You do? I did a couple from horse feed sacks cause they’re all plastic...how’d you do your bottoms?
I’d use chicken feed bags but the ones I buy are covered in paper on the outside and as soon as they get a bit wet they’re a mess

Just like I do for fabric tote bags, box the corners.
-For feed sacks I cut off the bottom where it was fasted together (although, I suppose you could leave it and count it as your bottom seam...haven't tried that)
-cut everything nice and straight, leaving the sides of the bag intact
-turn it inside out
-sew the bottom seam twice for strength (2 lines close to each other, but on top of)
-box the corners

She explains how to do it and how to measure based on how wide you want the bottom to be. I've got bags with 4 inch bottoms to 8 inch bottoms. The bigger the bottom the more width of the entire bag you lose, but sometime a big square bag is exactly what you need.
(To make the handles I cut strips off the top of the bag before I begin or sacrifice one extra bag to be cut up just for handles)

This is for fabric, but treat it the same. You can leave the little flap for strength if you want.

Here's some pics from the wonderful community that I live in.

Thanks to the staff where I work.






Lights and sirens parade. All of our first responders drove the streets with lights and sirens going to show their support for our community.
The flight for life also joined in.

A pipeline company from Utah brought this to show their support and displayed it for a couple of hours.

Our town held a Crusin Main parade

And for some cuteness, some of our local 4-H kids brought animals to visit our residents.

Ya in some situations it is more complicated.
There are situations where the partner really doesn't give a st!t or not enough to care to try to be supportive. That sucks.
And I haven't personally seen a situation where there wasn't something else going on. Lots of times depression is a symptom or side effect of something else. Either another mental health issue or from a trama. In those causes if you don't work on the other working on the depression alone is fruitless.
Another thing ive noticed about woman is there overwhelming ability to attach shame to circumstances that they shouldn't. Shame especially when misplaced seems a major struggle or hurdle for woman that men don't deal with as much or understand.
I have seen woman that seem to get stuck or seem to except this is just life for me.
Not to say "just get over it" but it will be hard to get to a better place if youre not moving forward. Even if its just baby steps moving forward is moving to a healthier life. Sometimes its one step forward and three steps backwards and maybe it is the guy in me but I think doing something is more effective then doing nothing.

I agree.
Life certainly is messy isn't it.

I also thank you for your insightful input from a males point of view.

Is something wrong?

Men
What they say: nothing
What they mean: literally nothing

Ladies
What they say: nothing
What they mean: I'm depressed, I feel fat, I thought I would have kids by now, you dont communicate, we dont ever talk, you dont ever take me out anymore, and you don't even realize any of this you dumb son of a ***** you moron

Hello all. My husband has cancer. He was diagnosed 2 yrs ago. He has had chemo, 35 radiation treatments and Ivor Lewis surgery. He was cancer free for 9 months. It has returned in one lymph node and is currently getting chemo. He was told on his fb by someone (who was complaining about not opening everything) that he is going to die anyway, so it doesn't matter. Basically, told to go and die. I also belong to a cancer group for his type of cancer. Many of those people were told the same thing by others since covid-19 has come out. He is devastated. I am in Mama Bear mode. You sure see the true nature of people during this virus outbreak. He had many people just break contact when he was first diagnosed, they don't know what to say or do. But this - is heartbreaking.

Hi Martha,
so very sorry your husband is going thru all this AND having to put up with cruel strangers on top of it (and you of course too!). I understand the "friends" loss, well, I don't actually understand it but I understand how it made you both feel. Been there after my own diagnosis a few years ago with one of the "incurables" type of cancer. (Don't you love it when someone treats your husband like he's contageous?) However, the "you're going to die anyway" garbage? Of course we are!!! Guess what idiot? So are you! Doesn't mean either one of us are in a hurry to get there. That self centered narcissistic "me first" (and to H$%& with you) attitude is exactly what has gotten our country as a whole into this current mess to begin with and certainly isn't going to get us out of it. I wonder if they hold that attitude if something that devastating happens to them or someone they love. Do you think then they might finally realize that whether you're in the front of the boat (catching the sunrise) or the back (watching the sunset) we're all still sitting in the same boat? We can only hope. In the meantime, please know you are not alone. There are still lots of us out here with our common sense, and humanity, still in tact. As for friends, I now do not miss the ones I've lost because I've gained a few new ones that are far more precious.
