If your house was on fire....

[golddustwoman77]

It would have to be my promo flat signed by all the Rumours line up members, and my BN album and Go Insane album signed by Lindsey. They are stored together for a fast getaway.

die in the fire trying to decide what the hell to actually save:

"Hmmmm...Do I save my Mac collection or my Beatles' collection? Do I save my prized self-contained burners or my cassette collection? Do I save my Stevie Nicks autograph or my..."

Nuff' said

I'd grab my cats and the teddy bear I've had since I was a baby first, and then I'd try and save my prized tour program collection. I have every Fleetwood Mac program from Rumours 'til now, as well as tons of Blondie, Tom Petty and U2 programs. Then I'd try and get my 45 collection, and then my magazines. My CDs (All 300 or so of them) are all in a wallet, so I'd probably be able to grab those, too. I'm lucky that I keep all of this stuff together. I can't choose just one thing .

Oh man! Let's just hope that doesn't happen. Because I have no idea what I'd take... Maybe my records that are all toghether in one bag, or my cds that are on a box (well most of them anyway)... or my magazines.

I totally agree--I'd get the cats out first, then my tickets to Camden and Atlantic city, the TISL wool jacket I got on ebay, and the teddy bear with the Stevie Nicks Enchanted t-shirt. The other things I have (t-shirts, posters, etc.) are probably replaceable. There was a fire in my complex a few weeks ago and 2 buildings burned down, so I have thought about this before.

As perhaps the only Ledgie whose house did catch fire (we live in a thatched cottage and the roof caught fire) I'll tell you what we grabbed. NOTHING. Big fat zero. We got the hell out of there as quickly as we could. The firemen brought out family pictures and paintings, but that's all they had time for as they had to concentrate on the fire. The only thing I worried about was the cat, but he turned up safe and well after it was all over. Eight hours, sixty firemen, nine fire engines, four support vehicles (including catering and lighting - it was like a FM tour), the police, the paramedics, victim support and the Red Cross (I kid you not. None of the last three needed, thank goodness) the fire was out. We lost a third of our roof and the sitting room carpet. The firemen moved the rest of our furniture away from the fire and the water. It took us over six months to get straight, but we were just glad we still had a home. The firemen told us it was the first time they'd saved the first floor (second floor to Americans) following a thatch fire!

However, if I'd really had to think about which FM stuff I'd have saved it would have to be my gatefold Buckingham Nicks LP and, given it might be worth $85 my Rumours N Fax book!
