thyroid and my cousin who's still only 27 has already had her thyroid removed. I haven't had any issues yet, but I'm always having to think about. For all three of my relatives things have worked out quite well with the right medications. Once my Mom was diagnosed properly and got the right medication things got much, much better for her very quickly. So, I'm definitely sending encouraging thoughts your way. Best wishes Bud.

cheers,
Amanda

Good to hear from you! Don;t be a stranger, stop by from time to time.

Reanna and Isabelle!!! I get back from a great 10 days in Alberta and find posts from the two of you-could life get any better?!

I am so pleased to come across this post (which I just now did today)...I had kinda thought you might have left Brokeback and BetterMost behind (happens sometimes). So happy to learn you're still keeping the love of this beautiful work of art alive in your heart!

All the best,
Scott

Hey, reanna! Great to hear from you and know you're busy and still thinking about us. Every time I go to the Boat House in Central Park, I think about you and our lunch. Jenny and John say hi!

Isabelle, it's nice to see you, too. I'm glad you're feeling more up to snuff. Happy birthday!

Kelda · « **Reply #15 on:** August 09, 2007, 01:40:15 pm »

How is John, meryl.. I'd love to chat with him online one day if he could manage it.

Brown Eyes · « **Reply #16 on:** August 09, 2007, 07:21:37 pm »

What a fantastic photo Meryl!

thanks for sharing it Bud!

Hi all...
It's not quite been 4 years since I wrote but it sure feels like it...I am so sorry for dropping out of sight...but I became entangled in my own personal
issues over the latter half of 2007 - I worked as an a.d on a true blue 3 hr bollywood Indian film - which is far more stressful behind the scenes than whats onscreen - there's no singing and dancing in the crews for sure - then there was a personal crisis..i lost a person I loved very much...

..and when I heard about Heath...I heard about it a day after it happened - I was in Singapore - had not been on the net, had not seen any tv or spoken to anyone.. and sitting with a stranger when he dropped it casually in conversation..and I'm sure you can all relate - anyone who loves Brokeback so much
and so admires Heath for his conviction and his sensitivity and his endearing nature and his courage.....I find it hard to talk or write about at all...I still find
it unbelievable, like it could not have actually happened to our hero...it's too heartbreaking...and i always wondered if I feel so much grief
and a sense of loss at this - then what about people who knew him...what must they be going through
...and I knew you all must be writing about him and paying tributes to him.....
I remember when we started posting on Chez Tremblay, I was so grateful that there was finally a place where we could go discuss our most beloved film and our beloved actors...for me it will always be the most special film of my life.

I was not going to see The Dark Knight - I was sure that I would cry throughout the film... and then a friend told me that I ought to - to pay tribute and to see his performance..he's brilliant as usual...

I wanted to tell you guys - The response to him in India is just as tremendous as it is has been everywhere else- people adore him! When people talk about the film over here, it's the Joker character they speak about the most - everyone is in awe of Heath's talent....and then we are all saddened..

I don't have too much of internet access these days - but I will try to log on more often...

It's good to see the picture of our lunch at the boathouse....reminds me of the simple and sweet vacation I had in NYC two years ago - things
have changed so drastically since then.

I hope everyone is in good health? John?

And Hi Jenny! Hi Kelda! Hi Meryl! Hi Isabelle! Hi Scott!

And hi all fellow brokies...lots of love to all of you...

reanna

Great to hear from you, reanna! Thanks for coming back. We have a whole forum dedicated to Heath...check it out! Please stay in touch...good to hear your job is growing, and hope the fun part of it does as well!! Stay well and safe!

Kelda · « **Reply #19 on:** July 30, 2008, 06:26:56 pm »

Reanna!! So good to see you & hear what you are up to!

Looking forward to catching up some more.

Meryl · « **Reply #20 on:** July 30, 2008, 10:58:59 pm »

Reanna, what a treat to log on and find your update! Once a Brokie, always a Brokie, no matter how long away.

I'm sorry to hear about your personal loss. Losing Heath on top of that can't have been easy either. However, you sound like you're coping well. I hope your Bollywood job bears good fruit for you career-wise. It sounds difficult, but exciting.

I was just in Central Park today, taking a balloon ride of all things, and looked down at the Boathouse and remembered the good times we've had there. Here's a picture of it from above:

Hope to see you back here one day!

Ellemeno · « **Reply #21 on:** July 31, 2008, 03:47:17 am »

Hi Reanna, a hug to you! I'm so glad you are having interesting experiences, though I'm sure it's true there's no spontaneous joyful choreography behind the scenes.

Do you have any Brokies near you, that you know of?

Hug from your friend in Seattle,

Clarissa

Hi Reanna,

Thanks for the update and the news. Good to hear from you even after a long while. Take care and keep in touch.

Hugs,

Leslie

Thanks for stopping by Reanna! It's so nice to see you here at BetterMost.

Hi all...Good to hear back from all of you as well....I really wish there were more Brokies around so that we
could have a 'Bombay Brokies' meeting but I haven't met any...

I'll have to make a trip to the U.S soon...maybe work on a film shoot in NYC..let's see..it's been an unpredictable
year so far.

Love and hugs to everyone

reanna

Hi Reanna!

I've been missing in action a bit myself and what a pleasure to come back and find you here.
There is certainly truth in "once a Brokie, always a Brokie" and I'm surely glad about that.
Hope you'll continue to drop in when you can.
