Thinking about hypothetical situations... I don’t expect this to be answered, just writing what’s on my mind atm. ...
I think this is fascinating so I am going to go with it
... If you had 30 seconds to evacuate due to a natural disaster, no back up plan, and unable to return ever, what is important?
The good news is my wallet, phone, and keys are usually ready to grab in the kitchen on the way out the door! Child, husband, dog in the car. Cat if she was easy to find.
The upside is lots of things are online now, so our savings is at our finger tips instead of in a safe in the closet or something. Lots of pictures and such can just be printed again. There are only a few belongings I would be truely sad to have lost in this type of situation, but I dont tend to put alot of sentamentality into things, and the useful items I really like I could in theory replace. (I assume we are talking local natural disaster,not end of the world as we know it)If you could go back in time and change 3 things in your life, would you or would you keep everything the same? Butterfly effect…etc.
Keep the same, I am afraid of the butterfly effect for sure, and pretty happy in my current life so not worth throwing that away!3 -

30 secs? ok
1. my life
2. I love you
3. served in the military, taken better care of my skin in my early years and started investing in my retirement much earlier.
Thank you for answering. I honestly wasn't expecting it, because I know that those kind of questions can be heavy or deeply personal for some. I sometimes wish there was a thread for these hypothetical situations with variables and see how people would answer, but don't think it would fare well because I find myself even hesitant to participant.4legsRbetterthan2 wrote: »Thinking about hypothetical situations...

I love seeing your answers. Thank you. I think these kind of questions are interesting as well and like to think about different scenarios and then throw in variables. I honestly don't know how I would answer 1 or 3. For number 2. I'd say, "I'm sorry". Question Number 1 - I was thinking that getting out alive with the people I love being safe was a given and was thinking more about would it be, sentimental or practical. I think it's all of the natural disasters and things happening around the world that has me pondering this kind of stuff.0 -
The unnecessary innuendo's !3

haha, the two things that came to mind are dog food (because she eats a brand that I can only get from one store and sometimes suddenly changing a pets food can cause yuck to happen) and a painting of my first horse that is irreplacable. I honestly cant decide between the two, with the exception of the dog food is closer to the door.
so....both for me I guess
maybe talking about my wallet, phone, keys first counts as practical too? definitely aint getting far fast without keys though so not sure how much they count as a decision or just plain required1 -

1)With assuming loved ones (including pets) are already safe, I’d probably just grab my purse since I usually keep everything I might need in there. If I could find it, my garnet ring that was passed down in my family as a single item I can think of. It used to be in my purse but I moved it to a jewelry box. 🤔 I should put it on a necklace... (too fat to wear it rn)
2) probably “I love you” I’d assume. To who though?
3) change three things in my past
-I’d graduate high school, kinda always regretted dropping out because I wasn’t dumb, I was crazy depressed. I still have reoccurring dreams about high school.
- I’d left all of my relationships sooner
- I’d have punched that manager in the face because I’m sure it would have been worth it

1. probably would grab my emergency bag by the front door, a nerf blaster, goose feather necklace, PC and belt then i'd scoot. the rest can burn if it has to.
2. "not a day has passed for me that didn't already belong to you"
3. i'd def try to change things but not for me directly.
- would make my dad's dad stay instead of bailing on his family when my dad was just a kid.
- would make my mom's dad be less of an overbearing *kitten* and more of a dad when she needed it the most.
- would make my brother get out from under the evil old lady 4th grade teacher he had at the time, and instead get in the classroom with the 4th grade teacher I ended up with the following year.
i figure those 3 things would cause a massive butterfly effect in the best ways for my own family so i'd def roll the dice on it.4 -
I wish we could make some people wear a sign that says "i are an idiot"2

Various tragedies -Two of my mom’s 14 yr old cats died today. One was Shadow, who I’ve mentioned was sick. Also his fluffy orange brother D’Angelo or “DD”
“DD” was the one who got to play mom when their actual mom weened them off her so they all suckled on DD. 🤣 Poor guy was all wet. He was very sweet and a rich pumpkin sort of orange.
My aunt just got her leg amputated at the knee. She had some sort of heart failure???? Her legs hadn’t been doing well and ya, she lost one. It’s hard to get any information. For a while we didn’t even know if she was still alive. She’s my mom’s last relative and mom’s talking about seeing her in “the next few months”.... like her life is just so busy that she has to wait. 😒 Her life, her sister. 🤷🏻♀️13 -

@OpheliaCooter @MaltedTea @PAWGliacci -
It’s nice to see a little bit under the surface, so thank you for answering. Pawgliacci’s answer on 3 - made me think how that would be another interesting variable. Ex: What if you couldn’t change things for you but were given the option to change one thing for someone else. Would you or would you leave it be? What if you kept everything the same, but somebody in your life, past, present decided they’d change something and how those choices would affect life. Anyways…just thinking out loud. Thank you all for answering.2 -

I love these kind of threads! - thank-you! Mind engaging, and fun!
Hope you have a wonderful, inspiring, beautiful day of your life today! Enjoy your moments❣
#1 - Work bag and purse (right by the door and well supplied for at least 1 day meal, clothes - that is an instantaneous grab literally right beside my keys - so I'd also grab the 1L water from cupboard and my laptop (which also has the power cable attached b/c the battery sucks) and be out the door - no need for shoes - I have like 5 pair in my car!
#2 - I'm sorry I didn't know how to be more present - I'm haunted by it in retrospect of my 'life-scape' and am trying to learn from my 'absence'. I loved you (all) more than I ever showed.
#3 - Change 3 things...yes (*kitten* the butterfly effect - I have regerts!)
a) followed my 'dreams' - just to know
b) been stronger, earlier (in my will to be 'me')
c) was 'able' to express myself to those I care about, and what they did and or do mean to me

My Garmin watch recently died, and I replaced it with a newer version and includes a “body battery” metric — why can’t I recharge my body battery? Pain? Stress? Being anxious? …it lies?!?! I’m pretty sure most days it’d read “dead” — at the end of day — instead of “drained” if that were an option 😂3

Ooh boy....
30 seconds to evacuate?
Idealistically I'd like to think I'd have the smarts to grab my car keys, credit card and my iphone. But knowing me I'd panic and grab my books or whatever else was between me and the front door. Course that's got to mean that every living body makes it out the door as well. If not, then definitely my dogs first.
30 seconds to tell someone something?
I really do love you even though I've made terrible mistakes and can never go back. So let's talk, I mean really really talk...about everything.
change 3 things in my life? Or keep the same?
That's a good question because I have no clue. If I didn't do everything I've done, I wouldn't be who I am. As often as I've failed, it's been a huge learning experience as well. BUT if I did change 3 things these would be them:
1) Don't be afraid of what people think of you; you don't matter to them as much as you think(I'm talking acquaintances and complete strangers, not friends/family). And if you let it get to you, it'll affect your whole being for the rest of your life.
2) Say yes to trying new things instead of coming up with ridiculous excuses because you're afraid of failure or looking stupid.
3) Live each day in a way you can look back and be proud/happy with the way you lived it.
I didn't answer this before because no one thing was hitting me just right. My mind was a jumble every time I tried. 3 -
So true! Thank you!@MelG7777 Happy Birthday to your son! It's amazing how fast they grow.
The blink of an eye is never as real as when we watch our children.
Oh that’s great he enjoyed it too! Thank you!slimgirljo15 wrote: »
