Alligators are protected here in Florida. You can't just kill them anymore. I "think" they sometimes have official, authorized hunts from time to time but the days of shooting them for the fun of it are over. However, they may lose their endangered status pretty soon which would be a game changer and might bring the prices down a bit.

Yes, I can relate! I love white or yellow grapefruit. I live in a citrus growing area but all the white and yellow grapefruit is exported to Asia. I can only get it from someone who grows it in their backyard. Apparently they think Americans only like pink or red grapefruit. We also produce a large amount of oranges locally that are shipped all over the country, yet we find Australian oranges in our grocery stores even when ours are in season.
Mountain lions are protected here. If you kill one that is attacking you or your livestock, you can be prosecuted.
All Australian native animals and birds are protected. If you want to keep one as a pet you need a permit.
Our supermarket shelves are stocked with Californian oranges! Farmers in the Riverland area of my state pulled out all their citrus because they couldn't compete with the imports.
Go figure!

That may change some day. The Florida citrus crop is being attacked by "citrus greening" and not only will the California crops have to make up for some of the Florida losses, but it's just a matter of time before the disease hits the California citrus crop too. That morning glass of orange juice in the US may get to be as expensive, and a lot more rare, than a large Starbucks.
So I hope the Oz citrus growers keep their trees healthy, they may need them sooner than they think.

Good Afternoon everyone. I just purchased a Sheridan Makeup bag and I am wondering if Coach ever gave it a style number or name. Here are the dimensions: 7" long, 5.5" high and 2.25" deep. I've attached a photo so you can see what it looks like. There is no creed inside which I expected. It is lined just like the other Sheridans and has "Coach" stamped on the bottom. Thanks for any info you can share.

Oh, so you are the one who won it! I was hoping no one would see the listing and I'd get it for a steal!
Congratulations! I'm sure it had a style number, but I've never seen it in a catalog.This is why you aren't allowed to bring any fresh fruit with you into California. California oranges are different varieties that aren't usually grown for juice so California can't make up for the loss of the Florida crop. It is hard to make a profit as a farmer in California. Our neighbor ended up selling his land and now he makes prosthetic limbs.
Wow! That is quite a career change! The farmers here are suffering too and battling to save as many trees as they can as you can see from that video.
Thanks, Whateve. There was a lot of bidding for it. I was also hoping no one would notice it. I've been looking for one for quite awhile and it will be perfect for all of my "stuff." We seem to have very similar taste in Coach bags.Oh, so you are the one who won it! I was hoping no one would see the listing and I'd get it for a steal!
Yes it is. First he tried being a realtor and I guess it wasn't very profitable, especially in this area. He had to go back to college for two years in another city, then work as an intern for a year before he could start his prosthetic limb business. He was long distance commuting for 3 years. His son and our other neighbor's son also went into the same business.
We do! You have good taste!

I don't know what guides you've been reading, but a prefix of NT is never, ever valid. No matter how nice the leather seems, a real Coach would never have that prefix. The numbers/letters before the dash indicate the month, year and place of production on a bag made after 1994. Prior to that date, serial numbers were unique and all numbers. In a creed that has any letters at all, the first digit has to be a letter of the alphabet, between A and M, and the second digit has to be a number. Fakes often have hardware stamped "solid brass." Coach only used solid brass hardware on some bags made in the 70s and 80s, and a few styles made in the 90s. You will hardly ever find a bag with both a letter in the creed and solid brass hardware.
These are the only guides we know of that contain accurate information. http://search.reviews.ebay.com/members/salearea_W0QQcpnameZmembersQQprZsaleareaQQuqtZg
