Nice thing about a trailer. Clean up the mess and put another right on the spot.

Wait until they figure out they can do that with houses as well.

I had a partial amputation of my big toe this morning.

But I got a banana pudding out of it too - so it worked out.

Sorry about your home and am sure a better one is ahead.

My sympathies to you! A difficult experience to overcome. I hope this turns out to be a temporary speed bump in your life.

House trailers (mobile homes) can be easy enough to come by...

It's the moving of them which can cost. But then you know this.

News...I pray that those needing a decent one removed will make noises enough you will come across the announcement.

It would be nice if they were so inclined to share in with costs of having a mobile home they no longer wanted and needed "gone" be moved. For they've got to be moved, or dismantled in place, which also costs $$$.

Put an ad in your local papers? Perhaps even a local craigslist -- but be prepared to look gift horses in the mouth, too? Be polite of course -- and pray the Lord will give you just the right words to say, to just the right people. You never know. Some person one may least expect could hear just the right words, and then tell someone else, etc.

It comes to mind...that when or if the Lord would go this route...let others be blessed by being His vessels. It may be the very thing they need to set them on better paths.

That's a happier way to look at it than --- I was thirsty and hungry -- and you helped me not. It's a bummer to be the one that keeps getting passed by.

Ah, but the Salvation Army. One can hardly go wrong donating to that outfit. They have just about the lowest adminstrative overhead costs of them all. In fact --- aren't they so far ahead of just about all the rest (in efficiency as to low admin costs, salaries, etc) that it isn't even funny?

Even though some "use" 'em, perhaps, in any charity one has to be willing to help those who maybe should have helped themselves more -- to reach those who for whatever reasons could not.

Sorry for your loss. I lost everything myself a while back. After you get new stuff, things get better. Took me a few years to stop looking for the things I used to have.

Love to see your attitude and sense of humor are intact, unlike your mobile home. Hope you can recoup from this loss sooner than later. Glad you have help. You have lots of friends and moral support in Freeperland. Stiff upper lip.

So sorry to hear that. Great news about the pooch - it's a whole different thing when life is lost. God was looking out for you.

Prayers up and a BTT.

So very sorry to hear this. Many of us probably feel the same, like those words are so inadequate.....Prayers being sent that you and yours recover from this soon. Thank goodness your pup was okay, that’s a big ray of sunshine and lots of love right there!

It sounds like you have some good friends and a good church to help out, which is great. I do hope you can find a replacement mobile home soon. Good luck moving forward.

Better that yours. I got stiffed by a company I was doing some contracting for. It's only money.

Didn't lose any body parts, but no banana pudding...

Thank Yehovah that you still have your family and your beloved pet; along with brothers and sisters in Christ willing to lend a hand. Stay strong.
