Yay reply works, anyway back to your question. There was a little confusionon my part, I think some cross threading was done and in my thread "A very large humi" that question was asked to myself, and I told the person that, cause they wanted to know if it was ok to send them to me. Guess certain things can't be multi-tasked.
dumbass I mean Rich
Rich,
Based on Scottw PMing me and clarifying a couple things, I can understand to a degree why you posted this:
And yes I would gladly accept cigars from anyone who would send them.
[/snippity snip]
I do believe my address is on my profile but I will check and post it if isnt.
From what I was told, HM asked the question:
Can I send you some cigars at least?
Your above post makes some sense, however, you posting "And yes I would gladly accept cigars from
ANYONE," I take issue with that. I understand that HM wants to send some cigars to you, and good on him for doing that, but
why write a statement of accepting a specific member's cigars to also include "anyone?" Why not just say thank you to the specific member for their gift, or handle it privately? Why publicly invite all members, or "anyone," to send you cigars?
You have made multiple posts that contradict one another in regards to your story of the house you were dwelling in. It begins that it is
your house that burned down, and all of your family possessions:
The resulting hiatus of my laps of the forums was due to the house myself and my family stayed at. It caught fire and we lost everything from clothes, to furniture, my coolidor, all the things that are right in your face on a daily basis.
Obviously, you don't state it is
YOUR house specifically, but the idea is there when you move on to talk about the destroyed items such as the furniture, clothing,
and of course...your cigars. You move on to tell a horrible tale that I hope I will never have to endure, about
how you went back in multiple times to bravely fight the fire three times, but finish that it is now time for you to heal and
wait for the nightmares to cease. Okay, so moving on.
Your
next post comes after a few well-wishers where you openly talk about how you're frustrated with the postal system, largely due to the fact that your friends have items being sent to you, but they aren't there.
You go on to state that they would greatly help, being as you are out of work and all. Although that is quite upsetting, you tell us that
there is nothing you can do but "do the daily fight, day by day."
In your
next post, you tell us that it was
actually a friend's house that was burnt down, not yours, and those people had no house insurance and were too cheap to buy it. This is where I become confused, because I thought it was YOUR house that burned down, completely engulfing your possessions, furniture, and of course your cigars.
In your
next post,
we find out that the house belonged to your girlfriend's brother, and you had moved in to help them out with bills, which turned out to be a load of crap and they ended up taking advantage of your kindness. But, apparently it turned out fine because they were able to quickly sell a burned down house.
Some members ask for clarification of your posts, and in
this post, you finally clarify that if was actually
just the room you and your family stayed in that burned down and engulfed all of your possessions such as furniture, clothing, and of course your cigars,
not the actual house.
In
this post, you tell us your first hand account of what happened on that fateful day, and go on to list
specifically what was lost in the fire:
For the next week sifting thru ashes sucked, I did find the metal emblem that was on the Comacho box and 6 cigars that did make it out of the 200 in the coolidor,
You also go on to add that you just found out your wife/girlfriend/common-law partner is now pregant again. So, based on this post, we know that
you lost approximately 194 cigars in this tragic event. After being questioned about the items that were lost in the fire, you finally answer about the box of Camachos that belonged to the metal emblem you found, and your
reply is that
it was actually an empty box of Camachos with a few Romeo y Julieta cigars inside, and not a full box as was previously believed. At the end of your post, you seem mildly frustrated, saying that you came here to vent and not be put on the spot answering "20 questions."
I'll tell you why so many people are asking questions Rich. From where I sit, it seems to me like the facts of the situation continually change, the more questions are being asked, but one factor remains the same: How many cigars you lost in the fire. Although a house fire is a tragic event to be sure, the constant reminder in many of your posts about how many cigars you lost, and even the specific post requesting "anyone" to send cigars to you comes off as mildly suspect.
I can be wrong, and I'll be the first to admit when I am, but I'm just telling you exactly what it looks like in an informed, well-researched, polite way. It looks like you're using the situation to get some replacement smokes.
