  1. They're really huge when the full picture comes up on the screen and a pretty good indicator that someone might be goofing off at work. Better to be safe than sorry!

  2. Wow, that's crazy! Yay! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon
  3. I read that Garry told a doctor friend his symptoms, and the doctor told him to go to the ER the next day. I guess he probably should have said, "right away!" She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon

  5. After I heard of the bombings, I also thought of Rick and his family traveling there soon. I also hope peace comes soon to the country. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon
  6. We got Euros at our bank before we went to Italy. Also, make sure you see if your credit card charges per transaction or not. We have three cards, and only one was considered an International card where we didn't get charged per transaction.

  7. No, I never made it to Lodi when I was out there. Did you go yesterday? She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon
  8. The weekend was tough for them. They had to go back to the house and gather items that could be saved, they were still in shock, and they had to identify the bodies of the children. It was a lot, and their phones were ringing off the hook. My Uncle just flat out stopped answering his phone. Since I wrote that, I have reached out to her and we will continue to do so. Thanks for your condolences and I'm sorry about the loss of your nephew as well. We've already checked our smoke detectors and figured out an escape route, and we're going to get a carbon monoxide detector too. We didn't think of it being a necessity because we don't have any gas lines to the house, but now it appears they can be helpful in every home.

  9. My Uncle has written to my Dad about the fire. Here is an edited version of the letter… It will be a while before the official fire report is ready, but here are preliminary findings. An electrical fire appears to have started in a hallway near the front door. According to a few firemen who were at the scene, the nearby stairwell created a chimney effect, which brought the carbon monoxide right up to the kids’ bedrooms quickly. Shortly after midnight, our cousin, Sue, heard a loud bang and could see lights and smoke in the Kitchen, near the base of the stairs located next to her downstairs bedroom. She ran up the stairs to get to the kids’ bedrooms and was beaten back by flames. She ran back and threw some clothes on to help fight the heat and tried again to reach the kids. By this time the hallway was engulfed in flames. She ran outside with her phone calling 911. The upstairs was now all on fire and the windows were blown out. Fireman got there in a hurry but too late. The fireman said that the carbon monoxide would have knocked the kids out in the first 30 seconds and then the full fire and heat engulfed the upstairs in 3 to 4 minutes. It appears Ben, Maddy and Sam went to sleep and never woke up. Thankfully, it seems they did not suffer. Thanks to all of you who have made a donation, your support means so much.
  10. Yes, those are the slots I was thinking of. I'm wondering if I'm going to be too floaty on my belly compared to all of you. We'll have to think of this exit! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon
  11. My Aunt told me they are all so raw right now. I haven't talked to Sue yet, I've been giving her some space. I just can't stop thinking about them. There is just so much to the tradegy. It's one thing to lose all of your belongings to a fire, another to lose your kids, even more to lose your kids while you were at the house...I worry about Sue being able to move on and live a life so different than what she thought she was going to have. We have a very loving family and we're all up to the task of helping however she needs. I hope we can help her pull through. Thank-you all so much for your help and kind words.

  12. No, it's ok. I want everyone to be reviewing their fire safety plans. They were living in a rental house after recently being divorced. I don't know if the smoke alarms were working or not. The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but here's a video from the vigil last night. http://q13fox.com/2016/03/05/family-remembers-three-children-killed-in-centralia-house-fire/# Thank you all for your concerns and donations. It's going to be a long road ahead for my cousin. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon

  14. Some of you on the west coast might have heard about this fire that happened on Friday. The mom is my cousin (our dads are brothers). She was sleeping downstairs when the fire broke out and she couldn't make it up the stairs to save her three kids who were sleeping there. They were two boys and a girl, ages 12, 10 and 6. A gofundme has been set up to help her with costs of the funeral and to help her rebuild her life again. If you're able to help, please click here. And, please, please review your own fire escape plan at your own house. If you live in a two story house, how are you getting your family out of the second floor? We always think it won't happen to us. Well, it does sometimes. Our hearts are very heavy at this time. She had a beautiful and loving family.

  15. I didn't understand that until Normiss explained it to me a few years ago. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon
