Purses are a no-go area? Conversation-wise? Really? I would be deeply suspicious of that level of secrecy. Riffling through is one thing, but just talking about it? Wow.

(Olivia - I have a book, a blank book, pens of various sorts, wallet, pictures, and tweezers. Plus a napkin and an occasional potato. Maybe a phone. Oh, and explosives - but don't tell anyone.... Just kidding. And how sad that I feel compelled to point out the kidding-ness of that...)

There are some subjects that I know I'll just get too sucked into if I start, so I shy away. Some are things on which all minds are made up and set, so why, why would I buy frustration on purpose?
