Cleaning out my wallet last night, I found a slip of paper with the lyrics of the debut version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah." It's still there. What one unexpected thing do you keep keep in your wallet/purse/whatever your bag that's about you, not just your identity? Essentials, ID, bank, insurance cards, and condoms, don't count. Something that would seem totally arbitrary to the people who know you. (condoms still don't count).

My deseased brother gave me a ‘holy card’ with a medal blessed by pope francis! 1. I really like the Bernie-crat pope, and 2 it always warms my heart to remember my brother jack-especially since he was So conservative it was a real stretch for him to go see the ‘commie-pope’!!!

Peach green tea tea bag is my only odd occupant. I carry the smallest wrist purse possible.I detest digging for things in a purse.

I have a small stone with the word "gratitude" carved into it.

found an old wallet that I replaced because it was falling apart and inside the torn lining was a phone number from a stripper that wanted me to call her that I thought I'd lost that night-beside her name was the notation "silver dollar nipples". It's 25 years old. Should I call the number? Been thinking about it for 6 months.

I have a pocket knife, a flint and steel, and a compass. I have had them for years. I always keep a small notebook and a couple of pens. I have my house key on my ancient crescent moon keyring, with a small self defense thingy on it, and my car key on a keyring with a horsehead snapped carabiner. Otherwise, just the usual stiff.

Ever since high school I have always carried at least one pen on me at all times. I thought it would be essential since I'm never without one, but apparently it isn't since I'm always asked if I have one.

The last known address of my childhood penpal. Cant seem to throw it away.

Band aids.
A guitar pick.

A tattered paper list of actual phone numbers of the people I can most count on. Sad thing is, most all of them are now 3 thousand miles away … but I can’t bring myself to toss that paper..

What I’m more concerned with is a little metal ‘cross’ I placed in the ashtray (never used for ashes) of my vehicle… A kind old man hunted for a mower part amid his career stash until he found what I needed.. I’d been patient, and appreciative, so he handed me that cross. I’ll need to remove it in case my daughters end up with it from the remains of my head-on ..or something. But as anti religious as I am, it meant so much to him, I kept it..

I've owned three of these over the past two decades. Lost one and gave the other away. Not many know. It's always in my purse.

The only unessentials I keep in my wallet are my membership card to Sigma Pi Sigma (physics honors society). It definitely means something to me, but I don't think anyone who knows me would be surprised by it.

A particular business card
