EPTLets say the place you stayed at, your appartment / house was burning. And you had couple of mins to dive in (before the fire got to heavy) what would you run in and save assuming all living things were outside safe?
Fire! what would you save?

2. School related things (backpack, relevant textbooks, schoolwork). 3. If I could, I'd grab a certain picture frame and an entire cupboard I have in my closet where I keep sentimental stuff. 4. Computer. I really like my computer and originally had it first, but now that I think about it it's not as important to me as the other stuff. It's WORTH more, but not as essential if I won't get the other stuff back ever again. | ||

2. Notebooks (school notes + scribbles from my short stories) + the books I have checked out from the library (two of them are over $500, also necessary for BA thesis) 3. Various other things depending on time (more trivial: keyboard, clothes, the rest of my books). | ||

2. my denon DN-HP700 headphones. i love these. 3. my suit and some good clothes and coats. just some stuff that would be a huge hassle, not to mention expensive, to replace 4. my table tennis gear. pretty expensive, and i play like 3-4 times a week so it'd be difficult to get by without this stuff. can't really think of any other stuff....im assuming i have my phone, keys, wallet, and watch on me already | ||

1. Cell Phone/Keys/Wallet 2. My mom's old 1970's classical acoustic guitar that I have in my room. 3. A bag full of light stuff that I can grab easily from my room, probably including my box of sentimentals I keep on my bookshelf. It would suck to lose my computer but it can be replaced, as can virtually everything else in my room. | ||

All my external HardDrives. I even keep them in a bag together when they are not connected to the computer for adding extra stuff to them / rewatching old tv-series I don´t keep on my computer anymore. Anyway I have about 5TB (2/2/1) backedup on those things and just bought anothe 3TB drive for future purposes and it would be very hard to replace all of it. I also just started with digitalising all my pictures on them. All those pictures from when I was a baby etc. from way before the digital age. That´s also why I keep them where I can easily grab them. Everything else can be replaced with the insurance money. | ||

I would try to fetch some physical objects that have emotional value (my stuffed bunny that I got when I was born  ) and essentials to keep me going, like my wallet (contains ID & bankcards), carkeys and cellphone. Of course I would first ensure that my wife is okay (and in a few months my daugher as well).All digital files that I wouldn't want to lose are backed up locally (computer -> NAS / homeserver) and offsite (cloud storage for small files, offsite harddisk for large files). Other than the inconvenience of having to obtain all relevant files from their backup locations, there would be no problems with losing my local computers. Material damage is covered by insurance and I have sufficient financial security that I can restart elsewhere without having to wait for insurance to pay out. | ||

For kicks, my Game Boy Advance and games. I worked hard to beat Hector's Hard Mode on Fire Emblem; I DO NOT want to lose that save.... ;_; Oh. And my potato chips. Something to eat while watching the flames blaze.  | ||

2. My Pokemon games; I poured thousands of hours into breeding and training competitive teams, and it represents a hefty chunk of my childhood. 3. On October 08 2012 21:21 Sayle wrote: BoxeR autograph. | ||

I actually burned my mattress in my college dorm: incandescent lamp fell over at night as I fell asleep. I think I covered it with a blanket so I could have light for studying while my roommate slept. Anyway, he woke up in the morning, thought he smelled smoke, checked my computer, saw it was ok, then left for class. (He knew where my priorities lay) The mattress kept smoldering for a few hours. By the time I woke up, there was "fog" in my room... Firemen said I was lucky, it could have gone up in flames. Long story short, didn't lose too much to the fire, but I did burn one of my favorite sweatshirts and the room smelled like smoke for a quarter. | ||
