Some people have the worst manners. I think the US is sort of a covert class society, and the prejudices go both ways, although for many of us, we have been on both sides at different times. Although, I was young when I was truly broke, and it felt hopeless at the time, but looking back, it was totally the norm. What is sad, is that I get way better service when I have my nicest purse on my arm, compared to when I carry something not designer. Of course, in this economy, there are more people on edge about money issues. I'm sort of rambling, because I haven't had my coffee yet.Originally Posted by gypsiemagic /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I like people with this attitude /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I would feel like such a brat/horrible person for criticizing someone for "only having cheap purses" what the eff, we all are in different places in life and who is to judge, so I appreciate people who aren't snarky about other peoples nice things.
I got a lot of crap from by boyfriends best friends ex girlfriend (ex for a reason now /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />) when my dad bought me my new car as an 18th birthday/graduation present, because it was a new model of her car, and I seriously barely knew her, and yet she was so offended, but it makes people feel uncomfortable when it happens, so why do it.
something stupid happened at trader joes yesterday, so its kind of on my mind. Some lady with a very blatantly fake designer bag had the nerve to ask me where I got mine... and when I told her the store she just scoffed at me like "oh sure kid" what the heck, I didn't stand here and point out to everybody that yours is a horrible fake, so why make somebody feel bad for owning a real one.

I now have 2 bags stocked--my regular purse and a tote. The purse holds part of my emergency supplies, like deodorant, makeup kit, hair brush, face wipes, tampons, lotions, pill box. The tote holds things like a toiletry kit with body wash/shampoo, hair spray, more tampons and pads, socks, crossword puzzle books, a few packs of coffee and cream and tea and sugar. Emergency situations will come up, eventually, it is only a matter of time! If you've ever slept in a hospital's waiting room--you'll know what I mean. I'm absolutely paranoid about being unprepared, after being caught unprepared.
Same here.....seems all us Box 3 peeps are waiting on our shipping email. I don't think anyone has gotten a box with the Miracle Skin primer yet.Originally Posted by JamieO /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I may be a bit over-anxious, but I tend to keep a go-bag packed. It always has:Originally Posted by alice blue /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Me three! I've never had it happen again, but once had a severe reaction to sushi. (I eat it all the time so it really felt random.) In hindsight, I probably should have gone to the ER: I had numbness in my hands and what looked like an instant birthmark all over my face/arms/chest. I took a benadryl and waited it out that time (with ppl nearby keeping an eye) - but the 10 minutes getting to RiteAid to buy a benadryl sucked. Now I just keep it on hand...Originally Posted by TXSlainte /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I make sure to carry Benadryl at all times. Well, ever since the day I stepped in a fire ant pile during a fire drill at work, anyway.
I work at a public school, and sadly didn't have Verteran's Day off. I think that's a shame. We should be teaching students to have respect for our veterans and our country and we cannot even observe a holiday in their honor? In the past, I have even had to work on Memorial Day. In a public school. In the 4th largest city in the US.Originally Posted by mjkdior713 /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Yea, a lot of people don't get off for holidays like Veterans. I work for a non-profit and we don't get a lot of those holidays off (though we do get off Martin Luther King Jr day), but we do get off other days some people don't. It's funny, my one friend always asks me when a holiday like this comes up (this one and she did on Columbus Day too) if I have off. And I'm always like, "Why would I have off>" She says, "It's a holiday". I'm like "It's not that kinda holiday, just schools and government businesses have off.". She doesn't work right now which I guess is why she doesn't know most people don't have off.
Once was more than enough for me to learn the Benadryl lesson.Originally Posted by LAtPoly /img/forum/go_quote.gif

Mine did the same last month...Edgewood to Coppell to Memphis with Dallas in there somewhere before making it back to Austin. Mail routes be crazy! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Originally Posted by TXSlainte /img/forum/go_quote.gif
My shipping info seems kind of crazy this month. Went from Edgewood, NY to Coppell, TX which is totally normal. Then it went to Memphis, TN which is just bizarre, and to the "local" post office in Dallas. I don't live in Dallas, so I would hardly call their post office "local."
I'll take a pic later! My meds are expired so I need to replace those...realized that when I was repacking the other day. womp womp. But everything fits so well! Just gotta make sure everything is as flat as possible. Oh and I added a mini-Bic lighter that I forgot about when I put up my list. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />Originally Posted by classybroad /img/forum/go_quote.gif
Best list ever I am going to use this. I can't believe it all fits into that target bag. You are a genie. Would love to see a picture of this greatness.
From what I can tell, I am getting box 16....half the fun of Birchbox is the element of surprise, which is invariably dampened when we get our shipping weight- which is then cross referenced with postings from other MTU members about what they got in their box and so on. I guess I'm just a little bummed I didn't get to ruin my own surprise this month.Originally Posted by grayc /img/forum/go_quote.gif

I've never heard of such a thing! Is that the law everywhere?Originally Posted by americanclassic /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I remember a year ago, I got a $400 parking ticket for making a right-turn after the pedestrian had crossed but hadn't made it to the other side of the sidewalk.
