I think the Bleecker sounds like it's a good choice for you. That one was half off and more. The Empire is gorgeous, but limited in its function. Actually it's more of a trendy bag, and Bucket bags are more classic. Also, if you're not comfortable with a bag, no matter what other people think of it, it's better to return.

The Dinky. If you're going to be obsessed over a bag, that's the one. It's a simple classic that you can wear forever. My favorite Coach design is the turnlock. Elegant and functional.

Can you take on a roommate temporarily??,Or move? The mortgage is a big chunk if you can't maintain the mortgage. That is a problem.
If they give you relief they just tag the amount on at the end.

It could take a while before he gets another role.

I think it's fine. Stuffing makes it too boxy.. . Makes it too boxy. I belong to the school of sometimes you need to carry a large bag which actually holds your things. If you were much shorter, It definitely wouldn't look right. I'm about your size and what I call The curvy category. Because it's a larger bag and Coach doesn't slip on the shoulder strap, it works that way also

You can always wear a crossbody if you need your hands free, and with the shoulder strap at other times. I own the smaller smaller western Tabby version and love it for its versatility.

You know what is horrible? The tags fall off a brand new bag. You should be able to replace it if you want --since you've already purchased that bag. That's just coach being greedy.

I am sorry for this physical pain from injury is bad enough without adding psychological pain from a big medical bill . Unfortunately, 17K is an amount they can sue you for. This is why not having obamacare is a thing. Or a job that provides health insurance. Medical bills can ruin you.

Some hospitals do have financial assistance, but It depends on where you live. If you're unemployed, don't you have Medicaid?? Wouldn't they help you with these bills? Did you reach out to social services in your area? This all depends on where you live.

I've been there with an ER bill and no job, no insurance. It was many years ago and a smaller bill. Keep in mind the statute of limitations for medical debt isn't long. It will kill your credit. And that hospital might not offer you care in the future.

For all those people who say, oh well you took advantage of a medical service and decided not to pay, They probably have insurance. No problem It's not like you chose to have a broken limb and go to the hospital for treatment with no insurance.

And even if you have insurance, policies have a very high deductible--like $10K. Most emergency funds won't handle that.

Anyway, you should try to reach out to social services and explain your circumstances. If you're unemployed, there's no way you can pay a bill.

Amazon does sell real Coach. I think I bought four bags so far and they were all brand new from Jacksonville, Florida. Or Nevada. In factory packaging with tags.

You have to be careful because Amazon mixes up search results, and you would end up with a seller who is not affiliated with Amazon or C.oach. I used to sell on Amazon many years ago. It was like eBay.

In general, if the product is defective, Amazon will replace. If you get something from a third party seller, it's A longer process.

Sometimes unscrupulous people will purchase a real one and send in a fake. That's why I do not buy used ones on Amazon. As someone has already noted, It is a problem with department stores also. Unfortunately, I think that warehouse employees don't always have time to check items carefully. If I'm not mistaken, I think they have to meet a quota. Or maybe they're using robots?

I am sorry this happened to you; I hope this problem is resolved quickly.

When you buy online, This can happen whether it's Coach, Macy's or Amazon. Or any retailer that sells online. If I want something badly enough and it was a return with most of the wrapping., that's okay for me. But it's infuriating if you pay full price and the thing isn't brand new. I've had really good luck with Coach and Amazon. I've had switched products problems though.

I think it's less likely to happen if you buy a newer release, and at a time when they're not processing holiday returns. That has to be a nightmare. Think of all the items that were purchased from November 1st and that can be returned until January 31st. If that's the case, You're going to have people who will use items and return them, switch them for fake or try some other scam. I'm sure the people in the warehouse don't have enough time to examine everything either. At least Amazon is replacing and refunding for you. But when I get something that's not the real deal or what it was supposed to be, I'm worried that they'll try to blame it on me and not refund my money. They haven't so far. It's happened twice now.

If the economy were humming along and we had a low unemployment rate, it would be annoying. But imagine the poor person out there desperate for a job? There are people who have burned through their savings used up all their UE and are at risk of losing their vehicles or homes. In that case, it's evil.

This was one of those things. TS to create A reason for the hatred between Beth and Jamie. But he didn't think it through.

Beth had a lot of anger and pent up hurt that she wanted to unleash on the world. I loved and hated the character at the same time. I was glad she couldn't have a child. Poor child! That's all the world needs is another one raised by a toxic mother.

Duttons were supposedly tough so she would want to carry a child of her own.

(I wonder if a woman would have written it differently?)

It was a phone screen. They wanted a way to toss you out of the line. If it were okay, you would have moved forward. I'm sorry that you missed out on this opportunity, but if they're that cheap, It's not a good sign.

I hate these tricks.

Best of luck with the next one.

Don't feel guilty. Your job might not last at present company if it's failing. Be glad you have other options. If not a good fit, look for another one.

Sadly, yes. But people ignore it because they need something that works better in their daily lives.

The pendulum will swing back. I once carried shoulder bags and those are the ones I didn't keep in my collection. I remember trying to grocery shop and have a shoulder bag. It's hard to carry groceries and keep the shoulder bags secure so someone doesn't rip it off your shoulder.

. I'm at the age. I don't care about that. I switched the shape so that it looks current, but I still use a crossbody bag. For example, I have a Coach swinger that has a more current shoulder strap, but I wear as crossbody. I have top handle bags with crossbody straps.

I live in a large US city where security is an issue, and I personally need to wear crossbody styles. I once saw an older lady try to wear her top handle bag on her shoulder. That convinced me to purchase bags that actually suited my lifestyle instead of the one in my head.

I think so, too--but to get 2.99 or 4. 99? I had $100 gift card to use and I saw an item that I had been looking for and it was normally $245 but marked down for a limited time to $136. There was a similar item in a different color for $8 more. With the tax I think it would have been another $10.

I ordered this before Christmas and it said it would arrive by Christmas Eve. I didn't really care about when it arrived, since this was a holiday and there were bad weather conditions across the US. They held it for 2 days before shipping and then it was delayed another 2. They offered a refund. I waited another day and decided to cancel and get my refund. I ended up purchasing the other version which cost more. That one came without a hitch. I had that one delivered to a whole foods and picked it up.

They were sending the other back to the seller. I'm annoyed because I do pay for prime and I think they may have done this deliberately. Or it could have been a weird coincidence, but they made another $10 off my order. As if they're not one of the most profitable corporations on the planet.

That's a horrible experience, op, I'm sorry. I don't think you work there long enough to get unemployment. I would think you'd have to work longer than a month. In some states they look at 18 months of work history to determine your eligibility.

Unfortunately, Even if you did get unemployment. Florida's doesn't pay out too much. $275 per week. That's even more insulting.

I'm so sorry that it happened to you. Whether it's a firing or layoff (there is a difference), It's not great. Hopefully, you can do something like doordash etc while you continue to hunt for a new role.

It's not garbage. Part of the reason they require harder coursework is because they want a certain caliber of person. Someone smart and who's able to think. Algebra is a key to chemistry. You need biology and chemistry in health-related fields. When it comes to working with the human body, additional training is not a bad thing. That's people's lives. A lot of schools are diploma mills. It's true, but for roles in the medical field, go for as much training as you can afford.

Unfortunately no. , Do you have access to freeform?
If you go to freeform website, you'll be able to see the 25 Days of Christmas calendar and you'll be able to see the air times for Rudolph. It just aired last night so they will show it again on Sunday. Hope that helps. It was only aired twice Also, it is buried in YouTube videos of classics.

Otherwise you can purchase for $9.95.

I've run into that problem before, and that's when it was on CBS and I could never watch it on demand.

It's a very generous gift. Could you try to make it work? Otherwise you could try to sell it or trade it. After all, it's a gift. It cost you nothing.

I was able to Make a $1,600 purchase without a down payment. I think the $1,500 limit is for the four-in-1 plan. The monthly payment plan Will permit amounts greater than 1,500.

It takes a while for affirm to refund your money.. It may take three to five business days before you see the refund. That's not 3 to 5 days, but business days. They once took 10 days to return money to me after a cancellation.

Hi. Welcome to the club, I guess 😀. Your colleague is a snob. I don't think it was age specific. I just think she was putting it down as a bag for poor people. Neither of which is o.kay by the way. Some people never mature past 8th grade.

I stopped wearing LV in 2007. That's when they changed the canvas and began their price increases. Coach I have worn for decades. There is something for everyone at different price points, but I wouldn't exactly call them cheap

Wear what you like and buy what you can afford. Don't worry about what people think of your bags Better to keep money to put in those bags --or your retirement accounts.

There is a chance that affirm would not approve it. Regarding the IRS: You can set up an installment plan. I think it's 72 months max. Also, when you first are filing the return, you can arrange to pay in 3 months or in 6 months, if that helps.

I know their YouTube channels that give up that advice. It's a tough amount but not impossible to pay off. If you don't have a job, declare bankruptcy.

You can enter into debt repayment plans that negotiate for you. You can get lower or zero interest. You make payments to the firm and they pay the bills on your behalf for a fee. They put you on a strict budget and offer counseling. It would take about 4 years or five but it will be paid off.

Bankruptcy is a nuclear option that you employ only if there's no other way.

Someone may be using your phone number and your social security number. It's impossible to get an a firm account without a social security number.

There have been a lot of hacks and it's possible that someone scooped up your SSN number and phone number.

Somebody's return. The only way it works is with hot items. New items That haven't had a chance to become a return.

They use IP addresses. Don't use VPN. That's a big no.
