While she obviously doesn't bear full responsibility for it, it also seems as though she bears at least SOME responsibility for it. I mean, you make bad choices, the outcomes of those choices are yours to own.

I agree with ECH here. It sucks that this happened, but again, if you make bad decisions, well, you made the decision.

I didn't quite catch, Da6, did she have insurance, or not? Does she get anything?

I was lucky, I just had bought insurance only 6 months before (only a few euros a month, btw) and I got refunded everything, agent called it "total loss" and I got €15k.


Nope, she didn't have any insurance. Lost everything in the living room (tv, futon, couch, chair, various stocked bookshelves). Lost everything in the dining room/kitchen (table, chairs, desk, pots, pants, glasses, cups, plates, every kitchen thing imaginable pretty much). Lost everything in her kids play room (including all the kids toys)/hallway/attire closet/main bathroom with all hair utensils. Both of her roommates pets died, and their bodies did a vanishing act a la animal control.

Her bedroom and her roommates bedroom were mostly ok. Minor heat damage (she had comic book covers and a few action figures melt), but the rest seems salvageable.


She lawyered up, and has to go to the knox pd station to make a statement tomorrow. Oh, and they have confirmed it was indeed arson, and there was indeed accelerant in the carpet remains.


She's also been incredibly bitter towards me for not spending excess of 600 dollars to get my ass into town to be there as physical support for her in this, knowing that i'm pretty much broke for another month or two at least. I'm getting the feeling it's the signal of the beginning of the end.


I think the overall problem was a very poor judgement call in who she could trust as one of her inner circle. She's mentioned in almost total despair how she doesn't think she'll ever be able to truly trust a "friend" like that again.
We appear to be doomed by our DNA to repeat the same destructive behaviors our forebears have repeated for millenia. If anything our problem solving skills have actually diminished with the advent of technology & our ubiquitous modern conveniences. & yet despite our predisposition towards fear-driven hostility; towards what we anachronistically term primitive behavior another instinct is just as firmly encoded in our make-up. We are capable as our ancestors were of incredible breathtaking acts of kindness. Every hour of every day a man risks his life at a moments notice to save another. Forget for a moment the belligerent benevolent billionaires who grant the unfortunate a crumb of costfree cake. I speak of pure acts of selflessness. A Mother who rushes into the street to save a child from a speeding vehicle. A person who runs into a burning building to reach a family trapped on the upper story. Such actions,such moments,such unconscious selfless decisions,define what it is to be human

Yes, and more importantly, to learn from. Unfortunately, she sounds like a moron.

She apparently met up with her lawyer this morning, he called the pd and asked, with her sitting in the room, what they wanted to talk with her about. They said "We can't discuss that with you" to which he responded, " ok then, well, she doesn't feel up to talking to you. So if you need to talk to her, you can call me."


Now in her naivety she thinks it's over. Hell, she even sent me a text saying "$500 to make them go away. Money well spent." I really don't know how to tell her "uh, this was done against you, you kind of want to comply you know".

Oh my god I don't even want to know.  Moron drama is why I don't have those kinds of people in my life. Forget that I asked.

:lulz:

For anyone else curious, they talked to the prime suspect, arsonist dealer buddy, and he pretty much defamed her in every way imaginable, damming to the point where she was terrified of possibly losing custody of her child. He pretty much made her out to be an unstable 2 bit druggy whore.

She talked to her biological father, confessed everything to him (pot use, everything), and he advised her to get a lawyer before giving the cops her statement.

She did such.

Well, we know that she's unstable, a druggie, and a stripper.

The whore part not so much.

Which could explain why she wanted to get a lawyer out of fear of her own ass.

Sometimes it takes shit like this to make people grow up.  Or she's trying not to lose her child.  Either one is a step in the right direction.

She just called me. She quit her job at the strip club. She's moving in with her biological father, and she's going to find legit work and get back in school.


I'm kind of in shock. Never saw this coming from the pre-fire ambitionless stripper.

Well, this could go one of two ways.  Hopefully, it's the non-nervous breakdown way.
