HEY,

I HAVE LITTLE USE FOR AN EXPENSIVE PURSE AFTER TOS ! ! ! !

DAMN, I HATE THAT.

...AND NO MORE HIGH HEELS BECAUSE OF BACK AND NECK. DRESSING REQUIREMENTS CERTAINLY HAVE CHANGED.

NEED FLEECE WARM FOR UPPER BODY - COLD STUFF FOR HOT FLASHES - NO PANTS TO PREVENT LOWER BACK IRRITATION. MISERABLE. . . .

WHEN I DO GO IN, IT'S USUALLY FOR SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR. I CARRY NECESSARY ID AND CREDIT CARDS, CASH (PREFER RIGHT, FRONT PANT) IN CLOTHES POCKETS.

I DON'T WRITE MANY CHECKS BUT WILL TAKE CHECK AND PEN IN HAND IF NECESSARY. I PREFER TO USE CREDIT CARDS AND GET REWARDS.

ACTUALLY, I DON'T SHOP AS MUCH. QVC & HSN, SWANNS FOOD, STAPLES, MPB (FURTURE USE), RESTAURANT DELIVERY, HUSBAND DOES THE REST. I SHOP ABOUT TWICE A MONTH. MAYBE UP TO 5 IF I'M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL. DIDN'T REALLY REALIZE THAT, EITHER. TIME PASSES BY SO QUICK.

I HAVE RESORTED TO CARRYING STUFF IN MY BRA ! ! ! A YOUNG CHECKOUT GIRL CAUGHT ME AND SAID, "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THAT. I THOUGHT MY GRANNY ONLY DID THAT. OMG!" you do what you have to do

I HAVE PUT STUFF IN MY SOCKS - THAT DIDN'T WORK OUT TOO GOOD. THE EXTRA WEIGHT CAUSES SOCK TO SLID DOWN LEG. MAY LOOSE STUFF THAT WAY.

I HAVE CARRIED STUFF IN MY SHOE.

I HAVE A DOG PAW HOOK, IN MEMORY OF MY BEST DOGFRIEND MAGGIE, FOR MY KEYS I R E L I G I O U S L Y HOOK ON THE RIGHT HIP WHEN OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IN MY PURSE WHEN NOT USING THEM.

THEY MAKE THOSE NEW ALUMINUM WALLETS FOR CREDIT CARD PROTECTION. I'M GOING TO GET THAT. THAT WILL SOLVE TWO PROBLEMS FOR ME.

YOU DO HAVE TO ACCOMMODATE AND THEN ADJUST YOUR NEEDS. IT'S A CONSTANT TWEAKING PROCESS. DON'T GIVE UP.
