Ipod + Fire = Bad
[601 byte] By [Pocketmind] at [2007-11-9 12:23:30] 
Well, I longer have my pride and joy. Last Tuesday our house burnt down, and along with losing a dog, all our possesions, and heirlooms, I lost My ModPod, with over 6000 songs. I feel naked. I dug through where my bedroom was and found what was left of it. The only thing that was left was the metal casing on the back of the ipod. I polished it back to it's original splendor and have it sitting on my bookshelf in the guest house. Oh well, this way I can get a new 30gb for the same price as my old 20. As soon as I get my digital camera replaced, I'll post a picture of the casing.

That's not fun...Getting a new one should make you feel better.

Glad your family survived, albeit with losses to posessions and a beloved pet. Hopefully insurance can replace all the items you and your family depend on -- iPod, home appliances, bedding & clothing, etc. I can't imagine losing everything like that... reminds me of when I was 4 or 5 years old and my neighborhood was evacuated because a forest fire was threatening to wipe it out. It didn't, but I remember panicking and (even at that age) realizing I might never see my room and stuff again.Life goes on though, and I'm sure you've got a good family and friends to help you through the transition. And a new iPod sure should help drown out some of the frustration and loss.

My deepest sympathies, Pocketmind, especially for the loss of your dog. My wife and I just lost a 14 year-old Dalmatian (to old age, not accident), so I can certainly sympathize in that regard.Everything else can be replaced, despite how hard it may seem right now. Thankfully, you and your family escaped without injury.
Hang in there - I predict a new iPod is somewhere in your future.

My condolences. :( I have never had an experience with fire, but I do know a little about major disaster from a huge flood that happened in my town in 1997. Best wishes, and sympathy for your losses.christy at 2007-11-15 15:16:57 >

That's cruel...but you clearly were more attached to the iPod than your dog! You did say it was your pride and joy!Still, as you say, you'll get a 30gb one out of it all in the end.
Did you lose all your 6000 tunes that you put on the iPod too? Now that would cap it all off...
