Actually, my fur baby. He is a 14# Pom who can somehow occupy nearly an entire king size bed, leaving me only enough room to lay on my side. But l love him to pieces! !!
@tinamarie1974 Yeah, aside from my wife and I, I think our 84# GSD is the most expensive thing in the house, since everything else is cheap Meh purchases.
Don’t believe the look on his face, he was enjoying the snow!
Meh knows things about us. And Meh keeps asking these prying questions. Meh will know who buys a security system today and who doesn’t. Meh seems to be planning a large-scale heist…
Ugh, my mom’s dog. My life insurance won’t pay for that dog. My car cost less than the dog. It’s embarrassing. My student loans are just above the dog, though. So I’ve got that going for me.
@simplersimon so you either have low student loans with a crappy car and a mid priced dog, or you drive a nice car with doctor level student loans and something like a thorough bread horse that you think is a dog.
@bleedmichigan I’m poor. My car cost me $500. I have pre-med dropout loans, so they’re not exactly small, but I spend most of my money paying them down. Mom is not so poor. She needs a dog for health reasons, both physical and psychological, so it is well-trained, and because she likes rarer breeds, more expensive than most well-trained dogs. It is a beautiful dog, but it still hurts to realize how poor I am, relatively speaking.
@bleedmichigan@simplersimon Ah, I too had pre-med dropout loans. Were you “guided” towards medicine by your parents, even though you knew full well you were not only not interested in medicine, but would make a shitty doctor?
Well this all depends on how you ascribe value. Most would say human life, ie kids, spouse. If you assume that the question looks to go beyond that and help Meh figure out how to be a better retailer or something else, ie what stuff do you have that’s valuable and how can we add to your collection type question then the stuff becomes the answer. In that case I would say my super rare copy of a book by Michael Fry publishes in January 1934 holds that designation.
Okay, so not counting wife and pets, it’s probably my guitar, both fiscally and sentimentally. I had my eye on it when I first started playing, and told myself I’d find a way to pay for it once I’d gotten a little better. I was a bit sad when it disappeared from the store, but realistically I knew it was just a guitar, and I’d have another chance at one like it.
Yeah, turns out my entire family had clubbed together to buy it for me for Christmas. Because they’re awesome.
And a picture of it out in the wild, during my first (and so far only) foray into professional theater. I play Dick Dale style - I take a right-handed guitar, flip it over, and play it left-handed.
@dannybeans Flipping over a right-handed guitar is right smart. When we were kids, I taught a left-handed friend to play guitar. I had him buy a left-handed guitar and he never really forgave me for that.
My wife just started taking guitar lessons and wanted a guitar of her own so I bought her a used one at the local music store today. It’s a ’70s-era “Canora” Japanese guitar. It seems to me to play pretty well, but I’m a bass player so what do I know? Well, I do know it isn’t a Martin. That’s a nice looking guitar you have there.
Like a lot of people, I’d save my dogs before things of greater monetary worth. My laptop with the files I use to document and organize my life. If there were time, a few objects of sentimental value from lost loved ones. But I carry them in my heart always, their things are just objects of comfort and remembrance. I have insurance for the possessions of merely monetary value.
Today is Tempest’s first Adoptiversary, yesterday was Zephyr’s first Adoptiversary.
The $10 gold coin given to my grandmother when she journeyed to America to marry my grandfather. I remember hearing that she was 13 or 14 when she left Yugoslavia.
It has a lot of sentimental value to me but I did discover it is a bit of a rarer coin.
Since anything of value I owned along with everything of sentimental value was stolen when I moved (for the first time ever I had it all in one box), nothing much to worry about other than pets and photos. Well and my computer or the backup drive. Either would do since it is the files that matter.
Me!

@smigit2002 he is so cute!
Me, obviously. If forced to suddenly evacuate, I will grab myself first. In fact, I am sure to have me on my person at all times.
@awk It seems inappropriate to grab yourself during an emergency situation.
@awk @lazyideas On the other hand, if it’s about to hit the fan, who are we to judge?
Meh knows things about us. And Meh keeps asking these prying questions. Meh will know who buys a security system today and who doesn’t. Meh seems to be planning a large-scale heist…
@shahnm Think about it - they already know where we stash all the batteries. Better lock up the fridge starting now.
Personalized insanity.
Yeah come and take it.
Uh huh.
(Battle flag at the Battle of Gonzales)
@f00l That’s a bad tattoo to get on your lower back, BTW. The other inmates were like “Challenge Accepted” and now I poop different.
@f00l free rolling pins?
@thismyusername
You betcha.
@AdmiralDave you would get 2 stars for this if I could!!
Ugh, my mom’s dog. My life insurance won’t pay for that dog. My car cost less than the dog. It’s embarrassing. My student loans are just above the dog, though. So I’ve got that going for me.
@simplersimon
Wow. that’s some kinda dog there.

I would save my basset hound,
My child, then my spouse, then me.

Pets are like family, so I see why they are getting the most love. If family members were on the list, I hope they would be winning.
@hchavers ‘Something alive, like a kid […]’
I… think human family is included there.
@brhfl @hchavers OMG i just want to hug it!!
@brhfl @hchavers Meh cleverly avoided a contest between kids and pets by putting them in the same choice.
@brhfl @hchavers OMG == Oh My Goat.
As a single person quagmired in university life, I think I may be the least valuable item in my apartment at the moment. Save my books and data first!
@awilkey yes I am sure any student working on a dissertation or thesis would agree with you LOL
My vast collection of porn files…
/giphy did I just say that out loud
Some conservative sent a box of fresh tax cuts to the wrong address. I kept them, and they are in my basement, slowly fading with mold.
Is my house in my house? Because that is the most valuable thing I own.
I’m a redneck. My most valuable stuff is out in the yard.
@meh427
Not tied on top of the travel trailer?
@f00l @meh427 The travel trailer is in the yard
I don’t have stuff other than my laptop and clothes.

@dannybeans Don’t tease. Martin? Gibson? Fender? Or one of those newer brands? Let’s see a picture!
@SSteve Martin D-15. Not their flashiest or most expensive model by a long shot, and that’s how I like it. I’ll post a picture when I get home.
(That’s the original D-15, not the newer D-15M.)
@SSteve Here it is.

@dannybeans @SSteve
Those two guitars are real lookers.
Here’s a toast to how they sound! : )
The files, within my expensive computer, which have great sentimental value.
wow… u sold 18 (at this time) of this pile of sh*t. good job. what happened to the knives, roombas, and dysons? the glory days of one a day sales…
Something I’m not revealing over the internet.
@lseeber I have one just like that.
@afullbeard Dontcha just love it!?

Today is Tempest’s first Adoptiversary, yesterday was Zephyr’s first Adoptiversary.
It’s probably the box of cash I have, lined with gold flake to keep the diamonds from falling out.
@afullbeard
Noted.
Oh. Um… By the way, where do you happen to keep that, er, box?
Huh? No. No reason… I’m just making conversation…
@shahnm if manage to find out please let us know so we can come get it from your fridge once you have it.
@shahnm The box is kept in the vintage wine cellar, on top of the Gutenberg Bible, next to the jar of 1943 pennies.
The $10 gold coin given to my grandmother when she journeyed to America to marry my grandfather. I remember hearing that she was 13 or 14 when she left Yugoslavia.
It has a lot of sentimental value to me but I did discover it is a bit of a rarer coin.
My spouse, then me. “If it can be replaced with money, it isn’t really that valuable.”
That would be the “Dark Shadows” music box.

Husband. Then pictures. 50 years of pictures, mostly of the kids. Irreplaceable.
