I recently got myself a “Mary Poppins” hand bag. It holds everything
and more!
I got wondering what kind of handbags you like.
Also if you are a man where do you put your stuff, do you have a man bag
or try to stuff everything in your pockets!
Are you a dainty bag person which holds a phone and pretty much nothing else,
or a sack packed for everything eventually. Ya know, earthquake, famine, flood.
Maybe you are more of a bum bag person.
Anyway here is my new bag modelled by Alice who likes it very much. Secretly I
think she wants to live in it!
As to why it’s a “Mary Poppins” bag, it starts off as this. Smart neat.

Adjust a few clips and it opens up like this, shopping bag.

It even becomes big enough for Alice to sit in and she’s piling on the pounds
a bit now. But shush don’t tell her I said so!

GIRLS like to go around with giant crazy handbags,
and GUYS like to go around with girls.
Storage problem solved.
So this thread caused me to look up women's clothing with pockets on Google, and there's this thing for women what's called "skinny cargo pocket pants." What the heck? The only reason on earth for cargo pants is to store a bunch of stuff. What are these I don't even...
Also I hate to think how painful it is to walk in those. As much as they are compressing the muscles in the thigh and calf, those muscles can't possibly flex like they are supposed to.

I like the little purple teddy bear too.
Alice is a very special bear, number 753 of only a 1000 made.
They are called silver tag teddy bears.
Alice is also very special because she reminds me of my aunt, same expression,
and also wear aprons!
I have two others James and Mason but they are not really into
women’s handbags. Maybe I should introduce them to the angle grinder thread!

I know that feeling, I’ve got a variety of large “to big to carry holdalls”.
They arrive at hospital heavy but then come home lighter as bits and pieces go missing.
Although last time when I unpacked we had a hospital pillow stuffed in one!
Oh and now I have a bag big enough to sit in, Alice wants to go to work with me!
I keep telling her she would just get bored.
I had this old lady Coach handbag I got from the outlet mall in Calgary. It literally hurt my shoulder when it was full. (More later on full!)
Then, this winter, I dug out one of my daughter's old university back packs and used it to go to College, I had about 5 books, a binder full of paper and handouts, and all kinds of odds and ends, including pencils, erasers, gum, throat lozenges and anything else. It didn't hurt my shoulder at all.
So, I thought, I need a back pack purse. I did find one, but it was cheaply made. So, I passed it by.
Then in February, we went to Bellis Fair outlet mall near Bellingham Washington. I found a blue leather, much fancier Coach back pack purse, on sale for 70% off. How much the original price was, I don't know, but it was a good deal.
I love that purse! It does NOT hurt my shoulders. I can fit my wallet, which probably has more in it than most men carry in a month, any kind of drug container, including asthma inhalers (3), headphones, condiments, lip gloss, eye drops, flash cards in multiple languages, tea bags, food/snacks, dental floss, hair brush and other makeup, several packages of Kleenex, many pencils and pens, rulers, my phone, and my iPad if need be.
Like Miri's purse, it definitely once belonged to Mary Poppins, it expands to take whatever I want it to take. Definitely, the perfect purse for a pack rat like me!

AND, dagnabit! One of the things I thoroughly enjoyed when I was young was how unlike our parents we were. Notice the difference between 1930s music and 1950s music. Notice the difference between 1950's music and 1970s music. Notice the difference in fashion styles, cars, any cultural tastes? We were seriously into not-like-our-parents.
What bothers me is music, fashion taste, cultural tastes have NOT changed since the early 80s! Rap -- started in the 80s, and still going on. Skinny jeans -- early 80s and still going strong. Droopy pants -- early 80s and still going on. American Idol like music -- early 80s and still going on!
Don't you get it? You're supposed to be not-like-my-parents, not like-my-parents! Y'all need something new, different, something that smacks of We-are-here!-Deal-with-it! You younger generations took conformity to new lows! Rise up! Do something different! You're supposed to annoy older generations for doing something different. You're annoying me because you're not! I bore easily. lol
(Oh, and your third generation of this conformity crazy, so can't really blame you. Just having fun with you. lol)
