Your house is on fire....

Tamm04

Besides yourself, family and pets, what 3 things are you grabbing? You've only time for 3 things. I can't wait to hear some of these responses :drinker:

My purse
My cell phone
Photo box and some off the wall

Laptop is getting blue screen so it can burn in hell..I'll grab lunch instead.
Best outfits and shoes (that is not cheap to replace and isn't covered by insurance)

Wallet, to buy clothes and food
Phone, to call family and friends to arrange some accommodation
- Those two items contain all you need to start a new life as you can buy, rent or claim insurance on everything else, but as you asked for 3
A laptop bag or backpack, to carry some things around

My house actually burned to the ground March 21, 2000, due to an electrical fire.
You do not have time for 3 things, you only have time for 1.
What I grabbed was my daughters pink panther stuffed toy as she had slept with that since she was born.
Why because in my mind it felt like an extension of her and I knew if she had to save one thing she wouldn't want to be without that. I was the only person home at the time.

If I had had time for 2 other things I would of grabbed all the photos (including home videos) and all of my daughters diaries ( we would sit every night and she would tell me what to write in her diary from age 2 on up until she was old enough to write it herself. I had tons of little diaries for all those years, her thoughts, feelings) but couldn't not grab them.

Just two things really....

Sorry to hear that!! Awful

1) The baseball my brother got for me at a Pirates game in 1979. Long story short, a player tried to throw it to me, but a stadium vendor leaned in front of me and snagged it (they're not allowed to do that). My brother went after him and got it back. It's my most prized possession.

2) My laptop. Hey...it pays the bills, and apparently, in this scenario, I need a new house.

3) A box of "memories" things: greeting cards from my dad, stuff from my daughter, etc.

littlelaura

Thank you, at the time it was awful but in hindsite, it ended up being a huge blessing, since no one got hurt or worse, all I did was lose material things and some memories, but it forced a change for the better that ended up making my families life so much better in the long run. Plus side, easiest move ever!!!! LOL

pushyourself14

1) My cat
2) My purse
3) Necklace given to me by my Grandpa who passed away last year.

whiteberry17

Lets see

1. My pillow
2. A box of cereal
3. My stuffed octopus that I have had for 10 years

CheekyBrahette

1)My purse (contains my cellphone, wallet, keys)
2)My fireproof safety box (contains S.S.Cards and other important documentation)
3)Case containing all the CD’s that holds my child’s baby pictures.

At one time I made enough money and owned enough things that I never had a want for a single material thing.

People would occasionally say, nice car, or nice truck or nice place. NOT ONE TIME did anyone say "you are very fortunate".

Fast forward a 1/2 dozen years and I'm broke as a joke, holding my 3 year old's hand walking out of a cheap restaurant and a very old gentleman looks strait at my son, gives him a big smile, gives me a big smile points to him and my other two boys and says "you are very fortunate"

If my family was out of the house I LITERALLY could NOT care less about anything else left behind.

pudadough

1. my purse (because I usually have my wallet, keys, phone and ipad in there.)
2. my laptop
3. a box full of old family photos that can't be replaced.

When I was thinking about this, I was kind of shocked at how much of my stuff really could be replaced. I don't have just a bunch of stuff that I'd be devastated about...weird.

The first time I heard this scenario was in a movie. A few weeks later (living alone), faced with a similar scenario and was so flustered that I didn't know what to grab.

Practical answer: pet if I had one, mobile phone, wallet
Impractical: most sentimental posession

ecdce

I have this monitor thing called a cintiq. It weighs, like, 75-80 pounds. I'd grab that. It probably counts as 3 things anyway. It feels silly to take something totally replaceable, but I worked hard to get it. Plus, besides my dog, all my other stuff is replaceable too, but way less expensive.

Aleta2

lol - good thinking!

citygirl04

my purse (my mastercard is in it), computer, and ipad.

kaylaandthestarcatcher

My box of Playbills, my laptop, and um.... I dunno. I'm looking around my room and trying to figure out what else is really important to me. Truthfully, my computer isn't even that important, it would just be inconvenient to lose it. I am pretty emotionally attached to my Playbill collection, though. But as long as my cat is safe...

digitalbill

1: External harddrive (it contains ALL of the photos in the house plus some, ALL financials, documents... you get the picture)
2: Wallet (Credit cards, ect)
3: iPhone (I need to call some people to get my spare car keys now.)

creech6317

Phone,
Photo album
Vase that was my Grandmother's (only thing I got from her when she passed away).

Hexahedra

1. Laptop bag (has my laptop and external HD)
2. Document keeper
3. Wallet & keys (always lumped together)

My iPhone is always by my side or in one of my pockets, so when I run out chances are it's with me.

- computer with the external hard drive attached
- passport
- safe
