Old Crab asks .........about the stuff in your wallet....
Tuesday, July 13, 2004 by Old_Crab | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
.....opened the old wallet to pay for some outrageously over priced cholestarol medicine at the local Pharmacey today. I handed the clerk my VISA card. Minnie (the clerk) came back and said "Sir, your VISA expired in 1998". Oh, how foolish of me! Here take this MasterCard. Before making myself out to be an ignorant clod again I checked the date -03/02. Expired. Finally I handed her my last known good VISA card. Thankfully it wasn't expired. Good till 2007. I started to poke around in that old fat wallet of mine which by the by makes my left buttock look like a boulder next to a pebble. Lord have mercy on those of us who don't ever clean out our wallets! I had 3 expired credit cards. A Texas Renassiance return ticket (for 2001). 3 Season tickets to 6 Flags Over Texas including the Waterpark (expired 2002). 4 ticket stubs to Halloween Haunted Houses in Houston for the years of 1999, (2) in 2001, and one for 2003. Many pictures of many people. Especially adorable one of my daughter at age 3. She's now 28. I'll ask for an updated one soon. However I do have the grandkids. As infants of course. They are 7 and 9 now. I'll get updates to those too. Expired Houston library card. Expired Brookshire library card, along with a new one. Petco and Pestmart cards which I never use. (I'm sure I'd save tons of money if I only used them). Other stuff like coupons for this, that, and the other thing. Gas saving vouchers for farm vehicles that I don't like using because of all the involved paperwork. I then turned my wallet upside down and it looked like a snow storm of multi-coloured movie ticket stubs from unknow years and movies long forgotten. 2 washers and a lock nut and a large white paper clip also tumbled out. I found a real treasure stuck in the "secret compartment" dealeo. A rather old $2 bill that old Grandpa had given me back when time first began. And the lottery tickets that I've never checked. I went to the lottery stand and had the clerk run them through the lottery checking thingamajig. I had won 3 small pots. 5 dollars each. Then the biggie. 80 bucks. Well, I knew about that one. It was only 2 weeks old. It'll be a start on paying the outrageous price on my Lescol or LaStat or whatever that stuff is.

Old Crab responds to Wizop Snowmans plea for sanity. Nope, no point whatsoever is involved. If there were a point beyond some silly humor then there would be no point at all in posting a silly post. >

lovesblessing thinks it's a good thing that Mr. OC is a Mr., because, if he was a she and carried a purse she would walk with a definite tilt!!!!! 
lovesblessing does not want to go into what she carries in her wallet, let alone her purse!!!!!!

I only carry what is necessary in my purse. More now since I am working. Just little things that I may need at work. Those eye drops come in handy with all the cardboard boxes and their dust.
I tend to check my purse once a week for any unneeded receipts and gum rappers.
Ok, I will admit I tend to be a bit over organized but at least I do not check it every day.
Old Crab, I love your threads! Keep them coming.

Never thought of it that way.
I just had too many occasions where I'd be away from home on a trip and then found I needed to change plans and go somewhere else immediately without having a chance to go home first. Clothes and sundries can always be purchased, but many of the things I carried in my wallet could not be done without or replaced so easily, especially if I had to make an international flight.

ok you made me look!
five doctors office reciepts
one lab work slip that should've been done a month ago
two pics of my kids five years ago
cpr card expired 97
pre hospital trauma and lifesupport certification card expired 98
emergency medical technician certification expired 98
(guess I just don't want to forget I used to be "useful" )
charge plate to Steigers dept store(which folded in the early 90s due to the incarceration of the heir of the steiger fortune for mass murder. it's a novelty I keep cause I can.)
social security card
Card sized laminated copy of my high school diploma(came with real diploma and has actually come in handy in past job interviews.)
folder of bandaids(neat little gizmo)
charge plate shiny and new and will probably stay so. I pay cash or use check card.
Check card
license
library card
thirty business cards and appointment cards jammed into little clear slots
expired coupon for free movie rental at blockbuster
cheque book(rarely used. mainly a conversation piece at this point...yes it has wolves on the cheques)
reciepts for the week(which I just cleaned out and logged into the account.)
decrepit cpr mask(probably wouldn't keep me from any kind of contamination in it's present condition...)
and that's just what's in the wallet. I won't even begin to list what's in the purse. suffice to say, most people cannot pick up my purse without having first gone thru a battery of weight training.
it is useful in defending myself in emergencies, like stampedes at the shopping mall during the christmas season..... and it holds the bedroom door open nicely when home.
