Momma Always said...

Cleaned out the coin portion of the wallet and found .86 cents to go to the challenge.

I always leave at least a dollar worth of quarters in there during these cleanouts. I'm not sure what for anymore what with cellphones and such, but old habits die hard.

Momma always said a lady needed to have money for a phone call in her wallet! At least I could still buy a hometown newspaper if I needed it.

Let's just face it, shall we? I'm old school.

    I always leave at least a dollar in change in my wallet too. Not for phones but for vending machines and groceries.

    I needed quarters yesterday to use the compressor at the gas station to fill my tires. $1.00 and it did not even have a built in pressure gauge. I need to locate a place nearby with free air.

    I always leave enough changes or cash for unexpected Tolls. Sometimes for gas incase I lost my purse or wallet, I could put in enough gas to take me back home.

    chapel bells are callin for everyone but-a me
    but I don't worry cause
    Mama said there'll be days like this,
    There'll be days like this Mama said
    (Mama said, mama said)
    Mama said there'll be days like this,
    There'll be days like this my Mama said
    And then she said someone will look at me
    like I'm looking at you one day,
    then I might find
    I don't want it any old way,
    so I don't worry cause
    Mama said there'll be days like this,
    There'll be days like this Mama said
    (Mama said, mama said)
    Mama said there'll be days like this,
    There'll be days like this my Mama said
    Mama said, mama said

    Mama said mama said
    Hey! Don't you worry now.
    Mama said mama said,

    Right Baselle, thus the somewhat antiquitated practice. Where would anyone find one?

    I appreciate the other folks chiming in for some of their uses for change. The tire one especially, Joan! ...because that could definitely still be an issue.
