Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

[Niamh]

Well said Virgil!

Have you ever blacked out Baki? While on a night out with friends? I have. You have no recollection of what you were doing during that time or who you where with. Having a black out does not mean you passed out, its also when you can remember what you did. I was lucky my friends were with me or god only knows what would have happened. You shouldnt be angry with Steph. There was no one watching her back when she blacked out, and some creep took advantage of that.
(can we please stay away from the topic of abortion. Thank you)

Well said Virgil!

Thanks Niamh, but perhaps my anger caused me to write stuff I shouldn't have said. I've edited out what I think was improper.

There was some fowl language in it alright! But we all flip like that when we get angry. Sometimes its that stuff that truely shows how we really are reacting to things.

This is a big step for me - I bought a big purse. I usually buy small purses, the kind that only fit a cell phone, gum, lipstick, drivers license, cash and a couple of credit cards. Three of my old purses can fit in my new one, i'm sitting here thinking of the possibilites.....What do other women keep in their purses...I don't understand. Other then it's cute I'm not sure why I bought it or what I'm gonna put in this thing. it's a garbage bag with a tassle...(ok, that may be a bit dramatic..)

Not necessarily all simultaneously but...

A book, diary, pencil box, couple of cereal bars, a small bottle of water (sometimes), wet and dry tissues, hand cream...

Post a pick, post a pic! Have been looking for a new handbag for a month now!

[Shalot]

lipstick, brush, wallet, handiwipes, hand sanitizer, spray (helps with disgusting public bathrooms) stuff

I need a new purse too. I just got one but it was labeled as a work tote and you could fit a laptop in this thing (it has padding for one)

but what I liked about it was the pen holder and cell phone holder. there is nothing more frustrating than having your phone ring and not being able to find it because it's in the creases somewhere. And pens too - sometimes I need a pen and if it's lost in a bottomless pit of a purse I get very flustered.

the problem with a big purse is sometimes you don't know what you're pulling out. like one time, at the store I was paying for groceries and I didn't realize that a tampon had sort of adhered itself between the crease in my change purse. It was so embarrassing. I don't know why that embarrassed me but it did - I mean periods are a fact of life and most women have tampons in their purses. Anyway, I digress.

I like black purses. they're more veratile.

umm hi guys, i dont think that you guys should be mad at steph.she seems nice, where did she go, and why did she leave for good? i dont understand her blog.

I go back and forth between purse size. I get bored with purses quite quickly, I generally switch them every few months and it seems like I'll start off with a small purse and decide it's too small so the next one I buy will be huge and I'll love it for awhile, then decide it's too bulky and awkward and go with a smaller one the next time. The purse I have right now is really small because the last one I had was HUGE and I got sick of hitting things with it all the time. The new one just has room for my wallet, datebook and a little first aid kit (I'm kind of obsessed with first aid kits...I just love the small packets). I have a little pocket on the outside for my phone and gum. I bought it and almost immediately lamented my choice. In fact, I actually had a dream the very night I bought it where I was whining because my purse was too small. I've gotten used to it now...sort of. I might be able to go a whole month before I buy a new one.

I too love purses. I'll buy a purse a lot faster than I'll buy shoes or clothing.
My prize is a purse I bought years ago that I carry every now and again.
I only carry a small purse when I'm at a party or funeral or wedding. Otherwise, it has to be big. My life is in my purse. If I had to carry a small one, I'd have to carry something else to tote all my other stuff in.

I am not mad at steph. I did post some inappropriate responses in the discussion about her predicament but it was coming from my frustration with the situation and nothing I posted was intended to ridicule her.

I am sorry that happened to her, and I don't like her friends for leaving her there and I certainly don't think much of the other people at that party.

As always, I hope it works out for the best.

Virgil, you've said what most of us were thinking and I thank you. Steph isn't to blame here. If she was not aware of what was going on, she was raped.
Now she will have to deal with it one way or the other and he's off free to do the same if something isn't done. I just hope that Steph has the support of her family and friends. She appears to be a bright young girl and I hope the best for her. I'll keep her in my prayers.

I can't find a picture of it anywhere. I'll take one later tonight and post it.

haha - I've done that. There's always change at the bottom of my purse so one time I just grabbed a handful and with can up a tampon.

I carry separate little bags for such 'awkward' items in my handbag (either tiny make-up bags or even glass-cases or pouches) so even if the contents of my bag fall out, they are 'hidden'.

Looking forward to seeing the photo, Papaya!

[Granny5]

I have several bags in my handbag....wallets (3) and card holders(2) and a makeup bag, a bag for pens and such, and meds. I love wallets too.

I'm not very girl like on this issue at all. I can't remember the last time I carried a purse. I normally have a wallet and keys in my pants pocket. In the winter it all enters my jacket and it isn't permanently removed until it gets warm again. I always have a diaper bag for the more awkward things like tampons. I don't know what I'll do when that isn't available any longer.
