I do, indeed, own an umbrella. But it isn't a very good one so I often don't have it with me when I get caught in the rain.

I live in Oregon...so what do you think? *winking raspberry*

Since it can start raining without much warning in Oregon, I have a small, expandable umbrella in my purse at all times. I also own regular size umbrellas as well.

I only have a pocket one - I've never had one that doesn't fold right down. Apart from when I was teeny, but that was a little umbrella anyway.

I have at least 3-4 umbrellas (not with me, but at my home) at any given time so that I always have a backup for loss or breakage.

actually, thinking about it, I own two umbrellas (my blue one and a pink care bears one that I bought for a dollar at a garage sale)

Nope, not since maybe when I was a wee one.

Yes, I own a plain black umbrella with a hooked handle and a bright red plaid umbrella with a wooden handle. Both are smaller sized collapsable type. I love my red umbrella - it cheers me up on rainy days.

I don't know. We probably have one sitting by the hall tree as a decoration. Must be at least 20 years since I've used one, or needed one for that matter. It only sprinkles here when it does rain, and that is only a once or twice a month from November through March.

No, never have. Do not like them -- my arm gets tired; the wind blows 'em around too much; one then only has one available arm for carrying stuff; and they're lethal weapons on the sidewalk -- one has to dodge and duck the things. I prefer raincoats with hoods, even though the rain tends to blow under the hood -- still more comfortable to me than trying to hold onto an umbrella.

Yes, I have 2. One black one and Ethan has a spiderman umbrella.

Yes and I can never find one when I need one - so I recently bought a rain jacket too with a hood!!

No, I seem to have left it somewhere. To replace it, I bought a raincoat instead. It has to be REALLY raining for me to use one of these things.

Don't use it much though! Weather in my part of the world is hardly short of perfect. Oh, okay, sometimes it gets a little hot in summer, but then there is the beach, or air-conditioning. *smile*

I'd never want an umbrella. It's so nice to walk in the rain.

I own two... a small compact one, and a really large one. People in Washington state have umbrellas the way people in Texas have air conditioning. I should post some pictures I took of my flooded driveway from when it rained 3 inches in one day a couple weeks ago.

Yes, I own 2. One medium-sized one from the Nature Conservancy with a squawking baby bird on it, and one small, plain black one.

I used to own an umbrella, I don't anymore. Now I just get wet. Even when I owned one, I never used it much.

Wow so smart. To think about this, I have never ever owned an umbrella in my life.
I guess it's because I have a transportation and don't need to walk anywhere..

As I live in England, it helps to carry an umbrella around with me. I have more than one as they tend to break often.
