UNBELIEVABLE BAD LUCK FOR RAVEN!!!

[piemma]

His house burned down this morning!

This is not a joke. I was out in the Bay fishing and Raven called to let me know and asked me to post this. Obviously his computer burned in the fire.

Fortunately the dog was with them and the house is insured but jezz, has this guy got bad luck or what???

My heart goes out to him and his family!!

Raven, if you are out there.....my heart goes out to you. Glad you all got out safe. Please let me know if there is absolutely anything I can do to help. Hope it was not a total loss?

[Slingah]

holy crap...that really sux....best of luck...

[JohnR]

Best of luck Raven - fortunately you and the family are safe - that's all that counts.

[angler229]

That's really awful. I wish Raven and his family the best in these tough times.

[Adam_777]

Unbelievable .Just when I had thought his luck couldn't have gotten any worse.At least they are safe I'm hoping they have somewhere to stay while they get it all worked out.Keep us posted if you can.He's got alot of friends here.

So sorry to hear, Best wishes with the recovery, thank god no one was hurt.

I believe the house is a total loss. he told me that they will be moving a trailer onto his property for his family to live in.

I told him that the upside is he can now build the house that he always wanted.

Tough way to do it though.
He will ultimately get your messages as he told me that he will be using the library computer until his insurance settles. If anyone has an old used maching, I am sure he would appreciate the loan of it.

I just gave way a dual procesor 486 with a gig of ram to one of my nephews.

That is incredibly bad, but considering I've had the experience of carrying my mother (who can't walk) out of their burning house just be thankfull nobody was hurt...

Paul, if he can use Linux I can put a decent machine together for him. I just don't have any spare copies of Windows to legally put on a machine.

[fishaholic18]

[Clammer]

[jim sylvester]

[chunk]

Thankfully everyone was safe.

[numbskull]

Awful

[piemma]

I have a phone number. I'm pretty sure this is the number he called me from this morning. 508-816-5278.

Thought you guys would want to know that I got an email from Mt Wanderer (a guy on this board) who is donating a laptop to Raven. Nice jesture on his part.

If anyone knows Raven personally, which I don't, please let me know if I published the right number for him. Obviously, it's not his house number as there is no more house.

Clammer is right on ....
stuff like this puts it all into perspective.

Raven,
I'm happy the clan is well....you know the rest can be replaced.
Frank.

[Circlehook]

I am willing to help out, anyway that I can.

Raven, as said before, ALL the important things where spared.

The only things important on earth are those which you will have with you in heaven.

[zacs]

how horrible.
what can we do to help?

[tattoobob]

Sorry for your loss, I am glad everyone was safe and unharmed

[afterhours]

wow talk about chitty luck. glad to hear family and dog are ok! posessions can be replaced.

[stripercrazy]

that shinks...hope everything works out

[Backbeach Jake]

Raven, you're really on a streak. One that I don't know that I'd have the strength to handle. What can I do to help? Do you and the Mrs. Need clothing? PM some sizes. Anything else? Home fires take everything. What a gut wrencher....

[macojoe]

WTF!!! I am so sorry for you!! I go to this site called Free Cycle, they give all kinds of stuff away for FREE

When you say you have a place to stay I am sure I can get you all kinds of stuff to furnish a place, Just let me Know!

[GonnaCatchABig1]

that's no good at all. we had a basement apt that went up in flames. the basement managed to escape but the upper floor was GONE. we didnt lose much stuff. just some thing to water and smoke damage. but our clothes made it out for the most part. still it really sucked. cause we were close to the people up stairs. and they lost everything including their cats.
and for some reason their dad (who owned it) had no insurance.
so both families had to pack up and start over. them more so then us.

if yer out there raven... i know this is gonna sound like complete B.S. but it's really not the worst thing that could happen as long as every one is safe. their are very kind people out there that will help pick up the pieces.

losing those priceless memories (photos, rewards or trophies etc) and what not really stings. but eventually more memories are made and possessions return. and after a few years it will be merely a story.

its absolutely devastating at first. but eventually it seems like it never happened. (much easier if you have money.. which neither of ours did. so don't worry even if money is tight it will work out)

i wish you and your family nothing but the best with the recovery.
keep your chin up. every one is ok and you WILL rebuild your life. everything will work out.

Craig, email sent.
