very cool, Irainei! I love New York City but hate the Yankees, but I will just take this in stride since it is a really cute name! And great idea to look online and look at reviews. I can imagine strolling through a store can be overwhelming.

Had to share the weird goofy thing that just happened! It's crunch time here for a lot of stuff, including tracking classmates for reunion. Well, guess what? Someone else found a friend of mine living 10 minutes from where I work. LMAO! I called and talked with his wife, who was so not jealous sounding (calling guy classmates has gotten some odd reactions from a few SO's)...she sounded so cool. I'm hopeful for a prereunion reunion!

OMG 4 pages since yesterday....I am never going to catch up *speed reading and shaking my head*

NBL...I hate to say this but a co worker stayed there and he said it was ubelievablel as the roller coaster ran right out side his door. Kids yelling and screaming kept him up. Also not to mention the giant clown he has to run into everytime he came back to his room after having a few cocktails....

Crazy weather! It is thundering and lightning like crazy and pouring, w/ HAIL. I heard pops against the windows and roof and it is flipping hail in FL! I have had power go out 2 times already so far.

Oh, and my main lawn mower broke again. The stupid pull cord is out again. That thing is awful- for $400 it is have been awful. I end up mowing w/ the cheap $30 mower that is probably 15 yrs old all the time.

Totally evil, but sometimes I read the RM threads just for laughs because it always seems like it is a debacle. The online sample sale thread is just a total wth were they thinking?

Wow, I can't believe that weather. Although someone said there was hail in northern NJ somewhere earlier this week.

Sorry about the lawn mower. I delegate all the lawn stuff to my yard guy because my yard is sloped/hilly and I would probably run over my own foot or Shadow or Wally if I was doing it.

^ lol! I lurk in there and all the issues baffle me. Why do they keep buying bags if so many have problems? I don't get it at all. If I read about straps breaking, hardware breaking, feet falling off, etc., I would run for the hills before I bought anything!

I tried to log onto the sample sale to the see the prices and their site is crashed. I do like the Devote bag, but it is a rip off of the Kooba Lena to me.

See what I mean? First is Kooba, second is RM.

Yep they are pretty close to me. I don't get the devotion to crappily made products. It seems to me it is all "lowered expectations".

I am proud of myself!! I walked into Nordies today and didn't buy a bag. I had to return something and checked out the sale tables, but didn't buy a thing. they had some gorgeous blue python Givenchy bags, but between the ostrich BE and the python Choo I have coming, I think I am set for a while.

Way to go lionLaw!
See you have true will power!
Maybe the FedEX Fairy will leave a SUPRISE or SOMETHING!

So I actually did something today!
I fixed Colette's Embroidery Sewing Machine!

Hi everyone-
Interview went well in the regards of I know what to stay away from....
Horrible to say in this economy but a lot of red lights went off.
I know I want to be happy where I am going.. its hard to know in advance but...
the warning signs were everywhere.. plus some ex-workers know of the woman I'd be working with and told me to Run ,not walk, as fats as I can away from those doors...

Of course they will call me for a 2nd interview.

Hey, has anyone been handed an essay to fill out on the application on why you think you are best for the bob and short/long term goals?? For real!!

Matt- amazing, you can fix a sewing machine!

Bronx might turn out to be a popular name- Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz named their son Bronx!

Euridice- that bowler bag is 35% off right now. Go for it! LOL

Nocute- some women are so jealous and bizarre... I had a friend in JHS and HS.. found him 20 yrs later on Facebook... and 1 week later his wife made him get off FB.
He went back on like 3 weeks later but... are some people crazy? I wrote I am happily married for goodness sakes.

Thanks for the compliments on my wedding pics.

I'd love to take that mule ride..lol - but do you have to WALK back up???
