And it's really frustrating to explain obvious things to people who are totally exalted and brain-washed passionately lecturing you why you should NOT vaccinate, while you already ARE vaccinated
I'm so terribly sorry for your loss and for what's happening with your mom, Ksu! It's awful when the people we love can't seem to be reasoned with.i will chime in with my sad story, since we are on this topic, i lost my Dad in December, just a sudden heart attack.
and that's why i've been a bit MIA, if anyone noticed
and as i started slowly getting back to normal routine, my Mom got covid and is now in ICU at the moment.
Fighting, but she's on and off, and needs the oxygen mask, and Docs don't give any forecast, saying just need to monitor the dynamics.
She's an avid anti-vaxxer, which makes me feel mixed feelings, on one hand that's what one ends up with for being stubborn and denying the obvious reasons, on the other hand it's just too much to handle for a span of 3 months...
i find the salvation in hard work, literally 24/7, i keep my head busy with work stuff, otherwise i'd have gone insane
so frustrated, and even sometime mad at her, for being so careless (to put it gently) to reject the vaccine while she has diabetis, yet feel very sad for all this happening to us
i'm still using my lovely bags, just because i keep myself so busy, i just forget to take pics
I wish your mom a speedy recovery.So you’ve met my sister then?And it's really frustrating to explain obvious things to people who are totally exalted and brain-washed passionately lecturing you why you should NOT vaccinate, while you already ARE vaccinated
Has anyone been in touch with Nibb? She’s been offline for a couple of months now.
I’ve seen some neat pieces too, but keep using my play money for bags. Some of the dog accessories! Wowza. I recently saw some glass intrecciato coasters i meant to pick up and forgot about….need to look for them, they were just
Hi

I’m so sorry, condolences.I have not been on here very much the past few weeks because they have been very difficult. I lost my mom to ovarian cancer almost three weeks ago. I miss her very much and my world has been shattered. With her passing I inherited lots of responsibility. Some of that responsibility is good, though. I'm now dog mom to a sweet, stubborn and beautiful American Eskimo. Because of her, I will need to find a new place to live in Arizona. My 3rd floor apartment with no elevator is not ideal for a 10 year old dog who hates stairs and barks a lot. A house with a yard is in my future, if I can find one in this crazy market.
I've gradually started coming back on the forum to get my mind off things. I'm in my hometown, Dallas, and started doing things with friends again. With my mother being a cancer patient, I was super cautious about going out and being around people, so I usually didn't. Anyway, it was good to see friends and catch up over Tex Mex and margaritas. I needed it more than I knew.
Yesterday during lunch, an old friend and I got on the topic of handbags. Neither of us knew we both loved luxury handbags, except I've seen her carry Prada occasionally. That lunch (and maybe the margaritas) led us to Highland Park Village so we could show each other our favorite non-BV bags. The Dallas BV boutique is at a different shopping center. However, I finally saw DL BV in the wild for the first time. A Cammello Pouch and a Mini Pouch (Almond or another similar neutral). It was a nice change from the typical LV and Chanel I see everywhere in Phoenix and Scottsdale.
Some of you know I recently purchased a hard to find bag on my wish list - the Espresso Metallic Intrecciato Cervo Baseball Hobo. I have not yet seen it in person. It was delivered to my office after I had to fly to Dallas. My boyfriend just mailed it to me, so hopefully I will still have time to return it if does not meet expectation. I will share photos soon.
Thanks to everyone for continuing the BV conversations. It has provided some nice carefree reading at the end of some difficult days.
Happy you have you back!Hi
