            It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




            I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!

                The "hobo" is a very large purse/bag with basically 1 main compartment. I have a couple by Kathy VanZeeland. I love her stuff!

                    a "Hobo" bag is a large deep one pocket bag..I guess it gets the Name from being so big you can put all your belongings in it.

                            Lol, Richt - yes I knew that.

                            I see - I need to get me a hobo for my work stuff. That sounds kinda wrong...

                                    Where does the term "toff" come from and should you smack your friend if he calls you one (even if he's laughing)?

                                        I agree, toting around work stuff is very wrong. Leave it where it is...

                                                Yeah when I think of Hobo I think of a roamer... A traveler who jumps on trains and hitch hikes to get around... with a hobo bag slung over his shoulder (typically with polka-dots).

                                                    I know some of you can. But I am also aware that some of you havent, and as I am in the minority on here I didnt want to risk any complaints.

                                                    At least you saw it, and you thought it was funny.

                                                            I see - I need to get me a hobo for my work stuff. That sounds kinda wrong...
                                                            I knew you knew what it was, but I thought it would be funny.

                                                            It never ceases to amaze me of how easy and how effective this ***diet*** is!!




                                                            I have since re-gained a bit of weight, but that is soon to be coming off again!
