My purse

[pegkerr]

On impulse, I weighed it at the doctor's office.

7.4 pounds

Oy.

How much does your purse weigh?

(And yes, I really do need everything that's in there).

Edited to add: At least I have the sense to use an Ameribag, which because of the way it is positioned, puts less strain on the neck and back and makes the load seem lighter. Layout here.

No purse here, but my mother's once weighed in at a whopping 13 lbs. That was back when I was in the age range of your daughters, methinks. She slimmed it down steadily over the ensuing years, and now carries something fairly svelte.
