In the outside pocket I have my eyeglass case......and that's about it! I know, I know.....BORING!!  Denise |

Ok, Ok...ladies and gentlemen!!! Please open your purses... or your briefcases... or those brown paper bags..... (I have a friend whose briefcase is a plastic grocery bag! He's one of the smartest guys I know but is a bit quirky - probably all that time spent in front of the computer - he's a techie you know. - is THAT going to get me in trouble? LOL) |

ROFL Ron!! Show us what's in your purse! I don't carry one because wherever I hang it or set it down, it usually gets left there. So if it don't fit in my back pocket it don't go. Usually the only thing I have in there is money. If I have that! LOL My keys get hung from there too. |

Well, I don't carry a purse, and my jacket pockets bite back... so let's sift through my backpack: ~Colorado ID. ~Safeway card. ~Gym membership. ~Library cards for three different cities (but not the one I'm currently living in... in fact, I'm not so sure Modesto even HAS a library. Hmm.) ~Card for the tanning salon. ~Rolled up wad of money. ~Keys that don't fit any of the locks to the house I'm living in. ~Vibrator. ~Three different types of chapstick. ~Dove Deodorant. ~Handfull of "ouchless" hair ties. ~A bandaid. ~Leave-in conditioner. ~A sock. ~A dead hamster. ~Witch Hazel. ~Dog bones (just in case). ~Enough change to fill the holes in the highway. ~Book of the moment. ~Crack pipe. ~Directions hidden/creased into the right corner that would have led me to the place I just got lost trying to find. ~Post-it with phone number for above destination, plus another number I don't recognize with a different area code. ~A LOT of lint. ~My last boyfriend. Oops. |

Jenn, that's not a purse. It's the makeup counter at Broadway. In fact, I think there should be three sales clerks standing around there somewhere. |

I am not supposed to have two...but I am special and subversive.. * 1 Waitakere Library Card * 1 Auckland City Library Card - never go there, but I might just start given that the university library is charging me exorbitant amounts for a book THEY lost...grumble grumble... * 1 ANZ Bank eftpos card. Won't see the light of day again - nothing in THAT account.. * 1 ASB Bank (My regular bank) business card for international insurance. * 1 Unity Books buy 10 books get one free card with places for little stamps etc. * 1 International student card. * 1 OPSM (optometrists) business card. * 1 Inland Revenue card showing my number (equivalent to social security number) * 1 emergency insurance card thing... * 1 Magic card - not sure why it is there, it is not mine...but there it sits. * One picture of myself and my best friend. * 1 Business card of a furniture shop. * 1 little wallet that holds bank cards and primary student id and visa card. * 1 comb. That is the entire sum of my Wallet. HOW boring. I mean...no body parts, no emergency parachutes, not even a tiny piece of cling wrap! Really..I must amend this... K is off to be more inspiring! Hmm...what to put in my new and improved wallet first... K |

I only have a wee lil purse.....called a sporran. Inside is where I store my kilt pin, brooch, and armor ring when not kilted. When kilted, that's where I keep my wallet, pack of smokes, lighter, and pen. There just ain't no pockets on a kilt.

Well I don't use anything to carry anything around. FOr school....a bookbag. I got about 3 notebooks while I require 6. I have no text books while I require 6. No pencils....no erasers...uhhh....and all the papers in there are crumbled in balls. Anybody care to guess my views on schooling?  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I'm in love with my shadow I admire it daily |

Lady DeVine! Don't worry 'bout me! The purse is medium sized actually, but I'm really good at making use of ALL space. I carry all the other important stuff in my day planner. Laters! Ron! Hey..you might be on to something here. I could just give makeovers right out of my purse! ohh...lets see..also manicures, pedicures...anyone for a little aroma therapy or a beautiful false tatoo? *points Ron to the chair of honor* Hmm...This morning I added one bottle of Jessica McClintok perfume and a few pens! Its gettin' kind of crowded in there! |

I've got these amazing things called "pockets" that I use to cram all sorts of things into. Here's a list for you. left shirt pocket: a tub of vicks right shirt pocket: a cigarette lighter one pack of cigarette papers top left trouser pocket: pouch of rolling tobacco severly crumpled £5 note bottom left trouser pocket wallet containing 4 ID cards, Automobile Association membership card, 8 assorted receipts debit card some business cards (wrinkled) not enough money. mobile phone. top right trouser pocket: car keys another cigarette lighter a large handfull of small change bottom right trouser pocket: a pruning saw. back trouser pocket: a chocolate bar wrapper. oh and all the pockets have got varying amounts of sawdust in the bottom of them < !signature-->Suburbia is where the developer bulldozes out the trees, then names the streets after them. - Bill Vaughan [This message has been edited by Colin (edited 01-24-2001).] |

Unlike my English compatriot, I absolutely hate have anything in a pocket. I'm sure that's a holdover from my military days (Marines do NOT have little bulges, though I'm told big bulges are acceptable). I might carry paper money in my right trouser pocket, but that rarely qualifies as a true bulge. I never carry coins, both because of the bulge and the fear people will hear me coming. My key chain includes a quick-release hook, which attaches to either my camera bag or fanny pack (or the shiny metal bars of a shopping cart). The bulk of the camera bag is consumed by the latest paperback, leaving just enough room for my wallet and, sometimes, a check book. The little pocket designed for camera lenses holds emergency aspirins and the like. A pen and a dozen 4x5 index cards for quick notes (not ruled, of course) pretty much rounds out the inventory. I travel light. Something anyone who drives a Miata learns to do very quickly. |

Ron neglects to mention that he also carries bungie cords - in case the inventory expands to the point where he can't fit it inside the Miata... Then he puts the top down... and straps everything on the top... Oh...and he prays that it doesn't rain... If it does, of course - there's another whole puddle-jumping story to be told....  |

Doreen, what are you laughing at? I’m just glad I found out why that thing was so heavy (and what kept turning the ‘toy’ on… heh heh heh) Hey, Nic, do you carry that Lego man around as a threat? Nicole whips out Lego man in front of annoying co-worker “See THIS? The LEGS are in my TRUNK!” I can’t decide which would make me like you more: That image or the Linux manual; Red Hat, none the less. psst… btw, where did you get the honey lip gloss? stated by an official member of:  JANET MARIE! They have flameproof mascara!?!?! And to think all this time I’ve been mixing asbestos in with my Great Lash! Where do I find this stuff? …Or is it only in miniature size? Of course this seems silly.. but understand this is from the girl that has a scar running from her cheek to her upper lip made by dental floss… and no, you don’t want to ask. The dead hamster came from the ex as well, I think. Dumpster with straps… heh heh heh. ~beth< !signature--> Auntie Em, Hate you, hate Kansas, taking the dog. Dorothy.

Dental floss? Oh sweet Beth...bless...a kindred spirit! The lego man is an offering to the Linux gods; I hear hackers like legos. hehehe (all I reeeeealy want is to install.a.plug-in...grrrrr) I'm drowning, heeelp. Signed: a brainwashed Windows userThe lip gloss! Oooohhhh...lovely find - I was at Nature's a couple nights ago, and found it sitting in a box next to the register. It has a little hint of mint in it - and once you get used to the .. unusual honey smell, then you're good to go. ~Nic |

Well seeing as my purse was next to me I thought I'd answer this but I got as far as Ron's post and..... "(Marines do NOT have little bulges, though I'm told big bulges are acceptable" I can't stop laughing enough to look, so I'll come back and edit later...ROFLMAO !!! ps: in my current frame of mind I'm not even going to attempt to quote the rest of that paragraph ... *wg* [This message has been edited by RainbowGirl (edited 01-25-2001).] |

In my purse? Don't have one. I don't have a wallet, and I don't carry anything in my pockets except money occationally. I don't have a backpack. So why am I posting you ask? Well, in my locker at school, I have... -a pair of moldy gym socks  -a pair of shorts that got a rip in the bottom of the left leg after being chased by a dog on my gym run :{ -a poster for dead day -many many many many many many crumpled papers -lunch containers from september -food that fell out of those lunch containers in september  -a body (I think it used to be mine. No, wait... ah, I'm confused!) ....peace as a primary objective is dangerous because it implies that we would sacrifice anything for the sake of it.... Robert Kaplan |
