I have a loose-jointed, robot thingy that came in a plastic ball from one of those 50c. vending machines. I can’t tolerate **not** having something hanging from my mirror.  
Peace,

I personally prefer not to adorn my rearview mirror, but my daughter hung a bead cross she made on it and I am afraid if I remove it I might be hit with a lightning bolt or something. I also have a pet rock named Julie Ann that keeps my coffee cup from tipping. My daughter adopts and names many rocks, but so far Julie Ann is the only one to actually prove herself useful. The others have a tendency to disappear when the kid’s not looking.
