Hilariously enough David Schmimmer's mother was the divorce attorney for my mother. Imagine my pleasure, every single time.

He belongs in a roach trap

Holy cow. That' s my mother's neighborhood. I used to babysit up there on Sunswept.

Thank you, David. My brother is off Crescent Heights as well. This is terribly vexing.

Thank you for posting. My mom is off Laurel Cyn near Fryman. I am calling her now.

May we uplift one another!

Insurance and FEMA were meaningless with my whole way of life turned upside down. It took more than a year to get back on my feet, and I considered myself lucky.

Thirty years ago, I lost my home, my joy of life, and almost every treasure of my young adulthood. My fortune was found in the love of good friends and family, and in the kindness of strangers.

Tens or maybe hundreds of thousands of people, families, and business amid these firestorms face terrible, soul-crushing ordeals in the days and months ahead.
