    My phone, Possibly my hard-drives but I'd claim the entire computer in the fire so I can buy a new mega super computer, and some clean boxers life sucks in dirty boxers

    My purse
    Cell phone if it wasn't in my purse

    For the third I guess it would depend on where the fire was on if I grabbed my laptop or tablet.

    Honestly I love my cats to death and wouldn't want to give them up for nothing, that being said I am not sure if my house was on fire I would take the time to track their butts down, especially if they were hiding :(

    You would grab your phone before your pets? Wow. You and I are very, very different. I'd probably die myself before I left them behind.

    I know as I read this I thought wow that was really awful sounding. After rethinking that I would save my kitties as well. My mom is always giving me a hard time to "just get rid of them" because its costs to much to buy food and crap. And I tell her I can't do that they are like kids...so in truth I probably would go back for them, not sure who I thought I was kidding...LOL

    1. My sons blanket that he's had since before he was born.

    2. A stuffed animal (frog) that I gave to my Husband when we were teenagers. He carried it around for 15 years, until he found me again on FB. It now sits on my end table.

    3. My purse

    My brother's house burned down a year ago. Faulty wiring in the bedroom. He and his wife were out. They lost everything, including their two dogs and cat.

    I have a box of drawings from my daughter that are irreplaceable.
    My emergency bag (I have one packed for this exact reason)
    My daughter's favorite stuffed animal that she's had since birth that she sleeps with every night

    Photos
    Laptop
    Books

    In reality, I couldn't possibly get all of them, though. I hope I never have to worry about it!

    My phone
    My laptop
    The soft toys I sleep with (I'm counting them as one because there's no way I could choose!). One I've had since I was born and had been sleeping with for every single night up until now. The second one my grandma gave me who has passed away now, and it has a note in it that my best friend who I have not seen in ages had wrote and stuck inside (it's in need desperate need of stitching up....)

    This thread is making me paranoid that my house is going to catch on fire :embarassed:
    A lot of my family's photos are in bulky, old albums so they would be gone :(

    I would grab my phone, purse and laptop if it wasn't near the fire (keep it near the kitchen).

    Having had two house fires, I know the answer. Nothing.

    But, hypothetically:

    A. Engagement ring
    B. the safe
    C. Purse
