Friday Fun…Name Your Top 5

Probably a computer, a phone. After that the material things become slim Pickens, because as long as I have my health and my well-being, and my ability to make money, I’ll be alright

.

No way, I'm ready... I'd really need to think about four of these items... since my #1 would be to grab my Mr Marlow and Bingo.

Good morning Kathy. My medicine, my laptop, money, ... It will come to me later. Likely I should make a list. Enjoy oyru day.

Too much practice!

1. My zip lock bag of insurance and important papers.

2 lot of cash

3. Wedding album of pictures ( or leave it up on a protected  high shelf).

4. 3 days of clothes minimum, meds, etc.

5. My video of the entire house and it's contents.

Kathy, luckily, no worries about hurricanes, but have had a few thunderstorms with hail and possible tornadoes.

Although this would be a serious situation Kathy, right now I'm hungry so for sure lots of snacks would be on my list!

Sadly, most of us would not be able to grab all of the documents we should take in an emergency.

It is a good idea to photograph our furnishings and important personal property. 

I have thought about making that list from time to time, but never actually made it.  Partly because I have never had the need to grab a few things and go but I wonder what would happen to my life if my home went up in flames, haha.

Wallet, golf clubs, photos, anything the wife wants me to take, and cash. Great information. Thanks for sharing, enjoy your weekend. Bill

Salvatore Arizona Elite Properties.

Good morning Kathy,

It would definitely be wise to make a plan that is written down because you won't be thinking straight. I like faye schubert mentioning insurance papers, important papers and cash!

Good Morning Kathy Streib 

It depends on the severity of the reason to move on. 

1. A Pocket Bible

2. Phone (with solar cell battery to recharge it)

3. Medicine

4. Important papers (ID, passport, license, DD 214, VA ID)

5. My bugout bag

Boy Kathy if I had to get fire items to take with me would be, 1.  Check Book, 2. Medicine, 3. metal box that has all are value papers in. 4.  Cellar phone charge 5.  and my WIFE

My laptop, phone, charging cables, clothes, and credit cards.

Kathy I would have a very hard time in listing my top 5.  I think I need to add a "0" to that.

Hi Kathy,

This is a great exercise.  I lived through Hurricane Carla.  The water came up to our doorstep.  We were without power for a week.  This is not a fun season.

Our issue where I live now in Sedona could be a fire, and it could be where you had to leave fast.

We are the only Firewise community in Sedona and the Verde Valley, and we just had a rescue team give us an hour talk on what we should do.  To be ready to evacuate. 

We don't get tornadoes, but if I lived in an area with tornadoes, I would have a go-bag packed with everything.  I keep a portable 12-volt battery in my car for emergencies already. So one less thing to think about.

I think it is important to store important things in a place where they can be easily retrieved, and quickly gathered.  In my case, that's important family records, photos, medications, etc.  Oh, and credit cards - If you lose everything, you're gonna need to go to Walmart!🙃

CONGRATULATIONS Kathy, on having this blog FEATURED in the Old Farts Club group!  

Kathy Streib  no brainer for me : 1. Two cats & a dog 2. Diane's & my Laptop, 3. Diane's & my cell phone, 4. our secret stash of emergency cash... 5. the emergency food and drugs for the animals and Diane's drugs for her well being.... and a bonus our AMEX:)Endre

I need to keep more cash in the house.  you never know when the atms and internet will go down and then no credit cards.  I needed gas the other day and their service was down - cash only
