It could always be worse...

So about 3am this morning, someone decided to have too much to drink and park their Nissan in my living room.

Me, wife, ferrets are all fine. The Living Room is totalled.
The upshot? If you were expecting anything from me, it will have to wait till I find a new home.
You could buy our book if you wanted to make me feel better though ;)

Misfortune caused by the stupidity of others...I hope whatever happens next leads to the same or better lifestyle.

Best wishes to you are your family. I second the wish that you get your life back as good as (or better than) it was prior to this event.

How does one respond to an event like this? I'm glad that you and your family (and yes your Ferrets) are OK, but angry that in-duh-viduals still roam. I see the airbag deployed. Gee, too bad. Waste of a perfectly good airbag. Best wishes to you are your family. I second the wish that you get your life back as good as (or better than) it was prior to this event.
Keep us informed when you can.

That's insanity. They must have been going pretty darn fast to go through the fence and do that much damage.

I sincerely hope everything works out well in the coming weeks.

Eeeek. You're correct; it could be worse but that's hardly any consolation. Glad you're okay physically, I hope you're okay mentally. I know I'd be crazy.I sincerely hope everything works out well in the coming weeks.

Man, I'm so glad all the living things are allright, never thought I'd know someone who actually was on the receiving end of someone's (drunken ?) driving mishaps against their house...
Wow, I know someone who's living room was invaded by a car : kind of stuff you see in the news, not in a buddy's blog.
And that fucktard was driving pretty fast too...
Hope the loss of the material things is not getting to you in too big a way...
You have my most kind thoughts
Best wishes for house hunting !!

If cars were invented today they'd never get approved for use by the general public...

Damn, Ed... what a nightmare!! Glad you seem to have a good attitude about it, but sorry for the loss of all your stuff! :-( If cars were invented today they'd never get approved for use by the general public...

Wow, glad everythings okay. It is worse to be the guy who ran into your house though, police, insurance, and the GG community are going to rip him a new one as he deserves :)

Fuck that would be one hell of a shocking thing to wake up into. I hope the guy didn'd accidently get hurt when he tried to stumble out of his car when he realized that he just trashed the fifedom of a geek :)
