i was asking about the purse and how you feel about it with regards to a privacy interest because i took great umbrage last evening to see xsteen rummaging about through my purse, in search of gum. I HATE anyone messing in my purse, and i am not sure why, it isn't as if i have secrets or contraband or anything in it, i just HATE anyone's mitts in it. xshub knows better than to dip his mitt in, and i saw my Sister in Law nearly snap my brother's hand off at the wrist when he went digging for aspirin, in her purse. I just wondered if it was common to have this proprietary interest in one's purse...

Oh, I see the issue now. No one messes with my purse unless I have told them to do so. I feel just as strongly about that as you do.

My mom (born 1921) was insistent on the privacy of a woman's purse, as a matter of good manners.
