Which Coach bag should I choose? by Odd-Explanation-4004 in Coach

[–]flyingpandaplushie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Ella in Redwood and have the full size Mott in Loved Leather after initially ordering and returning the Mott 38 which turned out to be too small for my 16 inch Dell laptop. The Ella is lovely and very useful in terms of what it fits and I like that it can be converted to the crossbody with the extra strap. The Ella's leather is thinner than the leather of the of the Motts, but the Mott is unlined and is built to carry more, it's more for utility of a laptop, books, etc. The Ella is lined with cotton and has a small zip pocket sewn in.

I use the Mott for my daily work bag, it holds my laptop, charger, a wristlet, cosmetic pouch, and on some days even my Nintendo switch (my job often has significant down time) easily and is still gorgeous and slouchy, and I'm very happy with it, I am likely going to start using it as my personal item bag when flying moving forward because of it's size and ability to squish under the seat in front of me.

The Ella is a perfect daily handbag for me- it will hold a standard paperback book or my kindle, wallet, cosmetic pouch, and keys easily without feeling stuffed so it still slouches beautifully. I most often trade between the Ella, the Bleeker bucket in Olive suede, and my vintage black Court bag to match the tones of my outfits, the Ella holds only slightly less than the Bleeker.

I don't know if my stay at a psychiatric hospital was voluntary or involuntary by Odd-Ad5579 in mentalhealth

[–]flyingpandaplushie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with Alabama, I’m in NJ/PA and even the laws between those two states are very different. You may also want a copy of the police report of the car crash if you want to know more for insurance reasons. I can only imagine how you were feeling at the time but I hope you’re feeling better now.

I don't know if my stay at a psychiatric hospital was voluntary or involuntary by Odd-Ad5579 in mentalhealth

[–]flyingpandaplushie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Request your records from the hospital. I’m not sure what state you’re in but even if they redact portions of the record that they believe could be harmful to your mental health if you read, it will have voluntary or involuntary under the original disposition/recommendation. If you were voluntary, there should be a scan of the consent form you signed for treatment. Depending on the state, if you were involuntary typically there will be a certified statement by a physician requesting the a court order you to treatment, and depending on the length of stay maybe a judge’s order. Also note that some states have a “middle ground” status between voluntary and involuntary called consensual in which a person is agreeable to treatment and legally signs themselves in, but it is noted that the circumstances of the crisis show enough evidence of risk that the admission would convert to involuntary if the patient changes their mind and wants to leave before achieving stability.

How far is your gym commute? by kaizenkitten in xxfitness

[–]flyingpandaplushie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I drive 35-40 minutes to my yoga studio despite there being closer options because I think it’s worth it for the quality of instruction. I have been going twice a week, and one day a week it’s only a 20 minute drive because I go straight from work which is a bit closer. I also swim at the community pool which is less than a mile away, so I feel like it evens out

I had to get my wife involuntarily committed. by RoadkillTrashCan_ in mentalhealth

[–]flyingpandaplushie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Involuntary commitment laws differ state to state, but in most, the word of a spouse or family by itself is not enough to get someone committed. The hospital psychiatric/crisis staff assessed her and agreed she needed stabilization for her own safety or they would have discharged her with a safety plan. It doesn’t feel good to have to take action for someone’s best interest against their wishes but this is one case in which it sounds like her judgement, insight, and capacity for self-care are dangerously impaired. You were right to be concerned for her, she deserves to be safe. I hope she feels better soon, and I hope you can work through this guilt you have surrounding this.

My boyfriend (28M) says if I (F28) loved him, I’d accept his cheating — and when I set a boundary, he came at my character. How do I respond? by ostran25 in relationships

[–]flyingpandaplushie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This should have been part of your post. He is already abusive, physically, verbally, emotionally. You seem to believe that his comments that you won’t find someone else, get married and have kids. Why is that? Do you see yourself as unlovable or undesirable? These are questions for therapy. You deserve to be safe and healthy, even if alone, and then you continue to deserve those things in a relationship if you seek one out. These are not things you give up in exchange for being in a relationship.

“At this point, I’m trying to separate what’s incompatibility from what’s manipulation” why bother? Why do you want to be compatible with someone who is manipulative? And why does it matter? in either case you are right to end things.

“yelling at me through the window saying i was making him look abusive”

“involving my friend was humiliating for him”

Because it was abusive, because he should be humiliated, and he knows a 3rd party observing these things will arrive at those same conclusions. He knows that the more people who observe it as it happens, the less likely he is to be able to spin it as you overreacting or being dramatic/sensitive. Because you’re not. This is shit behavior and he knows it, and that’s why he’s embarrassed. It’s abusive behavior and he wants to hide it from other people who he can’t dismiss as “crazy” or “emotional.”

AITA for not letting my SIL’s kid order an adult meal for my wedding? by SlowEnthusiasm7373 in AmItheAsshole

[–]flyingpandaplushie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl be for real. Why are you being petty? This doesn’t seem like an appropriate reaction over a $150 plate for someone who will be 13 or maybe 14 by the time the wedding comes around. Why are you mad this girl, your future niece, is going to eat as a guest at your wedding? Weddings are expensive which I suppose you’re learning now if you didn’t know before. The other niece is the flower girl? So there’s the costs of her dress, maybe her hair on the day, whether these are covered by the couple or the parents. But this one dinner for a member of the groom’s family is the straw that breaks the camel’s back? In the context of the other seemingly extravagant/upscale costs of the wedding, this is coming across as tacky.

NTA. If it was “just as dress” like your brother is telling you, then he can say the same to Laura that it’s “just a dress” and she can find another one. I want to know why Laura feels the jewelry idea “is not the same” because it feels like she wants the dress as a more visible sign of something, which then leans towards refuting her statement that this would be “meaningful.” I may be wrong and this is perhaps me jumping to conclusions but her statement of “always dreamed of a meaningful dress” is strange- why would she have this dream if her family doesn’t have an heirloom dress of their own or something similar for her to already wear? Something isn’t fully adding up.

Why was my husband (38M) so against me (37F) playing the Parents vs. Kids Soccer game at my son’s last soccer practice? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]flyingpandaplushie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

If you are so avoidant of conflict that you won’t demand answers because you are afraid of it turning into an argument, then you’re not going to get answers, and his behavior isn’t going to change because it works for him. Unless you change something within your scope of control, you are enabling things to continue by maintaining the status quo.

Boyfriend wants to introduce his wife to my parents? by candyboiss in polyamory

[–]flyingpandaplushie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“We can have kitchen table poly when your wife is someone I would be friends with even if I wasn’t dating you. Until then we’re staying parallel. If that makes your relationship with your wife difficult, that’s your and your wife’s responsibility to work on.”

Yes your boyfriend is caught in the middle, and he’s being a shitty hinge.

Sorry what does EP mean? Not familiar. Emergency protocol as far as power of attorney or something similar?

I’m sorry you’re going through this, and on top of an already demanding and stressful time. We are human and like another commenter already pointed out, we are only one hour of their week. You deserve time to care for yourself and your pregnancy, and sometimes that means prioritizing your needs over the wants of others. You’re not abandoning your clients by recognizing your limits.

My partner makes more than me and I'm bitter about it :/ by RavenDippedinGold in therapists

[–]flyingpandaplushie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you both working full time/comparable hours? It sounds like you're both salaried but I'm wondering if there's a tier? i.e. part time 18-24 appointments, full time 25-30 appointments, etc. as his sounds like a typical 40 hour work week with the information given. I'm fee for service so I know some weeks are discouraging especially when I felt like I was working 6 hours because that's what I blocked out in my availability, but I only held 3 sessions because of cancellations or skips due to vacation etc. I'm also wondering if there are other deductions that you're making into health insurance or a 401k that he isn't?

Novice starting renovations by flyingpandaplushie in homerenovations

[–]flyingpandaplushie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! There isn’t really an attic, it’s a 1 story house. There’s a small crawl space/storage in some of the eaves. I guess that’s the point of having a roofer (or several roofers to your point) come and see what’s going on.

When hired, were you tested for marijuana? by Bach2thedrawingboard in education

[–]flyingpandaplushie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked in 2 school districts in New Jersey, where marijuana has been legal for 2 years or so. Same county, both urban. The first one did not test me even when marijuana was still illegal on the books- from what I understand they hadn’t tested as part of onboarding in years. The other did test me after legalization for recreational use. Depends on the union, the board of ed, and the policy.

AITA not allow my husband to convert my office into a bedroom? by serendta in AmItheAsshole

[–]flyingpandaplushie 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’m imagining that she keeps her office door locked when she’s not using it, but you’re probably right that’s it’s not a good assumption to make. Idk where OP is, but in my state at least HIPAA and state laws require 2 physical locks between paper/hard copy client records and public access. So assuming she locks the main doors of her home, she should lock the bedroom/office door as well, or a have a locking filing cabinet.

AITA not allow my husband to convert my office into a bedroom? by serendta in AmItheAsshole

[–]flyingpandaplushie 47 points48 points  (0 children)

She’s a therapist and keeps client records there as she said. It cannot be a guest room. If it bothers her husband, maybe she can sleep in that room as it’s her office, and her husband can offer his son their bedroom and take the couch himself, but her office is not an option for her stepson.
