JohnMitchell 16 #27 December 24, 2010 Quote My ex-brother-in law's family (whom I'm still friendly with) also lost his dog and almost his entire house on Monday due to his 5 year old playing with matches. I suppose all things are realitive in comparison to something like that! My bro-in-law lost all his possessions and several dogs a year ago when his rented house burned to the ground. Not a stitch of renter's insurance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 0 #29 December 24, 2010 Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will... see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You’ll see that this is really true. Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not. - Joseph Campbell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I cry today, it will be from happy tears! I'm really glad to see you are staying positive. Congrats on your daughter's engagement. I really like Lucky's "Skymamma of the Bride" title. The rest of it just sucks, and I'm really sad to hear you are going through it. DO NOT FORGET that you have a ton of friends (both in real life and among this group of weirdos I am honored to consider my "online friends") who really do care about you. You have support available, use it!!! Go out to the DZ as much as you can. I know how much you respect and value Shah's advice , but his comment about the healing powers of the folks at the DZ is spot on. The house thing sucks, but keep in mind you aren't alone. Lots and lots of folks are taking serious hits selling in this market. Do your best to "take the high road" with your soon to be ex (I don't doubt that you will, but I want to include this just in case). As tempting as it is to let loose and unload on him, the apologies necessary after such an incident aren't worth the temporary happiness/catharsis you get from the blasting (and yes, I had to learn this one the hard way)."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

grimmie 181 #36 December 24, 2010 You have your health. Everything else is just fluff. Lot's of wealthy people wish they weren't dying of some stupid uncurable cancer. Here's a Christmas present for you. Come to Belize in February. Buy your plane ticket there, I'll give you some free skydives. Santa Grimmie is in a great mood today. Cheer up buttercup!

Nataly 38 #38 December 24, 2010 Quote Quote Fl. law doesn't let you keep everything acquired b/4 being married ? I sold that house and bought another house with non-peaceful jeffery. Stupid, stupid, stupid. It was NOT stupid. No one knew the market would crash, otherwise fewer people would have been affected by it. And if the relationship had worked out buying that house would have been the *right* decision. Things didn't turn out the way you planned but that doesn't mean you had a bad plan.

lauraliscious 0 #39 December 24, 2010 Congrats to Alix! Hope you enjoy your Christmas with your family. Sounds like you'll have a good Christmas with your kids and everyone. And you should totally take Grimmie up on his offer and give yourself a plane ticket to Belize for Christmas!!! Sounds like you could use a nice tropical vacation. Can't wait to see you at that boogie in March, and let you hold Babylicious!

shah269 0 #41 December 25, 2010 Quote The twelve year old girl I had when I joined the forums is now a young lady and she's engaged! Feel old yet? I know I do! This comes on the heels of me finding out I'm getting divorced, Congrats and I'm sorry to hear that. My youngest brother just turned 21, I'm 34, a few months back. It was so odd having that not so little dork buying me drinks at the local bar. And I'm sorry to hear about the divorce. No matter how you cut it they suck. Wish you the best.Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

skymama 35 #42 December 25, 2010 Quote Buy your plane ticket there, I'll give you some free skydives. Santa Grimmie is in a great mood today. That is such a generous offer, thank-you so much! I had a wonderful day with my family yesterday and my kids gave me something they knew I'd want- money for 2 jumps! They were so excited to give it to me. It was weird receiving money from them, usually they're the ones holding their hands out! Many thanks to all of you giving me your well wishes, especially reading them on Christmas day. Y'all made me tear up.
