One and a half key and a beer opener. ---

A fairly useless orange thing that makes a tiny red light when you press a button. Three keys–house, car, car trunk. Library card. Blockbuster (?) card. Or maybe it’s Hollywood. Always get them mixed up. ---

A beer bottle top (The Boy bored a hole in it last easter, on holiday in France. Or possibly the easter before that, I forget.), a short length of copper pipe, and some keys. ---

What’s on my keychain? Well… keys… and also my Albert Heijn Bonus card. ---

Way too many keys…2 keys for my current place, bike lock key, my parents’ house key, key for my parents’ car :D, 3 keys for the lab, one of which is a high security one with an annoyingly big plastic part. And a cool (to me at least) metal U2 heart-in-a-suitcase thing that I picked up at their concert 2 years ago. I also used to have a glow-in-the-dark alien on my keychain, but it was too big and annoying and I would’ve taken it off if it hadn’t fallen off first. ---

Office keys, office storage keys, a house key, car keys. And Tigger’s head. It used to be the whole Tigger, but he got old and it (his body) broke off and got lost somewhere. Poor Tigger’s head isn’t really orange and black anymore either, more of a white with a slight pastel orange and some faded grey here and there. ---

I want to know how in hell some of you can get away with only two or three keys, total? I have NINETEEN on my key ring… I guess I pass through more doors than most… -FK ---

A couple keys and a pad of ruled post-it notes. It’s good to have paper along with my unchained pen. 🙂 (It’s also one of the signs of being a geek. :D) ---

My house key, a couple of other keys, and a little wooden carving of my name I picked up in Florida. Doesn’t sound much, but please consider that my name is Iona. I never find stuff with my name on! As well as that, there’s a little wooden heart that goes with it, and a small dogtag. My dog died a couple of years ago, and I couldn’t face throwing away his collar tag, so I attached it to the keyring. ---

House key, garage key, car key, car lock remote that occasionally works, and a hunk of amber key fob that was my dad’s. My keychain is actually my husband’s old ID bracelet. ---

A laser pointer, two LED lights (a white one that looks like a bullet and a UV one that is teardrop shaped) and a bone-shaped engraved tag (which was sold as a dog collar ID) that says “NO SMOKING IN THIS VEHICLE, THANK YOU” (I have a company car and I occasionaly have to lend it out). ---

On a simple metal ring, I have: Wife’s Daihatsu key with annyong plastic back My Suzuki Samurai key Front (and only) door key Front door deadbolt key Key to the padlock on the landlord’s shed Green metal bottle opener shaped like a cute but ferocious fish. I used to have a Photon Microlight on the ring, but it got the axe because I’d have to take it off every time I went snorkelling. Too much work.
