    :eek:

    I don't carry one. Well, I carried one on the way to Aruba as my carry-on. It had my wallet, passport, phone, a pen, a book (Into the Wild) and lip moisturizer in it. Otherwise, I carry my wallet. Even then, when I'm out, I only bring my license, debit card, cash and my car key. I can't stand carrying a purse with me. If I carry one, I find more shit I don't need to put in it.
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    k IM gonna answer this one. for ME, i cannot carry a PURSE. its true SENROCK! FASHION to just grab what i need and shove it in my pockets. ESPECIALLY money. I have a really cool quiksilver wallet and i SWORE i would get organized and use it TO PUT MONEY IN. nope. Its all wrinkled up in my pocket! I have a badd habit of that and i ALWAYS lose cash. ALWAYS. It happened 2 nights ago. *sigh* maybe i SHOULD carry a purse but i CANT!!! its not me!!!!

    I always used to buy Quicksilver wallets. Don't know why. I've never been on a surfboard or skateboard in my life. :D I just liked the style. I think it was my brothers taste rubbing off on me.
    And like you, I just stuff things in my pockets.

    I don't hit on women with pocketbooks, purses, or any kind of bag as that only increases my chances of being maced.

    in my "real" purse, i.e., pocketbook, I could save the world of small crisis'. At any random time, I may have a various amount of colored pens, receipts for anything from BK to something worth saving them for. Gum wrappers, gum wrapped in receipts, (!), my daughter's barrettes, my son's (taken away) lazer pointers, a toy airplane, a letter I began to write in venom, a calendar that just makes me look efficient; I never look at the thing really, a checkbook; a tinkerbell one at that!, but zero balance most of the time....keys, brochures, buttons, feminine stuff, lip gloss, lipstick, gum, scraps of paper for my adhd moments when I get this "GREAT" idea that I am afraid I will forget............buttons sometimes, scissors, (if I was gardening and forgot to put them in the house when done), and my cell phone.

    Now, when I went to court last week, I took 2 purses; one was in the car;the real purse, and the other was like a toy little purse, pink to match my shirt, that had only my car keys, one lip gloss and my telephone and court papers.

    I felt so light.
    But back to the bottomless pit.

    I guess I always like to be prepared.

    Ok thanks. They're not purses either. Here a purse is what a lady puts inside her handbag and it holds her money, cards etc. :)
