A ladies wallet is a wallet, a purse is a handbag is a pocketbook, and a little pouch with a snap or zipper closure is a change purse. Billfold and wallet are sometimes used interchangably.

And a clutch purse is a small hand bag with no handle, usually used to carry just the essentials for dressy occasions.
See, I'm not as dumb as I look.

I am a total Digg addict. Next to the Cellar, that's my favorite site.

Recent sites I've been checking out include:

Cool collection of photographs/photoshops/etc.
Interesting software research
Recently discovered food/nutrition/recipies/health site
Audio versions of books in the public domain
Sifting through this site for a nugget or two...

I don't know what I did before the internet.

A NatGeo Channel program on the latest hot skinny on Australian megafauna caused me to Google up:

Diprotodon optatum

Thylacoleo carnifex

and some Dromornithidae. You can Google them-thar terror toucans (though they are thought to be closest related to ducks and geese) yourself.
