  1. Thanks MJA. Nice to know I’m not the only one even though as I got older, I’ve trimmed down the weight and size of my purse.

    Once when I was catching a plane in the wee a.m. for a month’s visit to our kids in Seattle I wore a cross body purse stuffed with normal purse contents and a few last minute items that didn’t make it into my suitcases.

    DH took me to O’Hare and got on the rolling sidewalk pulling my large suitcase. I was right behind him pulling my cgarry on. As I got on, my purse swung and the weight of it pulled me down.

    I splatted.royally. There I was laying on my back in a full skirt, worried that my skirt would get caught in the mechanism of the rolling sidewalk. DH turned around, abandoned my pullman and pulled me up just in time for us and luggage to safely disembark the sidewalk.

  2. No man should ever have a murse or wear a fanny pack. I don’t remember my wife ever really having a purse, she was very unconventional and very rarely wore a dress or a skirt but she loved her Birkenstocks even with socks on. My 3 kids threw her Birkenstocks into the Pacific Ocean at Westport, Wa. along with her ashes after she died.

  3. My grandmother would take butter packs, sugar, salt & pepper shakers, jelly, silverware, napkins, coffee mugs, and glassware from restaurants to fill her purse. She’d often offer up a treat from a tin filled with stuck-together fruit flavored candies that was buried in her purse, after emptying restaurant contents to get to them. I don’t think she ever carried anything else in her purse. Ohh.. and bread, she took all the leftover rolls.

  4. When I need to just run to the store to pick up one or two things (usually end up with 10+), I shove my wallet in my pocket and dash out the door. I worry the whole time that I’m going to need something from my purse. After all, you never know what could happen!

  5. A wise man once said “women will never achieve equality as long as they carry purses.”
    It now appears they will achieve equality by convincing men to carry “man purses” aka back packs.

  6. My big purse theory (for myself) is that over 20 years ago when I became a type 1 diabetic, I had to carry vials of insulin, a bloodsugar monitor, syringes, candy, emergency numbers, instructions on ‘in case you find my ass unconscious on the sidewalk, a notebook for recording blood sugar readings, baby wipes, blah blah blah and all of it had to be in special little bags for protection and blah blah blah. So depressing. My cute little clutch bag turned into a fucking flour sack tote with rope handles. Gaaaaah!!!

  7. I no longer carry a purse. I have a clutch type wallet with with ID, debit/cc cards and a wee bit of cash. Lipstick applied before leaving the house, tossed in center console if reapplication required.
    If I need anything other than those items, I stay home.

  8. If my wife’s cellphone rings and it’s in her purse and she isn’t in earshot I know better than to try to fetch it for her. That thing is scarier than a cave in Thailand filling with water. Expert spelunkers and Navy Seals quake at the idea of going a woman’s purse.

  9. That’s why I could never be a purse snatcher. I don’t have a month to go through it. I’d have to bring on a female accomplice to find the goodies. They are like safe crackers.

    Bringing on a female into a criminal enterprise never turns out well. Just ask Clyde Barrow.

  10. LOL!, that video fits my purse “personality”. I carry a small cross body purse with lots of compartments, filled with everything but the kitchen sink. I just like being prepared.
