As if the catastrophic fire last Thursday wasn’t bad enough, Joseph and Cindy Reid are now realizing they were grossly underinsured by Liberty Mutual.

"Before the snow, it looked like Baghdad," Joseph Reid said."It's brutal."

They moved to Boulder County from the Atlanta area, looking for a fresh start and following their daughter and son-in-law out to Colorado. It was a move made out of necessity.Reid's daughter is severely immunocompromised. Medical issues have had her in and out of surgery for years. "One time, recently, we had to return to Atlanta for treatment," Joseph Reid said."The neurosurgeon there said her cerebral-spinal fluid pressures were not compatible with life. She was then airlifted to Mount Sinai almost immediately, and they pulled her back. They saved her. She's enormously brave. She's my hero. I can't imagine I would be as well put together as she is under these circumstances.

"One of the conditions I have is exacerbated by the heat and humidity," Joanna Reid said."We moved to Louisville, and Louisville is just the sweetest little town.""I thought, well, maybe we'll be leaving for a few days because of the smoke," said Joanna Reid's mother, Cindy Stark-Reid."Never, ever, ever did it dawn on me that we would lose our house.

Family Sues for Damages Over Clubhouse Pool Swim Diaper BanJack Yeager and Simone Yeager claim their diaper-clad granddaughter’s civil rights were violated when she was ejected from the pool. So was she wearing a real swim diaper or a regular diaper that explodes when it gets submerged in water. I’m guessing the latter. And nobody is discriminating against your goddamn un-potty trained toddler running around in a close to exploding diaper full of pee and pool water I am never going to be in the same pool with a kid wearing diapers. Absolutely pathetic 🙄

Family confronts mayor after son dies in attempted traffic stop crashThe parents of Stanley 'SJ' Davis III, a 13-year-old boy who died after his dirt bike crashed during an attempted traffic stop, are urging city officials to hold police accountable for his death. It would be great if the family admitted that the boy was breaking the law by driving the dirt bike on public roads and that THEY bear some responsibility for allowing him to do it. Plenty of blame to go around. Not just the police . So due to his own actlions while breaking the law, he overestimated his own skills, crashed and died. That's sad and very tragic. It was also his own fault. Hmmm..13 and already running from the police
