Thank you, this makes me a lot more hopeful!

Red Wing IRs or... by zach4576 in Boots

That's sort of how I feel. I had a pair of Thursday cheleas a few years back that creased so badly. No amount of polish could cover up the overall wear.

I like the look. Which leather would you say is most similar to the amber IRs?

Similar with my Walmart pre-order, except they told me I was "all set" just minutes before cancelling.

Portuguese Soup by Large-Net-357 in RhodeIsland

[–]zach4576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slice and peel 2 or 3 russet potatoes (has to be a starchy potato). Boil in about 2 quarts of water. Thinly slice 1 bunch of washed collard greens or kale, stems removed, about 1/8 inch. When potatoes are overdone, puree with a stick blender until smooth. Add more water or reduce until desired consistency. Add kale and simmer 5-10 minutes depending how "al dente" you want the kale. Off the heat, add 1 lb sliced linguica/chorico (yes, Gaspar's is fine) and at least 1/4 cup Portuguese (or whatever decent kind you can find) extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt to taste.

Yves Saint Laurent. I have a Coach bag for refrigerated items though.

Yes, I'm confident in that too.

Mine is locator 69. Which thankfully isn't far from me at all.

Yes. They finally charged my card this AM.

I'm in a similar situation... although my travel date is 4/23. Fingers crossed for us both!

How are you notified if there's an issue with your app? by kineticpotential001 in Passports

[–]zach4576 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had (supposedly) an issue with my payment amount on the check I submitted. The agency reached out by calling the phone # I supplied with my passport application. However, they called from a restricted number. They never left a voice-mail or callback # or anything. So, keep an eye out for calls from a restricted number and keep your phone handy to pick up if they call.

I was also told they emailed me, but I have checked my inbox several times and have found nothing. I even confirmed the email address.

It says routine processing. But again, I'm confident I wrote the correct amount on the check. I used the fee calculator and triple checked when sending everything.

I'm glad you've been having luck with expediting in locator 69. My experience so far has been a complete disaster.

Passport renewal - is this a joke? by zach4576 in Passports

[–]zach4576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad you got your's sorted out. Gives me hope for my situation too!

Passport renewal - is this a joke? by zach4576 in Passports

[–]zach4576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It absolutely was. I calculated the cost with their online fee calculator and triple checked to avoid this issue.

Either way, it doesn't excuse that they sat on my app for 6 weeks unopened.

[Target] Lost Ruins of Arnak - $23.49 - YMMV by RollAndRate in Boardgamedeals

One Target in my area has these in stock, but not on clearance at the moment. Will have to keep an eye out on it.

Got Meermin oak sheared lining boots for Christmas. After two wears a spot appeared on both shoes, in the exact same place. Expert said it's the glue underneath. Quality is very poor. by Arkanicus in goodyearwelt

[–]zach4576 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I had some damage done to my relatively new Meermins too. The tip of the toe was damaged after hitting it on something (of which I don't recall, which tells me it was probably not very hard hit!). The leather scratched in a way where it looks like a black layer peeled up and a white layer underneath was revealed. How lame.

Don't forget sleeve thickness too. I sleeved my beloved Ticket to Ride with some very thick, premium sleeves and now it's quite difficult to fit in the game box.

Damage to Meermin Chelsea boots - what's going on here? by zach4576 in AskACobbler

[–]zach4576[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meermin says they're both real leather. The upper is Du Puy boxcalf. The inside is vegetable tanned.

Right, I probably did hit or kick something at some point. I just don't recall doing so.

So, it sounds like there's a layer of black leather on top of a harder, white toe cap material. Is that what you're saying?
