      If my wife had her way, she'd carry an Alice Pack. Her purse reminds me of the commercial on TV for the Buxton Purse. It shows a whole table full of stuff, and as the purse gets loaded up it expands. We watched the ad together, and I looked at her grinning, and she had that look in her eyes that screamed...take a defensive position. Ya-all don't really know her but I can say she's a tough cookie and takes no guff...whatsoever.

      Anyway, when I decide it's safe to be a smart aleck, I make sure I have an exit route. Oh yeah, her purse, is it heavy? I suggested wheels, and then ran out of the house.

        not sure about what each indiviual one weighs, but I bet she has a couple hundred pounds worth of them around here.

        If at first you don't succeed, deny you were trying in the first place.

          Add debit card to that and you have my wife.

          My wife has an affinity for purses. Expensive purses. It is her one true vice. And it is bad. When I get the custom walk in closet finished and post pix you guys will be blown away. You will see why I get away with all my tool and wood purchases. She has a SawStop or two hanging in the un-used purse section of the closet.

            I am not married, and even I know, you don't carry it. You stand there holding it, while saying YES DEAR, when they drag you "shopping" (torture).

              And you know what is funny about this, I go with Mark to HD and places like that and I usually am pushing the cart with the kids around me and I am the one standing there saying "YES DEAR" or "wow, thats nice".

              So its not just the men who have to do this when the women of their lives take them shopping.

                My wife is 4'11" and drives a 4x4 GMC Sierra short bed. She claims it is to get up the driveway in winter but I think she really needs it to carry the purse.

                  My wife and I watched this ad for an "expandable purse", and had a good laugh. She made a comment about how it looked after the bottles of water got inserted, that there was room for a cordless drill and a hammer.

                    While I understand exactly what your saying, as a woman, I think you know the look you would give me, if I put wheels on your purse.

                      Try as I may, I could not come up with a unique Christmas gift this holiday so it was YAP (yet another purse).

                      Dooney & Bourke "Signature Anniversary" Medium Slouch Bag for those women out there. I was gonna get the matching Checkbook Organizer as well but amazingly it was $185!
