I thought it was charming too. Like laughing at a tipsy Jillian, not your uncle who drinks too much every nught and gets not slightly racist.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh my god, Frank -- how terrible! I'm glad you are OK, and hope most of your stuff is, too.

I'm hoping they'll give me the all-clear to get back in today. I got a cursory look when they let me get a bag together for overnight and what I registered was "could be a hell of a lot worse". But I'm not looking forward to being in that smoke stench for the next several days.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, Frank, how awful! I'm so so glad you're all right! So sorry about your landlord. I hope you can get the living situation fixed and get your stuff back soon.
Gah, fire is my worst nightmare. Thank goodness there were people about.

I'm glad you are ok. I'm terribly sorry about your landlord.
There are companies whose whole business is getting the smoke stink out of anything. Insurance folk will know. A coworker whose parents dealt with similar went out and bought a week's worth of 'fresh' clothing for her parents' temp housing, kept a set of smokey clothing for actually having to deal with the property, and just bundled the rest off for someone else to clean.

That's terrible, Frank. I'm so sorry about your landlord. Please give us updates when you can and remember you always have a virtual home.
There is a process to remove the smoke smell. When my friend's house burned, the fire took out the kitchen and den, but fortunately spared her books. They reeked of smoke, though, and her insurance paid for thousands of books to be desmoked.

God Frank, how terrible. I am so sorry about your landlord, but so glad you are safe. Take care.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Frank, how scary. I'm glad you're okay.

Because books.
Oh my god, Frank. I'm so sorry about your landlord, and all of it. Like Ginger said, you always have a virtual home here, and if there's anything we can do to help, just shout.

Frank, I'm so glad you are okay.
A friend just had a fire that caused major smoke damage to her house (her brand new Kia Sorrento was parked in the garage and had a short in one of the lights - it went up in flames, destroyed the garage, but the fire barrier kept it contained so it didn't spread to the house) and she tells me that anything plastic can't be saved, but a lot of the rest can. She's hoping they'll be back in their house with what could be cleaned in about 4-5 months.
