.... Don't really know what to say exept I'm sorry, but happy that no one was hurt.

As soon as you have somewhere to put it, I can get a dell w/XP for you, monitor, etc. It will at least be a long term loaner, probably to keep. Anybody planning to head from the New Bedford area towards Raven in the near future?

Sorry to hear that Craig.

Material things are the easiest to replace.

As long as your all safe, thats all that counts.

Why even try.........

Raven, try to find comfort in knowing that everyone is safe and things could have been worse. That happened to my family when I was a lot younger. We lost everything. We were very fortunate to have family that helped us all get back on our feet. From keeping a roof over our head when there was none, to helping us rebuild a new one.

I wish you and your family a speedy recovery back to normalcy. Keep your head up, and take care.

My thoughts are with you Raven. It really sucks and is an unbelievable distruption in your life. I say this because i have been there. It was my parents house at the time. But man I'll never forget.

Glad everyone is fine.

today i was meditating

sitting there trying to figure out a new plan for the farm

you have to realize that the new codes are quite different

than the way things were done in 1850

for example... my house is ten feet off the road...

and the new set back law says you have to rebuild 50 feet

off the road... NOW.......... so that changes everything

we'll have to move the septic system too

to accomodate the new house...

maybe i'll create an Orchard where the old house was
because the spot is 36 feet wide by over 200 feet long

Raven my thoughts are with you I can't believe you can still have a sense of humor after everything.

Real happy the wife and Star are safe, the material things can be relaced, your family can't so things are already starting to look up.
