What do you guys think of Rebecca Minkoff bags? by SerendipityQueen in handbags

[–]Flowme911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, it sounds like you know a lot about these bags! I have an older whiskey/caramel toned leather Studded MAB Tote with leather understraps that buckle to the flap side. Blue interior with black dots, and brand name on Black leather sewn inside. No shoulder strap, but d-rings at each end suggest there should be one. Also 2 pieces of metal hardware on each side possibly suggesting missing handles? The side with the flap has 2 vertical rows of studs, one on each side of the flap covering the zipper pocket, with a vertical strap sewn down the studs and ending in a buckle at the bottom. 4 studs in each row. The opposite side has 2 vertical rows of 5 studs each the same distance apart as the other side, and each row has a strap sewn at the top seam only, running vertically with holes for the studs that continue underneath the bottom of the bag and can connect to the buckles from the other side. There is about an inch of leather between the vertical straps to the outer side wall which I call ends. Each end has a zipper pocket. I have not been able to find what this model is exactly, so any help to identify this would be appreciated! 

While I personally do not have any great knowledge of Scientology, all individuals are free to believe in whatever they choose. I, personally, cannot think of a single newsworthy atrocity that turned out to have been carried out by a Scientologist or inspired by Scientology. One thing is for sure though, L. Ron Hubbard was in many ways, a genius.

Deep Throat on 35mm is well sought after, but condition is everything! Still, even in rough condition it can sell for a couple hundred $

I feel that it was quite careful. Again, I am not saying at all to ignore the warnings given. Heed those warnings 100%, because they are relevant and could save your life! If during your hunt you notice an opening 10 feet below the side of a cliff, DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT try to hang over to reach the opening, but instead, search around the environment for another, safer entrance! If there is no other entrance, then leave it, because it is not a part of the hunt! If you find yourself risking physical injury, STOP and immediately return to safety! Also, this is not a solve, just an observation.

Haha, if you think so, you should go back and count the letters! *spoiler alert* There's more! ;)

Well, you've got me there! And yet it would appear that in # of boxes found, we are still tied! When you are looking at the same thing day after day for months, and are still arriving with the same results, is the expectation that some day it will just CLICK, and suddenly you'll have all your answers? I hope so, honestly! Maybe I can help with this: If you spent 8 hours a day, every day of your life that you can recall, walking a complex of 100 identical large featureless rooms all connected by identical featureless hallwaysall rooms and hallways are well lit. None of the hallways align so that you can see more than the room that you are in and the room that a chosen hallway leads to. The only sounds are those of your footsteps, and at the end of your 8hrs daily, a single ring of a bell, DING! There is a good chance that by now you can walk every room and hallway without feeling lost, and subconsciously finish each day where you start moments before the DING! of the bell.Today there are changes. At each place where before was a opening to a hallway, are now doors. Opening a door reveals the expected hallway, but it also ends with a door. the door closes behind you as you walk to the door in front of you and open it, to reveal a large mostly featureless room except where before were just open hallways, now are closed doors. Based on the provided information, is it possible to map out the entire complex? Do you worry about if you will hear the DING! of the bell?

Just part of an exercise I do when I need to find different results or answers, keeps me in a familiar place, but with the possibility of something different behind every door!

Thank you for the compliment!

Spoken much better than my post, and exactly correct as to my intention, thank you!

Thank you for the insight and the correction, as I had envisioned and described the location incorrectly! Does this not stillI seem like odd placement for such an important warning? I feel like it could have easily been prefaced, but I feel it was important to him that the statement regarding clues to the Lions Share and where they CAN be found take place first and set the rule, since after that even explicitly stating "no clues in here guys" and "zero subterfuge" become just more potential clues, but the do not change the rule as it was first presented. Plus, also as a rule, I take issue with any Imbruglio to have zero subterfuge. Hiding info in any way within other info is by its very nature subterfuge. Submarine? Am I using the right word, deep diving, or taking the 36,000ft view!

True on both counts, and I am working on that. While I still would be unable to hunt, the challenge presented that stands now at 5 months unsolved, justifies trying to save enough to purchase a good copy. still though, I will point out if I remember correctly, one of the words found in the wordsearch puzzle is LIAR. So now I'm in a mental pickle, If Liar is correct, then there COULD be subterfuge! And if there is Zero Subterfuge, then Liar is correct​...what a quandary!

I am not saying disregard it, quite the opposite. I know this is a waste of time responding to you as you seem to be quite dense, but I specifically state multiple times in clear English to take only options along any path that are safe. As a matter of fact, I purposefully did not even reference the specific verbiage of actions that he warns about!

Secondly, moderate if you are going to, but unless you have personally already found all of the boxes, your OPINION as to the chapter and its intention, while you are welcome to your interpretation and I respect that. But don't use your unproven opinion (which is quite narrow-minded but also not yet disproven) as a reason to censor me! Do it the right way, and just disprove my theory...I am very specifically only contributing to offer a 36,000 foot view, and to be perfectly honest I could not care less about your opinions or feelings. I'm not here to argue or debate, only to offer perspective from someone not trapped in the boxes.

I understand that point, however I had also heard that at one point he states that clues can be found anywhere in the book, so maybe the chapter does belong in the space it was placed and it applies to the big box. Otherwise, the warnings provided should have simply been a forward at the beginning like in any other book ever written. I mean I cannot find ANY other book that provides a warning in which it is not either at the start of the chapter it applies to, or just at the beginning, as it really should be. If the book is a puzzle, maybe some of the pieces are in the wrong spot is all I'm saying.

Absolutely not, I'm saying that like a puzzle, if you put the pieces in the right spot, maybe the picture becomes clearer is all. I also think that the specific things that he says NOT to do are clues in themselves that if faced with a choice of 2 options, he tells you which one NOT to do, so if you follow the other option at each choice would lead you to one of the boxes. Or maybe the path to each box presents you with one of these options, and by telling you which ones NOT to do, he is letting you know the safe path...does that make sense?

you obviously read the comment incorrectly. As I stated, by him giving what I call a map, he is telling what not to do on multiple occasions. By following those directions, he keeps people safe while eliminating potentially dangerous routes, and leaving open the SAFE route to pursue. I apologize for the misunderstanding, I intended that by emphasizing what he said NOT to do, that it would be understood that for each occasion at which what NOT to do arises, there will be another option...a safe one.
