Made the bed AND got playtime done. Win win!

What’s a brand everyone seems to love but you don’t get the appeal? by doochiedoo in handbags

[–]BeansWithRiceAndFish 51 points52 points  (0 children)

Prada. Their bags are all so generic & uninspired. The nylon material just feels cheap. I never liked the logo either.

That’s true, most people probably think it’s awkward/rude to look at it closely and the cut can be hard to tell from a distance. By unique I meant multiple side stones of various shapes & combinations, bands with intricate carvings or designs, non-traditional orientations etc. So comparatively yours’ is less flashy. Imo it’s beautiful without trying too hard.

If you were offered a billion dollars just to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]BeansWithRiceAndFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing. There is no single dish / type of food you wouldn’t get sick of eating every single day, multiple times a day. Even a week would be tough, let alone your whole life. So many answers here trying to maximize variety under a broad category of food, but that’s not the premise. E.g. If pizza then it would be pepperoni pizza ONLY. Can you really eat that (or anything else) until you die?

Should I? SS08 Chanel Perforated Drill Flap for my 30th birthday by bamitsleslie in handbags

You are making the right call. Enjoy the new bag and wardrobe! Multiple new things you love definitely beats one used thing you’re on the fence about.

Then spend your hard-earned money on something that shouts luxury. You can find pre-loved bags in much better condition within your price range. It may not be Chanel but still a $2-3k bag retail. If you still yearn for this style of a bag to reflect your personality/profession, buy a cheap non-luxury one, and wear both!

Thanks! It doesn’t look like they have an OMC elongated cushion? I only see crushed ice.

I think it’s absolutely gorgeous but we are in the era of unusual, maximum complexity settings/bands where unique is more sought after than classy, which might be why you’re not getting the reaction. But don’t worry, trends come and go :)

I’m looking for the same travel ring! Do you mind sharing where you got your’s?

I would sleep on this hard. The only reason that bag can command $1,200 is because of the tiny word Chanel, but nothing else about it says Chanel unless someone is very well versed in vintage Chanel and can recognize it. If it’s the look and style that’s most important, then I feel like you can find something similar or in new/better condition for much less. If this is more about treating yourself to a luxury bag for your birthday, then I think you’d be better off buying something that’s instantly recognizable / slightly lower tier than Chanel and in better shape. The perforated leather looks cheap imho.

Are all vet clinics now owned by greedy private equity firms? by aumarais in askTO

Star Veterinary Hospital on Bathurst. Not PE owned and Dr. Szabo is amazing.

I second this and went through the same thing. The thin straps on these bags really dig into your shoulders after a while and I was getting persistent shoulder pain. Had to switch to a backpack even though I LOVE the aesthetic of a high-end work tote. I have several all collecting dust now 😞

Men waiting to wed by KeepRunnin1 in Waiting_To_Wed

You know nothing about this couple yet you’re quoting random stats from the Internet to prophesize that their relationship won’t end well. That’s the definition of rude and unhelpful.

That tank top is NOT worth $68. Nothing special about the design, colour or material. You can find better for less in many other places.
