This reminds me of my dad's and Father-in-law's wallets.

[LuckyCharms]

Those wallets must have weighed about 5 pounds. Stuffed with all kinds of shit. 20 rubber bands to hold it closed. My dad even rigged up some kind of clamp for his. Looked like he had some kind of huge tumor on his ass when he stuck it in his back pocket.

I don't carry a wallet. I have one of those stretchy stick on wallets that you put on the back of your phone. It holds about 9 plastic cards (credits cards, license, medical insurance card), a folded up copy of my Covid vax card, a medication list, and a few bills folded twice. So I just grab my phone and go...has everything I need.

I don't know how they used to walk around with something like this. Look at this damn thing:

1. And yet they would mock women for having a purse.

Any purse looks better than that

[LuckyCharms]

2. I actually have a man's purse...

I use it maybe 5 to 6 times a year when I have to carry a bunch of crap.

I think they're pretty practical.

3. Smart man.

( I have no clue who is what gender on DU)

[LuckyCharms]

4. I don't know genders either, except in a few cases, or when it seems

obvious by the screen name.

5. LOL! I do remember that

My Dad's jean pocket would wear out from his wallet busting through them.

6. I used to carry a thick tri-fold wallet. Not as thick as that,

but if I drove any distance, my butt would go numb. I switched to a passport wallet, and that was better, but in the last year or so, I’ve gone minimalist. It’s aluminum, with space for several cards inside, and a trigger to pop them up. The aluminum body fits into a thin leather sleeve with pockets where I carry my license and insurance cards. It fits into a shirt pocket.

7. Here's a pic of what I carry around. Sorry for the shitty pic

and the long nails (hard to get a good angle on the pic, and I keep my nails long currently to dig into chair spindle grooves for this thing I'm refinishing).

9. Oh god, how gross! No, just kidding!! You are absolutely fine and you did wonderful w/ your pic!!

And you're right, sometimes having longer fingernails (and yours aren't bad) is good for doing some things. The working on the grooves as you said is one thing, and there were some things that I do (of course I can't recall them right now) that I had wished that I waited before trimming my nails. And you can't really pick up very much if your fingernails are trimmed short too (wrapping coins is one thing I can think of, but there were some other things that was wanting to do and of course I trimmed my nails first...NOOOOO).

8. Reminds me of

George Costanza's wallet on Seinfeld.

11. I thought of George Costanza when I saw the wallet

lol

12. ...

[Chainfire]

10. I have always carried a billfold, but never one that thick.

Mine is laying on my desk in front of me I just measured it at 1 1/8" thick. Every few years my wife will think that it is getting to ratty and bring me one when she goes to the Coach outlet store.

13. So, we have determined your last name is Castanza...

[Conjuay]

14. But

if you need a step stool…

15. Why the latex glove ? Was this removed surgically ? nt
