1990 Mustang LX - project neglect

Well shit! No where to go but up...
Sorry you are having such a bad run..

[STINEY]

No way..........that's awful man. I'm sure that place held tons of memories, unreal timing.

Hang in there friend.

Just saw this thread.... Dang Beagle, sorry to hear about all the losses. Life can really really suck hard at times. Don't be too much of a stranger around here, this place can a good escape from reality sometimes.

Sorry to hear things are sucking so hard. Sometimes life kicks you when you're down...and keeps kicking. My trick is to curl up in the fetal position with my back against the wall until it gets tired and moves on to the next poor @$$hole. Barring that, strong drink and loose women are also a balm that worked well in my youth. For you responsible adult types, I got nothin'. Stiff upper lip, Deaf Bob seems to have the right idea...

In the words of messrs McCartney and Lennon,
"I've got to admit it's getting better
(Better)
A little better all the time
(It can't get no worse)"

Just tuning in, OMG, sorry to hear about your dad! Take the time you need.

Fire sucks, Dad's shop / barn burned when I 15 lost trucks tractor and countless tools. The only thing worse would be a house fire. Now sounds like a good time to deside where you want to be. Build it like you would want it or its one less house to keep up. I am trying to make lemonade.

We had a house fire about 8 years ago. The new toaster we never used, well maybe once caught fire. The cabinets caught fire when no one was home. Luckily one of the volunteer fireman lived a couple blocks from us and stopped at the house first, pulled open the kitchen casement window and knocked down the fire with the garden house. Luckily there was no structural damage. My fire doesn't compare to yours but that was bad enough. Can't imagine what you're going through.

The only advice I can give you is step back and catch your breath before doing anything. All state wanted to give me $15 a day living expenses for a family of four. Not per person but for all four of us! It went down hill from there.

The good part was all the pets were fine. One cat who doesn't play well with others was in our bedroom with the door shut. Our Aussie Soozie, had shepperd the other dog and 2 cats into the bathroom for safety. She was one smart dog!

I am afraid I am late to this news. I haven't looked in a while. My condolences on the loss of your dad and friend. Feel blessed that you had years of a great relationship. Many sons have nothing in common and barely a relationship at all with their dads. Mine passed in 2000. It was pretty quick, but hit hard. The one thing that consoled me is that we had a great decade as friends. Before that, we were estranged. I know this isnt helpful at the moment. Maybe later.

Sorry to hear about the house too. Hoping it was insured well.
