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....
He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.

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.
There he stands, draped in more equipment than a telephone lineman, trying to outwit an organism with a brain no bigger than a breadcrumb, and getting licked in the process. ~Paul O'Neil, 1965
