Ahoy polloi (an island for the masses)

Ooooh... just look at the gloss on that leather!

I use this on my campomaggi:
https://www.marcopoloni.com/The-Best-Leather-Cream.htm
Its distressed leather dislikes collonil gel. Freaky thing.

- at least two different shades of brown (caramel, beige, chocolate) and one brown suede bag
- probably something in lilac/purple

Your estimate of # brown tones is waaaaay too low, my friend.
Aw, purple.

Wanted to add to the weight issue - I always hope that carrying heavy bags makes my arms/back/shoulders stronger. Like going to the gym. So, it would become easier to carry heavy bags. But, nope. Nothing like this ever happens. Unfair. [emoji58]

Burdens rarely become less burdensome.
Even when we spin them with pretty lies to ourselves.
And yet, I also carry heavy bags.

Welllllllll... I'm married to the perfect man. Have been for over 38 years. And I'm not tired of him. Not in the least. But I won't deny that when I saw the post of the "three buff Santa dudes" I for sure looked! In fact, I switched to my computer glasses so that I could see them in better focus!

Oooooooh! Interesting idea for comparison.
Am remembering every single time I patted another dog. Near my dog.
And his hurt death stare result.

Imagine man would feel similar. If I patted another man & said, "You have such silly ears! Yes you do!" Or whatnot.

But, my bags are chill. I can fondle & squeeze other bags all week--no response from the collection. No deathly hurt. Zip.

Perhaps my bags feel less commited to me?!
Flirtatious scamps.
Or have extreme self-confidence in their own fine-a$$ leatheriness?
Jerks.

My answer is yes! We would still look for another one....

Distressed leather bags dislike collonil?! [emoji15] This. Is. Alarming. [emoji23]

Hahaha. Did you see? I wrote "two" brown tones followed by already 4 different brown tones. [emoji23] One cannot have enough brown bags. Even of the perfect one. [emoji6]

Hm. I really hoped pretty lies might help to make Ms Marcie lighter. Or at least myself stronger. [emoji3]

Hehehe. You never know if bags in their dustbags are sending death stares your way. [emoji3] Hehehe. Silly ears. [emoji23]

This is called "art appreciation".
Just like in a museum you can look but no touch. [emoji41]

Exactly! No harm in looking! And appreciating!!!

Yup.
Plus they are way young.
I don't want to hear "Thanks Mrs Smith".

Oh, Lordy. Too true.
I still remember the first time a young cashier called me "Ma'am" when I was in line at the supermarket. I wanted to cry... or smack him!

So very true.
In most instances I prefer the respect.
Not much worse than a 20 year old bimbette who try's to call you by your first name. Or "honey".
But it's a bit different with hot guys.
"Ma'am" ruins the fantasy.

 

[Murphy47]

Gotta love spell check. You would think Apple would have some grammar.
I don't think I've ever seen "try's" before. Didn't know you could make a verb possessive. Argh.

Very true.
I love progress and technologies.
The stuff that has been invented since I was in school is just amazing. And I am very into my "toys" from Apple.
Bad grammar I just can't stand.
Or a salesperson who needs a computer to give you the correct change for 2.80 when you give them 3.00. Seriously. I had to tell the girl it was .20!!!

This. Is. Alarming.

It looks dull & matte. Well, my campomaggi does.
The other product has bit of wax. To highlight all the ripples & distressing nicely.
But, its oils also darken leather for a time--so not used on my fancy-pants bags.

OMG, your entire rainbow of brown tones--
Perfect.

Last time I had this issue, was told such things now were called "cashier's math." And he hadn't studied that yet in school.


I loved how NZ prices would be $19.99.
But there exists no penny/$.01 coin.
So, cashiers confided, as I stood there waiting for change, "It really means $20."

And all those extra pennies add up. Sneaky.

Same in France, except that we have €/01 coins.....
It's always, 18.99 or even 9999,90....

I love high tech too....
If I didn't love bags as much.... I would spend a lot of money on what you call those irresistible "Apple toys"
