Chris's next :tugboat:will be coming in soon. I bet that he's going to spend all of that on Legos and his momma won't have much money left to spend on food or McD chicken nuggets on him. Next month will most likely be him complaining about how he has to eat less. He's already malnutritioned in the first place and actually starving but doesn't feel it. Soon, he will though when he complains of his stomach growling or his stomach in pain. If he survives next month, it would be a wonder though.

Then, he'll just call that the growling emptiness that the trolls hath wrought on his soul, much like his steel-plated, non-cholesterol-related heart pains.
 
Usually when people's houses burn down, they take stock of their life and focus on fulfilling the most important needs - food, clean water, toiletries, basic clothing, a warm place to sleep. Hopefully this person had time to grab important things such as identification, laptops, important papers, etc during the fire. Once all that is secured, they may go through the remnants of their house if possible and salvage what valuables they can - photo albums, childhood mementos, and other items of sentimental value. Generally it is accepted that once such items are lost, they can not be replaced unless there was foresight to place such items in a fire-proof safe. If important papers such as birth certificates, identification, or passports have been lost in the fire, this is generally next on the list of items to obtain/replace after basic needs.

Time for finding a new home varies depending on each individual, their previous situation, and future needs (single person vs a whole family, apartment vs a full house, etc, as well as funding, insurance money, and so on) Once the person(s) are settled into their new home, it is understandable that they may want to return to their former quality of life by replacing certain items that have been lost, like entertainment systems, vidya, and such, but generally people will wait a while for luxuries, as it takes a while to recover from a fire financially unless you're rich or had a really good insurance plan As we all know, losing your house in a fire is devastating, even if we have never experienced this for ourselves.

Usually people who survive a house fire will have a new look on life, realize what is really important (a support network, friends, etc) and what one really needs in life to be comfortable, when you are in a situation where such items as a warm place to sleep or clean underwear is not so easily accessible (especially after the fire eats your bed and underwear) it teaches you what you can live with and live without.

It's clear at this point that Chris has learned NOTHING. I shouldn't be surprised, but I am still disgusted.
 
Chris's house burned down, so a bunch of people decided to show compassion. Nothing wrong with that. If Chris continues to ask for handouts, all you have to say is "what'd you do with the thousand bucks we gave you?"

"But I AM SUFFERING SO MUCH STILL! I am not able to rebuild the, uh, I cannot remake my old LEGO creations because of my Tugboat being taken by my Mother!"

I dont know why but that picture makes me sad
 
Maybe he'd try to hock them.

I can see him trying to do this, depending on how badly he wanted something that he couldn't get via a grocery store. Chris likes to eat, but I can see him hocking the grocery cards assuming that someone will buy him food or send him more giftcards. He'd have this entitled sense of "I-if the DANG STUPID IDIOTS had sent me a card to WALMART THEN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS!"

He might try to sell them on eBay, but odds are he'd stand outside of the grocery store with a small sign about him wanting to sell giftcards. Only he would be all shifty (as per normal) and Chris might not automatically say that they're gift cards because he'd rightfully assume that the store would chase him off if he were to hold up a sign saying "will sell $40 giftcard for (insert money amount here)".
 
I really wish somehow Chris could be presented with an offer of "Okay, so should I send you a gift card for Food Lion (or any place that ONLY sells food) since things are tough or do you want me to send you some legos?"

I feel like his answer would be priceless.

I think it'd work out like "Julie reveals herself". Chris will say that he wants the gift card for food, but will believe that he deserves both the card and the legos for "making the right choice."
