    My living room ceiling just totally collapsed... everything is ruined. :-(

    The house I have in the USA (150 years old incredible house) is where I keep the bulk of my "stuff." Every piece in the house has been carefully selected and each piece comes from a part of the world that I have traveled to and returned with the item(s). It truly is a collection of my travels and the last 10 years of my life.

    The living room is my favorite area. It has a "Shangri-la" feel to it with antique Buddhas everywhere, oversized plush furniture, teak wood and very expensive tables from various parts of Asia.

    I have been away for 3 weeks and just got word that due to pipes in the ceiling bursting, my entire ceiling collapsed and just about everything in the room is totally ruined from water damage.

    While insurance will probably pay for it, there are some things you just can't put a price on. It's not like I can run out to Pier One to replace these items.

    I'm so sad I want to curl up and cry.

          Years ago I rented a condo in Danville, California. We had a bunch of house guests and we took a number of showers back to back over an hour long period. I looked outside the window and thought it odd that it was raining outside while it was so sunny.

          It turns out the pipes couldn't handle the load and had started leaking. The "rain" I saw was really water gushing out of the top of the window. Half an hour later the ceiling gave way.

                  God, that does suck. Luckily every time a pipe has burst where I was living at, I was home to kill it before it did any major damage. It is a bit un-nerving to see water running out of a light fixture that is turned on.

                      I am sorry to hear that & I can relate to your loss as I had a home fire back in 2001 & lost everything to smoke & water damage.

                      Now that I have a sizeable firearms & edged weapons collection I need to make sure I get insurance on it as well as take measures to protect & preserve it. I am thinking of having custom plexiglass cases designed & built that will be airtight, waterproof, fireproof, climate controlled, etc..

                      I am reserving a whole room in the house & designing it similar to museum quality to house my weapons collection.

                      I know what you mean about things that can not be replaced..

                      I'd be fucking ripshit going apeshit right now if I were in your shoes..

                        Let this be a lesson to you.

                        You should not form attachments to objects.
                        They are just a piece of stone/metal. You can't take it with you into afterlife.

                        Do something productive instead of collecting meaningless shit.

                            I know how you feel, I've been there; and I'm not calling you shallow, but your situation reminds me of:



                            You know, it could be worse.

                            A woman could cut off your penis
                            while you sleep and toss it out of a car.

                            There's always that. I don't know.

                            When you buy furniture,
                            you tell yourself, that's it.
                            That's the last sofa I'll need.
                            Whatever happens,
                            that sofa problem is handled.
                            I had it all.
                            I had a stereo that was very decent.
                            A wardrobe that was getting very respectable.
                            I was close to being complete.

                            - Shit, man. Now it's all gone.

                            - All gone.

                            All gone.
                            Do you know what a duvet is?

                            - A comforter.

                            - It's a blanket.

                            Just a blanket. Why do guys
                            like you and I know what a duvet is?
                            Is this essential to our survival
                            in the hunter-gatherer sense?

                            No.

                            What are we, then?


                            I dunno. Consumers.

                            Right. We're consumers.
                            We are by-products of a lifestyle obsession.
                            Murder, crime, poverty.
                            These things don't concern me.
                            What concerns me are celebrity magazines,
                            television with 500 channels,
                            some guy's name on my underwear. Rogaine.
                            Viagra. Olestra.

                            - Martha Stewart.

                            - Fuck Martha Stewart.
                            She's polishing the brass on the Titanic.
                            It's all going down.

                            So fuck off with your sofa units
                            and Strinne green stripe patterns.

                            I say never be complete.
                            I say stop being perfect.
                            I say let's evolve.
                            Let the chips fall where they may.
                            But that's me, and I could be wrong.
                            Maybe it's a terrible tragedy.

                            It's just stuff. Not a tragedy...

                            You did lose a lot of versatile solutions
                            for modern living.

                            Fuck, you're right. I don't smoke.

                            My insurance is probably gonna cover it, so...

                            What?

                            The things you own end up owning you.

                            Do what you like, man.
