It looks as though everything that sucked about my life went away in the fire.

Not fucking Job, not fucking Job! Why, why that petty, patheticaly oft quoted Biblical stupidity?

Hily I will have to beat you for that.

Sorry.

Neal, Forgive me but I happen to think that the book of Job has literary value, especially relevant to this particular story.

I'll replace it with the text message that I sent you last night so that you don't feel spiritually threatened. :> Hilly

After dealing with the challenge of using brazilian software that speaks portuguese and lots of file format changes I can still say that I am only just getting started. Sheesh.

I'm talking about other things, so don't mind me.

haha, that was funny Mitchell. Don't they speak Portuguese in Brazil or is that Argentina? I think it is Brazil, I could check but then what would be the point of any of my typing this then?

You are forgiven Hil, and will not be beaten as it is gone. But, while there is some relevance to Job superficially, I think perhaps ascribing it all to some sort of super santa clause on steroids is just silly. (Especially that specific, kill your kids sort of story.)
Rather I prefer, a more balance in all things approach (I disagree with entropy and disorder theorists here, the Universe seeks balance, harmony not disorder, duh--silly physicists).
A sort of Derridian killed so that you might live, Christlike give up material possessions so that you might gain more important immaterial happinesses. Yada yada…

Yup, Portuguese in Brazil. Had to know, by the end of the post it had become just enough of a mystery that I had to look.

Neal, your ability to be spiritually offended and threatened by a reference to a god I don't even -worship- is a little over the top.

I think your preist did something to you.
