Okay... your house is on fire. All the people and pets are out safe. You can run back in and save five things. A water hose does not count :D

1) The folder of drawings and handmade gifts that my kids have given me

2) small teddy bear I had as an infant.

3) my college ring (I never wear it, so it would have to be saved)

4) G.I. Joe I had as a kid in the early 1970s

5) my grandfather's hat

honorable mentions (with me, there are always honorable mentions) :p

tool collection from back when I worked as a mechanic (probably the only replaceable things I would consider saving)

my Russian watch

The Hawaiian shirt I wore on the first date I had with my wife
 
DS Lite

PSP

xBox 360

Wii

External Hard drive because it has my music/video on it
(I'm only look at material thing here....personal object are to)

Fire changes it...because I'd be looking for things I care about...hmm idk
 
1. My digital camera (and charger).

2. My external hard drive, with all my pictures + music backed up on it (haha, it's not Apple!)

3. My wallet ;)

4. My Nalgene water bottle that has been everywhere with me...and I mean everywhere.

5. Like the OP's #2, an old stuffed animal (a bear) from my childhood.


My iBook would be #1 if the list included Apple products...and I could actually care less about my iPod, since it's easily replaceable...
 
1. My Slr (nikon D80) :D
2. My Watch (cK)
3. Cell Phone (motorola)
4. Daily Planner (cant do anything without it)
5. Random books collection (priceless)
 
In no particular order:
1-Digital camera
2-Printer
3-Laptop from work
4-Financial documents
5-Digital data storage media
 
in no order

1. cellphone
2. my car
3. does stock count?
4. tickets to hockey games (rangers and B's)
5. ?
 
1. My chinchilla
2. My guinea pig

Neither of my pets are more important than the other, so I just put them in the same order I got them. Also, they can't run out on their own, so I am assuming they don't fit in the OPs rules ;)

3. Oliver Otter (this HUGE stuffed otter my fiance bought me)
4. MacBook Air - I am a CS student so this is my life, even if it is an Apple product :p
5. External hard drive with all my photos on it.
 
1) My Land Rover
2) My Blanket (no lie)
3) A picture of my dog and I at the beach
4) My Western Digital My Book HD with all my files backed up
5) My box of elementary school work*

*I remember my 2nd grade teacher telling us how when we were big kids in high school it would be fun to look back on our childhood work. We'll a couple days a go I pulled out this giant box in my basement with my elementary school work. I found my Kindergarten letter to Santa asking for a living pet platypus, a power wheels, a real elf to have as a friend, and some other toys.

Remember when the days were just so much simpler...

1) My Land Rover
Click to expand...

Down the road from where my dad used to live this guy had a hydraulic jack in his garage and when ever he had it all the way up you could see it in the upstairs windows. :) It was a Camel Trophy edition Discovery.

I thought of this when I read your post because I thought it was interesting that you apparently keep your Land Rover in your house :)

VVV AHA! Another one who keeps their car in their house! ;) Darn you people and your fancy shmancy garages.
 
1. My beloved Toyota
2. That crappy LG phone I can't live without...
3. My slow, but useful Compaq laptop
4. Lava lamp?
5. Hairbrush?

I don't know, i'm running out of stuff. The first three are very important, especially the Toyota. Love her to death.
 
1. My blankets from when I was a baby. (I still sleep with them, they're so soft. :eek:)
2. My stuffed bears. I got them later, and no I don't sleep with them, but they sure look nice.
3. My mom's SLR. Yeah it's not mine because I can't afford one but I get nice pictures out of it.
4. My cell phone. I don't actually like it that much but it's really important anyways.
5. Wow I can't think of anything really special.
 
In no particular order..

-my camera
-my bicycle
-my bed (sleeeeeep!)
-a stuffed animal I've had since I was a toddler
-my iPod (I'll often take it and leave my phone at home :p )
 
i.) sunglasses
ii & iii.) dress blue and sword
iv.) phone ibm black model M keyboard

377504747_5484889e56_o.jpg


and my SD card adapter:
387874404_acb531c13e_o.jpg

it's a life saver and recycles old SD cards that were outgrown by the digital camera.
 
two teddy bears that are really important to me (had them both since the moment i was born)
my massive PCWorld, APC, PCAuthourity and MacWorld collection of magazines
my external HDD
I don't know about the rest, but if i could, i'd get my iMac (bit of sentimental value to it, got it from make-a-wish foundation from a brain tumor)

2. Wallet
3. Back-up drive
4. My favorite jacket (it's irreplaceable)
5. My 1970s copy of To Kill a Mockingbird that's tattered and near death.

Hmmm...

1.) My Art Kit/All My Art Supplies

2.) My Drumset/All My Drums

3.) My Acoustic Guitar

4.) My Adobe CS3 Software

5.) My Cell Phone


Is it pathetic that this was hard for me? :confused:
