What's in Your Wallet?
These are "getting to know you" types of questions (with a nod to E).
What do you ALWAYS carry with you, in a pocket or purse or whatever? Why?
Three things:
(1) My military ID card. I'm proud of it. I worked hard for it. It's important to have for insurance reasons. It can sometimes get you out of a ticket. It can sometimes make life easier, like when I was randomly screened at the airport, and my bag came up positive for chemicals that can be used for making explosives (the back/trunk area of my car is not the cleanest, as that's where I throw a lot dog, cat, horse, gardening, etc., stuff, and the carry-on bag probably picked up something).
(2)My Buck Ranger pocket knife. Been carrying it since I was in college. Just darn useful, and I like the weight of it. Has picked up sentimental value, because I've had it so long & because of why I first started carrying it. Since 9-11 have mailed it to myself from the airport a couple times when I've forgotten to check it/leave it at home. Have also left it at security checkpoints in government office buildings, along with my driver's license, so the guards knew I would come back for it.
(3) A unit coin. This is a military thing, started out in Special Operations. You're always supposed to have your coin on you -- if you're out with your buddies, and someone does a coin check (pulls out coin, challenges everyone to show theirs), and you don't have your coin, then you have to buy the next round of drinks. Although, if you're the one who does the coin check, and everyone else does have their coins, then you have to buy the round. I also like fiddling with it, though I have to be careful, as I've lost a couple that way.
If someone emptied out your pockets or purse, what would they find that says something about you?
(1) Doggie bags. I always have doggie bags with me, often even when I don't have the dogs with me, especially in cool/cold weather, as I'll forget to take them out of my coat pocket.
(2) ATM receipts. I tend to stuff my ATM receipts in a pocket, along with the cash, and hang on to them until I post them in my check register....which might not be for several weeks.
