1. These "parties" are so stupid. Another self absorbed bunch of shit, like selfies

and youtube videos. Everything about themselves, look at us, give us presents. I am so over it. This fire is not the first one caused by this silly exercise. Have a party, serve pink or blue cake or drinks to announce the gender. That should be enough, and I even think that is a bit much.

She had been ready assuming it was going to take them at some point. Once they told them to evacuate, the loaded the horse in a trailer, filled the bed of the pickup with their things and headed for their daughters home a 100 miles away. I think that is why this makes me so angry. What makes your brain think that it was a good idea to do what they did for that party other than being totally self absorbed. Sorry, just really pissed for my friend and her husband.

They had a large lot with a small barn for their horse and a large garden space. It was beautiful and paid for since they are now in their late 60's. She was in tears when I talked to her last night.
