Everything is okay and then quite suddenly it isn't. My sister Linda in SF has been experiencing frightening symptoms in her apartment, so bad she had to move out when she could ill afford to as every time she went back into it, she had an attack. Finally her son discovered mold in a number of places which they now think is the culprit. Bed bug infestation has suddenly hit the WHo and a number of apt. complexes in Phoenix. That kind of natural disaster sounds funny, but the lengths they are going to have to go to to fumigate an apt that has them is not funny. Several of the residents have already undergone a humiliating experience of having their apt found infested. One took in a homeless girl who had been staying in a shelter which is reputed to be infested. It seems our environment never stays entirely stable for long, so we have to be prepared.Gerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00771917880182186281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-26509418468798303602010-10-16T16:04:07.014-04:002010-10-16T16:04:07.014-04:00What a tragedy, hope she can find a way to recover...What a tragedy, hope she can find a way to recover from this.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-16885255087285615192010-10-16T15:36:44.055-04:002010-10-16T15:36:44.055-04:00Teh phoenix rising from the ashes is a very powerf...Teh phoenix rising from the ashes is a very powerful symbol. I hope all of Colleen's friends will rally round and help her out or can take over when community services are depleted. A very frightening event to happen to a person. I live in a basement suite and let me tell you not a day goes by that I do not think of what I would do in the event of a fire. Yes, what would I take with me? I would be very limited. Nothing is as organized as it should be and perhaps this story about Colleen with spur me into some action. Things can be replaced but people and pets cannot. The latter would be my first priority. Banks rent safe deposit boxes strictly to keep personal items safe and away from harm. Well worth an investment if you have items that would fit in one. Would offer some peace of mind as well. We hope and pray that tragedies such as this never happen to those we love but there are some disturbing people out there who are capable of great harm. I do send my best wishes to Colleen. If she were closer she could stay with me for a while. As friends, rally around her and help her begin her rise. There but for the grace of god go I.pacifica62https://www.blogger.com/profile/03433535460716644295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-87879600733596533042010-10-16T14:58:58.871-04:002010-10-16T14:58:58.871-04:00Meant think you'd be smart to also get the fir...Meant think you'd be smart to also get the fireproof lock box also DB, I know from my days working in the business office of the Fire Prevention and Arson Bureau in Ohio how important something like this is to have to keep your papers, etc. safe.....personally I'd rather keep them in a safe place away from my residence to guarantee their safety.Arlene (AJ)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15447163140897697509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2136983861650322458.post-36651315159392822892010-10-16T14:56:17.724-04:002010-10-16T14:56:17.724-04:00My heart goes out to Colleen and all the others in...My heart goes out to Colleen and all the others in this situation.

I have been thinking about this very thing this week: What would I take in a fire? Would I be disappointed if I lost everything. I am going to get a fireproof lock box next week and put some of the most important things in it. Again, my best to your friend Colleen...
