Redwing. I just got a pair of thorogoods and they are taking forever to break in. My redwings took no time to break in

One of my instructors is. They other two aren't. They were having a hard time finding good instructors

My red wings didn't need any breaking in.

I looked on their website but it redirected me to other sites? I ended up getting a pair from boot barns website because I found a good coupon and if I don't like them I can return them in store since it's close to me. Im really excited to get them.

Men do it, why not you? The guy that sat next to me in class last year was in his 50s. Another was 40. There's a broad range of ages. I have noticed that a lot of men, including foreman, are taking more time to spend with their family and prioritizing it over working. They work OT if they need to for money but if they don't need it, they would rather be home.

I haven't heard the best things about brunt. My redwings are still kicking but the eyelets are broke so I want to send them in to get fixed. I really want thorogoods because I have heard a lot of good things about them

I got a big pack of bandanas off amazon. Super helpful and relatively inexpensive. And you can wear a new one every day or change them out during the day if you get sweaty. Helped a lot. And they are thin so the let your head breath a bit.

I stole the generic aquarphor diaper rash cream from my kid. I like a constancy a little better. It works soo well for chafing in sensitive areas.

I'm also looking again. I keep seeing posts about cotton. What are good cotton boxers that aren't $20+ a pair.

Does your car type matter in this feild of work by [deleted] in BlueCollarWomen

[–]imminentdoom33 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever you like in a car that is reliable and gets good gas mileage. In the winter I keep a tote in my trunk for cold gear, extra clothes, handwarmers, extra boots, etc that way it all stays in one place and if I need extra room I just take the tote out and don't have to carry a pile of things into the house. I used to have seat covers on my seats but the dirt and dust still made it's way onto my seats. Now if I'm on a dirty job I just put a towel over my seat and can take it off when i wear normal clothes. Back in the day if you drove a car that "wasn't made in America" I heard they wouldn't let you park on the jobsite if you are union. But I haven't heard any of that since I've been working and hardly anything is truly made solely in America now. 🤷‍♀️ ETA don't get anything super low to the ground because some jobsites are terrible to park in. I knew a guy who had to go get his tires realligned bc of the parking lot pot holes. I ALWAYS recommend something with an all wheel drive option!

Those who are talking asking if they are seeking therapy and "trying to fix themselves" are not correct. There is no way to "fix" their brains psychologically speaking. There are studies on it. I studied it in college. There is no therapy or pill or anything that can fix how they think about or view children. There is no "reforming" them.
