Ouch. :lol:

Ummmmy.... yummmmy. :drool:

But an expensive date.  Supposed to go down to US$85M a pop after a while.

Ticks me off that my Carry Permit is vetted about 10X my driver's license, yet I can't use it for ID.  On the other hand, my social security number, which is or was not supposed to be used for ID, is required by every piddlyfarty jackass in the country.

Did I say I was ticked off?

Preach it brother Terry, preach it.  That really annoys me as well.

If my driver's license isn't RealID-compliant, I suppose I need to start carrying my passport card on a regular basis. Or, at least, any time I travel out of state.

I need more pockets and another wallet. With things like a couple of credit cards, an ATM card, driver's license, carry permits from multiple states, AAA card, my state-issued ID as a licensed building inspector, VA healthcare system card, Medicare card, private lealth insurance card, Sam's Club, BJ's, and a few more I can't think of at the moment, I'm already carrying three wallets and they're all too stuffed. This is getting ridiculous.

Start using a "murse". They are in style along with the "man bun".

Go with a fanny pack. Reject the idea of "fashion".
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

No wonder you need a bigger wallet if you are carrying around one or two of those!!! ;)

I carry 30 different cards and my wallet is on 1/2" thick.

Unless your cards are on your keychain or in your purse, that's impossible. I just checked- 4 credit/id cards are 1/8th of an inch thick. thirty cards would be ~1 inch, unless you have a large wallet that puts them side by side.

The height of my wallet is 4.5".  The folded width of my wallet is 3.5".  The folded thickness of my wallet 0.5".  Just measured with my handy dandy Stanley FatMax 25' tape measure.

To my dismay and everlasting shame, I don't think I'll live long enough to grow enough hair to sport a "m'un." (Or a pony tail, or a Mohawk. If I were to try for a "high and tight," it would come out sort of like a "mid-level and sporadic.")

With the rise of "Loyality Cards" and the like, I've taken to carrying only my DL, LTC/CCW, Insurance cards, one credit, and one debit card.  (8 total) in plastic pouch I got from Gander Mountain that was designed to hold a hunting license or two,  (Two clear plastic sleeves big enough to hold a drivers license or credit card, that then folds in half.) 
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

just Warren

Do you carry the FatMax in your wallet there, George?
