Oh is that not the truth! ...Luckily Russell there iss now The Cloud! You can access that anywhere, what a wonderful world we live in how did they ever survive(Gosh I should have said I! Forgot how dreadfully mature I am!!!!) without a computer?

You make me nervous with this one Mr. Russell, but it is a nice introspective write and so true for many of us! :)

You chose the one I would take too, Russell (if I had not already printed out the pages) however, much easier to carry a computer than THREE big scrapbooks of poems!! I'm with you on THIS one.

I know the feeling Russell! I hope I don't ever have to decide between my hubbie and the laptop. Not sure how that one would turn out :)

Russell, at least it is small and light enough to carry out of a burning building. This is a good example of a kimo.

Russell, wow~ just your laptop, that's xool~ I think, I have to many to choose from~ i don't wish to lose all my work either. But, honestly I hate the thought of my house on fire. This contest makes me sad with reality. My parents entire house burned down~ on Friday the 13th entering valentines day. My niece died in the fire~ sorry to share that with U but, that is what i would have saved HER.. but, i was not there..good luck in the contest.. now let me go find a happy poem..always,..p.d.
