When we considered how unprepared we were we immediately created a nice compact..'Take This Box In Case Of Emergency'...It held very closely the things mentioned by Ann above. Some records we simply placed in our safety deposit box at the bank. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111437 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 13:17:16 +0000 SylvesterMiasMomma 111437@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad you are safe, WWM. What a scary ordeal! Good idea Instinct, to do the CD's in a safe deposit box for the papers and photos. Grab some clothes and the cats and run.</p> <p>Berkeley has always been known as Bezerkely since the 70's as that is where all the nut jobs seem to congregate. I have never liked the area and when given an opportunity to go work at UC Berkeley, I took the job but ended up quitting after a week of commuting to the campus. It was the summer where it was 100 degrees outside for three weeks and UC Berkeley only air conditions the lab buildings. I would have been suffering inside an office all day in that kind of heat! No thank you!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111393 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 10:44:38 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 111393@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>u r right. who's thinkin' bout underwear????????????????????????????? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111388 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 10:21:04 +0000 WillowandWindismom 111388@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>But it is pretty lame when you are madly throwing clean underwear in a bag but forget stuff like medicine! And kitty food - ack! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111377 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:51:52 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 111377@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>ROTFLMAO!!!!! -- paulajeanne </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111374 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:43:50 +0000 paulajeanne 111374@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I dunno, I think I would add the clean underwear too! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111373 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 08:38:22 +0000 WillowandWindismom 111373@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Great list, Ann! It would sure make more sense to have those things rather than the clean underwear.</p> <p>And I will start looking into who can scan pictures for me. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111365 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 06:16:37 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 111365@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am impressed that is quite the well put together list, thanks for ideas... </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943/page/2#post-111364 Sun, 10 Feb 2008 06:05:45 +0000 AnnF 111364@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>For what it's worth, my emergency bag contains:</p> <p>Passport<br /> Bank account numbers, checkbook, and cash<br /> Recent phone bill and bank statement: These are better proof of residence than government documents, because you can list any residence on those.<br /> CD with copies of major documents from my computer; photos, including those for insurance purposes; scanned copies of my passport and ID and a recent property tax bill.<br /> Copies of prescriptions and doctor's contact info, photocopy of health insurance card<br /> Homeowner's insurance information<br /> List of all possible personal emergency contacts </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-111288 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 22:36:29 +0000 Instinct 111288@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>KW is right. A professional shop should be able to make you a digital copy of the piece no problem. Some places even have camera scanners that can handle a large wall size painting </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-111284 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 21:42:25 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 111284@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You might be able to get a photo shop take a high quality photo of the larger photos and make you a negative or digital file on a CD, WWM. I've done that with old family photos so I could make multiple copies in any size for other family members. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-111217 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 20:51:40 +0000 WillowandWindismom 111217@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>But what about those that are big, like 8"x12" framed? I got to thinking about it today - they are irreplaceable but you can hardly go throwing huge, framed pictures into the car in an emergency. What to do??? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110977 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 16:30:33 +0000 Instinct 110977@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>You can take them and have it professionally done at some photography studios. They can do an excellent job of not only scanning them in but retouching photos to restore colors or repair defects </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110961 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 15:56:22 +0000 WillowandWindismom 110961@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>An excellent idea, Instinct. I thought of pictures yesterday but didn't even know where to begin. There are way too many to transfer but if I had lost the ones of my family I would have been devastated. I have original pictures of my great grand parents and to lose those would just be awful. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110927 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:24:53 +0000 Instinct 110927@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'll let you decide on that one Paulajeanne :D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110926 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:19:29 +0000 paulajeanne 110926@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Instinct, Berzerkly? Freudian slip or intentional? Hah! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110925 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:17:33 +0000 Instinct 110925@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We have a lot of sun here today and this afternoon I am going for a nice long run :D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110924 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:09:45 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 110924@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Don't go to any trouble, Instinct. Whenever you get to it is fine with me. I hope you are getting some of the sunshine I'm seeing out my window! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110923 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:03:42 +0000 Instinct 110923@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OK, I'll send it probably later today. I have to take the shots of it and everything.</p> <p>Never too late to get into doing art, it is one of those things you can do at any age :D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110922 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 12:00:26 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 110922@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'll keep my eyes open for the e-mail. I never got in touch with whatever artistic talent I may have. Too much of my childhood was spent coloring inside the lines. :-) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110921 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:55:45 +0000 Instinct 110921@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Sure, I've mostly been correcting things on it and getting proportions right,but I can send you what it looks like</p> <p>Jamie's always been a night owl, so it work for her I guess :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110919 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:52:42 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 110919@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I don't think I ever pulled an all-nighter when I was in school. I always rationalized to myself that being well-rested would make me more efficient the next day.</p> <p>How is your Camero model coming? Any new pics you can e-mail? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110917 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:50:37 +0000 Instinct 110917@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>So far so good. Wife is asleep since she was up till 5am doing homework and I've just been sniping at Berkley, CA on my blog and doing animation. :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110914 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:46:59 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 110914@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am easing into the morning with a strong cup of hot coffee and Furl on my lap. :-)</p> <p>How is your morning, Instinct? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110912 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:43:50 +0000 Instinct 110912@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Exactly true :)</p> <p>How's your morning going K?? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110907 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 11:33:04 +0000 Kitten Whisperer 110907@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's a great idea, Instinct. We could also scan important documents and burn them to a CD. </p> <p>Please stay safe, WWM and SOM!! I'm glad you have had a practice evacuation, WWM. Now you have time to pack what you really might need in an extended absence from home. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110900 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 10:42:14 +0000 Instinct 110900@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>WWM, one thing I would suggest (and this is for everyone) is to take all of your photos and convert them to a digital file and burn them all to CDs. Then, put those CD's in a safe deposit box.</p> <p>That way if anything does happen, your photos are safe. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110895 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 10:21:07 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 110895@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>OMG, we are under a fire advisory for tomorrow. Better get the hurricane stuff ready to evacuate ... but the good news is there are no fires at this time.<br /> That is soooooo scary W&#38;WM.... be safe.. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110890 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 09:52:44 +0000 WillowandWindismom 110890@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I think that I'm off to sew a bit because I always find that to be calming (except when I totally mess up!). Hopefully there won't be any more disasters today! Although all of Texas is still under a red flag fire advisory.</p> <p>Please send rain, somebody! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/3943#post-110887 Sat, 09 Feb 2008 09:47:23 +0000 WillowandWindismom 110887@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, Miu! Willow hissed for hours at Windi after we were able to come home. Poor Windi - Willow blames her for everything! When they went to "the spa" Willow was quite convinced that it was entirely Windi's fault. And Windi is just so clueless! </p>
