Ever Lost Something Extremely Valuable

[nicky]

How can you say a mobile phone is not valuable? In a $$ sense, it could be worth a bit and you lose it.... therefore, losing something valuable that is worth an amount of money.

mobile phones are valuable one week and not the next - it's part of our chewing gum culture; they're worth nothing.

 

[Kapow!!!]

Yeah sorry mate, unlike you I'd like to be able to say that I completed school.

Fair enough. Not going to continue debating this (though clearly you're wrong ), especially after some of the sad stories this thread has turned to. Mainly out of respect for their loved ones and their hardships.

I won't keep going on about my phones except to say I don't think this thread was started for the purpose of expressing such stories but more or less valuable commodities most people must have on them at all times. However the wording extremely valuable has that meaning to it so I won't burden anymore.

Check the thread title again mate.

You must see what i mean though. Obviously losing a phone compared to a loved one cannot be compared, but in a sense of value through $$, they can be worth a bit. If anyone bought a phone worth say $350, and lost it within a month, they would be cut. I happened to lose mine about 4 weeks after i got it. It was still worth a bit $$ wise.

Dont let me be a killjoy. I understand some people consider a mobile to be valuable, perhaps even extremley valuable... I just dont agree personally.

Im suprised no-ones mentioned losing a parent yet.

Extremley valuable. That to me kinda of implies something more than an easily replaceable object of convenience.

Even if I were to think you were a killjoy I'd be lablelled crude and insensitive. Extremely Valuable agreed, has that wording to it and if valuable everyday commodities were what the thread was intended for probably should've dropped the "extremely"

Thread should have been made clearer then to begin with, especially after the fist half a dozen posts were about phones etc.

yep fair enough. I guess what I should realise (and now do) is that there are probably some people here, through youth or just circumstance, who probably haven't lost anything before that I'd consider valuable... And luck to them.

But to someone who hasn't lost much, then I can see how a phone may be a valuable loss.

I just read it and took it in the other context.


Im sure there are people on this site who've lost partners, children, mothers and fathers and entire livliehoods...

How about my Girlfriend? Died in a car crash two years ago today. Im 17 and considered a youth.

I took it in the context of $$, so there ya go lol

now you're just confusing me

You nominated your phone before a girlfriend who died in a car crash??? I presume she was only around 15???

THAT, is losing something valuable.

When i first read the thread, i assumed it meant $$ value, and like i tried to state before, my phone was the most valuable thing i have lost money wise.

If we are going to go deeper and say stuff that we have lost that have an extreme personal value, then Jade is it by far.

I'd rather lose a phone a week than for anybody to ever have to lose anyone that tey love whether it be friends, family or lovers.

Admittedly i wasn't thinking of people when i first read the thread however i was a little with all the mobile phone stories because i don't see any value in them, I lose a phone every 6 months

yeah Binxy... the electricals were getting really Dicey and there's some fat prick buried in the back garden who's starting to stink up the joint. His name was... ahh hell I cant remember his name anymore but he had man-boobs.

You may even be familiar with the region, here's some happy snaps I took last time I was crusin on my Star-Horse.

How's the serenity?

Yeah that's it. I'm sorry to hear about all the losses brought up after my posts. I've yet to know someone that has lost their life that I was close to at the time, mainly because I guess I was too young.. So that's why I didn't think of that, and since the first post said "have u ever lost something that was very valuable to you such as wallet or phone or something huge".

Lost my mate to a car accident and just last year I lost my Aunty to a mixture of cancer and a heart attack. Thats something I still cant deal with.

A bit of advice for anyone living overseas. If someone you love dies, go home for at least a fortnight. The 3 days I spent in Melb. where nowhere enough and in fact just posting this has brought me close to tears again.

you have just voiced my BIGGEST fear.

One of my best friends travelled europe for a few years, anyway her father passed away while she was on the plane on the way home. Her brothers and sisters met her at the airport and told her. I met her after her dad died but i've seen her break down when she talks about it. I get knots in my stomach just thinking about it. I would die if that happened to me.

Anyway i'm sorry to hear that, it's absolutely awful.

Im so sorry to hear that, Borgsta.

My cousin was OS, when his father passed away (suddenly of course). He basically was told to come straight back home, but as far as i know, they didnt tell him why. I cant even begin to imagine how that would have been for him.
