      Someone committed suicide in the last building I lived in, the entire place burned down, I lost all of my furniture. But at least I can solder.

          A woman is dead, and 36 families ended up homeless. I slept in my car for a week and then my sister’s garage for 2 months due to this. I lost most of the things I own but I’m still happy because I have a new home after all of the struggle, and I get to solder things.

          “Good joke, man”

              Thanks for the confidence boost!

              Life has been a complete piece of shit to me for the last 4 years, and in fact, my car just got totaled 2 days ago and I got badly injured. A 90-year-old man who should not have been driving fell asleep at the wheel and totaled 4 vehicles.

              That’s after it died on the very FINAL trip of my desperation move 5 weeks ago which happened on my birthday, which I also had to do completely by myself. After not eating for 40 straight hours. Then have it towed five blocks away to the tune of $165, and undertake the cost of replacing the alternator! In a car that is now completely destroyed. Weee!

              But I don’t focus on the challenges, I always try to stay positive and live true and be happy and do the things I like 🙂

            Someone said that to you? How heartless.

            I’m glad to hear you at least have somewhere to live again…

            Oh, I see, I think people interpreted my comment as if I was making light of the situation. That’s not how I meant it.
