I had to move to a motel because we had a fire in the

manor. We had only 4 hrs to move out of our

apartments. We have 61 apartments to evacuate. It may

take 2 weeks before we can get to our apts.
None of the stamps got damaged.
I am sorry I can’t get to the stamps until I can get

back to the apt.
Your stamp buddy

re: Fire evacuation

Hi
I don't think there is anything more scary than having your home on fire. Very glad you made it out safely. Everything else is pretty well replaceable. All the best.

re: Fire evacuation

The community got together like wouldn’t believe!Thumbs Up Redcross, and a lot of the big restaurants donated a lot of food. I have free rent in a fancy motel (with a weak wy-fi) for a month or longer if need. It is nice but it not like being in my apartment with my stamps.
I was even on the king 5 news last wed. It was only 15 seconds long (not 15 minutes of fame that I would have liked). They just ask what I was going through being homeless. The news was on all the main news in the northwest. But I still want my stampbuddys and stamps. I am board to tearYawns!
O well it will give me time to read this discussion board that I did not have before.
Thanks again for your support!
Your stampbuddy!

A farmer in the field with his cows counted 196 of them, but when he rounded them up he had 200.

re: Fire evacuation

OK folk. Jerry and I started something we shouldn't have. This section of the discussion board is appropriate for Jerry's original post and for replies sending him our support, but not as a "joke board" (and a pretty lame one at thatBig Grin)

To show Jerry how much we love him, and are willing to suffer to provide entertainment for him, I am starting a new post in the "Off Topic: Non Philatelic Discussion" section titled: "Relieving Jerry's Boredom, or Helping Bottom_Fish cope in a Stampless World." Join me there!

re: Fire evacuation

I thought of you Carl when this happened.Day Dreaming We have 2 little towns Aberdeen and Hoquiam together with one street. Think of them as Mayberry with Andy Griffith.Nerd When any thing happens like this the hole community helps out.Big Hug Olympia is about a hundred mile away, and the big restaurants gave us mealsWhen we were in our apartments we had buy our own food. Now in our motels they give us cooked meals free right to our rooms..Thumbs Up The state is paying for the motel rent for 30 days or more if needed and we do not have to pay for our apartment rent while we are out of the apt.
Nice just laying on a king size bed in a $150.00 a knight motel room with a beautiful view .Day Dreaming There is a trail that goes by my window so people can walk it and see the river, today I had 2 Canadian geese eating and resting only 10 feet from my window. They were there for about 1/2 hr. I took pictures and videos of them with my phone.Big Grin
BUT I WANT MY STAMPS!At Wits End I would give all this up if I can just get to my stamps.
There is a lot of people here that is worse off then I am, so I am happy they are getting this help. They deserve it.
Just like Carl this is an adventure that we can tell our children and grandchildren for the rest of our lives.
Write Carl?Happy
Keep the jokes coming!
