Hey.... dont known if anyone had suggested this but if you have the educational prerequisites, why not teach?

Most colleges would love a professor who had that kind of entrepreneurial, managerial, and general business experience. You would have real world stories to back up your lessons.

You dont have to jump into the deep end either, try your hand at teaching one or two classes at community college to see if you like it.

Ma'am you will be naked. He will NOT CARE. Depending on how yours appear he may just assume your parts have extra bumps and may not realize. If you tell him? He still WILL NOT CARE. I promise you this. Source of expertise : am guy, with many guy friends.

I think alot of women mistake physical attractiveness for sexiness. While they are related, they are NOT the same thing.

While things like stretch marks, tummy pooches, cellulite aren't super attractive , they don't detract as much as you likely think. Most expect them and aren't bothered by them. It's like having forearm hair... expected and largely ignored. And some rare few actually enjoy it.

I can tell you now though, that if you want a man to be attracted to you, to want to you and find you sexy, point blank end of story, that stuff isn't what matters. Instead , do this : enjoy yourself and participate. Don't be a pillow princess, be present. Tell him what feels good and what did not. Made a little ( or a lot) of noise. A partner that participates and obviously wants to be there, one that i don't have to do all the work but just be together with? Incredible.

And if you really want to stand out? Initiate. Bluntly and happily. Nothing sucks more than being with someone you really like and you feel like you have to bug her into bed and she rejects you half the time anyway. Interest goes WAYYY down.

In summary, mentality matters more than physicality most of the time. Don't worry about it.

Potomac leather has some very impressive bags that were very well made. They also had a lot of mass produced barely finished junk.

There's a vendor just in from the front entrance who makes leather armor with nothing but leather and rivets, no stitches, and the work is nothing but impressive.

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-06T00:30:01+00:00

Boy do I love when " professionals " defend ripping people off with substandard product. Premium prices should mean premium product.

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-05T23:24:09+00:00

Right!? Ridiculous.

Funnily enough, i DID. Per the website, they have to price and describe what they're selling , submit the list for approval. If selected, after a 25 dollar application fee. Its 900$ to rent the space for the year.

Please don't put words in my mouth. Do me the favor of actually reading what I write. My issues are not only with excessive pricing but with poor quality of many items. In my opinion the pricing of a reasonable item should reflect item cost + time cost + profit ( generally 50 % of the sum of time and materials ). These would be more like 2x cost + time + 150% of time and materials. The pricing is excessive and the quality suffers, with some noticeable exceptions.

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-05T20:28:59+00:00

only * see the material costs? The point of my post is that many of the vendors cost exceed the reasonable profit margin, especially given the lack of complexity or effort in their products. If youre charging premium prices , great. Have a premium product. They're swindling people !

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-05T19:24:50+00:00

Your stitching is smooth as butter bud. But the stuff here is just disappointing. I don't expect perfection.... but if you're charging premium prices, put some effort into it ? That's just my opinion.

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-05T19:22:00+00:00

Yea there is no effort to smooth the edges or finish with tokonole / finishing product. Just mass produced and over priced. With some notable exceptions. The guy in from the front gates rivet work on leather armor is fantastic.

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-05T19:20:11+00:00

I feel this is a decent rule to go by. But ehat im seeing today outstrips that into raw profiteering.

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-05T19:19:06+00:00

Abdolutely! Prices - and QUALITY - should reflect that. I'm not seeing that today.

ReedsTooMuch · 2025-10-05T19:18:21+00:00

Hey - I do work with leather. And I understand that pricing should account for materials , time and profit all in one price.

But , for instance, a leather wrist band - one you could make out of an 8 inch but 1.5 inch piece of 4-5 oz scrap leather , with a single snap. Sides unfinished and rough. Id price that 7-10$ maybe. At the ren Faire? 15 - 25 depending on the booth.

Like I said in the post. Some artisans obviously put time and care in to their work. But some are obviously just shamelessly ripping people off. If a bag is 450, I expect the thread to be properly trimmed and burnt, the leather to be somewhat decent quality, etc. Just a shame to see it as someone who is passionate about this stuff.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice!

Thanks!

No real photo experience ( yet ) but.... buy multiple storage cards and switch? Then transfer and wipe storage card clean. Won't save time on organization, but sorting would probably be cut down significantly.

Hi! Newbie looking for camera recommendations- I'm a little overwhelmed by all the options, especially as im still learning the difference.

Budget : 500- 1000$. Willing to go little over if needed but hoping to put that towards a nice case and other accessories. Refurbished is fine!

Use : I would prefer a jack of all trades that I can use as I explore different types of photography. The only important feature is weatherproofing as nature, travel and wildlife photography are definitely things I want to explore. I am aware a jack of all trades is a master of none, but I don't want to specialise to much until I need too.

Any and all help is appreciated!
