FDR / Fala Probably one of the most famous Presidential mascots was Fala; a Scottish Terrier owned by President Roosevelt. Fala was taken many places by the Roosevelts, visits to PM Churchill, even out selling War Bonds. A Scottish Terrier craze swept the nation. The dogs were painted and attached to everything including Salt Shakers, Wastebaskets, and dishes. My grandmother had a pair of these salt shakers on her cookstove. It was the patriotic thing to do during the war years besides buying war bonds. Sometime around 1945 -1950 the wood/coal furnace in the basement caught the roof of the house on fire. A neighbor seen it and banged on the door. They called the fire department. All my grandmother walked out of the house with was the salt and pepper shakers tucked in her apron pocket. The men hauled out the furniture while the fire department saved the house. When Grandma passed I took the shakers knowing the historical importance of the pieces. They have been on my stove ever since getting used every day. *** My Query is; *** IF Your House, Apartment, or Dwelling were to catch on fire and you had ONE ITEM to Save, What would it be ??? *** Ambulatory Family members aside *** |

I've set here mulling it over in my mind I/we have so many precious items that can't be replaced by insurance. I'd make certain the MUTTs & Pumpkin were out then go for my Mercedes even if I had to crash it through the garage doors.

My wife first, although she wouldn't like being considered an ITEM ... So, that being the case, it'd be my cellphone along with the charging cable and plug.

BOB I am sorry that "F"ing BLOGHOG viewed your comment. I have since banned him and I can catch up on his fake profiles whenever he views my blogs in the future. I am certain other members are as sick of his numbskull political rants as I am. Again my most sincere apologies. Bret In a perfect world, he'd hookup with the evangelical bedpan changer from North Dakota, and the two of them would disappear from blogdom.

Only one item eh? Hmm. I think I would grab my wallet and put on some warm clothing if I had time.

It is +33F here today, windy from the SW, cloudy, drifting snow. I had to go to the city this morning and the snow drifting across the highway created slippery slush.

No need to apologize...you aren't responsible for his idiocy; his brain is damaged beyond repair. In a perfect world, he'd hookup with the evangelical bedpan changer from North Dakota, and the two of them would disappear from blogdom.
