$43.00 in pennies? @_@ Wow, that almost makes me wish we had a purse. We've carried just a wallet since high school-- that was actually an idea started by the girls then, since they didn't usually wear makeup and didn't like to carry around too much stuff at once (we tend to lose/drop things)-- although we do find interesting old receipts in it for stuff we forgot that we bought. Saving pennies can be useful long-term. We once helped someone sort out a giant basket full of pennies and put them into paper wrappers, and then lug all of it into the bank the next day to deposit. I think we had close to $60 in change counting the nickels and dimes we'd also wrapped. The bank lady was doing her best to be very patient with us.
Weird scary stuff turns up in our backpack. We once found an apparently fossilised candy bar in the bottom of it, as well as half of a donut or cookie or something that someone had left in there after eating part of it, which disintegrated and left a big mess of crumbs. There was also some strange blackish sticky glop once.
