STOLEN
Just when I was getting close
Thursday, October 20, 2011 by Uvah | Discussion: Community
Between 5:35 and 6:00 last night my laptop was stolen. Now...I've never been one to bitch about anything but this tears it. I get up to use the bathroom, five minutes and I come back and its gone! Everything I had was on my laptop, everything! A book I worked on for the last six years and was close to the final revision, gone! All the graphics I was given to build the smx for vStyler's Master WB's gone! Every damn thing I had is gone. Bad enough I have to struggle every damn day just to get a freakin' cup of coffee or something to eat and now I got to deal with this!?!? BULLSHIT!!
Bad enough I haven't got a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of and now this. Bad enough I got to deal with being homeless and stuck in this godawful fuckin' town. Now I got nothing...zip, zero zilch nada not a damn thing left! I am so sick and fuckin' disgusted with this shit. I mean...I don't steal, cheat or lie my way through life like so many of these other assholes do. I don't do drugs, I don't drink. What put me here was a couple of injuries that prevent me from doing manual labor but that's all there is. Sitting down is not an option because my legs swell up and I have to keep them elevated. Standing for long periods of time is also not an option as it kills my back. Do I qualify for assistance...no. Why...because according to welfare I'm still capable of working. Working at what? I'm damn near 60 years old. Who the hell is gonna hire an old fart like me? Too old for most jobs. Nobody wants a self taught computer tech because I have no certification, like I need a piece of paper to tell me I know how to do stuff. Just letting you know I'm out of it again and this time I doubt if I'll be able to get back and if I do it won't be for quite some time. The last time I got lucky, an acquaintance that doesn't know me from Adam gave me, not lent me but gave me the 180 dollars to buy a used laptop. She didn't even want me to pay her back. When I tell her this she's gonna freak! there is no way in hell I'm going to ask her or even hint at it. So...vStyler., I'm sorry but I won't be able to finish the skins. Its been fun guys. I can't say when I'll be able to get back here. My bitchin' for the day.

No 2. We should all give all ourselves a big pat on the back for showing that when it really matters we´re there for a friend in need...
Uvahs life took a turn leaning towards catastrophy, and it brought out the best of us in the community and we sorted it... WE are Wincustomize and WE ROCK !!

Uvah, I am so glad so many people responded to your plight. It makes one feel good about the good people in the world but I cannot help but feel bad as well, Three years ago, when I reported on these forums that my computer had been stolen, I received all of 9 comments from the community. I guess you have formed more alliances here than I have. If there is anything I can do to help, feel free to PM me. I recently received a small settlement from my Moms life insurance so am in a position to be a little generous!

I must assume that reply 32 is how we know Uvah's stuff is sorted? I miss something? I certainly hope it is sorted, I still be praying Ross.

Yup, that's the endeavour!!! 
Trouble is, with all the pills I'm taking for this, that and whatever, my body's gotten confuseded and thinks Viagra is a laxative. 
Ah, young love, ain't it grand!
As is having a working biological clock. 
Good to know that Uvah's 'stuff' has been sorted... cos in his own sweet way he is adorable [in a blokey sort of a way]

Texas has a good deal of opportunity these days. Open offer stands. Plenty of room. Good luck and Godspeed. Bless Be.

it's not case sensitive and does not always go through the first time but generally on the second attempt...
I usually send it blank first, then type in the second set of characters, it goes easy. I'm too lazy to type twice...lol.

And your pencils... and your focus... and your wit [which seems to have dulled some since falling off your chair and landing on your head. See, I told you to strap yourself in before settling down to read the 'Saturday Funnies' thread.
Oh, and BTW, don't try to sharpen your biro.. from experience I can tell you it gets a bit messy, ink everywhere.

Quoting starkers, reply 21In a country with the wealth and resources of the US of A, I find it totally ridiculous... even criminal that anyone is homeless... on the streets, living in shelters, etc....
The problem is that the people with all the wealth and resources just don't give a damn. Most of them could care less about the homeless, or anyone else for that matter.
Starkers, I posted the same sentiment on here a long, long time ago. I live here and can't understand our homeless problem. I see how people are caring less and less about each other and it seems the ones who have the most care the least.
Lightstar, you are spot on.
I feel so badly for Uvah. I used to have a laptop I would give, but it too, was stolen. And my insurance wouldn't pay....
This breaks my heart, I know how I would feel if I lost this one!
