Your home's burning-what do u grab first?
By missmoneypenny •
A while back a friend was visiting Doha & our fire alarm in the appartments went off. It was 5am. I stumbled over to the window and looked outside...I saw fog everywhere and thought the appartments were burning down.
We ran down 6 flights of stairs only to discover someone had accidently set the alarm off.
It was interesting though, because i got to experience what I would do in the case of a fire...and what I would take with me.
:) I grabbed my passport, macbook & friend, then bolted.
What would you take, assuming you are the only person home?
in times like this...grab yourself & the restof ur loved ones...that's all that matter.
my two kids... thats it... oh my husband of course he can do the rest heheheh
my life revolves around them... best gift ive ever had...
My house in fire...and my wife still sleeping?
Thank You Lord!
:)

I see you got your priorities right, Pport, macbook and lastly the friend...hee..hee..
Anyway, I wouldn't grab anything, just make sure that the family is safe. remember, material things are replaceable.
it happened to me in another way, it was an earthquake in egypt, we were visiting one of our friends lives at the 11th floor, then it started,
so we took his mom and some things fast and headed to the stairs, while he told us that he will be down in a min, anyway, we almost reached the ground floor when his mom told me to check on him, believe it or not, when i get back to him, he was making tea, listening to music (slayer), prepareing a big bag, i couldn't stop laughing afterwords.
it was very scary swissy! They were hiding under my huge bed so I had to stand it up against the way, I couldnt leave them... it didnt even occur to me to grab anything else!

same sort of situation happened to me. I lived in a high rise tower on the top floor and the fire alarm went off. I thought at first it was just a false alarm as that has happened before, but when I heard the fire engines coming I panicked.
I grabbed my three cats,(they were scared and hiding under the bed which I threw over) put them in the carriers, took my purse and ran down way too many flights of stairs.
Luckily it was a small kitchen fire (on my floor!!) and everyone was ok.
So, as long as I had my cats, the rest are just belongings.

Anything that i can grab & within my reach..
Even if LOVE is full of thorns, embrace it. For in between those thorns there is a ROSE that's worth all the PAIN.
My kids and hubby, if there's still enough time i would grab my mobile, laptop and all the important docs.
