Update on my parent's house burning down situation.
As if it wasn't enough that the lost everything in the fire, now they have been vicimized by identity theft. Evidently, the theives were stealing their mail and got some credit card billing statements to gain access. They are not going to be responsible for these fraudulant charges...thank goodness.....and as recently as a couple of days ago, these theives tried to open a new account at Best Buy in their name. Lucky for them their credit has already been flagged.
I am not normally a violent person, but I had a wet dream about standing in line at Best Buy when one of these chumps tries to do this. That piece of slime's only chance at not having the pain being brought is the police showing up in a hurry.....roundhouse kick to head...knife hand strike to adam's apple....leg sweep...then stand firmly on neck while looking for something to hog tie them with...
On the other hand, the insurance company has been very good to deal with. Excavation starts first of next week (10th fo Sept.) and as soon as my mom gets her plan finalized, I will redraw it to code and submit it for a building permit. That part is kind of exciting for her as she gets to take any of the floorplan "flaws" that she didn't like in the old house, and make it exaclty how they want it. You will also be able to heat this place with a Birthday cake after I am done with it too...
You know what sucks? Really loving the Spawnpoint community, its servers and playing CS Source and not being able to play. Some of you know and some don't that my parent's house burned down and all of my available time is spent helping them lately. I could still probably play if it weren't for my 180 mile round trip to my latest contract job on top of it.
You know what also sucks? I just installed an 8800GTS and my mom traded my 20" LCD monitor for a new Samsung 22" 3000:1 2ms response monitor and all I have been able to use them for is house designing.
Spawnpoint rocks and fire sucks....
