What do you EDC?

[Al-Dog]

My basic pocket Every Day Carry (in addition to keys, wallet and money clip) is the trekker model space pen, an ARC flashlight and a 4 gig Cruzer thumb drive (all on the carabineer that came with the space pen), and a victorinox Swiss army knife (soldier version).

What do you have in your pockets (or purse)?

[Kaeos]

Good topic!

Well, wallet. Keys, sure. 2 phones, blackberry for email and regular for calls, portfolio bag with 10 lbs of work stuff, forms, manuals, folders, etc. Shades for driving.

[rappites]

Wallet, credit cards, medical cards, car insurance cards, tylenol, stamps, shades, chapstick, keys, cell phone.


When it is that time of the month you will find other stuff in there.

[Outsydr]

Condoms.

[kah]

You should just get fixed.

In my car I keep a baseball bat, jacket, and running shoes. No, I haven't played sports in a long time. In my purse (which I hate) I keep an extra lip gloss (addiction), a knife, cigarettes, 2 lighters, and my cell. When I carry a diaper bag, it has diapers, wipes, clothes, and plastic utensils.

Funny, it seems like I am carrying around much more than that. :Dunno:

[Woodwraith]

Wallet, Car keys, Ipod, cell phone, pager and badge.

When I'm not working it's the same list minus the badge and pager.

[Nostromo]

5 lb. key ring
wallet
$50 cash
Blackberry
Contact book (back up to handheld)
pens
one sharpened pencil
umbrella
thermos full of black coffee (never leave home without it) :wink:

[TrixieB]

The standard purse stuff with wallet, keys, pad and pen, and at least one bottle of water. In my car, I have a rain coat, umbrella and a towel along with all the usual car stuff (jumper cables, antifreeze, oil, ice scraper).

Okay, that intrigues me. One sharpened pencil? What may I ask do you do sir?

[Nostromo]

I'm a business news editor. I use the pencil to write things down for my storyboard. My colleagues think I'm nuts because I could do it on the computer but my life is so full of keyboards, monitors and digital displays, something as simple as pencil on paper reminds me of a gentler time. I'm not a luddite, but I am from an era when typewriters, paper, pens and pencils were the only tools of the trade.
The practical reason for the pencil is I am left handed. If I use ink, it smears. If I smear a number, my day can go horribly south very fast.

Anyway ... that's me. I'll try to catch some of the show tonight. Knock em dead.

[Bill_the_Pony]

Aside from the usual wallet, cellphone, and keys and eyeglasses when I'm not trying to see (or sunglasses when I don't want to be blinded).....

crumpled cash
change
crumpled receipts
maybe a piece of free candy from a tray at a restaurant or the bank
candy wrapper (I hate to litter)
The chain that the keys go on, that's supposed to clip to my belt loop
perhaps a toothpick in a cellophane wrapper from a restaurant
wrapper from said toothpick
NO used toothpicks (they are organic and will return to the earth from whence it came)
A neat book of matches, if ay are offered at restaurants or whatever
Maybe someone's business card
A crumpled paper tape measure from Ikea
various crumpled pieces of paper with directions scrawled down on getting somewhere, a few lyrics from a song that I heard over a P.A. in a store or someplace, so I can go home and Google it to find out who it was, and if I am REALLY organized that day, a pen to write it down with, or a sharpened pencil from Ikea.

[UNCLEagent]

Wallet, keys, contact case, cell phone.

For thirty years plus, I used to carry a comb daily. Thursday I got a new haircut, which A) requires no comb - just 'product' and B) brings me into the New Millenium. the stylist said "Say goodbye to Mr. Rogers."

[sickness]

LOL. Welcome to the time of bedhead you can go to work with, Unc!

As for me, spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch. Well... almost.

My sunglasses are now required wearing on both directions of my commute when it's not overcast. I make sort of a hook shape during my commute to work that sends me both east and west.

My wallet, cellphone (watch since I use it as a clock also) and keys also go with me.

[rappites]

Condoms.



Really!!??!?! For whom? :confused: :mad:

[Gentlemen Death]

A....WALLET!!!

A rock designed to be a red kiss the my GF gave me over 5 years ago

Always a lighter...You never know what might happen...

Smokes

Eye Drops...For contacts people!

I guess it all really depends on where I am going.....

[Outsydr]

You should just get fixed.


You should talk. :lol:

Them.

[spammityspam]

My purse is small right now. When it's big, it usually carries around just about everything I own.

- George Costanza wallet in blue duct tape (every coupon I've ever been given, receipts from May, etc. etc.)
- ancient cell phone
- tiny composition book
- red pen
- 2 paper clips
- handful of cough drops
- giant can of Aleve
- package of lighter flints
- old Zippo lighter with "Fraternally, Ben Johnston" on the back. (I don't smoke, I just live in fear of being stuck in a blackout or the woods or something.)
- giant janitor-style keyring.
- iPod.
- iClicker for biology class. It's kind of like a remote control I use to answer questions Dr. Fritz puts up on the board. I wish it hadn't cost $40.
- compact.
- giant hair clip.
- off-brand Swiss Army Knife. I need a new one.
- feminine hygiene products.

I'm really wondering how all that fits in my little clutch, but whatever. When I had a big ol' mom purse I carried around wire snips for nigh on a year, not to mention a can of Spam for a few weeks and multiple screwdrivers. I also usually carry around a day's supply of makeup when I've got room.

I actually haven't used a comb since maybe I was in 7th grade. All my haircuts since then have only required just a little bit of gel and my hands.

[chemikillgod]

Oh boy. I pretty much carry everything.

In my pocket:
wallet
pad and pen
keys on a keychain with knife/screwdriver/penlight/bottle opener combo

[kah]

I'm done, Outy. I don't want to press my luck any more than I already have. If I thought the doctors would tie my tubes, I'd do it in a second. In the meantime, I'm going with 2nd best, if you don't count abstinence. (Because who wants to go that route?)

[spammityspam]

...Lip gloss? Really?

[Queen Mae]

In my purse right now:

4 tubes of lipgloss - various shades & brands (this is not intentional, they reproduce like bunnies, I swear!)
1 make-up bag - eyeshadow, eyelash curler, mineral powder, 2 makeup brushes
3 tampons
Zen Vision W

Keys
secret spy-gear
Agenda
cell phone
a bunch of loose change

[UNCLEagent]

Secret spy-gear?

Mata Carni?

[chemikillgod]

...Lip gloss? Really?

:lol: :eyebrow:

I always say lip gloss when I mean lip balm or chapstick. I don't know why. Its screwy in my head. I guess in my head its all just the same thing when I know it's not.

Suuuuuuuuuure... Riiiiiiight!

[Queen Mae]

Oh come on Leo... you can confess that you've been keeping that lipgloss of mine around since our secret love-affair on the Corona boards.

It's time to let go now - I don't even wear Bonnie Bell anymore.

[Queen Mae]

Secret spy-gear?

Mata Carni?

You have NO idea.

And whatever you do - do not ask Waveline/Minion about my secret spy ways. The.boy.knows.too.much.

[chemikillgod]

Suuuuuuuuuure... Riiiiiiight!

You're right. :ohwell: it's true. It is lip gloss and yes, it's from a love affair from a time long ago, almost in another lifetime. I've never been able to get rid of it. But maybe, Mae is right, it's time to leave it all in the past. :goodbye:

[Bill_the_Pony]

THAT explains why we've not heard from him lately. :(


You.... you...... Femme Fatale! :eek:

Your charms will not have any effect on ME, however! :cool:

[Bill_the_Pony]

I should be carrying a passport and my entire net worth in cash or gold, ready to get out of this country when the shit starts going down.

[TrixieB]

You know... I was just looking for something in my purse and realized that I do carry my passport around with me. I'm not sure why it's in there, but I'm sure that when I finally decide that I've had enough and I miss my baby, Kradey too much, that I will flee at a moment's notice. So, it's probably a good thing that I have it handy.

[kah]

I'm all about the Dr. Pepper Lipsmacker. I have about 6 at all times. I buy them out whenever I find them at a store, because I went through a scare about 3 years ago when I thought they weren't being made anymore.

Kind of like when those bastards at Mars stopped making Mars Bars and replaced them with those disgusting Snickers with Almonds. :mad:

[Nostromo]

I think you can still get the original Mars bar. Mars Dark is pretty popular up here.

I knew there was a reason why I loved you - Mars bars are the best.

Exactly, Nos.

:) Well, there's the Mars bars thing, but there's also the keeping your brother distracted thing. :wink:
