Your Prized Possession
I pray this doesnt happen but supposing you get home one day and your house is caught in a wild fire (no one at home though) but u had the opportunity to take just one thing out (within seconds). What would you go for?

That's what i'm talkin about because if u can retrieve them, you can start life again. get a new job, good pay and then you can recover what u lost in the fire. Grin

I'D grab my purse.

Any and every emergency that I've encountered, I've always grabbed my purse.  Leave the coat, leave the food, leave everything else but my purse. . . . . ok, once I grabbed my shoes as well only because I was wearing heels and I couldn't run fast enough in them.

I would grab my purse because in it contains:

My money
My credit cards
My driver's license
the keys to my house and car
My work building pass
My cell phone
Some candy and gum
Sunglasses
Matches
Pens
Lip gloss
Lotion
Voters Registration Card
Business Cards and business contact cards
And a few pictures

Yes, all of that in my purse!  That's why I'll always think to take it in case of an emergency.  It will have almost everything I'll need for immediate survival.

I think if confronted with a sudden, life threathening emergency, we will not be looking for anything to save, but yourself. So "I" am the only one posession I will retain. I believe once the disaster is over, my secured brain will be able to perform a disaster recovery (or Business continuity planning) for me to get started again.

Layi, I've never left the house without my purse.  Even when I sit to eat I put my foot through the strap so that I won't accidentally forget it.  It's such a habit now that I do it unconsciously.  My mother always taught me that a lady never leaves without her purse.  I guess it stuck with me Tongue

Your credentials and imporatant papers... should be with your lawyer/bank. Don't keep stuffs like that at home. It's bad.

Credit card is no big deal.. u'll get a new one. As long u tell them the former one is burnt.
