What is a object that is meaningful to you? Why?

Something like a ring, or a jacket. Or a old bracelet.

I've got an old pre-PRC coin from China where one of my great grandfathers served in WW2, and a 20,000 Colones bill from when I lived in Costa Rica.

I keep em for good luck I suppose and I aint dead yet so I guess it's workin

My computer is most meaningful to me because without it I'd be really bored and I wouldn't be able to do work lol.

my dog tags, and my grandfathers dog tags, my dog tags because its the only thing i have left of when i served with such great bad ass men and it reminds me of how much of a kick ass motherfucker i can be when i need to, and my grandfathers dog tags, because its the only connection i have to my grandfather who i never knew because he died before i was born.

What's a meaningful item for you Jewell?

My kids are very important to me. Not to think of them as objects, but they're important! ha

It’s really hard to think of an object I find meaningful. If I had to choose, I’d probably go with the pocket knife and watch I got from my grandpa after he died.

my grandfather got a german helmet in ww2 and he made it into a motorcycle helmet

My books. I have a bookcase in every room but my kitchen ha-ha.

I have my dads dog tags and his old cammies

Then my truck

Basically anything my parents give to me now.

Since coming to uni I kinda started to really appreciate the things they give me, and whenever people mess with any stuff they give me, even if it's just toilet paper, I get pretty mad.


P.S. That toilet paper's the good stuff man, none of that 2-ply crap.

There are really two objects that I cherish right now and that's a watch and an old blanket. I got the watch from recycling and volunteering a bunch in high school, and it's worth a good amount ($400 last time I checked). I got it during a big event for Seniors at my high school and it was the last time I saw a lot of my friends so it has a place on my wrist for a long time.

The old blanket is one of those baby blankets you see now and again. It was given to me when I was just a few days old by my uncle. It's got Winnie the Pooh and Piglet on it. Though it now only really covers a leg instead of my whole body I still keep it around since I've had it since I was barely alive and my cat loves it. Ngl I still find myself cuddling next to it at night. I might end up giving it to my own kids at this rate!

My Father's Bronze Star medal from his time spent in the Army while in Korea. My Grandfather's Army Capt's Piss pot which he wore as a Army surgeon during WW2. Their dedication and service to our country made me very proud and instilled in me the urge to follow in their footsteps in military service.
