Nope. I don’t really carry a wallet anyway. There is a nice bikini picture that I could probably print out and carry with me, I guess. > [@CalMeacham](#): > > Yes. I have pictures of both Pepper Mill and our daughter MilliCal in my wallet. Do you find yourself looking at them occasionally? ---

Nope. I’m not going away to war or anything, so I expect to see her often enough to remember what she looks like. She doesn’t like having her photo taken, but I’ve been telling her that’s just because she hasn’t had it taken by anyone as good as me. I’m buttering her up like this because: a) she is really very pretty, and b) I’ve got lots of lights, stands, umbrellas, and stuff that I want to try out and I need a photographic model who works for cheap. ---

Yes. I have a few pictures of her alone, as well as a couple of us together. They’re stored as wallpapers in my cel phone, and rotated often. Why? 'Cuz I love her, and like to see her throughout my workday. :o ---

I have pics of my bf and our dogs and of the kids on my phone. I also have a video clip of my dog doing the happy dance that I like to look at when I need to smile. ---

Yep, I have pictures of my wife and daughter in my wallet and in my office. I see three pictures of my wife, fourteen of my daughter – eight of them in a multi-frame – and one of the three of us. I also have pictures of my nieces and nephews, although I’ve had to remove some of those from the wallet due to space restrictions. Oh, and one Valentine card from my little girl. RR ---

Yes, I have some pictures of him on my BlackBerry. At work I’m currently between desks so I have very few personal items right now, but I used to have a framed picture of him and his dog (who became our dog when I moved in last May). Then we got a puppy in the fall and I had a second picture on my desk of her, but a few months ago I decided to get a 4-picture multiframe. So now I have pictures of him, the dogs, and him and me, but no place to put it/them yet. 🙂 ---

I take a lot of pics in my iphone so they are stored there. ---

I have two pictures of my so in my cube, but none in my wallet. They’re not placed where others can easily see them. ---

I have one of those little LCD photo keychain thingies, so I carry around about 40 pictures of mi esposa and my boy (damn thing is always out of power everytime I go to show off the pictures, though). ---

> [@The\_Devil\_s\_Grandmother](#): > > I have two pictures of my so in my cube, but none in my wallet. They’re not placed where others can easily see them. I once had a picture of a 2-year-old in my cubicle. A coworker asked who it was, and I said it was my girlfriend. At first he kind of laughed and asked again. When I convinced him that it was, indeed, my girlfriend, he was aghast. “Dude – she’s, like TWO! That’s not right, man! Dude, you’re sick!” It was a while before I got him to realize that it was, in fact, not a _recent_ picture. ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > I know he doesn’t have any pics of me in his wallet or decorating his cubicle. Part of me is a tiny bit upset by that, but I couldn’t tell you why. I can understand that,\*\* Antigen.\*\* Been there before. I have a multi-frame of pics on my desk - there’s 5 pics of him. I also have several pics of us on my phone, with one silly one for when he calls, and one as a backdrop. And pics of us on FB, MySpace, LJ, etc . . . He’s not that in to having his picture taken - so he doesn’t really post that many pics of us online or anything. But I believe he has a few pics of me in his phone, and I know he has a pic of me by his bed. I don’t believe he has any posted of me at work - but he doesn’t really have a “desk” per se - they are all kind of communal. ---

You make me happy 🙂 I don’t have any pictures of my SO in my wallet or on my desk; all of my pictures of her are electronic. I’m a fan of pictures though; my last super serious girlfriend had a place on my desk (she’s still in the drawer come to think of it). My current girl and I will be slightly LD next year (an hour away) so a picture will probably have to materialize around then. ---

Nope. Now that I think of it, I would like one. Part of me feels slightly embarrassed that I have a particular ring tone for him on my phone, though, so having the picture would further increase the sap factor. ---

> [@corkboard](#): > > Is your coworker as much of an idiot as he appears to be? I think he was actually a pretty smart guy. He just got an idea stuck in his head and couldn’t get it unstuck. Then again, his girlfriend had just gotten a $40,000 (or something like that) settlement from an accident. He was planning on quitting his job so that they could use the money to open up a bar. “I’ll get to just sit around and drink all day!”, he said. I don’t think he had a firm grasp on the inner workings of the hospitality industry. ---

> [@Antigen](#): > > I know he doesn’t have any pics of me in his wallet or decorating his cubicle. Part of me is a tiny bit upset by that, but I couldn’t tell you why. This reminds me – I don’t know why – of an informal survey I did at work a few years back. (That is, I walked around and looked at people’s offices.) Most of the men had pictures of the wife and kids. Most of the women had pictures of . . . the kids.
