re: BadNick
I used to save my folded fortunes from within the confines of a crunchy cookie in my wallet.
I also shoved in some tea packets of wisdom quotes, just because I thought they were neat.
(what is it that you call that small piece of paper affixed to the string, which in turn, belays the commercially-packaged tea bag into one's cup? Do you think it even has a name?)
This was before I forgot to take my wallet out of my trousers when I did a wash, and so, all my Western-Eastern snippets of wisdom were lost and soggy, along with the leather wallet. I have not yet sought to replace it, some decades later. (meaning: I have not sported a wallet as an accessory since that fateful day in the laundry room.) I also lost some trading cards in the raw deal, so that may make the ordeal slightly more traumatic.
