I waited over two years spending regularly and even with our new store opening I kept waiting for my black birkin. I finally went another route. I let my SA know I no longer needed it because I found it in Europe. She claimed mine had just come in that week. [emoji849] Another friend was waiting for a particular bag for over a year. She kept asking the SA every visit. When the SA was away the SM called and told the customer she was cleaning up and found the bag had been sitting in the reserve box for three months. Same SA. No longer my SA. Some SAs definitely try to calculate how much you want the bag and how far they can push it. That SA miscalculated with me because she didn't know that I like to shop abroad. Your friend outsmarted the SA. Good for her.

I totally believe you and I also think it is unreal that H wouldn't smoke out someone who treats faithful customers that way.
When I got my first K I immediately wanted another one (I was thinking along the lines of "an heir and a spare"). Like, if something happens to the one I got I don't have a backup.
I know from this forum that I am not the only person who has thought this way. Or, to put it another way: it's hard to stop at just one. Didn't your SA know that?
Some folks really shouldn't be working in retail, ever.

I totally get it, PbP. I will never live in Texas. Or visit Texas. Or, actually, talk much about Texas (but please, all, note that my aversion does not extend to any of my fellow Forum members who reside in the Lone Star state. I love you guys).
And it is true, PbP, you refrained from showing us the centipede, yet I hads ta see it. And share it. I'm rather bloody-minded that way.

The lupines are very pretty in the early spring. Saw them from a train when I was a kid.

But do lizards understand automotive transportation? Did he realize he was relocating? Or did he just see your car as a sort of large terrarium, all nice and warm, with a posh carpeted floor?
In any case, it was kind of you not to eject him at highway speeds.
Yes, the lizards probably do eat the lawn shrimp. This subject continues to gross me out in new and inventive ways. :sick:

Dyson appliances are not necessarily cheap. I asked DH to buy me a fan b/c of the way our AC vents are placed. Several years later he told me how much the Dyson cost. I was stunned. But it was some kind of fan with a large circle but with no blades. So I guess it was special.

OK, here is what i really think. The Costco where we were shopping is in a less expensive neighborhood than where we live. I think he saw a nice SUV and decided that he could move up to a better neighborhood with lush landscaping i.e. better insects to eat and a more comfortable environment, Essentially I am saying that this lizard was upwardly mobile and could be accused of being a climber and/or snob and had no problem leaving friends and family behind. He was thinking only of himself and had no regard as to how much he would be hurting the F&F. Life is tough!

The critter had gone to Costco to get the F&F discount. Think how many kids this critter has!!!!

Gosh you are so right about the cost of that fan. I looked at it and had to find a chair to sit down in. Good thing that he bought it, because if you had bought it you would still be hearing about how much it cost.

So true! You are spot on tonight, GK!!!

Well if I am hot, then it is because most of the A/C in my house is not working. The electrician who was doing the wiring for the new system managed to do something at the breaker box so now the A/C for the kitchen area on the other side of the house is not working. Oy!

eagle, all I had to do was think of how my DH would react if I had bought it lol!

I actually was going to say you're on fire tonight. Wish I had.
I haven't used the dyson fan in a couple of years. It really chills the room. We basically have a half-axxxx AC system where all the cold air lands on me. I haven't figured out where to put the dyson so that the cold air from that doesn't land on me. So all the AC is off during the summer most of the time. Well, it doesn't matter too much b/c I have some reptile genes that enable me to put up with warmth that's bordering on excessive. (You know how those animal trainers fool around with gators with seemingly dangerous stunts? They throw ice all over the gator which immobilizes it).

Yes, thank you cremel, I think that is the one. It's a bit of a trek to get to from the touristy area, but might be worth it if there's time. Is there better high end shopping in the core - e.g. near the H store? I've only been to SF twice - once as a tourist, and then as a drive through on my way to Napa/Sonoma.

There is

Yes scarf is right. You could stroll around union square to check out lots of high end shops. And there's plenty of choices for restaurants nearby too. H shop is being renovated so they have a temporary location that's two minutes walking from union square.

Genie,
What I could think of is the San Francisco one :http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/san-francisco/stores

That is the best one ^^. There is an indoor outlet mall in Milpitas, but I don't think it is as good as the one in Livermore. There is also one in Petaluma (not high end except for an Off Fifth) and I think there is still one in Napa (I believe this one used to have Barney's Outlet but I think it is gone). Livermore is super hot in the summer, so warn your friend that the temp will rise considerably if she is commuting from SF. So much shopping in Union Square, your friend might also want to check out Fillmore, Hayes (Valley), Chestnut and Union streets for shops. HTH!
