Hello friends,
It may have been luck or by the grace of God that I am here to write you all today. I have been in the hospital the last couple days, being treated for burns and smoke inhalation due to my house being on fire. I returned from an hour long walk with my dog, only to discover smoke coming from my house. I called 911 from a neighbors and then went in to the house filled with intense flames several times and rescued 3 of my 5 cats. When the fire dept showed up I was forcibly barred from re-entering the house. It was at this time, the shock subsided enough for me to realize that my clothes melted to my skin, my beard was charred and that I inhaled a lot of smoke. I spent the next days more worried about the two remaining cats as I was being treated. It was when I was later discharged that I found the other two cats and can only thank God that only possessions were lost.
It is only now that I realized that I stared death in the eye, and that looking back, probably shouldn’t have went in to a burning fire so many times.
My house is structurally sound yet, the electric and other utilities were cut, and will not be restored till I prove the house stable enough. It isn’t livable and I am staying with a neighbor until I can get the funds to move in somewhere else. I lost everything, clothes, car keys, ID, bank cards, furniture of thousands of dollars merchandise that I sell to make a living and many treasured family heirlooms and pics. Added to list is all the shtf stuff I been saving like canned food and other prepper stuff.
So needless to say, my ability to be on the site is going to be quite limited. And I frankly have no idea when I will ever be able to be on again regularly.
I do hate to ask, but if you are in a position to donate items , gift cards or merchandise to help me get back on my feet again, I would be ever so grateful. My temp address is c/o JR - 824 Oak, Columbus, Ohio, 43205. If you like to send some funds through paypal, please use admotion@yahoo.com, and note that its for me and not for the 12160 site operations.
I do feel truly blessed that my beloved pets survived and that I am in overall good health as a result of this fire.
I would like Tara to take over as chief admin of the site in my absence.
I will miss you all till I can return. James

ello every body! First and again, many thanks for your prayers, kind words and support. I wouldn't be back online with out your help. I am staying with a friend, and can not always be here online when I want to...but alas I am back.
What a difference a week has made. I was in awful pain but its past. I will not need any surgery and I have recovered nearly fully from my burns. I now face the uphill battle of rebuilding my house and paying off the medical bills. After seeing the bills, I thought wow, maybe obama care aint so bad , lol. J/K of course, but damn I think I may be buying a new corvette for my doctor.
I am picking up some work during the day and with the rebuild work, not sure how often I can be here, plus issue mentioned above.
Just wanted you to all know, I hope to catch up with you all soon and as time allows.
Wow, so sorry to hear that James. I guess that will teach me to go on vacation for a week and a half. Without me monitoring the world James house burns down, more revolutions break out in the middle east and rioting breaks out in Seattle over the shooting of the Native American woodcarver. Good to hear all the critters, including you, are safe and sound though.
P.S. - I bet your Mac started it.
James
I'm truly sorry to hear about your loss but thank God you're ok. I completely understand how it feels as I went through it myself about 10 years ago. It will be my pleasure to help out so I will be making a donation right away. I hope you don't let it get you down too much buddy and I look forward to having back ASAP.
