hello and well met to everyone...i have been absent a while but now im back, not that i expected any of you to notice, but anyhow i have a bit of interesting news as to why i havent been on if any of you are at all wondering. So the story starts...the other day i was in my room playing some World of Warcraft because i just got the BURNING crusade, interestingly ironic if you read further, and i am thoroughly enjoying the game when i notice that my house is burning down...so i do the same thing some of you would have done...i grabbed the laptop, a power cord, and the dog. so i get outside my house and after waiting for the fire department for 45 minutes they finally get there , they were a volunteer fire department that might explain the time it took, and then after an hour or so of burning and whatnot my entire house and everything i have ever owned is gone...so here i am...back...o and i had a rather large collection of books that i didnt even read yet all burned up...yeah it is depressing i know...and later when i counted i had lost about 150 in the fire because i didnt save any...and i had that many because my cousin gave me a bunch of hers an thats also why they were unread...well thats all i have to say for now...i just wanted to share that with you all...
p.s. twas a bad january for me too Rannek...lol |

Man, Genis, there is not much I can say that has not been said by others already. I am so sorry to hear this. At least you and your dog was unharmed. |

You know... There are a couple of duplicate books that I have. A couple extra copies of novels, a couple of older sourcebooks I've gotten more than once... I can't say any of it is in great shape (there's a reason some of the books were replaced), but it's stuff I have no use for.
PM me with your address, and I'll box the stuff up and send it out. It may take me a couple weeks or so to find the stuff and actually get to the post office, but I'll do it, sooner or later. |

Well met
I'm sorry to hear of such terrible news, Genis. That is truly an awful tragedy and is one of my worst fears. I hope that things get sorted out for you soon and life can begin return to normal for you.
At least you're ok, and you have friends here with whom to speak to for comfort |

'Tis unforunate news, indeed.
For what it is worth Genis, know that if there is anything any of us can do to help you restore your lost books, you need only ask here.

Genis, I'm sorry to hear that, but personally, I rather survive than my books...no wait! I rather die WITH my books, but that's just crazy old me.
Glad you're unharmed |

Wow, that's a tough break... I'm glad you and the important stuff got out. The rest can be replaced; you and the dog can't be. |

Sorry to hear about your house burning down, but at least you, your dog, and your laptop are still around. (In that order or importance.  ) |
