purse pack-a-punch!


The Viv Element

Recommended Posts

I got a new purse like 2 mouths ago right before the shutdowns happened so i never really had a reason to pack my purse but now i do since the city is easing up on some restrictions, I can't think of what to put in it, right now i only have mini sunblock, deodorant & my batteries for my cochlear implant. But i wanted to know if there was any basic needs a purse should have? such as protection, or anything that might help me one day. I'm thinking of buying a small canister of mace if they're legal in my city, but that's why i'm here; I wanted to know what everyone packs in their purse!

Love this idea of changing what these items really are. I've been mugged two times and learned after the first one to always have visible cash to hand over, so I don't loose my credit cards, and Identification. The first time was at a truck stop, the second time was at a 7eleven fuel pump. My 360° awareness has greatly improved.

 

Best wishes, stay positive and safe.

I think I can kill people with the amount of stuff I carry in my purse, probably the only thing me and my mom have in common. Only short is I don't wear make-up, stuff is terrible for your skin.

Lipstick

I love the responses, I have a HUGE thing where i always need to be prepared otherwise i'll feel empty lol. I could be naked with a fully packed purse & still be comfortable (not that i'm a nudist or anything lol ?).

Thank you all for the help!! my mind was drawing blanks anytime i tried to think. I'm definitely going to add some of my personality to this purse too, like some tags, buttons and whatever else. all of you will be on my mind whenever i decorate now hehe. 

I wish you all a good day/night ❤️ i'm always a message away if anyone needs to talk xo.

Sorry .. late to the party.  I've never been "Out" in public yet, but weird thing is one of my biggest worries is "transitioning" from pockets to a purse.  Lots of great ideas everybody!

I am not currently using a purse, hopefully someday! But one thing I will have in it is dental floss. I hate it when I eat a big salad and later I look in the mirror only to see little pieces of spinach in between my teeth!

Oh_Kay,

I'm a fan of the plastic toothpicks with floss at the end. Easy to store, and use with one hand, then discard in an appropriate container.

 

One arm >HUGS< accepted here.

This is obviously a translation thing, for me the purse is where you keep your store loyalty cards, cash and coins. Handbag/clutch is the bag you keep that in. I was starting to wonder about the size of purses people carried about!  I haven't been out more than a couple of times, but I took: wipes/tissues, lip gloss, eyelash glue, phone, coin purse, small perfume bottle, tights (though I ended up wearing jeans I had intended to wear a skirt and a spare pair in case of laddering made sense) and keys and I always have a keyring photo of my kids that goes everywhere with me. ?

Mine's actually more of a messenger bag. I could be carrying so much more and it has pockets for everything!

 

Sadly I may have the last one in the universe. It's hard for a geek girl to find styles that suit her.

 

My AWESOME Messenger Bag-style purse

I wish you didn't feel the need to carry 17 rounds of any heat. ? But then again I carry rocks in my bag, sometimes really big rocks.

Yes, different cultures, divided by a common language!  As an immigrant myself, I remember having to learn American vocabulary.  (Canadian vocabulary tends to be American, but our spelling tends to be British.)  You are right, we are talking about handbags. :)

Its more of a right to do so then a need.

Without saying to much I don't need a gun to protect myself with the training I've had in the military   I just prefer to.

Just having the laser grip dot illuminated on someone is a huge deterrent trust me.

I would expect it to be, since we are all only moral for the time being. As you can tell I don't like firearms, it's bad enough average folk have fists and have little knowledge of their power. May it never leave your side, or forever be sealed away till at the range where you can keep up practice.

      WOW @Ashley0616 it’s good that you have skills to treat traumatic injuries, as well as the ability to remain calm while managing others needs to get yourself and the boys ready to go to the hospital. Proud mama bear skills. I’m glad that he’s doing well.    Meanwhile back at the ranch, we slept in and I’m just now finishing my 3rd cup of coffee.    Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Well yesterday was not fun. I was getting ready to make dinner and I hear screaming and crying. I look over and my son put his foot through glass. He gashed near his Achilles tendon. Thankfully that is intact. I didn't freeze for a second. All of my military training came into play. I doctored him up and got Jett ready and myself and we headed to the ER. He is doing ok today. He says he is in pain but doesn't need Tylenol. He is a tough cookie!

      Hi,   It's seems today is my trans birthday.  I'm beyond excited. Just picked up my testogel from the pharmacy. Although I naturally have doubts as I'm sure do we all, they are rapidly disappearing. Yesterday I was so nervous I kept claiming I'm not trans, despite grinning like a fool knowing I can pick up my prescription the next day. I'm shaking and on the verge of happy tears. I will put on my first sachet this eve. Thanks so much to this forum and kind words from people. This is the first forum I found when I began seriously questioning.

      While the Soviet Union did not end up being the source of all evil, I believe that history has shown that Joe McCarthy generally was right. There ARE all kinds of Marxists slithering around. And if that had been dealt with firmly 75 years ago (or more) the nation wouldn't be in the shape that it's in now.    And while I generally oppose the idea of intervening in foreign affairs, the world probably would have been better off if we had taken care of issues in Russia and defeated the Bolshevik Menace back in 1919. God bless the memory of Admiral Kolchak.   Getting back to project 2025, my belief is that Republican efforts are inappropriately focused on trans folks. A minority of a minority does not wreck a nation. But it is easier to focus on trans folks because they can look like they're doing something. They don't have to address the real problems, and really they don't want to address them because they would have to address themselves.  They would also need to admit that the 50 State version of the USA cannot be saved.

      @Willow things went pretty well on Monday. I have been working on the project all week long. I've been hanging out with my husband a lot, since he said that nobody would mind because I'm working on company stuff. My work is going slowly, but it is going. Rather better than I had hoped.   I ended up waking up late this morning. After 18 months of only working on house chores, not really used to doing anything else. Actually a little bit tired

      Getting back to this… I've seen objections to Critical Race Theory, but simply "critical theory" is a new one on me.  I think we need to be "critical" about a lot of things, or at least examine why we believe what we do about them.  If they stand up under scrutiny, great.  If not perhaps we need to look at something else.   Not all socialists are Soviet Russian Communists. I have read very little Marx myself.  That kind of writing bores me quickly.  But I think there are legitimate concerns about unfettered capitalism.  There are countries that seem to do well on a mixture of capitalism and socialism.  But I am no Tankie.   The Red Scare kinda morphed into the Lavender Scare, and now we have this Transgender Scare.   The thing is, most people are scared to get to know any of the people they are scared of. I'm not scared of evangelical christians.  But I am a little scared of what they seem ready to do to me, because they are scared of me. I am not a scary person - don't want to be.  I'm just an old trans woman trying to mind my own business, and get with what's left of my life. And the 2025 project seems to be designed to make that difficult.
