if it's something as simple as chapstick, sure, button it back. i'm pretty bad about losing chapstick.
why $40? is that just what'll get you through in a pinch? small enough to be okay with misplacing, but enough to get you a pour of brown?
i really have no idea..its just an amount that i make sure i always have on me..its from the same part of my brain that won't let the car get below a half tank of gas

hooded jackets don't look great either
