Should I presume you have only plastic furniture in your home? No nice pieces? A chair is merely an item with a function right?

2 things here.

1 My family isn't very warm and fuzzy so I may have become a product of that.

2 At one point I stood, across the street in the open garage of my neighbors house watching the fire department put out my house. I looked left and right, saw my wife and kids and had a "moment of clarity". Everything else is just stuff. When I added up a list of things that would have truly hurt to loose, it came down to one arm load. Admittedly, one of those things was Dad's Win 94 (I didn't loose it BTW). Other then that one generation "legacy" I have little that can't be replaced. (see point #1)
