The rest of the state is flooded. And our house burned down. Outlet lit up the sofa, and that's all she wrote.
We lost just about everything in the house, two cats and a bird.
Gonna be a long couple of days. Weeks. Months?
*sigh*
OMG I am so very sorry my dear. I am still housing relatives who lost everything in the fire in Alberta. I will be praying for you.

That is devastating news! I'm very sorry this happened. I hope you are safe and able to find your bearings. Have you considered a Gofundme account? Praying for you!
Ya. Tall Guy set one up.

This sucks. (((Lepplady))) sorry Neesy, I empathize with what you said about feeling bad for saying anything about your triumph. Your spoiler is disconcerting. Couch night for me too. Danny has my bed tonight. Something is bothering me, it really doesn't matter what it is right now though.
keeping your cash in a sock underneath your mattress? Almost sounds less complicated at this point

Oh my gosh. This is just so horrible! I'm so sorry you have to go through this. :(:flat::down: You and yours are in my thoughts. Sending TONS of good vibes.

I had an interview today. The possibilities are interesting.

But it brings to mind the Pink Floyd line (sorry, danie, but it's completely evocative here):

Did you exchange
Your walk-on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

I don't know how the interview process will come out, but at this point, if it came out favorable to me, I'm probably selecting the lead role in a cage.

I'm in the autumn of life. Different sensibilities prevail than in earlier times.

Sigh.

If none of this made sense to you, I apologize, but it's striking at the core of my being right now, and I had to express it somewhere.

What does that entail, exactly? The role you've selected. I understand the metaphor but not as it applies here. It makes sense and sounds like a core moment - I love those moments! Fewer and far between as time and time again the thrill escapes me. Help, Durvbervilles of the Tess.

Can't even say how sorry I am to read this. Just awful. I'm hoping the insurance company is quick to help, but I'm worried about their response time seeing how busy they must be given the situation down there. All the best to you!

This is awful. I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope the insurance company can respond quickly so you can at least get a place to live temporarily while you are sorting out the house claim. Can you provide a link for the Gofundme account?

I'm so very sorry this happened! Have you put the GoFundMe link in the self promotion thread? I'll see if I can find it on your facebook. Peace and prayers be with you and the rest of Louisiana!
