So what's hanging from your car's rear view mirror?? if anything.

I have the Waterford crystal cross I purchased for my mom when I was in Ireland in 2001. She has since past away and I took the cross back, it looks great, catches the sunlight and sends rainbows all over the place hope she doesn't miss it. :blush:

I thought this was a pretty neat topic...... guess not. :cry:

That's why I didn't answer.

:hi:

I tell people it's a dolphin fetus.

that were given to me by a very dear friend in Madisonville, Kentucky several years ago

a necklace from the Dominican Republic, my employee car tag and a "Fire the Liar" button with a picture of *.

that my mom and sis brought me back from NOLA when they went in May, a Sponge Bob air freshener and two of those pine tree air fresheners.

Only not from my mom.

...still hanging since I was down in Cajun Country some years back.

:)

I have strong reason to believe she's guided me through driving situations not even Colin McRae could have handled.

strung by my 4yr old daughter and an yin-yang air-freshener.

and a stained glass butterfly. Buttons around it's cord too.

Not all of us get to dangle cute little toys from our mirrors :)

'ceptin mine doesn't light up(anymore). Mine is, also, very detailed.
I got it for when I was going to University....Physical Anthro major....and all.

Given to me by someone who was on trial for murder. First trial, a hung jury - second trial, no guilty. This was in NC, and the poor guy most certainly would have faced the death penalty.

He got it from one of the inmates at the NC prison in Raleigh, and sent it to me, in thanks for prayers and pastoral care (my best friend was his pastor at the time).
It's a constant reminder to me to never take life for granted.

Also, a green and gold strand of Mardi Gras beads, with crosses on each. It didn't help the Packers much, but it is pretty.

:toast: :hug: I'm a Packer fan too, although they've been pretty tough to watch this year. :cry: :cry: :cry:

in the truck, which rarely gets driven...

unless my Insight is broken, which it is. Grrrrr

a Chinese crystal ball that I had no choice of putting up - my mother in law made me. It is supposed to protect me and the car.

I really need a new car

I buy a new one evey Memorial day from the ladies of the VFW.

It also has some clear quartz beads on it. My dad's girlfriend got it for me in Hong Kong. It's quite beautiful and feels like a talisman of good luck.

:hi:
Welcome to DU, btw!

Shine

:P

everyone assumes I got them by exposing myself at Mardi Gras (I never got to go to Mardi Gras - :cry:), but they actually come from the last several years' worth of Pride festivals.

It's a clay replica of a stone age Sibirian find - one side shows the side of a man, probably some kind of shaman, and the other the head of a horse. We asked the guy for directions to the state stud at Szilvasvarad; he said he'd tell us by a glass of wine in his house (his way of getting customers for his wife's little hotel, but we always sleep in the car when on vacation) and when we finally left after three glasses of wine he gave me the amulet - saying it was just right for a horse person like me and would always protect me. So I just had to put it in the car because he was so nice... the idea of a talisman frankly would never have occured to me otherwise :)

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

Given to me by my best friend. I like having that reminder of him with me every day.

a Spongebob air freshener.

blue glass eye evil-eye-protector from Turkey, veterans forget-me-not flower, a hand painted miniature Hopi rattle made from a ping pong ball, macaw feather, rattlesnake rattle, descented christmas tree "air freshener" - because of the movie "Repo Man", and a piece of rawhide with the fur still on from a former bull calf.

What else? It's a '65, after all. :7

thats it.:)

... but my wife has a pair of fuzzy dice, to remind her of me :)

Won them by answering the Puzzler. :D

this one, in fact:

At least they hang there when I'm not using them.

on a little mobile, made from little triangular, holographic portions of several light rail tickets :D

The moon and stars is silver and was originally a really cosmic keychain. The crystal reflects and refracts sunlight on bright days and makes the inside of my car look like a disco. It's like totally cool, dude!

a Fimo rose and ex made for me, a Fimo bead an old friend made, another crystal that someone gave me on my 20th birthday, a Prana symbol thing, and a little Buddha.

a buddy and I got pulled over by the cops for having a fragrance tree hanging from a rear view mirror...after that, no more stuff hanging from the rear view mirro.

Originally her wings would flap when you pulled the string, but they don't work anymore. :cry:
