I have one of my husband's old lock-out tags on my keychain. It is brass and has his name on it. Probably corny, he even thinks it is...he just asked me not long ago, "You still have that thing?" But it is special to me. 
...you win!....nobody is going top a "Roo nut-sack.....
A tiny tape measure. Just in case the measuring needs done
I always have one in my purse; really handy.
Gorgeous pictures! Where were they taken....
My mini-sized, but genuine, Swiss Army Knife. It's small enough to pass TSA security so am able to keep it in my purse at all times. The scissors part has been the most useful.
Thank you!
First one was taken in FlakeNoir's backyard, on the south island of New Zealand. The second one was taken in my backyard, in Rocky Mountain National Park.

Hey not_nadine !
There's a reason your nick name is Nottie.

Nice thread.
I have my husbands wedding band, a St.Jude medal, a crucifex and a teeny tiny figurine my son made for me long ago. Yay!

Yes! he does. Patron saint of the impossible and lost causes. Of which, I am both.
Have a great weekend, sir!
All of these mementos are lovely, and I adore the stories behind them. I just want to say, the fact that you carry these special things with you, you have more opportunity to lose them. Just prepare and guard your heart in case you do.
When I was a teenager, I had a wallet that was filled with all these little wonderful teenage memories. Booth snapshots capturing moments in time with my friends, coins you could actually stamp with whatever you wanted (my coins had my name and the last name of all these boys I had crushes on, got it on a amusement park boardwalk on a trip with a friend and her family), ticket stubs from concerts, pictures of my one and only niece at the time who lived far away and lots and lots of other things -- simple teenage memories but at the time, they meant a lot to me. My wallet was stolen and needless to say, I lost all of these precious things. I cried and cried, I was so sad.
I have never carried anything that can't be replaced since. So, just saying, guard your heart just in case.

Wise words. My pictures and my mom's card aren't in my wallet. I keep 'em in a little zipper pocket in a different part of my purse. I know, the whole thing could be stolen, but I'm guessing they're more interested in my money. Or, lack thereof. Joke would be on them, though.
I kind of hope somebody WOULD steal my identity. Maybe they could pay off my student loans.
I carry an epipen. We haven't had to use it for my son's peanut allergy, thank the Deity of your choosing!
The reason I consider it extra-cool is this: I read an article about a man whose son had an unexpected anaphylactic reaction to a food, and while they were waiting for 911 and trying to get him to breathe, another patron at the restaurant ran over and injected the child with her own son's epipen. The EMTs and docs said that this action opened his airways, bought him time and saved the boy's life!
I feel like carrying Tiernan's epipen might save *someone's* life someday, even if we never need to use it for him.
Now, if I just had the scrotum of some animal to carry it in....

When you said epipen, that's the first thing I thought of. That you could save somebody else's life, too.
Yes, but they way things are these days you would probably get sued for helping.
You're probably right. Maybe I should ask my insurance agent about "Epipen Hero" coverage?
