Coffee Break: Kendrick Trunk Crossbody Bag

138 Comments

1. This is hideous, I love it. Ugly shoes and ugly purses are my jam.

   Specifically I like the short wooly fur, rather than long wispy stuff (which looks like cheap Muppet skin).

   1. Super fun. Just make sure it’s only one piece in your outfit!!

   2. I still thought “who killed a muppet” when I saw this. Maybe more of a Sesame Street muppet though.

2. I know that these fuzzy bags are trendy right now but I can’t help but be grossed out. I need to be able to wipe down my bag and keep it somewhat clean/sanitary.

   1. +1, fuzzy shoes and canvas shoes similarly ick me out, at least as city wear.

   2. I wouldn’t mind a machine washable fuzzy bag, like lesportsac only with fur

   3. What’s going on with your bag?

      1. Occasional coffee spill, bumping into dirty city things, or the subway/transit. Pretty normal stuff…. or so I thought?

         1. So, Ikea bag for the win? I cannot think of any bag really up to the rigors of how nasty things can be. Or whatever they make diaper bags out of — that’s got to be something bullet-proof.

         2. The two mentions on this thread about cities in particular are strange to me.

            1. dogwhistles?

            2. For people who aren’t car commuters it’s a valid consideration.

            3. is it though? What exactly is the concern? Assuming the city has indoor plumbing, and you don’t need to worry about chamber pots being emptied at every corner. What is the actual tangible health concern?

            4. Bike commuter here… never gave it a thought.

            5. If you don’t have a driver standing by, like a character in Succession, NY delivers a fine layer of black grit. On the streets, if you sit on a bench, or ride the subway.

            6. Cities with melting snow net you good odds of someone splashing you with a thin soup of melt ice and grit.

   4. People wipe down their bags?

      1. I have never met anyone who wipes down the outside of their bag. The inside maybe, if you carry food and drinks a lot I can see how it would get gross.

3. We’ve been doing this for two years, right? Then why oh why did I have to just produce the following for making external Zoom calls? :headdesk:

   And yeah, every bad example has happened in the past 2 weeks.

   Tips for Zoom Calls

   Be on time.
   – If you cannot join on time, notify Name ASAP.
   – Do not join a meeting more than 5 minutes after its scheduled start time.

   Use video for Zoom calls.
   – Sit at your desk with the video directly facing you at approximately eye level. Make sure your space is well lit.
   – If you cannot be seated at your desk, please join with audio only. This is a formal business call, and if you’re walking/driving/shopping/etc during a video call, it telegraphs that the call isn’t important to you.

   Stay on topic.
   – Small talk is fine, but avoid opining about politics, religion, a person’s physical appearance or other potentially sensitive topics.
   – If you disagree with something the Name team says, please bring it up after the call is over.

   1. Why would you not join more than 5 minutes late?

      To be fair, a lot of these rules seem really specific to your context and I would not say they are general Zoom meeting rules.

      1. Don’t be late!!

         1. I mean, yeah, don’t be late. But if you are late it’s much less disruptive to join a Zoom meeting late than it is an in person meeting.

      2. +1 this is context specific ‘sit at your desk’ lol with realestate prices in my city some of the director level staff don’t even have dedicated desks.

         1. + 1, we pushed out a generic background for our team members to use, as some are working on the balcony of their city apts.

            1. The zoom blurred background is a gift from God

      3. +1 a lot of these are not applicable to my org. I don’t even turn on video for most calls.

      4. I have a lot of back to back meetings. I’m gonna take a pee break if needed, which means I’m going to be late to some meetings. If so, I’ll send a message to the organizer that I’m running late.

   2. don’t be late, match the formality of the occasion, and stay on topic are just general rules of professional conduct. Your problem is not zoom or remote work, it’s more fundamental.

   3. Why would I not log into a call if I am more than 5 minutes late? Sometimes other things hold me up and clients come first period. This list seems super “micromanagey” to me and I would be very unhappy if I received something like this. I think your issues run deeper and this is a bandaid to mask the underlying issues -i.e, if your team is bringing up religion, etc.

      1. Don’t be late is a basic, basic tenet of meetings. I’m not OP but wow, are you ever making this about you.

         1. Yikes.

         2. No, it seems like the penalty for being late is not being allowed to participate/contribute at all, with the attendant side eye. People are 6 minutes late for all sorts of good reasons including unplannable things like bathroom breaks. What if it is the meeting host or C suite person who is 6 minutes late (as is often the case)? Are they also banned?

         3. I agree with everyone else. I mean yeah be on time if you can, but plenty of people are late to meetings for many reasons. I would rather someone join more than 5 minutes late than not at all. I don’t see why it would matter.

         4. I feel like we’re back in elementary school with this “don’t ever be late”. We are adults and if people are late, I assume they had a good reason. FWIW I’m usually the first person dialed in to most calls, so it’s not about me.

            1. +1 People are late bc meetings are scheduled back to back and run over and it’s just how life works. 99% of people are not trying to purposely late to your meeting. Good grief.

               My org has never sent out anything like this and never will. This is over the top.

         5. Don’t be late for stupid reasons, sure. If a client calls and I answer, shall I just hang up on them? Tell them this Zoom is far more important and I must hang up NOW lest my manager give me a demerit? What is your solution to this hard line you’ve drawn in the sand? You would rather someone not login at all then login 6 minutes late? What is your end game her?

      2. A lot of us are on back-to-back calls (or calls where you don’t get the privilege of ending them or even bowing out gracefully). So it’s late or never and if I dial-in late, I can catch up on the call vs making someone take more time later to rehash it with me.

   4. yikes, I don’t know who the audience is for these, but it comes off as super patronizing. I would suggest having some 1:1 conversations if you have specific examples for a few individuals rather than sending this.

   5. Are there specific team members you should be following up with vs blasting whole company re: don’t talk about controversial things?

      Also, most of the rest does not apply to my very professional finance job, fwiw. We’re a pretty formal bunch and an email like this would be blasted internally. Also, we are constantly taking calls from the road, from the airport, from site tours/client meetings.

      1. Some people are just blowing off things and it’s not a good look. And then there is a managing director who lets you know “I have a call backing up to this and may be late logging in” when he is the guy who can fire us all.

         1. Use your words! Be proactive with known likely issues.
         2. If you are late, let it be for a good reason vs OMG was sending a witty meme.

         1. You seem to have some very specific problems that are not applicable to most people. The way to address those is directly with the people causing them.

   6. I agree that the question of what is appropriate behavior does not have the hard-and-fast rules you attribute to it and your tips would be frowned upon at my company. We are required to make our best effort and respect each other, but how that plays out is different than what is envisioned here. And asking people not to publicly disagree with you? That’s absurd!

      1. I got the sense that OP meant not to openly disagree with a client in the moment, which I can understand in some cases. But yeah a meeting where no one can disagree with you can just be an email.

   7. Ok so if you’re one of the people from this morning insisting that immunocompromised people should be compelled to go to business dinners or OMG face career consequences, guess what being a chronically-late-to-meetings person is going to do for you.

      I know you all think you’re special exceptions, but try your best to be on time, and not so shocked that others find it rude when you’re late.

      I am often surprised at what is considered controversial here, and today is no exception.

      1. (PS I am not OP)

      2. Okay, you are the one who is taking this way too personally.

      3. Way to turn something that was absolutely not about you, and your issues, into something that is all about you, and your issues. Get off the Internet for awhile and do some examination of yourself and why you feel compelled to turn every single conversation into an opportunity to air your grievances at the world.

4. I know this get asked a lot, but what kind of jeans does a petite 45 year old wear these days? Gap preferred because it’s easy and they have petite lengths. Prefer to spend $50-100. I’m a 24P and it’s been 3-4 years since I’ve bought jeans, but I’m totally a jeans and a t-shirt kinda person.

   1. There are no jeans rules anymore. Anything you want, from jeggings to bell bottoms, basically!

      1. I’m seeing high-rise denim with tucked-in shirts, which some people like as a look. And I’m seeing sling-backs again, which are so clompy to me.

      2. +1. no jeans rules right now. get whatever you want.

   2. whatever she wants! i keep hearing good things about good american and universal standard jeans for plus sizes…

      1. 24P = 00P. Opposite problem.

   3. I think straight legs, with a rise that’s comfortable for you.

   4. Fellow petite here in my late 30s, trying to figure out how to stay somewhat current without looking like a college student. I just bought a pair of Gap High Stride Jeans – the one available in dark indigo that’s styled like more polished trousers. It embraces the wide leg and straight cuts that are in style but looks more adult. This was after looking at a ton of Pinterest photos of Jeanne Damas and Alexa Chung. I also bought a pair of barrel cut jeans but those might be trendier / more casual than what you’re searching for. It feels like a tough time right now to update our wardrobes. Are new fashion trends skewing younger or am I just getting old??

5. I do most of my banking at Bank X and have a debit and credit card from there. I have a high yield savings account at Bank Y. I just realized that I don’t have a way to directly get money out of the account in Bank Y – I can transfer money to Bank X which is what I’ve done to date and then have access to it. Should I get a debit card to Bank Y? I’m a little nervous to have a debit card hanging around in case its stolen.

   1. I have money at ally bank that I don’t have a debit card for. In fact, I don’t know where I’d go to access it using a debit card. I am perfectly fine handling everything online.

   2. I’ve had one wallet stolen in my 42 years of life and that was when I left my purse under a table at an event at a convention center when I was 22.

      Get the debit card and leave it in a safe place in your house. Or just Zelle the money over when you need it. That’s instant.

      1. There are limits on how much you can Zelle per day and week, though. I vote “get the debit card.”

         1. At least at Schwab, you actually need a debit card in order to enable Zelle!

      2. Just as a counterpoint, I’ve had my wallet stolen twice in my life, once from my desk drawer and once from my car while I was in it (they broke the window and ran). It’s a huge pain in the ass and yeah, the first thing they did was spend up the credit & debit cards. Same happened when my husband was mugged for his wallet. So I no longer carry around anything I’m not going to need, like an debit card for an account I don’t intend to touch.

   3. How often do you have to access the savings in Bank Y? If it’s infrequent, I don’t see a need for the debit card. Continue to transfer money over as needed.

6. Anyone want to play armchair psychiatrist for me? I can’t tell if what I’m experiencing is burnout/overwork/overwhelm, grief brain (mom died 5 months ago), perimenopause brain (early days at 44 but it’s starting), pandemic brain, undiagnosed ADD, or … I’ve just become quite stupid? Or all of the above?

   Basically – it feels like I have to run on all cylinders just to get my daily tasks done, so anything out of the ordinary is just not doable. And I mean ANYTHING – like, it takes me weeks to call a plumber about that leak in the ceiling. Looking back, this has always been true to an extent, but it seems far more intense in the last year or so. I’m tired all the time, but I never seem to catch up on work enough to truly rest.

   I have a history of depression and am medicated – it has worked fine for years. But brain chemistry changes.

   I know that I really should talk to a professional, but again – anything out of the ordinary seems to take a herculean effort. So I’m here instead. Armchair analyses welcome.

   1. I’m here listening because lately I am the same. Hugs

      1. Same. I recently had a project that I just. could. not. get right. My boss would tell me something and I’d write it down but I still couldn’t remember anything. I don’t know what the answer is but it’s really hard.
         One thing to check – sometimes antidepressants just stop working. Might be worth looking into a switch.

   2. For me it was a combination of burnout and sleep apnea. A CPAP machine made a massive difference. My brain works again.

   3. I would suggest talking to both your GP and your Gynecologist. My GP found I was low on Vitamin D, and my gynecologist was really helpful with perimenopause symptoms.

   4. wowwww this is totally me. i’m not sure my weird perimenopause things (evening primrose, lots of fiber daily) HELP – but when i DON’T do them i’m even worse, both at handling extra stuff and having a short fuse.

   5. I definitely feel this type of brain fog when I’m depressed and overwhelmed. I’m sorry about your mom.

   6. Do you live somewhere cold and dark right now? For me this sounds like a combination of ADHD (decision paralysis , executive functioning issues) plus SAD (Seasonal affective depression) along with possibly being low on vitamin D/B12. Right off the bat I’d start with a sublingual b vitamin supplement and high dose vitamin D (if you are somewhere dark right now) and then ask your doctor about ADHD. One clue for me – I felt SO productive and amazing when I took heavy duty cold medication…because the pseudoephedrine basically worked like adderal on me. Oops.

      1. I was also going to suggest sublingual B12, a multi B with rhodiola and speaking to your doctor about sleep tests.

   7. Hormonal changes during perimenopause can definitely increase symptoms of ADHD, and it’s apparently very common for women to be diagnosed with ADHD in middle age because the combination of demanding responsibilities and/or hormonal changes mean that all of the coping strategies you’ve developed previously are no longer sufficient. Ask me how I know! :-)

      1. How did you get diagnosed? It’s a running-not-joke with my husband that I have it, and I don’t necessarily disagree with him.

         1. I started with my primary care doctor and talked with him about it. My son had been diagnosed at that point, and I had been diagnosed as “hyperactive” as a child, so between that and my struggles with getting things done, he was comfortable making a call and trying some meds to see if they helped. They did help some, but eventually I ended up with a psychiatrist to fine tune the meds. They aren’t a magic bullet, but they do help!

   8. I am the same way generally and it’s gotten a lot worse in the last couple years. I think it’s a combo of pandemic burnout and hormonal changes. I’m 37 and still have very regular periods but when I talked to my OB about this and other recent symptoms (insomnia, ongoing weight gain despite better lifestyle choices, headaches) she thought it was likely I’m in perimenopause. It can apparently last for FIFTEEN YEARS before your period stops!

   9. I am really sorry for your mom, bellatrix. You have gotten good responses on the other issues, but also… I was like this in the year after mom died, several months in when the adrenaline/pressure/whatever it was around her passing and the final care and funeral and all, wore off, and I was actually less able to do things than at first. It took all my energy to just… exist. So don’t underestimate grief brain. You are going through one of the hardest losses humans go through, and it takes an enormous toll. Don’t put pressure on yourself to accomplish anything – just give yourself space to just be with your grief. If there is any kind of support group near you (or virtual) go, or ask close people for help, or talk to someone. Hugs to you.

7. Does anyone know of any chic but affordable belt bag/fanny packs that are not copycats? Finally ready to try the style…

   1. Um, my bestie got mine off Etsy and it has sushi on it. I guess it depends on your idea of ‘fashionable’, but it’s grown on me, lol.

   2. Mine is a Jansport of Amaz*on. It’s in a fun animal print in bright colors (with goes with my general vibe). I wear it regularly, and save the nicer bags for kid-free time.

   3. I don’t know what you mean by copycats, but Herschel has good ones. Mokyubi has fun ones that are definitely original.

   4. I really like mine from the Girlfriend Collective. Holds a lot but still is cute(ish)

   5. Copycats of what? The look is played out. I’d only bother if you find it convenient.

8. Has anyone actually negotiated additional maternity leave at a job? I just got a job offer and they give 6 weeks of paid leave versus the job I’m leaving gives 3 months paid leave. I’m not pregnant but will likely start trying within the next year. I’m just nervous that it will give the wrong impression.

   1. If you’re not pregnant I’d negotiate something else. You can say the benefits are less so I need x% more to join without being specific. Make sure your pay raise covers 6 weeks unpaid leave that you’re leaving behind.

      1. I wouldn’t make it obvious what you were doing. Can you negotiate another week of paid vacation per year, then use two weeks of that, for example?

   2. I think you absolutely can negotiate this.

      For framing, i’d pitch it as “my old company had X comprehensive benefits (401k match, time off, stock vesting cycle, paid parental leave, etc.) and i’d like for you to match it.” instead of leading with the paid parental leave only.

      1. Good advice.

   3. Negotiating a week or two is one thing, but not double their leave policy. Even if they agree, you’ll have to contend with their terrible culture around pregnancy and leave. Unless it’s common and accepted that new moms take 3 months even though they only get paid for 6 weeks, your managers and coworkers will all be expecting you back and will probably be resentful when you’re not.

      I would also worry about whether it’ll actually be honored. The HR people will not remember. You will have to repeatedly remind everyone that you negotiated this ~2 years prior, and they will grumble all the way.

9. so i’m the OP of the post this morning about indoor dining. I am immunocompromised (diagnosed within the past 2 years so never had to navigate previously) and my doctor has advised me not to dine indoors right now given transmission levels. however, i do not want to disclose my health condition to my colleagues or every single person i meet! is this what the world has come to? i need to tell everyone about my health conditions?

   1. I am too and same advice from my doctor. I’ve just been telling people. I am not sure what else to do.

   2. Can you be vague and say you need to avoid indoor dining in order to protect someone in your immediate circle? Not a perfect solution.

   3. Are you comfortable with “my doctor has advised me to avoid indoor dining based on my specific needs” without providing more details?

      I think there will be a permanent shift back to prepandemic modes of operation, even when cases are higher than they are now.

      1. +1 i would just say your doctor has told you not to dine indoors and not offer more details.

   4. Are you comfortable saying what you said here: “My doctor has advised me not to diner indoors right now due to a health condition”? You may need some polite phrases to shut down well-intentioned follow-up questions, but you really don’t have to disclose more than that. But yes, most people are resuming pre-Covid activities and feel like the burden is shifting to the immunocompromised to protect themselves. I’m not saying that’s right, but it is indeed what the world has come to.

   5. “I’m not doing that right now.” It’s not a discussion.

      1. I feel that people would assume it’s an anxiety disorder though (which is also definitely stigmatized).

         1. I think it’s a bit of a leap to an anxiety disorder. A lot of people have health conditions or live with elderly parents or have kids under 5.

            1. Right? I think that people also generally get that there are Reasons why people are more conservative than required. No one really cares what your reason is or has the bandwidth to discuss or even wants to know.

         2. No, I wouldn’t think that. I’d think someone close to you had some serious health concerns and I wouldn’t pry.

   6. I am going to get flamed for this, so let me put on my fire retardant suit before I begin. Yes, I do think this is where we are. We have normalized inquiring about vaccine status, for right or wrong – not making a judgement call, and by extension I think we have normalized disclosing medial info. By treating vaccine info as a non- confidential piece of info by extension we have waded into a gray area of medical info being asked about/shared.

      1. Yay our resident OANN viewer

         1. Nope. I am a totally different person than the poster you have been calling this lately. I just live in a fairly conservative area and feel like I honestly live in a different universe than so many posters on this board. Some of the things I see suggested here just would not work in the world I am in. At all. Those of us in the flyover states have, frankly, had a very different experience than those on the coasts in a lot of ways pertaining to Covid.

            And, if you note in my post, I clearly state I don’t think it’s right or wrong – just that it has opened that up to be a bit more acceptable. I personally think all of it should be private and the OP should be able to keep it to herself. Think about it, just a few years ago I doubt it would have been acceptable to ask if someone had received a flu vaccine. I am just pointing out that it has been, imo, more acceptable to ask about medically related items.

         2. Really? This feels like a reasonable take, though I don’t know if it’s where I’d land (haven’t given this enough thought).

         3. You’re exhausting, Anonymous.

            1. Ditto that. This is the poster who thinks they’re being oh-so-witty by posting a reductionist, insulting one-liner response when people post a thoughtful response about a complex issue. One more time for the cheap seats in the back: this isn’t Reddit, and your pithy, brainless contributions don’t get you imaginary karma points here.

   7. Do you live in a place where it’s easy enough to dine outside? When I was on a diet I had a select list of places I would suggest for client dinners where I knew the offerings and the staff knew me so I could get a plain grilled fish if that’s what I wanted. You could do the same with outdoor dining — know all the places you can suggest that have heated/covered/large enough tables/etc.

      I also just bought a CO2 monitor (aranet4) to test ventilation numbers — I’ve been shocked how good it was at my eye doctor’s, for example. (400 = outside, 700 is good for inside — her office was 550. She barely wears her mask so the ventilation bit was good news.) One more tool in your toolbox though.

   8. You don’t need to disclose your health condition – lots of people have high risk family members or unvaccinated children or have a vacation in two weeks and therefore a being really careful. You can say something along the lines: 1. affirm you would love to see everyone. 2. politely but vaguely state that you still need to be really careful about covid. 3. suggest switching the reservation to outdoors (if weather allows). I would consider perhaps a selective disclosure – similar to if you tell the assistant that does all the planning you are vegetarian or celiac so they can not do a steak house or bakery.

   9. Could you say that someone in your close family is immunocromprimised and you are following doctors orders? Definitely not a lie, you are the closest family member to yourself.

   10. Why can’t you just say sorry, can’t make it? Is this dinner really that important?

   11. I am not immunocompromised, but have an autoimmune disease currently in remission that is likely to be reactivated by even a mild or asymptomatic Covid infection (my specialist doctor recommended I get my third dose when they were only available to the immunocompromised for this reason). I also have two kids under 5, and really don’t want them to get Covid before vaccination because of the risk of longterm complications. I don’t tell anyone this info, although it’s not a secret I have young kids. I just decline indoor dining events. That said, I work for the government so it’s pretty dang hard to get fired and I don’t GAF what my colleagues think about me.

       1. You’re probably due for your 4th shot now, your actual booster. The 3rd shot wasn’t a booster for us, it was the 3rd in a series of 3 primary immunizations.

          I waited a little while because I heard that pharmacists were turning away people seeking the 4th shot/ booster, but I finally went in for it three weeks ago once I heard they had implemented a specific recommendation for them at CVS, and I had no issues getting it from the pharmacist there.

          1. Thanks, good to know. My doctor doesn’t recommend a fourth dose for me currently. I’m not immunocompromised and there’s no reason to think my body didn’t mount an immune response to the first three shots. It was more just she wanted me to get the third shot early when it was clear that two shots weren’t super effective against Delta because of the potential complications for me if I caught Covid. According to the data I’ve seen, a fourth dose doesn’t make much difference vs three shots as far as Omicron goes so I’m not in a hurry to get it but of course will if my doctor recommends it.

   12. I hate to say it but you kinda do. People are going to judge you as unreasonably cautious otherwise because for the vast majority of people, Covid is no longer a threat that warrants such disruption. Sometimes you need to explain to preserve your reputation. I think saying you’re immune compromised is enough though.

10. So, Putin is attacking cities filled with civilians. This is not a way to welcome people back to Mother Russia’s bosom. Unless he empties out the country, he will never be able to not watch his back there. Is no one protesting in Russia? Or just everywhere else?

    1. There are protests in Russia (there have also been arrests of protestors, including arrests of people who were just on their way to go protest).

    2. I’m seeing posts about protests in multiple Russian cities all over Reddit (with photos and video) including documentation of protesters being arrested.

    3. Why on earth is Putin going all the way to Kiev? Why not just take the border areas? And how do you think his troops he sent into Chernobyl? You might as well mutiny — you’re going to die either way probably. He is going to get us all killed at the rate he is going.

    4. I am not a fan of Putin. If you look closely at his eyes, he does not look straight at you. I wonder if the Russian People are that much in love with him, either. Why is he so insistent on gaining power of the Ukraine? I heard he is richer than Jeff Bezos, so what is his angle? Also who are these Oligarks and do they have money that can be sanctioned by Biden? This is kind of confusing to me.

    5. Putin has announced he is not there to occupy Ukraine – he is there to take it over. For that, you need to be able to stall the whole country: control the borders, control infrastructure (incl airports for easier control of airspace), control capital, eliminate existing government. Then announce annex. And his actions show this. He is going primarily after military and government buildings; civil buildings are collateral damage.
       I am ashamed that it is clear what he is doing, yet all allies are shuffling their feet. He takes Ukraine first and then what? Will he really stop before magic NATO borders? Or will he want to annex the previous Soviet colonies as well?
       Imagine what people in Kyiv must be going through right now – all those millions who did not manage to flee yesterday due to traffic collapse. Sleeping in the sound of explosions, sirens, only to wake up and find their city encircled. And we are discussing whether to kick out Russia from SWIFT.

       1. Then what? Finland and Sweeden are next. They both have been warned about joining to NATO this afternoon.

11. Wait, did comments just switch from oldest first to newest first?

    1. I went back to the earlier post from today and was so confused!

    2. Seems so!

    3. yep see admin note in the post. i don’t mind it.

       1. Ahh.

          Well then, I guess I will say I don’t like it because when I leave and then come back to the same day’s post I like to know generally where things are.

          1. +1

          2. I don’t like it either. Maybe this is my OCD tendencies talking, but it really bothers me that the top level comments are now in reverse chronological order, but the second (and third and so on) level comments remain in chronological order. I feel like it should be consistent.

             1. Yes! Same here!

    4. Since Kat asked for feedback, I like it better the old way, especially with m-d that sometimes delays a timestamped older post from showing up until later – at which point it will be buried below new content and more likely not seen.

       This way it also seems way likelier we’ll have multiple threads on a hot topic of the day (be it war or Olympic scandal).

       I usually collapse all comments, then skim down – so I can see if a thread I was previously interested in had new activity, and then check out new posts.

       1. + 1 KAT plz note!

       2. Agree.

       3. Exactly. Don’t mess with it, Kat – the comments are the lifeblood of this blog.

    5. Whoops m.d

    6. Thanks for pointing it out. I thought I was going insane!

    7. OLD WAY

    8. Hate it!!!

    9. I liked the old way much better!

    10. Looks like it is back to the right way? Oldest at the bottom and I am in favor of that!
