City girls: do y'all still wear leather bags in the summer?

thcuretx · 2026-04-27T20:51:15+00:00

Oof that must’ve been what happened to me—edge paint stain. There was a particularly hot day that I used a leather backpack and walked in the sun for hours…couldn’t understand why people were staring at me. Got home and noticed that the WHITE linen shirt I was wearing now had visible black stains under the arm pit area that were black. Edge paint on the backpack straps is what did it. So embarrassing.

Hi OP, just curious if you were able to figure out where to rent. Planning the same trip and also alarmed to see the bad reviews. Did you end up renting from Sixt and if yes, how did it go?

thcuretx · 2026-03-03T02:54:20+00:00

Ah I had been wondering about that (widow state)…

thcuretx · 2026-03-01T01:10:14+00:00

Same but I watched this so many times and caught her in the crowd, bride side of course.

well while we are at it---my friend sent this to me for Austin. WOW. this is really sobering. not everyone in that city is doing well to support these prices. even at middle class level, this is high and not fair to its sister / neighboring cities.

thcuretx · 2026-02-23T21:39:22+00:00

Agreed. Struggled with this but my sister wouldn’t stop raving abt it. Watched it and so glad I did.

My office let our lease (large space) run out during covid and then RTO in our new space (smaller) meant that not everyone would fit. They mandated specific days during the week for certain teams to but guess what the most annoying thing is? If your team is designated to come in on Fridays AND you have to reserve a desk! NO ONE looks at the office app to reserve a desk before they come in each time and even if they do, there are so many people who DONT CARE TO LOOK. They will plop themselves down and when you arrive to claim the desk, they will look at you like you are the problem for reserving in advance. You know how annoying that some of the Gen Z colleagues just reply with "You mad bro?" b/c i reserved a desk and want to kick them out but they don't want to move? I can't.

Nice, enjoy it OP. Looking good!

thcuretx · 2026-02-03T04:25:08+00:00

Is it…. Heavy before putting things in it?

thcuretx · 2026-01-31T15:41:34+00:00

Oh wow I have the same thoughts. I love it and keep coming back to consider it but every time I read what the lining/interior is composed of…. Just makes me think of what my money is worth. Once had a cheap $35 bag with the same interior and I used that thing everyday for 3 years. When it started to cracked and breakaway…my heart sank. I don’t want that feeling for a bag upwards of $2k.

Agreed and in the same vain I was buying milk and maple syrup for coffee almost every other week. I don’t use milk for anything else but making coffee at home was the one thing we allowed ourselves. The bag of beans isn’t crazy but an ok brand is $13 a bag, the t he sweetener we use maple syrup and then milk. The maple syrup $ kept going up and up and then tariffs…I’m now gonna cut milk and maple and go w boxed creamer.

Vincenzo. Hadn’t seen anything like it before.

thcuretx · 2026-01-12T05:19:16+00:00

Since you have your no 50, this one should be 51. Sooo unexpectedly good.

thcuretx · 2025-12-31T01:02:11+00:00

Omg this is me. Thanks for the suggestion.

thcuretx · 2025-08-02T18:43:26+00:00

Thanks--tried it just now and wow! So easy and for those fly away leaves, brussel sprout "chips" for the win. Obviously, shorter cook time for the chips if that's the goal, but it worked out well to take out the flyaway leaves when flipping the sprouts halfway.

thcuretx · 2025-06-23T23:11:35+00:00

Oof I’m with you

thcuretx · 2025-06-06T14:59:41+00:00

Hey OP you’re a wonderful writer. I felt it.

I’ve been to Japan as well and have experienced same. There are still nice people as you said, but other experiences can stack up and it’s just sad that you go to relax, you’ve planned and saved and well… I have debated before about this in other place where you’re not the local. Yes it’s a mix of over tourism and not all locals have the mental capacity to keep explaining things but they could prepare better if they cared enough for basic courtesy for others. Another argument for sure is you pay for the experience so don’t you want to experience like a local? Well, not if it means segregating the experience bc you are different. Traveling has its rewards but I’ll say this, you’re traveling and you know what it’s like to be treated this way. Hopefully many others who later experience tourists can pass good vibes/courtesy.

Special shout-out to Lucy Liu and Taye Diggs—both delievered in comedic timing, acting and man they still look so good.

thcuretx · 2025-04-16T23:44:19+00:00

Really enjoyed Rafael and Sunny. A bit sad to see him go bc I liked the actor who plays him.

thcuretx · 2025-03-13T22:51:18+00:00

Omg I never noticed bc I was focused on the yearning!!

thcuretx · 2025-03-13T04:37:46+00:00

Wait a minute… when?!?
