What is in your purse?
A purse? I carry a purse around? Look, you can call it a book bag, satchel, shoulder bag, whatever; if you can't fit your sweater inside, it is a purse. Yes I'm talking to that guy who wears a fanny packs over the shoulder and thinks he's all that. It is a purse!
Now that we have the details out of the way, let's check out the usual contents of my purse, shall we?
- 1 towel (blue, hand towel sized)
- 1 small roll of duct tape
- 1 hard covered notebook
- 1 notepad
- 2 pens (1 black, 1 blue)
- 1 permanent marker (black)
- 1 metal tin containing
- 5 adhesive bandages (glow in the dark)
- 4 antihistamine tables (non-drowzy)
- 4 aspirin tablets (extra-strength)
- 1 daytime cold/flu tablet (non-drowzy)
- 1 multi-tool gadget with
- LED flashlight
- knife
- saw blade
- philips screwdriver
- flat head screwdriver
- long nosed pliers
- 1 container of lip balm (medicated)
- 1 container of hand sanitizer (with moisturizers & vitamin E)
- 1 tube of Binaca (spearmint)
- 1 eye glass case containing
- my clip on sunglasses
- 1 commuter train ticket (spare)
- 1 commuter train ticket (primary)
- 2 TTC subway tokens
- 1 Air Miles card
- 1 Chapters/Indigo iRewards card
When you list it out like this it seems like a lot of junk but I swear with all that in my bag I still have enough room to carry a water bottle and a sandwich and a few other snacks for lunch. What is in your purse?

yay for lists! but what about your wallet? in the pocket i guess. as far as my purse, i the basic minimum is wallet, pen, keys, cigs, lighter, lip balm, and cell phone. oh you forgot to mention your fancy clip-on cell phone holster thingy. that is all.

The fancy clip-on cell phone holster thingy caused my cell phone to drop last winter, cracking the LCD screen inside. Because of it I had to send my poor phone in for repair.
The fancy clip-on cell phone holster thingy is no longer welcomed in my purse!

In the Noodle's man-purse we have:
- keychain and its assorted sundries (car remote, bottle-cap opener, Hyuuga Neji figurine)
- old-skool transit token holder
- notepad and blue pen
- spare AAA battery for the mp3 player that is sometimes carried
- prescription sunglasses
- travel-sized Tylenol bottle (now refilled with Aleve)
Wallet and mobile are not carried in man-purse as they are usually located in coat and/or pants' pocket. Please note that I do not carry a multi-function tool (eg. Swiss Army knife) as I take MacGyvering to a different level and use only what is immediately available when the need arises.
