What about you ladies, the soap, the smelly's, the pants that don't fit.....will you exchange them for cash, keep them hoping to get into them one day, or what? C'mon now, you can tell Ronnie and I promise not to let anybody else know!! |

I only got one gift that was a little useless, a clutch purse. It's really pretty, nice soft leather and it's like an oversized wallet and only has slots for cards, drivers license, cash. I can't use it for a purse because at a minimum, I need something big enough to include my phone, reading glasses and car keys. So I'm improvising and using it as wallet which I will carry in a slightly larger purse. C'mon now, you can tell Ronnie and I promise not to let anybody else know!! I'm holding you to that, Ron, lol.
