I always used my ties and socks for that. A watch is all fine and dandy to show style, but when you wear the same one every day, it stops being style and starts being just a watch.

Why do you think women switch out their purses so often?


I don't really switch purses. I have my everyday one, one crossbody I used to use for shopping/out and about because it's lighter, and a little wristlet when I only need credit card and phone. Oh, and two nice looking clutches for weddings. So that's 5, I guess with 2 really in use. If I got a new one, it would replace the wristlet and crossbody one. Especially since any larger of a phone won't fit into the wristlet. Sad times.

But I know a lot of women use them as more fashiony things. I use necklaces and scarves for that. I worry about what mtown says - forgetting things if I switch all the time. Like when I took my wristlet downtown for a birthday party at a bar and forgot my ID this winter. I was happy and sad they believed that I was over 21 and let me in.

I decided the other week to get back into running instead of just using the stairclimber and bikes, and now my lower back is sore as hell. Guess I need to look up some stretches.

This happened to me when I first started running. Not sure if it was my running posture or just muscles needing to get stronger. I'll lob another softball to Pantsy, but I did stretches on the bed because it was less 'harsh' on my back compared to the floor. I did that thing where you put your arms out and rotate legs to each side - actually, here's a pic thing. #12 but I did some of those other lower back as well. I noticed it hasn't been an issue since then even though my running hasn't always been steady - not sure if doing lower back exercises like supermans helped with that.

So after I went for my first run in a month on Sunday my quads were just dying yesterday. So I go to my gym class and apparently it was squat and lunge day. FML. I can usually do lunges until the end of time but I had to stop a couple times because it just hurt along the outsides toward my knee and not in the good way. Still pretty sore today. Guess I need to go running more often!

I own one and it's buried in the closet. Detest purses - just carry money and credit cards in my pocket. Never understood women that carry huge purses to games.

I always thought you were supposed to stretch before, but it actually seems to help me more to stretch after. May just be old lady anatomy.

Guys asking about watches. Gals talkin' pursues. Moms talkin' clothes for their grown up boys.

Because I respect 55 and you, I'll just quietly think to myself over in the corner here.
