What's in your bag today?

Sorry, D. Sorry Beth and all. It was a silly test to find out if anyone would read that long list all the way through. <grin> But I apologize profusely. I think guns are frightening... and a little absurd.


Husker! Nice to see you up and about! It is a small bag, a rectangular 7 x 9 inches and one inch wide. That's not very big, but that list was mostly papers.

Hey Piffka, I just read where you're from. Where exactly is Bombay Washington?

Exactly? 47° 20.5' 122° 46.5'

Generally? South of Seattle on Puget Sound

More exact than south of Seattle on Puget Sound. I've never heard of Bombay. Is it Pierce or King county?

Piff dearest, do you carry a handbag or a suitcase ?

Gautam... LOL! I love your signature!!!

in my bag today: little alligator change purse with TDL, atm, credit cards; 2 huggies, wipeys in a ziploc, 1 pink bib, lotsa change at bottom of bag, extra house keys, clinique lip gloss in "divine shine", pony tail holders, pack of jolly ranchers, box o' cinnamon tic tacs and a compact.

Mchol -- Bombay is my little joke. I grew up on Vaughn Bay in Pierce County. Say Vaughn Bay several times, very, very fast and you'll understand how it got its nickname.


Gautam -- <smiling & waving> That was in a small handbag like this one:

hi piffka, my husband is from up there...he had never heard of bombay. i'll tell him about your little joke. i just posted topic about losing things here in general category...if you find my pony tailer up there, lemme know!

Piffka... Oh.. Ok. I've never heard of Vaughn Bay either. As you can see, I don't travel.

Mchol -- Do you live in Washington? Seattle?

Hi PamO,

I'd be surprised if your husband knew "Bombay." See even Mchol, who must live around here, hasn't heard of Vaughn Bay! It is very small and doesn't have any stores. There is a church, a school and a boat launch.

How old is your baby? Must be a girl if you have a pink bib. Don't you just love Clinique lip gloss? My favorite color is "Black Honey."

A pony-tailer? Is that like a covered rubber-band?

Yes Piffka, I live in Washington. I have my whole life, and I've never heard of Vaughn Bay.

How 'bout Gig Harbor?

Thanks mchol. Once you meet me in flesh, you will love me too !! Just ask Piffka

Piffka, you can pack all that in such a small bag, then you can probably pack my entire house in a big suitcase

He is totally lovable... yes! I can vouch for that... and fun to drink with.

I dunno, G. I thought YOU had a lot of stuff in Your Bag! A lunch box? All those copies? A bottle of scent? Quite impressive!

Piffka: Gig Harbor? Yes... I'm not too far!

Gautam: So you've met Piffka? And you're Avatar, has that any resemblence to you?

Where are you, Mchol?

Gautam looks like that without turban.

I'm in Tacoma...

I didn't notice it was a turban! I thought it was like, really long blond hair.. Heehee

Cool. There's another a2ker in Tacoma, too. Peace and Love.

My purse is about 8" tall and has a strap long enough to go over my head. I like my hands free.

I used to use huge purses, but started having back trouble. A doctor once weighed my purse to make a point about that.

I do have lots of just-in-case items in my desk at work though. In my previous incarnation, those items would have been in my briefcase. And coupons and bank slips are in the car.

Contents of my purse:

wallet with $119.83 (more cash than I usually carry, but just came back from a trip), driver's license, auto insurance card, 2 health insurance cards, a couple of credit cards, ATM card, library card, YMCA card, emergency numbers, a check I need to deposit
house/car keys
spare car key (ever since I read soz's nightmare story about being locked out)
asthma inhaler (rarely used anymore)
lip gloss
coverstick
facial blotters
Listerine pocket pack
Carefree Koolerz sugar free Lemonade gum (it's the best!)
prescriptions from the doctor yesterday
pencil
nail clippers
