What's in your wallet? Or for the DU gals, purse?

[Murphys_Unlawful]

[scarlet_owl]

1. Lots of receipts, but no money.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

4. Call me crazy but...

Why do you have receipts if you have no money?

[scarlet_owl]

7. Because I spent it all, hence the reciepts.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

14. Need a loan? You can pay me back next payday.

[scarlet_owl]

16. Just took a $7000 dollar loan out the other day. Sadly, it's all

gone to bills. :cry:

[Murphys_Unlawful]

24. Bills???? Why so many bills?

[scarlet_owl]

Mostly medical bills. And a few small credit card balances.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

34. I hope you are ok!

[greyfox]

2. Right now?

Nada butr dust and air.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

5. Lighten the load...

[greyfox]

[Murphys_Unlawful]

10. Band-aid?

You're prepared!

[MissMillie]

12. Paper cuts are a job hazard for me

gotta have a band-aid

[Murphys_Unlawful]

23. That's plural, you need more than one.

[Left Is Write]

8. This is my 3000th post. Just sayin'. By the way, I do have a wallet.

I carry it in my purse.

My wallet contains receipts, appointment cards, coffee club cards, a checking card, a couple of credit cards, a library card, a grocery discount card, my checkbook, some change, occasionally some cash, my drivers license, my health insurance card, my auto insurance card, and I think that's it.


Edited to add the other purse stuff: makeup bag, a couple more pens, my phone, loose change, lint, and junk.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

11. Where's the kitchen sink?

[Left Is Write]

31. In the kitchen, of course.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

37. Ha, got me on that one.

:toast:

[underpants]

13. Treasury notes and some plastic cards

:bounce:

[Murphys_Unlawful]

17. Why plastic cards? You pickin' locks?

[buddhamama]

15. I have a wallet

that goes with my purse, except i dislike lugging around a purse all the time so I usually just carry the wallet (low-maintenance).

wallet contains credit cards, a few dollars, license, list of phone number& addresses, insurance card, social security card...i think that's it.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

20. Do you have any room for an extra....

phone number and address?

[buddhamama]

28. i do indeed...

if it is your phone number and address.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

33. Seeing how we are in a thread... 867-5309

[RaleighNCDem]

52. Is your name Jenny?

[Murphys_Unlawful]

55. How'd you know?

[RaleighNCDem]

125. Lucky guess.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

126. I bet you can't guess my area code!

[RaleighNCDem]

127. You got me...

:shrug:

[Murphys_Unlawful]

128. HA! Better start going through them one by one.

[welshTerrier2]

131. ss card ...

mrs. wt2 had her handbag stolen last summer and she had a paycheck in it with her SS# on it ...

welcome to the wonderful world of identity theft ...

leave anything with your ss# on it at home ...

[stlchic]

18. Well...

$25, credit card, ATM card, business credit card, calling card, pics of kids, drivers license, insurance card, business cards, security access pass for work, paycheck stub, ibuprofen tablets, throat longenzes, palm pilot, lip gloss, breath mints, pen, hair brush, and band-aids.

My "mommy" purse has a lot more in it (toys, wet wipes, snacks, etc...), but I don't have that at work.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

21. Business credit card, that's dangerous. So where are we going...

shopping?

[stlchic]

29. Well, I'm only allowed to use it when I'm traveling...

...but I'll be in the Philadelphia airport sometime in February.

What would you like from the Duty Free store?

:-)

[Murphys_Unlawful]

36. HaHa, you said DUTY. Um well, how about...

one of those cheesy shot glasses with a pic of the liberty bell.

[Beware the Beast Man]

19. Driver's License, Soc. Card, Tops Bonus Card, Insurance Card,

CVS Card, several ATM and debit card redeipts, AAA Card, etc.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

22. Tops Bonus Card? A collector. Shouldn't it be somewhere...

safe?

[Beware the Beast Man]

25. Not exactly. Tops is a supermarket.

But if you get enough points, you can get a free turkey!

[Murphys_Unlawful]

30. Haaaa! Oops, I was wrong.

[welshTerrier2]

132. don't carry your soc. card ..

it's a real risk for identity theft ...

[RubyDuby in GA]

26. Okay, I emptied my purse onto my desk for this, so here goes:

cell phone and ear thingy to talk into, car keys, hair pick, dayquil (been fightin' off something icky), a Bellsouth refund check, cough drops, bottle of Motrin, Kohls gift card, hair clip, Burt's Bees cherry lip gloss and a mini bottle of Burt's Bees buttermilk lotion, a small bottle of Germ-x hand sanitizer, 1 Oral-B Brush-Ups, 2 bandaids, 3 lipsticks, 1 clinique lip gloss, 5 pens, 1 ponytail holder and my wallet(checkbook, credit cards, drivers license, cash and receipts).

I think that's it. And it's not even that big of a purse.....

[Murphys_Unlawful]

39. Geez, I'm guessing you have back problems.

[RubyDuby in GA]

51. All of it's really light stuff and the purse is small

The wallet has a built in side pocket, so I'm super organized.

And it's pink croco (from the super rare pink croc).
Tres chic..... :)

[Murphys_Unlawful]

56. Where do pink Crocs come from?

[RubyDuby in GA]

63. Well guessing how unnaturally "green" the water is around the

Savannah River plant, I'm going to guess somewhere down there.
The Okefenokee Swamp's not that far away....

[Murphys_Unlawful]

And get this. I think I actually have more room to put stuff in my wallet.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

49. Slow it down Droopy. You don't want to hurt yourself.

[RevolutionaryActs]

32. A bunch of crap! hahaha

Lip glosses, mints, keys and my wallet, which has some cash, bank receipts and movie ticket stubs.
The outside of my purse is cooler I think, I have 4 neat pins on it. :D

One with an American Flag that reads "Peace is Patriotic"
Another one thats red with whiter letters "If you're not OUTRAGED you're not paying attention"
A simple square one thats green and says "No War"
And a little one that says "I blame you"

I wanted to put a little picture of * by it, but my mom said to me "are you sure you want his picture on your purse?"

[Murphys_Unlawful]

41. No gun?

[RevolutionaryActs]

50. HAHAHAHAHA Why would I have a gun?

I'm a peace loving hippie!

[Murphys_Unlawful]

58. I dunno. Slingshot?

[RevolutionaryActs]

60. Oooh a slingshot! I use to have one, my dad made it for... I wonder where

it is now? Hmm......

[Murphys_Unlawful]

61. Check the closet. I think I saw it in there.

[Samurai_Writer]

35. I just bought a new purse, what a timely question!

I had the same tiny purse for 10 years that finally fell apart. So I look for another small purse, couldn't find one, so ended up with a medium sized purse. In it, I have:

Wallet
Keys
Cel Phone
Inhaler
Checkbook and pen
Small hairbrush
Small makeup bag
Hair clip/barrette

In my old purse, I could only fit my wallet, checkbook and pen. I used to carry my keys, cel phone and inhaler in my pockets or hand,and the rest was left in the car.

For years I carried nothing but a wallet, keys and my inhaler, all in my pants pockets.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

42. How small of a make-up bag?

[Samurai_Writer]

79. About the size of a small sandwich baggie

It's clear plastic with a zipper on top, like a pencil case. Only smaller. I'd estimate about 4" long and 2.5" wide.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

80. Good. Glad it isn't garbage bag size!

[Samurai_Writer]

92. Naw, I rarely even wear makeup except for photo shoots

I just put it in there because I had to have something to fill up that huge emptiness in the main compartment of my 'gigantic' new purse (well, gigantic to me, it's actually not that big).

Plus when I DO go out on dates, I like to wear powder and lipstick. So I figured I could keep it in the purse in case of a spur of the moment date. Yeah right, like that would ever happen.

Peace,
Bella

[Murphys_Unlawful]

98. It'll happen when you least expect.

[Strawman]

38. The same rubber that's been in there since I was 16

But just wait, one of these days it's gonna come in handy :+

[Murphys_Unlawful]

45. Mmmm, I'll spring to get you a new one buddy.

[annabanana]

43. ummm...let's see, some gum......

badger lip balm...ahh pack of kleenex (almost empty),...37 cents..grocery list...corkscrew......lint.......old pics of the kids..that's about it right now..

[Murphys_Unlawful]

46. badger lip balm, corkscrew... WTF?

[Freebird12004]

44. money

[Murphys_Unlawful]

48. Ahhh, one of the few.

[Freebird12004]

133. I enjoy it

and share nicely with my close friends

[no name no slogan]

53. Cash Card, Union Card, Bidness Cards, Drivers License

But I keep my dough in my front pocket.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

54. Why is that?

[no name no slogan]

76. Goes back to my days living in the UK

The £ notes there were bigger than my wallet was. So, instead of folding them over, I just began to carry them in a wad in my front pocket. It was just easier, and I never had to worry about getting my pocket picked in a crowd

After I came back here, I kept the habit, and have been doing it for 14 years now. I'm so used to it by now I don't think I could go back to another way.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

81. I know what you mean. Like not wearing a watch after...

wearing one for years.

[huskerlaw]

59. Mine's more of a mini-backpack, so...

seperate? And if so, why?

[maveric]

67. My kid just took my last $3.00 for bus fare, so that leaves me with...

a visa check card, drivers license, grocery store savings card, kaiser card and last night's lottery numbers.
I should check those.

[Murphys_Unlawful]

69. If you win, can you spare a brother a dime?

[crispini]

70. For a girl, I don't carry much.

My wallet is actually a cigarette case. In it, I carry: 1 credit card. ATM card. Driver's License. Frequent diner card from Qdoba and a frequent diner card from the bar where I hang out. And, right now, $3.

The only other things I carry are my keys and cellphone, which I shove in my pockets...

Oh and I just found business cards and a pad of post-it notes.

[Bouncy Ball]

112. Just in case.

[crispini]

88. Hi Bouncy!

[Bouncy Ball]

111. The doggone meetups are on Wednesday nights

and that's the night my class always meets!

:cry:

I emailed the Arlington DFA meetup leader and told him I couldn't make meetups this semester, but I told him to tell me ANYTHING else I could possibly do to help, because I really want to be involved and add to the effort locally!

99. Well then, you have more than a couple.

[HEAVYHEART]

[MediumBrownDog]

129. I'm post business trip....

So.... passport, Amex card, debit card, less than 100 Euros, lipstick, chapstick, drivers license, health insurance card, and a stack of business cards, small folding brush.

I travel light, I never check luggage, and I never carry a purse larger than a TV guide. It must fit inside my briefcase.
