I have bee subscribing to LJ for 14 years now and have noticed he influence you have had on it, and have enjoyed your contributions, you have been doing an excellent job. On the bright side, you will be ale to get your house rebuilt to a new spec. with high insulation values to reduce the cost of heating/energy, maybe even a 12/24v power supplied built in, which would make it safer too. Best wishes from the UK So sorry to hear the bad news, but also pleased to hear you are all ok, which at the end of the day is the main thing.

The whole situation sucks but at least the real and online community are helping. Personally I think you should find a way to blame the whole thing on Wil Wheaton but thats just me.

Glad, but not surprised. If there's anyone I've met in the last few years who embodies the concept of "community", it's you. To anyone else who is following, Shawn mentions his "friend Josh". Shawn introduced me to Josh sometime last year and to be honest, if there are two people who'd be expected to disagree on <em>everything</em> you can imagine...it's me and Josh. But guess what...Josh totally walks the walk. I'm proud to kinda, sorta know him. He's a total <em>mensch</em>. (Look it up.) Back to you Shawn... Email me when you're ready for Pizza Night. :D I already know who to call! Shawn,

Thank you so much. What a loving family you have and YES you and your family do deserve to be wrapped in the love of the church family and our community. It also wonderful that the many people that only know you online have so willingly reached out to help. I heard yesterday that the fund was up to $8000. I haven't checked today, but Praise God! I have posted it on my FB and will probably do so again. Much love to you and your family. Will to think of some comfort things for the girls or try to get ahold of Donna and ask what would be good.

One of the greatest things in life is being able to give help to others in time of need. I just wish you and your family the very best that can be.

We know Donna through you and from her own posts as well. You're both good people. I'm glad you're taking the help that's been offered. I'm completely amazed at how the community has come together. I'm proud (and a little humbled myself) to be a part of it. Hang in there and know we're thinking of you!

Hopefully the insurance will start moving things along soon, but it will take time. The important thing is that your family except for your pets did not get hurt or worse.

I've been pleased by all the interest shown in your situation -- not just by the Linux Journal staff, but by readers, strangers... heck, even Wil Wheaton and John Scalzi! Apparently the "nice guy geek" thing pays off eventually. =) Please know that you, Donna and the girls are in my prayers daily. I am looking for another way to help, and you may have given it to me here. Donations and cash can't bring back your home and your pets, but it can make this time a little less rough. I don't know that I believe in karma, but I do believe that if you walk through life treating other people with love, respect, and dignity, that will come back to you when you need it most. You and your family are loved! I’m so glad y’all are doing as well as can be expected.
