Yesterday, Eldest was in need of her social security card for work. I thought Hubby had it, so I told her to not fret, he would give it to her when he came home. You would think that such an important thing would be uppermost on her mind, but no. She played on her videogame and then showered and went to bed.
And then this morning I find a note asking that he get the card for her. GAH!!!
So this morning I ended up turning out all of my wallets, ashamed to find I own over a dozen, and at least managed to find Son’s and mine. But no luck on Eldest or Little One’s. So I did what anyone would do. I prayed to find them and asked:
If I were a social security card, where would I be??
I closed my eyes, and had a flashback to the tax office, and danged if I didn’t find them right where they were supposed to be all along: IN MY WALLET!!
In my defense, they were well hidden. But at least now everyone has their cards and I am no longer in charge of them. One less thing for me to worry about.
At least until such time as they ask for baptismal certificates. GAH!!! 😀

That is what safe deposit boxes are for. Birth certificates, social security cards, stock certificates, bonds, bullion, death certificates, etc. In a safe deposit box, they’re in a place where even you can’t lose them.

They were there, until we had to do the taxes. They will go back in after today.

Yep, or safes. My BIL had all his kids’ cards in his wallet, the wallet was stolen, and two of the kids became victims of identity theft. I’m not sure if they caught the s.o.b. before he/she used the third’s number. As it turns out, people can use it to apply for credit cards and such if there is no credit history on them.

I know! I am so paranoid over that. Lifelock is on my list 😀

Well, keeping them OUT of your wallet is a great first step! lo

Three are in the safe now, so there 😀

I did that a couple months ago with my debit card. Could not find it anywhere. Called it in as lost. Found it the next day – in my wallet…

I’ve done that. Twice 😀

Safes are good. Read off your combo to me next time we chat so there is a backup location of the numbers…

Sure thing, I’m on it… 😛

Over a dozen wallets? Wow, I don’t have enough money to fill even one wallet.

Oh, there’s no money in the wallets. Just useless business cards 😀

Odd, I was a compass in my last life, too! I retained about half of those skills in this life, only losing the “comp” portion.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

I, too, was “comp”ed in a former life.

*rolls eyes*
I do that a lot 😉

I was a complete set of drafting instruments, the nice German Nickel ones. And just like when I was the lead holder in the set, most peope say I have no point.
