jackinman: Or better yet, can someone please tell me what's in Queen Elizabeth's pocketbook? I mean come on folks she is the QUEEN. If she sneezes a hundred hands with tissues will be ready to clean her snots, she definately doesn't carry any of the things that Nony has in her purse, so what is in that pocketbook? :D

Sorry Nony for veering this topic so early in your thread. But I'm just a curious guy ::)

No offense to our friendly British members.

Ok back to Nony's thread folks.

When I was a kid, Mom would watch Art Linkletter's House Party every afternoon. During the broadcast Art would spend some time walking up and down the aisles in the audience interviewing various folks and he'd suddenly grab a lady's purse and go through it right there on live TV. Naturally it was embarrassing and hilarious but I often wondered how much stuff he found that he didn't dare show the viewing audience.

OK this is what is in it:

sanitary napkin
small brush
3 pony tail holders
excedrin for migrane
tylenol
bayer
alieve
rolaids
floppy case holder holding three floppies
one loose floppy
papers concering work
ID for work
Certs
four lighters
money
one lipstick
one lipliner
one chapstick
small address book
small calendar
memo pad type thing
four pens
two pencils
that travel purse thingy

Ok in the travel puse thing

small rosary
business card
receipts (removing now)
eclipse flash breath strips
ATM
Visa card
Insurance emergency card
Insurance card

liscense
reservation for flight from August (that taking out now)
Silverlink London Euston trin ticket (removing that also)

sammygirly: No way I was listing the contents of my wallet, it's large and we'd have been here a long time.

But here's a question on this topic for the guys...

My best friend, a man, WILL NOT go in my purse. Sometimes when we're out he'll need something "Can I use your chapstick?" and I just holler "It's in my purse!"

No matter where I am, he will carry the purse to me and stand and wait until I dig it out - he will NOT enter my purse. He says his mother beat that into him - a man DOES NOT EVER enter a woman's purse.

Anyone else notice this phenomena?

Whoa, sammy! What a can of worms the purse becomes when a guy dares get into it.

My ex-wife is one of those who guards her purse like it's got Fort Knox in it. Don't even approach it.

wvalady1968: I think it comes from growing up around "Mom's purse".
Moms gotta guard their purses well from the younguns.
It just naturally transfers to all purses?

GreenEyes: a purse could be an extension of self.... one never knows what a woman might hide in it.

I remember one time going through security at the airport they wanted to check the travel pouch thing after clearing the decteror... I didn't mind and said outloud, "ok money and condoms in there."  The security guard got a chuckle.

However I wouldn't be that blunt if family or work friends was about.

My ex-wife's purse was more of a backpack. When she'd ask me to get somthing out of it, I, for the life of me, could not find anything in it. She would just open it up and pull it right out. I can tell you that of the things that were in it, the strangest was a text book from about six years previous. When I asked her why she had it in there, she didn't know. But she has yet to remove it.

Just out of interest, what does Splenda taste like? I have this general thing against artificial sweetners as they usually just taste plain nasty (esp. saccharin!). Nutrasweet isn't so bad, but still has a nasty 'artificial' aftertaste.

inquiringmind: Hi Longtime,

It is really great.I have totally abandoned Equal. It is made from actual sugar ,but the molecules have been rearranged. It has the depth of sugar and no funky aftertaste. It stays sweet in hot or cold food and drink. So no need for 50 packets like you do for equal when you are drinking coffee or tea. I am totally diggin' it. So ,if you are diabetic or just want to keep slim and trim go for Splenda.

Thanks for that,

I'm a chemist, anyway - so I looked at the info on how it's made on their website, I am a bit reassured that it is sugar-based, though. It's only just come out here, though - so I haven't had a chance to try any.

Don't really need to keep slim, as I'm bordering on underweight as it is(!), but they just don't seem to make drinks without sweetners anymore - which is a right pain in the ass if you don't like the taste of them!
