Hermes Cafe Bon Temps~Good Times Cafe

[CapriTrotteur]

Coach was gorgeous back in the day. I perused the Coach site yesterday. That dinosaur bag, a "space Rexy" is my latest "I want that." I love dopey looking things like that. I tell myself I have enough bags but . . . I don't have a Space Rexy. Fortunately, the fall HS don't particularly appeal to me, so maybe I can get a space Rexy.

Am bummed out b/c I have to get a new crown. It's not due to decay, I rigorously brush & floss often 2x/day. It's because food catches in between two back teeth, evidently the margins of the existing crown don't extend far enough down. (How long ago I got this crown, I don't know, it's been a while and this food issue has just started happening).
I cannot guarantee that i will keep the area so clean; what if I have a migraine and don't want to be bothered with anything? When I had a knee replacement I was in the hospital for 4 days and didn't brush once. That was a really dumb mistake. I really paid for that mistake. So now I am trying to be much more diligent.

Hi eagle sorry to hear of your dental issues.
Hope you can get it sorted soon.
Maybe Rexy will cheer you up along the way.

It's silly but very difficult isn't it? Thank god I don't have children. Imagine the stress. [emoji23] Eli is 6 lbs of pure stubbornness. He has to have everything just so and if he's not happy he will go on a hunger strike.

I thought about bringing the little guy with me. But he would be stuck in a strange hotel room for long days. And in Paris I would have to carry him a lot. I wonder how much 10 miles human translates to in chihuahua distances.

Our fur babies. What they give us far exceeds the stress they cause.

Hey Ppup
Would it make your trip better to have him with you or would it be worse?
Carrying him could be a good workout for you.

 

[CapriTrotteur]

Heehee. I wish I could manage a hunger strike.

This week I achieved a big milestone. I'm completely back to my regular workouts after that little health hurdle I had in the spring. Yay! No weight loss but at least I feel well again.

Congrats on achieving this milestone.
It can be so difficult to be motivated to regularly work out when you are busy.
Also so pleased you are feeling well again.

A friendly reminder: this thread is meant for light hearted, fun discussion. It was created as an alternative to the Hermes Chat thread, where a broader range of topics is discussed. From the first post in this thread:

As you know, this is an additional Chat thread format in Hermes to provide a place for pure fun and frivolity without taking away or in any way limiting the camaraderie and friendships that have formed in Hermes Chat as people help one another through life's challenges and even its crises.

The intent of this thread is that it stay a light, fun escape from some of the trials of life.

If you are having health, wardrobe, or pet problems, there are fantastic forums/threads for just these topics. But please - if members could kindly keep this thread as the cheerier spot it was intended when it was created, others would appreciate it. Thanks. PM me if you have any questions.

I'm sorry mistikat. I don't see what was negative in any of our discussions. We often ask each other for wardrobe advice. We laughed about pet antics and someone asked for hotel recommendations in New York. I'm confused.

The subject matter is just not in keeping with why the thread was created. And there are many other options for discussing these issues, as I've noted above.

I am just thinking, perhaps the Dior fiasco could be posted in the Dior section or wardrobe section instead?

This is adorable. I thought baby swans (Cygnets?) were supposed to be ugly?

They are supposed to, yes. I think it's to do with the grey feather as opposed to mama and daddy's white coat. But I think they are so cute! I wonder what chicks of black swan look like?

Happy to do that. It's just an alterations thing. It's not life or death and I didn't think it would bring the cafe mood down. You will see that when other people became outraged for me I just liked their posts and tried not to belabor it. Sorry if I offended you. I don't see it as any more negative than home renovations which several people have described. But I'll take it elsewhere. Again I apologize.

 

[chicinthecity777]

So adorable! Sorry about the swans! What do they want that your pond can't offer?!! I remember when you had it cleaned, and I imagine it's gorgeous and picturesque. Fun that you have ducks, though, and likely ducklings.

Apparently there needs to be large flat surface around the pound to allow swans to depart and land, and a lot of grass around it to allow them to hatch. Our pond is quite deep but it is not flat around it. It has large rocks and trees instead of grass. I wish we could keep ducks but there is no guarantee they will stay.

No you didn't offend me. It was just a suggestion based on what Mistikat posted. No intention to offend you either.

Thanks for remembering my reno, which has now been completed and is really wonderful. We couldn't be happier with it.

Hi Dharma we have just watched a documentary on Japan on BBC4,which may be available on the iPlayer.
It was called the Art of Japanese Life by Dr James Fox I think and whilst predominantly about art it was very interesting about Japan in general.
Might be worth a watch if you are considering Japan as a destination.

Thank you CapriTrotter! We will check it out. Right now we are leaning toward Japan over Spain. I'm doing preliminary research to get an idea of the expenses involved in each to compare. We are very excited even though it's 11 months away! I also looked more thoroughly into flight times and Japan is only a little over 12 hours, not 18. Big difference. Especially if we can manage to sleep through about 6 of them.

 

[EmileH]

That doesn't sound too bad for flight times at all. The flights from Boston to Europe are only about 6 hours. I kind of wish they could circle for another hour or two so I could get more sleep before we land. Anyway, that's exciting. It's always fun to have a trip to anticipate.

Okay, coming out of lurkdom to post something fun that only H lovers would understand... excuse my fan girl moment!


Benoit Pierre Emery not only liked my posts but he also commented on one of it! I love all his scarf designs and am just since last night when he liked and commented on my posts. Okay, I will retreat and go back into lurkdom now.
