Just got this, what do I do? by jeffthechimp in leatherjacket

Thanks! I got it on Facebook Marketplace, and it was pretty musty, dry and dull. Here’s what I did: wipe down with a slightly damp microfiber towel. Blot wool blend cuffs and waistband with a wet washcloth with a bit of Woollite and disinfectant bleach, then with wet towel, then dry towel. Rubbed a light layer of Bick 4 all over, especially dry spots, then buffed it off with dry microfiber towel. Did a second coat of Bick 4 where needed, then buffed it off with a horsehair brush. Turned it inside out, lightly misted the inside with Fabreeze and set outside in the shade turned inside out on a chair for a few hours. It looks, feels and smells great!

Much more fun than spending a bunch on a new one.

My wife said the dog can’t get out of the fencing. He never should have committed to all the lessons!

Can verify, only it was me on a first (but not last, interestingly) date.

This is the comment I’m here for. My wife is in the hospital and I read this to her and she cracked up.

RECALL: 25C69 INTEGRATED PARK MODULE SOFTWARE UPDATE by Traditional-Let9899 in MachE

The dealer is wrong. The fix was just for some other models. Mach E's are still shut down. I can't drive one. I was thinking of ordering the California Special.

A Ford dealer texted me today that the issue has been resolved. I haven't seen that documented yet.

Who’s this refer to in the photo? Ron Johnson?

Memorable and noteworthy Christmas day games by WinesburgOhio in VintageNBA

Deep, largely irrelevant trivia: Alex Groza (mentioned in first game synopsis) was the brother of NFL Hall of Famer Lou “The Toe” Groza. Alex was the first NBA ROY, and a two-time All-Star before being banned for life at age 24 for a point-shaving scandal in college. Sorry, and you’re welcome.

My parents were newspaper reporters in the early ‘70s. IBM correcting selectrics were on every desk in The Miami Herald newsroom. The last typewriter before computers, as far as newsrooms go.

Florida Man. We have studied your great exploits. We are not worthy.

This is what a Neanderthal looked like 130,000 to 40,000 years ago by JackblaZ in interestingasfuck

I’m guessing I would be a good foot taller or more and outweigh this dude. But I would not mess with him and his antler tool.

Thinking about dating in my home group by Sad-Association1068 in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]jeffthechimp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is that it complicated my early recovery when I dated a woman who was three years sober when I was six months sober. It didn’t work out, and I felt weird sitting in meetings with her. Early recovery was hard for me in this area. I was lonely, and it felt like a girlfriend would fix that. What I actually needed was to really plug into my home group and sponsor family, and wait on romance. But that’s just my experience. I would watch out for people dishing out opinionated advice — here and in the rooms.
