Weather is rather unpredictable in my country-rains can form suddenly, and a cool weather can turn too hot at the blink of an eye-now do you carry aa umbrella all the time as you leave home? Me I dont and I have paid a heavy price for not doing so!

I go mostly in my bike and it difficult for me to handle the umbrella even if it rains.. Other than this, i used to leave the umbrella in places where i go.. so it is better to avoid using it, and get drenched in rain.. I love to stay out while raining..

No I don't. I usually watch our local weather report to see what I need. Even then most of the time, I get caught without one. My hubby sometimes keeps one in the car. Often we get wet either way.

I hardly ever carry an umbrella. I only take it when it is already raining and lots of times I forget it on the streetcar, bus or subway. Sometimes I have a drawer full of umbrellas because I buy one when I forgot to take one with me; sometimes I have none left because I lost them all. I also don't use the long ones; I buy the small collapsible ones that can fit in a bag.

Hello dear academic friend. Usually I don't carry an umbrella with me unless I know that it will rain. But the weather in your area that you have now seems somewhat like the weather in Britain, where people are seen to carry an umbrella with them when they are out of their home. . .

I NEVER carry an umbrella. I always forget or end up leaving them some where. I try to monitor the weather and plan my week accordingly. My husband takes one everytime he sees a cloud. I figure we go out together most of the time so I am covered at least some of the time. lol I think if they made an umbrella that was convenient to carry and wasnt going to break at the first breeze that blows then maybe I would be more apt to carry one. I have had expensive ones and they are just as useless in a real heavy rainstorm as the less expensive ones. I guess Ill take my chances. Theres also the rain song: Rain rain go away, come again another day, dloveli wants to play. Maybe I should try that. lol dl

you know what? that is what i normally forget to bring with me. haha! maybe for the reason that i don't like carrying things with my hand anywehre i go. teehee! but since this past few months it has been raining nonstop then i think i should go buy one for myself. i always get caught by the rain everytime i walk in places with no shade. haha!
