Why are people so fucking horrible?!
I honestly don't know. On the flip side, most people have been amazing.
That's good
Good god people are assholes
It's been 10 months and I am just so f'ing tired.
I don't blame you in the slightest. It's so much stress and hassle! And people think you did it on PURPOSE?
While we were inside the house! At 4am! And we all had Covid at the time! Like, wtf.
I've been dealing with repairs for bad hail damage. Basically lost nothing except my poor trees and a few thousand $. So much less than you. But it's been CONSUMING MY LIFE for the past 5 months. Yes, some old stuff is getting replaced but fuck this. Those assholes deserve a tax audit.
Not the roof. I replaced that almost exactly one month before.
Fuuuuuck. And a brand new roof too! That is shit and I'm so sorry. These kind of big chaotic accidents are just the worst. Because it's not even like you can blame something properly.
I mean, things have gone about as well as one could hope for after a disaster. The insurance has been pretty good despite me only being with them a month. I changed after buying the new roof. My boss has been great about letting me take an hour here or there to deal with the repairs...
The main thing is the nagging feeling from living in a damaged house and knowing things need to be done. It's getting close though. There's one window left that needs replacing before I close out the claim. It was the wrong size when the other ones came and needed to be ordered. Should be soon.
Anyway, even though my only real loss was the trees, I get it. People have brought up that I now have a nice new fence, siding, windows, garage door, and outdoor lights. And roof (NOT). But I really would rather have just saved up for the fence and skipped the time suck and stress.
I would also be so upset about the trees. I'm mad the demo crew took out a mature apple they didn't need to remove. New shit isn't worth it when it happens like this. It really is not.
So very sorry some people are complete and utter fucking assholes. "Sure, I'll destroy all my stuff, kill some animals, and be basically homeless for months and months while dealing with insurance - sounds like fun!" No, sounds like bullshit from folks who believe conspiracy theories. GRRRRR...
I shouldn't even let it get under my skin. They're terrible people in general so of course they believe terrible things.
Very true. But there are good folks too. And, foster kittens. So may there be headkisses in your future, Veronica. :)
So so many good and amazing people. And very excellent kittens who definitely need their heads kissed. So it will get better.
*sympathy*
Thank you. I just needed it all out of my head.
I get that. (My first memory of TV news is the evacuation of Vietnam. So.) FYI have you read Derf Backderf's _Kent State_ ?
Yeah. Sometimes it's better than stewing on it over and over. And no, I haven't. You recommend it?
Yes, I read it recently.
Have a pic of my girl on a pile of pillows looking like a feline princess from The Princess & the Pea (but no pea, we aren’t monsters).
I love her. She's so pretty.
All of our cats are cute in my eyes, but she’s definitely the most conventionally beautiful of the bunch.
Objectively they are a very handsome bunch of cats, it’s just that she’s practically a super model.
Have some cat pics, I got Loki as a rescue from a foster home and people like you are good people!
Beautiful
He does a lot of things quietly and without much announcement or fanfare, doesn't he?
That second photo made me laugh! I love him.
Sorry for your shitty stuff, V.
Thanks. On the upside, the battery has decided it will charge so I have lights again! No water pump yet, but soon I hope!
Geez. I’m sorry you’re going through all this. I’m mad on your behalf - why on earth would someone think you’d burn down your house? They are stupid.
Because they care more about money than anything else tbh. Also they seem to think fire investigators are stupid? I mean the whole thing sucked, but watching the fire investigators work was really interesting.
People who think like this 😳 I mean, I'm a misanthrope at heart and even *I* don't think like this about other people. Why would any sane person put themselves through having to replace a whole house and everything in it. They must never have experienced hardship to be able to think it possible
They're really just showing themselves up. Horrible people being horrible.
