    How many drugs do you carry?  I feel like a walking pharmacy and I am wondering if other people are packin' pills too? 

    I carry:  Tylenol, Immodium, Benedryl, Claritin (for DH), Pepsid, and folic acid (in case I forget to take that at home). 

    :)  But I am always prepared!

    What "strange" things are in your purse?  I once accidently walked in to a courthouse for jury duty forgetting that I had a full sized pair of kitchen shears in my purse!  I had brought them to my car to open something, and wanted to make sure I brought them back into the house...haha oops.

    I don't carry a purse that often.  Usually it's just id, debit card, phone, and keys.

    I don't carry any drugs in my bag. I have my wallet, keys, and cell phone in there when I'm not in school.  During school, I keep my netbook and books in there too. I do keep tons of snacks in my bag. I always have a nalgene full of water, almonds, string cheese, and dried fruit. You know, just in case I can't eat for a few hours. haha.

    lol@ at the scissors! 

    I am like the anti-med girl and it drives my FI nuts bc i never have advil or tylenol! I don't even have any in my house i don't think. My purse does end up having weird things in it though bc its HUGE and i use it for work a lot so i'll have random exhibit labels or court docs or whatever haha.

    I always carry little purses so there's not much I can put in it: I have my ID, debit card and credit card, tampon, pantyliner, 2 bandaids, a couple of moleskins, blotting paper, lip balm, lipstick, a pen, a pack of gum, a granola bar and my phone.

    Lol, I work at a court house- we've heard of worse!

    I don't have many pills, though I wish I did because my head is killing me.  I usually do have motrin, vitamins and midol.  I'm fresh outta all 'em today, when I need them!

    My friends make fun of me for always having- a mini first aid kit, toilet seat covers and a sowing kit.  These are not strange to me!  I am just all about preparedness :)

    LOL at the kitchen shears.

    I don't carry a purse but my personal drawer at work is a mini pharmacy: tums, pepto bismol, metformin, benadryl, contact solution and allergy medicine.

    I always have pepto- my stomach is weird at times and likes to freak out when I eat certain things! I also always have peppermint gum in my backpack (mainly for tummy aches again!). I have pens, pencils, water, goldfish crackers, a book to read, my laptop and I think that's about it!

    I keep a little baggie of mixed drugs in my purse. A few ibuprofin, a few Benadryl, and an Excedrin or two. I'm not really a pill kind of girl, but I think everyone should keep those three handy. :)

    Other than that...

    Wallet

    Phone

    Smokes/Lighter (yes, yes, I know...)

    Tampons

    Reading glasses

    Sunglasses

    Umbrella

    Brush

    Bottle of water

    My purse is nicknamed the "Bowling Bag" purse.  It's huge.  I don't take medicines, except for ginger gravol for flights and basically any mode of transportation.  I have the weakest stomach ever.

    Anyway my purse is currently holding the following: my wallet, blackberry (but that's usually in my hand anyway) keys, wayyyy too many old receipts, my daytimer, my 5 year diary, pens, mints, gum, tampons, lipchap, a half eaten bag of chips, deoderant, a wedding invite to my friends wedding that was over 2 weeks ago, sunglasses, work keys/fob, some old bills, and some of those itune cards you get at starbucks and never download!

    OMG I have so much stuff in my purse right now. 

    Currently I don't carry around many medications, but when I was undergoing chemo, OMG!  I literally was a walking pharmacy!

    Now, the paperwork in my purse is a bit outrageous.  My puppy is going through heartworm treatment so I have all of his paperwork.  I am trying to do my name change so I have my passport, marriage license, mortgage statement, utility statement, etc.

    i have TONS of meds in my purse. i have gotten migraines my whole life, so it's been normal for me to break out my huge pill box during every meal. before i always had a few meds to prevent migraines, and then a few for if i get a migraine (one for if it's just a little headache, one for if it's a migraine, and one for if it's crazy bad). then i'd always have something if my stomach hurt too. now i'm preggo so my pills are changed some, but still there. i have extra strength tylenol, a tylenol/caffiene combo, prenatals, and folic acid. and i always have my pill cutter!

    Oh I lied earlier!  I just found 2 small paintbrushes inside!  My cousin gave them to me the other day because I planned on painting our monogram onto our aisle runner sometime this week.  I forgot to take them out :)

    I don't carry many drugs, just Advil, my migrane pills and reactin (in the summer)

    The weirdest thing I carry is a kitchen knife. I don't like eating apples off the core and so I cut them into pieces. This results in me always having a kitchen knife and an apple in my purse!

    I carry lots of prescription and OTC drugs.  Most importantly: a drug for motion sickness, a drug for vomitting, a drug for intestinal spasms, tylenol, gaviscon and alkaseltzer gold.  I also carry around a device for motion sickness that looks like a watch but it actually shocks my pressure point on my wrist for those bumpy bus rides :)  Some ginger candies for nausea.  I wish my GI tract would calm down!
