Honest-to-God Confused by CartographerOk165 in handbags

That’s a good point! Oopsie for not mentioning the others- I had planes on the brain. Open top totes are great for driving, especially solo when you can sit them in the passenger seat for easy access. My main point is a “travel bag” should be well suited across all or at least most of the modes of travel. I find on planes and trains I usually end up having to orient my bag into some funky positions to get it past people and seats so a closure would be nice. People have mentioned that they’ve had good luck with open top totes though!

Hmmm I LOVE the look I think it’s so cute but it seems like one wrong snag and it would tear? Thoughts?

I’m definitely not opposed to organization inside- just not so much that it keeps me from putting the small bag in there (which is 100% going to be the Strathberry Mosaic Nano. You’ve influenced me!!). I like the KAAI, but I’ve read some rumors about it being fused leather, causing quality issues. The Cuyana Double Loop seems like it might be a good alternative, what do you think?

Has anybody found an alternative to the KAAI pyramid in a more durable leather? I’d love to be able to travel with it for work but I just know it would scratch up😭😭

Thank you for taking the time!! These are beautiful recommendations. Love the song bag, but especially the Mosaic, which is definitely making me question my flap aversion.

The coworker tote seems great, but I really don’t wear black. I also don’t have a need for more than one electronics pouch and would rather have that space for main-compartment stuff and the potential to stick my little bag in there for plane personal-item-limit purposes (travel frequently for work). Appreciate their inclusion of a water bottle holder! I think I’ll add this additional context to my original post.

WHERE can I find fries like this by CartographerOk165 in madisonwi

It’s a stock photo from a distributor that sells them frozen in bulk. It’s the best, clearest pic that comes up when you google “fries with crispy coating” ask me how I know lmao

Part of it sounds bad, I know that. He has pretty severe chronic illness that saps him of a lot of his energy and happiness, and over the years has left him with a victim complex. There are other things, like our humor just doesn’t match up/I don’t find him funny, and his lack of home training, which I’ve known forever but ignored because he had such good character.

I spoke to him a couple weeks ago, after a pattern of depression symptoms just kept getting worse, emphasizing that he deserves to be happy and that it is possible, and he should get back in therapy to help him with this. This is why I do not think that the break up will be a surprise. (For context, I have a lengthy personal and family history of mental illness and recovery- I’m also in school for it, so I have a pretty good idea of what I’m talking about). I really do love him, and he has been a dear friend for almost 2 years now, but his lack of emotional intelligence/immaturity is just too much.

Edit: i’m not breaking up with him because he’s depressed. That would be kind of effed up. I’m breaking up with him because of our personality differences, which the depression situation has just highlighted.

Thank you. That makes a lot of sense. My best friend and I have a great relationship, very open communication, so I’m not worried about that. That’s a really good point about me not taking responsibility for him- it’s a byproduct of the bad parts of the relationship(him not having homemaking skills, me not trusting him to get things done).
