Thanks. I have a place to stay and State Farm and Walter Ciucevich and  staff have been helpful and pleasant. Walter was there as fast as the  fire engines,  I had to laugh when he said “This is easy, it’s a total loss!” I am still klutzing with first time lap top use, so many of the notes on Facebook say “more” that this unit won’t read in less than a week. Will send this to Chatlist so some will know I am 368 emails unread. Stretch Keeney brought me sport coats that fit great. Will have to go back to Walmart for another pair of khakis and another dress shirt, but bought enough socks and underwear for the foreseeable future.

I so appreciate your and all the other many notes and offers of a place to stay and furnishings. Have a warm jacket. Can’t dress for a funeral just yet and have to make some decishons about rebuilding on the spot or moving to a retirement commusgnity. Mainly right now I wish this computer would stop jumping around so I could answer and even read all the wonderful notes and have a realistic basis to let you know what’s what.

But the main thing is the kind concern so many have expressed that has helped me keep my sanity. Maybe you can find out which fireman saved my computer!? Jodi Buchon at TriTech in Siler City miraculously recovered my documents and email! Hey, Jodi, could you maybe find my password document off my desktop?

Thanks again to all of you. My home was my spot, and there was no place else I would rather be. And honest, I was trying to straighten out the mess!
