I'd like to be able to quit carrying a bag, altogether... but, I refuse to wear a fanny pack - isn't that what they're called?

gims, many times I run out without a purse and only a lipstick in my poscket if hubby is with me. I'll even go out alone with my license, credit card, cash and a lipstick in pockets. I love not having to carry a purse.

We have a Verilux lamp in our den that offers excellent light for reading. We inherited it from my MIL. It has mini fluorescent bulbs that are suppose to simulate daylight. It's not the most attractive thing, but we love it.

Yea, that purse/bag thing.

Even when I bike, I do carry the pannier bag around when I lock up bike. Admittedly it feels abit funny not to even have a tiny purse..if only a tiny shoulder bag.

This is why I like a well-designed knapack, leather slim-style purse that I carry on my back. But I have criteria in terms of where zippers/flaps are located..

I have not used a leather shoulder purse..in the past 10 years. No kiddin'.

For job interviews, I don't even carry a purse. I put my clipboard, writing paper and wallet plus hairbrush in my leather case portfolio. It has pockets inside. Large enough to carry a collapsible umbrella. I did carry this into work-related meetings with other colleagues. No purse.

What do I do if I have my period at work....I plot this in advance...I put my feminine hygiene packet(s) in my jacket pocket(s). Put my jacket on and go to the washroom.

But then, you're talking to a woman who in the dressiest of occasions will only carry lipstick, blush and brush in her purse --in terms of cosmetic-related stuff.

Anno, who makes your Aero garden? I would be interested in knowing since you recommend it.

I hate carrying a purse. I will go lots of places with my license, debit card, lipstick, and a couple of mints in my pockets. It's so freeing!

orchid, I don't even carry a brush...and it probably shows, but I'm beyond that. I don't go out with bed-head. I'm not that bad yet!

I bought this flat-to-the-body purse thingy before I traveled to Russia. It went around my neck and shoulder and was worn under my clothes. It still comes in handy. Frank is always making me put my purse in the trunk. I think it bothers him more than me!

My problem with purses is that I buy big ones and they become big black holes on the inside where I can find nothing.

Back to gadgets. How about the little flash drives for backing things up on the computer? I love them.

That's why I love this purse brite thing so much. I can find things now in my bag. I love flash drive, keychain drives, jump drives, thumb drives, whatever you call them, I love them.

Is there a purse that lights up inside when you open it? Hey, am I on to something? If there is one, I'd buy it!

Louisa, I have no idea what you are talking about...excuse me...little girl living in foreign country here...
Flash drive? Jump drives, Thumb drives? Whaaaat?

I second that. What are these drives about? We've been away too long, Hannelore. Never mind. I am a proud owner of the kettle.

LOL, Gims! The British blush at the mention of a fanny pack, which is called bum bags here. Bum is rear, fanny is frontal. Either way, it still refers to that part of the anatomy where the sun does'nt shine
