I do miss H’s BMW X5. I am trying to convince him to get another one. The one we lost was a beautiful midnight blue. That was my favorite car. Anything bigger and I literally can't park it anywhere here. And even though it was a SUV it was still fun to drive.

@gentleapricot I get it. It’s like “I’m planning a small vacation. I’m thinking of Boston, the Finger Lakes, or Maine” “We just went to Paris and it was awesome!” But this just happened in the Las Vegas thread. Everyone was like oh don't go there go xyz. Idk you are asking for free advice. You get what you get I think that happened because OP listed reasons to go to Vegas and there are many places to go that hit those things as well

And look what happened in seaword’s handbag thread. It started with a lot of “I would never!” And by page 446, the reasonable people were copping designer bags. I feel some people peer pressured themselves to cop the bags. Only they themselves know the answer to that. JMO Yikes. I know we always joke about this place being bad for our wallet. But I would really hope that no one would buy something they a) didn’t truly love or b) couldn’t really afford just for an Internet thread. I’ve really enjoyed the thread. It’s light hearted and mindless, which is what I’m here for. I don’t think there is any expectation that anyone has to buy a bag or a certain price range. People are in there buying dupes or just lusting at pics.

If the handbag thread has evolved, someone please let me know. What would you like it to evolve to? It’s a thread about handbags. Every price and style is being discussed at this point. I do think prices range from like $10-$1000+ in there. Many options.

My only experience with luxury SUVs is my friends recently bought an Audi SUV because they are looking to have kids relatively soon and it had spacious trunk space with 3 rows of seats and could fit all the baby gear yada, yada. The looks on their faces when they realized DDs stroller didn't fit in the trunk with the 3 row of seats up was priceless. If they have zero kids right now, they will find they will flip that 3rd row up maybe 1x a year, if that. At least I did. oh I know and said as much, but they specifically bought it for that reason.

I have no problem with the varying advice in most recommendation threads. You never know if a budget is flexible and it helps other posters. You never know who else could be looking for something similar with a different budget. this is crazy

I don't want it to evolve into anything? Da fuq? I haven't been there because it is not my thing. But shit evolves into other things at times. Like other than handbags. For all I know you are talking about pants now.

It goes both ways though. Like when I posted my handbag thread, I think my budget was $300-$600 or something and people were posting less than $100 bags. I’m like, “That is not what I requested”. Although... I did get a Madewell after my TB so, thank you. But still!! But if someone has a bag they love that hits all your wants should they not suggest it because it's below the proposed budget?
LMK
I don’t see the point. Because if I wanted something in that range I would’ve specified.

You asked to be notified if it evolved. I was asking what kind of evolution you were looking for. Apparently it’s nothing. Or pants. Unclear. I’m letting you know it’s still handbags. If we start talking about pants, I will let you know. Or maybe I shouldn’t. Still unclear.

I am not Sister Eve.
I have no problem just not recommending anything to anyone. The few times I do usually are bypassed anyway.

I hate sleep training threads because the issue is usually a habit they created and are not ready to stop so we're wasting our time recommending shit.
Depends on my mood if I participate.

I guess I don't have an issue with more than one bag thread. What if one OP's budget was 500 and the other person's top was 100?
I wouldn't want to share a thread.

One more thing. I get that threads need to evolve, but if someone is looking for shoes that are $50 and they get 2 answers with shoes in their price range, but the rest of the 10 pages are higher ones because it evolved they 1. didn't get their answers (well I guess they did they got 2) and 2. it could make them feel bad
I KNOW WE ARE NOT TRYING TO PUT THAT PERSON DOWN NOR CAN WE BE SUPER SENSITIVE ALL THE TIME WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE BUT STILL

And just to be very clear, because I forgot how y’all are. I am not bothered by this, by any means. Simply put, I question a posters intentions when they post things that have 0 relevance to the conversation. An Audi is not relevant to a conversation about $35k-$40k SUVs with captain seats, period. There's also a big difference between someone asking for $50 shoe recs and someone suggesting $100 shoes and looking for $30k SUV recs and people suggesting $60k SUVs. This

I really feel we need a dupe bag thread, because I like a lot of what I see in the handbag thread but the dupes get lost in with the $500-2500 bags
