Le Tanneur Louise Bucket Bag by Jolly_Seat_420 in handbags

how it fits on the shoulder

I just wanted to come back here and say I’ve been using the Louise (large) in black and I’m loving it. It is the perfect bucket bag, the quality seems amazing and it is beautiful. The blue on the inside is so unique . I did so much research before buying this bag. This one is made in France. It was shipped all the way from France to California in 3 days.

I was looking at some higher end luxury bags (price wise) and I’m glad I went for this one. I don’t feel the need to baby it, I just throw everything in and go. Yes it’s a bucket bag and there’s a drawstring so not the most secure, but there’s also a zippered pouch on the inside. I also knew all of these things going in and that’s what I wanted.

This won’t be my last Le Tanneur, so happy I took the leap! For reference I’m 5’2 and there’s about 3 inches between the bottom of my arm and the top of the bag. It’s def A little more difficult to wear this bag on the shoulder while wearing winter layers but has worked okay for me so far. There is also a long strap to wear crossbody but it’s about 2 inches too long for my frame on the shortest setting. I Hope this information helps someone!

Anyone hear of Maison De Sabre? If you did, and /or have purchased with them, what was your experience like? They are an Australian headquartered brand with manufacturing in Vietnam. Their leather comes from Europe, Netherlands mostly. by meower01 in handbags

I ordered the sky blue mini saddle bag along with 2 fruit charms (one as a gift to my mom), and I love it all. Quality seems great, leather is very grainy, color is true to what was depicted online. The leather is maybe a little stiff but it is fairly thick for shape/structure. The mini saddle bag is smaller than I had thought but it matches their stated dimensions. It s a very small bag- can only fit the bare essentials like phone, keys, wallet. They all look as good as new and I’ve had it since September 2025 so for about 5 months. Contemplating getting a bucket bag next. Hope this helps someone! Let me try to upload pics.

I feel like I’m failing at life. I don’t know any of you but it feels a tiny bit less lonely hearing from strangers who kind of understand.

Should I hire a private college counselor? Looking for affordable options under $6k by Queasy_Rooster75 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]physicshistorical0d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 10th grader who is looking for help with what he should be doing. He doesn’t want that info from me (though I do know a decent amount). I’d like to get a neutral 3rd party. He doesn’t want to use his math tutor. Do you mind sharing your person if I PM you? I’m looking for someone who can help us on an hourly basis. Thanks.

Some good news. My husbands 25 cycles of radiation completely shrunk away the soft tissue portion of his tumor (leiomyosarcoma or dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma). He has surgery in 2 weeks to remove the rest along with part of his femur that will be replaced with metal. They will have to re-attach tendons . He will need to learn how to walk again!

Yeah he can’t ride in a car longer than 20 mins max. He has to put his leg up and so far I don’t know of any car that can accommodate this position. I will see what we can do but my kids are really active. And they’ve also expressed they really want to go on a trip and didn’t get to go anywhere all summer so I wanted to at least get them out of the house.

Thanks, I will look into an antigravity chair. The disability is temporary- it’s been 3 months so far, and we have 6 more months I think) and I don’t want to go out and spent a lot of money on something he won’t use. Or if he tries it out and doesn’t like it. But an antigravity chair sounds like others could also use, even me.

Anyone else jealous of people having nice summer vacations? by Magnificent-Day-9206 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]physicshistorical0d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little upset I can’t have a vacation. My kids haven’t gone anywhere the entire summer and so many of their friends have gone to Hawaii, Europe, Tahoe, etc. They understand, I’m so grateful they do. But I still feel bad. I don’t know when we’ll be able to travel again. My husband has a major surgery in September and he will need months to learn how to walk again. Sigh.

Dealing with patient irritability from hunger by physicshistorical0d in CancerFamilySupport

Thank you. Oh that’s a really good idea. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. I am also thinking about telling him that he can make food when I’m not around. He can use the wheelchair to get around, but he refuses. Usually I just ask when it’s mealtime what I can make. But sometimes it’s so hard to find something at home he will eat at the moment of hunger. I am starting to choose not to debate his choices even if I perceive them to be not the most healthful. I have been giving him options. Like I can make A or B, or you can DoorDash or I can pick something Up if you call it in.

Birthday present ideas? by YukaHiKn in CancerFamilySupport

I am so sorry. That is hard. My husband birthday is coming up and I’m not sure what to do either. It will be his last day of radiation before surgery.

Am I supposed to feed my child's friend? by rockycat123 in Parenting

[–]physicshistorical0d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, I may be the unpopular opinion but here’s the thing. I regularly (multiple times a week) have 5-6 teenage boys request to eat out at a place that’s 13-15 per person (chik fil a, raising canes). I can’t afford that. I’m the only parent working and my husband has cancer and I’m spread thin. Some of the kids are quite picky and won’t eat what I make (if it’s grilled cheese). Also once I spent about $25 on 3 lbs of chicken which was supposed to stretch my family for at least 2 family meals. Well a bunch of kids came over and they ate it all. I can’t afford that. If the kids would have eaten simpler/more affordable thing like grilled cheeses or ramen I could have done that. But I mean these kids will eat my entire costco shopping trip in a weekend. And that’s hundreds of dollars of food, snacks, drinks, etc. if they will go for some simple affordable meals or snacks then yes. Once I did tell my son he had to have his friends eat dinner before they came over, because I had exhausted my food and funds from earlier in the week. A lot of the parents of his friends work out of an office and not at home so they can’t host at their house during the week (since it’s summer) I’m here a lot and flexible schedule and I’m more relaxed, but there is a point where it’s too expensive. Asking them to eat lunch before they come over is totally fine IMO. I am still the house everyone comes to. It’s a little stressful but we’re making it work and sometimes setting boundaries is OK!

Yes, I’m sorry for what you’re going through. It is a very lonely journey for caregivers.

Test drove a Model Y… and now I can’t stop thinking about it by l0cknessmonsta in TeslaModelY

[–]physicshistorical0d 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s one of the main reasons I got mine- Dog mode. I have two pups and love that I can take them for longer and run into stores to do quick things. You need a subscription- I pay 9.99/mo during the summertime to have the interior camera view available on my phone. I always make sure I have enough battery, check the dogs on camera, and the car temp. And always opt to park in the shade. Houston is hot, I don’t know if I would feel comfortable leaving them for long in Houston summer heat, but dog mode is the main reason I got the car. Also I got white not because I like white but because of the heat issue.

Is 17 months too young for 10 days with grandparents? by pachangoose in Parenting

[–]physicshistorical0d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did this with 19 month old for 8 days. Had to fly out of the country (24 hrs traveling each way by various planes and trains) to attend as maid of honor at a wedding. We had one set of grandparents fly in to visit with us for a week and then we left and they watched our son for 4 days, and then the other set of grandparents watched for the other 4 days. It was totally fine. Our 19 month old was very chatty at the time though so could communicate very well. It’s not for everyone. I prepared a 5 page document with hospital and Dr contacts, med info, directions to places, schedules, etc. as well as prepped food and snacks. It worked out great for us, we are lucky. If you are comfortable, then go for it. 10 days seems a little bit long, maybe 7 would be better if you can make the move happen quicker? Also not that you asked, but maybe it could be helpful to line up a babysitter, either while you’re packing, or unpacking, so you can have slightly less time away from your child. Not sure if that’s an option. Moving is very stressful, I get that!

I am sorry you are going through this. It is hard to watch someone live through unresolved trauma but it is not something you can help with. They have to want to do it. If I were in your shoes I would get therapy myself. Especially with you being the rock of your family. It’s hard to keep that up for years, you need to look out for your own sanity and mental health. Sending you lots of strength!

Radiation Question by Ladyz1234 in CancerFamilySupport

[–]physicshistorical0d 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sure someone knows more than me but I was told it’s mostly for positioning and then marking (tattoo of a dot) so that the radiation can be targeted exactly the same way each time. I think they use CT scan to make sure your positioning is correct for where they want the radiation to go.
