My house burned down, i awoke on a respirator 100 miles away and now live in a hotel.
Sometimes life sucks. I'm old and crotchety and at this point...
Sucks to be you, but then again, it sucked to be you before any of that (allegedly) happened. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028046953)
Maybe the DUmmies can get together and bring a dick casserole to photographer's hotel room.
Seriously: if your house burns down, and you're in a strange place on a respirator, what would you do? Tell the Internet about it? Well, perhaps, I guess...or would you...

Uh-oh. It's looking more and more like Trump and Putin are in bed together.
What will his supporters do?
Post some ridiculous dreck like this? (http://www.democraticunderground.com/10028047780)
Oh, wait - I guess the Burning happened months ago. Which kind of makes you wonder why the asshole mentioned it TODAY.

Its called "deflection" asshole. Move the attention AWAY from the e-mails the DNC wrote, blame it on Russian hackers, then tie the hackers to Trump, moving attention away from the e-mails the DNC wrote.
Liberals f*ckin disgust me.

6. I'm okay. Still processing after many months.
Family helped me into the hotel and that's about it.
Months ago?
This mook is posting numerous threads at the DUmp so not sure the motivation behind this one.

Life sucks.
I've been a volunteer firefighter for 15 years. Our district is semi-rural and we do a lot of mutual aid calls for the surrounding districts. My district averages about 1 or 2 structure fires/year, if it were not for mutual aid we would never see flames.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, we were hosting our annual 3 day fundraiser at the station when our pagers went off for a dwelling fire with entrapment. Since we had a large number of our active firefighters already at the station our response was quick and well attended. I managed to get on the first out truck so when we arrived on scene I was on the hose team that made first entry. Lots of fire and heavy smoke. We were able to locate the victim and pull him out. He was air-lifted to a trauma center but passed a few hours later.
I'm not telling this story to make myself feel good about my personal efforts. Simply to illustrate that in my neck of the woods we put about 30 well trained and unpaid volunteers on the line on a Friday night to do well by the community, our community.
Losing you home and belongings to tragedy sucks, true. Finding yourself on a respirator also sucks. Being alive and able to complain about your situation in life when you could be dead sucks only to the DUmmies.
Personally I'm of the opinion this is a made up story but it makes the point.

I volunteered in a tourist town in Indiana for quite a few years where I used to live. It was small, 2000 people most of the year but summer ballooned to like 20,000 peak (at least that's what they always reported). That means they could never really hire more than 4 full-time guys... In the summer some of us volunteered to help pick up the slack. In the span of about 8 years I only went into flames once... house fires are pretty rare. I mostly followed the trucks, picking up all the junk that fell off on the way (hey, that's an important job too!).
I had most of my fun driving the ambulance... back then getting certified was pretty easy. Once you got your card, then they taught you how to *really* do it. I can remember it was my second or third run and I was complaining people would move over. The fire chief was with me in the passenger seat. He said "straddle the centerline and floor it, they'll move". By god, they did. After that, it was all fun. Mostly practice and training.. scuba, repelling, soaking cars on Main St "testing" the pumps. We had a blast all summer out there and I learned a lot. They did the same thing in the police department. I rode shotgun almost every weekend on the night shift all summer long as a volunteer. I doubt they would even allow untrained police to function these days. All I had to do was take an aptitude test, an oath, and supply my own gun (my father-in-law was the police chief). Good times when I was young and full of vinegar.
I don't know why I decided to hijack this thread, but that brings back a lot of fun memories... not much inline with someone dying in a house fire though.

^it sure is nice to know there are still people out there who will run towards danger while all the panty waist Libs are running away.
Libs are always in some level of panic anyway.
It doesn't take much to set them off.

Nowadays it seems like all the Millennial dipshits pull out smart phones and start trying to stream it.

I didn't intend to change the subject but using my experience as a indication. All of the firefighters in my county are volunteer. I'm an officer in the county firemen's association and so I know many of them. Quite a cross section of people but I would say more are Republican leaning than Democrat.
Anyway we may not get many actual fires but we cover a large stretch of two major roads, one is the PA Turnpike and we get some nasty wrecks there. In my opinion most of the fatal MVAs involve either drugs or alcohol in some capacity. I have pulled up to wrecks where one of the passengers was ejected and exhibiting signs inconsistent with life, while his/her buds were video taping or just chatting on the phone. I don't understand this.

I think this would be worthy of it's won thread some day. I'm sure there are quite a few around here that have some stories to tell.
