So, my apartment burnt to a crisp

[Bhm]

Hey, guys

Long time no see, eh?

Well, the reason for my absence is that my apartment was BBQ'd. I'm sitting here on a PII 233mhz craptastic piece of ass in an unfurnished apartment waiting for the insurance company to pay me some fucking money.

I lost my kickass Fish (an oscar) which was 8 yrs old (R.I.P Ernesto). My (quite modest) Neo NGH collection along with everything else that I owned. I remember standing there silently as the snowflakes fell slowly to the ground, staring at what was left of my apartment realizing that the only thing that I owned was the clothes on my body.

Anyway, sorry NBM, I haven't had access to a computer and I currently don't have any money AT ALL so that I can send your long-awaited $55. I know I'm an asshole but I don't have any money at all to spare. I'm currently eating noodles with plastic cutlery in a plastic bowl. Life couldn't be anymore asstastic.

Anyway, I'm off to stare at a wall as I'm borrowing my (new) neighbours internet connection.

Dude, that suuuuuuuuuuucks.

Hope you get back on your feet soon.

 

[Talen]

Man BHM, that sucks. crying I hope you get your check from the insurance company, I can't imagine what I would do if my home burned down.

 

[Kid Aphex]

Holy shit; regain control!

get back to 100% soon

 

[Magnaflux]

Maybe now, you can use the insureance moneies to start a melon farm!!!

 

[Neo Bomber Man]

Oy,

that's $57. Oddly enough I just sent you an e-mail about 30 minutes ago. Sorry you've only got a BBQ pit of a flat left.

Anyway, get back on your feet soon. We miss your arguing with Magna over the superiority of European automotives. And anyway, where you staying now?

Take care, I'm off on holiday shortly.

 

[EMAGDNIM]

Geeze...I hope you get that money soon...sorry to hear about this...

Arguing? More like complete and total Bhm ownage by yours truly. Anyways, as long as Bhm is ok, that's what matters, i mean everything else can be replaced. Good thing you've got insurance.

 

[Verbatum]

I send my best wishes to you in this down time. You shall recover though!

 

[EVIL NICK]

That really sucks , hope you get back on soon... frown

 

[Wolf]

That really sucks, best of luck with the insurance!

Out of morbid curiousity, would you post a list of the NGH carts lost?

My family had a fire that burnt down the whole apartment house a few years ago.
We lost everything.
I was away that night but I remember getting a call a 4 am from my sister saying that there was a fire and everyone was ok.
But.
They had to jump out of a second floor window and barely made it out alive.
My sister broke her ankle and my other sister broke her nose jumping out the window.
Otherwise they all had Smoke inhalation damage.
My mom had several expensive birds that were killed also.(pets)
It was an unbelievable experience..
That fire still haunts my family today.

Good Luck to you...Best regards..

 

[BIG]

Man,that sucks.Good luck to ya,I hope you can regain your finances real soon.By the way,that insurance check should come in handy!Best of luck!

 

[+++SLUG FLYER+++]

Did you have one of the 2 known copies of that kizuna encounter? lol

 

[aria]

Good god! I'm glad to hear you're okay.

+++SLUG FLYER+++:

Umm... Sure he did. In fact, he might have just claimed that on his insurance.

Of course, even if he did, I could just see the resulting argument:

"I swear, it was a $2000 video game! ... What? Stop looking at me like that!

 

[Takumaji]

Man, sorry to hear that, bro! frown

 

[rarehero]

ugh.
sorry bhm.
glad youre alright though.

 

[SPINMASTER X]

Jesus man. I'm very very glad to hear that you are still alive and in good health. I don't really know what else to say. All I can do is pray you fully get back into the swing of things.

 

[Kazuya_UK]

Fuck that sucks, sorry to hear that... I don't know you, but I really hope you get back on your feet soon.

 

[CraigPilecky]

That really sucks. Did you have insurance?

Ive started to get gittery lately. After realizing just how much ive paid for all my games over the years ive decided to insure it all for $18,000 just incase something aweful happend.

I know sort of how that feels , back in 1999 I moved into a friends basement , it was an old farm house out in the country so the basement was about 1200 squarefeet , it was a great place for 200.00 a month , I got a call christmas eve of all times, from my brother while I was at work telling me the house burned down.

That is truely a horrible feeling !

I was very lucky since I was in the basement I only got some smoke damage , but the house was completely gutted upstairs , my only real concern was for my dog , who I sometimes left down stairs while I was at work , luckily on that night I left him out on a cable attatched to a tree near bye.

Although I didnt loose as much as you have I sure know how scarey that can be , I had no idea what to expect when I arrived home , I was expecting the worst but lucked out. Then about 8 months later while living in an apartment some gal who was supposed to watching her kids downstairs was sleeping instead and one of her kids decided to light a matterss on fire with a lighter , but the fire dept got there in good time and again I got more smoke , I thought to myself , this cant be happening again !

Hope you bounce back soon man , material possesions can be replaced but we only have one shot at life , its good to hear you are ok.
