Guess I am the only woman around here who just buys a cheap functional purse that will hold all of the kids' stuff. And I have (oh the horror) a fanny pack for when I walk the dog (or more accurately the dog drags me around town).:embarrassed: Of course when you are staring down the barrel of multiple kids and paying for college, every purchase for yourself gets translated into, hey that would buy at least one overly priced engineering textbook.:smile:

What kind of murse should I get?

I just googled "man purse", and the first two images I saw was a $41,500 Gucci crocodile tote(?!), and a $19.99 Merona canvas messenger bag from Target.

Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum.

This girls purses typically come from an outlet mall. Still cheap, and usually small because I don't like carrying a huge bag. Also, the default present from my siblings for any birthday/christmas is a new purse.

Hey, don't feel guilty, I wasn't being judgemental, but more that Carvers was feeling insecure about her mom purse, and I can attest with my wife, it ALL changes when you're looking at something going "hmm..I think I could sneak a diaper in here."

While on this topic of shopping, women of CF. Opinions needed on this watch or any other watches from this site.

I'm not a huge watch guy, but looking for one for a conference I have to go to in NYC.

Guys can chime in as well. Not looking to break the bank and don't know of many good watch places.

Gross dude. Remember that awesomeness you were claiming to have? That would go away quick if you walked around in that old man watch.

Wait until she goes to the grocery store, opens it up to pay, and realizes she has a nut cup in there from after the Little League game.:embarrassed:

first thing that came to mind

Dr. Molly Griswold: Doreen, how did he get the name Tin Cup?
Doreen: Oh, he was the catcher on the high school baseball team. The star pitcher had a big-league curve... not all of his pitches hit Roy in the mitt, ouch. The team thought Tin Cup was a whole lot better than Clank.

Love that movie.

Did you boys all get mad when your parents made you wear a cup to play baseball? Mine did until one of them got hit there by a foul tip (pun really not intended).

Wait until you get to NYC and buy one on a street corner. Or I really like Bulova's Corporate Collection. If you are a Verizon user they offer great discounts through their loyalty program.
