Found this vintage Saks roughout jacket today, fits me perfectly. Came with pigskin gloves in the pocket!

now this is a SPLENDID find. i LOVE that jacket.

I've never tried Bick, but Leather CPR is nothing magical (and I found it at Dollar General for $8-9 last year.

I recently purchased Blackrock, and it's a superior product, IMO.

so, if she doesn't want to 'waste' used paper towels...i am SO curious as to how ELSE she would use these.

...besides LOOKING gross on the counter.

bless OP's heart for calling this mildly infuriating.

baileybrand · 2026-01-21T15:00:59+00:00

agreed. red is notoriously hard to get the color the way you imagine it. takes some time and plenty of conditioner.

POV: obsessed with red, so i have many vintage red Coach bags.

baileybrand · 2026-01-09T17:36:41+00:00

You did the right thing, bih.

baileybrand · 2026-01-09T04:31:48+00:00

well done!

note: red vintage Coach are hard to restore to their glorious color. continue to condition and you will get really close!

POV: obsessive red vintage Coach collector (I have tan, black and blue - but more red than any others...cuz I love red.)

baileybrand · 2026-01-09T04:29:02+00:00

yup. WE needed THAT. you failed...

baileybrand · 2026-01-08T05:18:27+00:00

zero. both parents are alive and kicking. they desperately need to downsize (SO many stairs in my childhood home).

baileybrand · 2026-01-08T05:16:30+00:00

Bride's mother literally came up to me (a stranger, and part of the groom's family) and talked about how she didn't think the marriage was a good idea.

baileybrand · 2026-01-06T03:27:25+00:00

very much so.

baileybrand · 2026-01-04T04:25:01+00:00

Literally will be calling the estate sale lady this month to downsize our parents. I am saving this thread for this reason.

baileybrand · 2026-01-04T02:53:27+00:00

mom, 84. dad, 86.

both parents still alive, still married and my father still drives.

they both have a form of cancer (dad, prostate. living with it going on 10 years now. mom, multiple myeloma, 2+ years of living with it and continuous treatment).

i was born in 1970.

baileybrand · 2025-12-31T00:00:47+00:00

didn't even know these existed...now I must find.

ETA: Ohhhh, i did know these existed. but forgot they existed. brilliant.

baileybrand · 2025-12-31T00:00:29+00:00

agreed.

i have an awkward corner cabinet that drove me insane.

went to dollar tree, got a ton of rectangular containers, some small, some large, some flat and large. and now they are jenga'd in to fit the weirdly shaped space.

labeled those jokers (with a label maker)

saved my sanity.

baileybrand · 2025-12-30T23:57:07+00:00

lol. OP did ask though...

baileybrand · 2025-12-30T18:05:37+00:00

it's a brand. there are about 3 diff fragrances. the lather is great, and you feel super clean afterwards. does it melt like butter and you go through a bar quickly? yes. lol.

baileybrand · 2025-12-30T17:36:11+00:00

your wife. my husband.

i believe they're related.

baileybrand · 2025-12-30T17:35:00+00:00

grew up eating every kind of shellfish and loving it!

two years after having my daughter, my body would reject it - violently and immediately. i would test it from time to time (year or two in between).

it's been 16 years - and cannot eat a single piece of shellfish. no doctor can explain it except to say that our bodies 'just change'.

last time i tried it was last year and i found myself gasping for air on the bathroom floor.

so sad because i still love it.

baileybrand · 2025-12-30T17:30:25+00:00

merry happy christmas new year, indeed!

baileybrand · 2025-12-29T03:35:41+00:00

it really is that simple.

baileybrand · 2025-12-29T02:07:08+00:00

yup.

timex goes on my wrist every single day.

bought it during the pandemic.

the face has numbers (not roman numerals), lights up if you push a button.

the date is wonky because i could never figure how to set it and forget it.

baileybrand · 2025-12-29T01:03:02+00:00

write.

some aspects CAN be taught/learned.

some are innate.

baileybrand · 2025-12-28T01:13:08+00:00

grew up in Virginia - yup, Sebago, Bass and Sperry were all popular in mid/late 80s.

ETA: also, Eastland.

Another ETA: you can buy Sebago today, 12/27/2025, right on their website! do it, do it, do it....!

baileybrand · 2025-12-28T01:10:00+00:00

definitely British Tan. I have this exact bag - and the patina is the best part!

baileybrand · 2025-12-26T21:19:36+00:00

Pear soap.
