hmmmmmm not a single "democratic" or "liberal" item....... The Transformation Has Begun!!! [/b][/quote]Did I mention I'm taking PLaw with me?? :p Does that count?

TIS

What was plaw doing at your house?!!?!


I'm still trying to figure out how you are going to carry all of that stuff when it takes at least 2 people to lift the shrine of Dubya out of your house :p

This is rather simple.

I grab my:
1) key ring
2) wallet
3) strongbox
4) Picture album maybe

That is it.

My key ring has my keys to my car and office so I am on my way, The wallet has my money, credit cards ect and my strong box holds all important papers, collector items and extra cash.

The picture album, maybe just not to lose some older pictures of the past. Most could be collect back from other family members so it would only be a maybe.

Other then that the rest is replaceable and insured! Off to a new set of digs with all new stuff.


Why in the world would you bother with saving a TV or any other thing that could be replaced.


The real truth is that there is nothing worth losing your life over. NOTHING!

I've been thinking about this a lot since the recent mudslides and stuff. Sometimes I think about my closet's fate. I need to get my stuff insured... I have probably hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of clothes, shoes, and bags. I have more than 200 pairs of shoes, and only like 5 or 6 pairs that cost less than $250. :rolleyes: So clothing aside:

-Purse (wallet, keys, cell, sunglasses, lipstick)
-papers
-a coat (good one, TIS!!)
-stuff my grandparents have given me
-my watches
-a bottle of perfume (scent to be determined by my mood at the moment)
-migraine medicine ( can't forget that!)
-an awesome Lalique vase I have from 1923 (I got it at an estate sale in Beverly Hills)
-my jewelry box (It would take longer to take everything out and pick something than it would to just grab the box)
-Last but not least, I'd pick one extra pair of shoes to save... a more obscure brand from Spain, or something like that.

Besides that, DVDs, CDs, books, computer, stereo, TV, etc etc etc are so easily replaceable... I mean sure, it might take a while to accumulate the same collections, and it'd be a little expensive, but not a big deal. Although come to think of it, I've got all my CDs uploaded on my computer-- if I took my computer, it'd save quite a bit.

Right, my house is about to collapse, I'm sat here, in the living room, I see the ceiling crumbling. If I don't get out in 5 minutes I am going to die.

Quickly Adam, what are you going to get?

*BRUCE - my dog, I will risk my life for that fucker.

*My Phone - it's got all my numbers. How am I going to ring people to say I need a place to stay without it?

*My Wine - next to me I have my wine carrier (the type you get from the supermarket). It has 4 bottles and, quite frankly, my house is going down. I think I deserve a drink.

I think I'd just run. I'd grab my dog, and run. I don't really own anything worth risking my life for.

Maybe I'd grab my sketchbook and my camera. Yeah, that's it though. And since I take them with me everywhere, I wouldn't really have to look far for them.

Zia had a good point that all my movies and music can be easily replaced. Come to think of it, all of my things could be replaced just as easily, with the right amount of money. I dont have one sentimental thing in my house.
Nevermind, scratch that. My Godfather 4 script couldnt be replaced, so I'd make sure I had that with me.
***
By an act of God, none of my possessions were scratched when the building collapsed. :p

Did anyone mention their computer/hard drive?

1. computer/harddrive
2. Martin guitar
3. check book
4. passport
5. cash
6. wife (deadish thing)
7. ketchup
8. vodka
9. underwear
10. golf clubs

It's unfair! . Some of you mentioned their dogs. Pets and humans were not allowed, Debra said.


So I'll grab my THREE CATS (and my purse). :p
