Jacket deep clean help?

I’m cleaning my everyday wear leather jacket for the first time and am struggling with a couple things:

- The most worn and grimy area around the collar is pilling as I scrub it. How do I avoid this while also getting the grime off? I’m trying warmer water but even just wiping it with a cloth is taking off material. Is there something I can do to minimize this? Is there something I can do after it’s clean to smooth out the scaliness? It’s not peeling like it’s bonded, just pilling little bits.

- It’s been a while since I put hubbards on it (about a year) so some of the leather is really taking on water as I saddle soap and wipe it with a damp cloth. I’m guessing the thing to do about this is to just air dry it quite slowly. Is there anything I should do to avoid mildew while it dries?

- Should I use cream polish? Wax polish? Just leather oil or conditioner? Last time I used Hubbards for waterproofing and it left a tacky feeling. Unsure if I just over-conditioned it and that caused it? It felt okay about a month after.

I know I abuse this jacket. I would like to take care of it I’m just not quite sure how.

Latest shop work.

New Model Corcoran Snap Zippers.

These were practically untouched as it was, and required very little, but the showcase for them was too pretty not to share after the light Neutrogena, Saphir, and Huberds go over.

Happy Shining!

Stauffers

Im surprised there isnt more talk about this classic frozen isle steeple. Their mac and meatloaf kept me well for a long while. Its changed, in taste and size,. But its still oretty decent, especially getting the family size and cooking it in volume.

I didnt know what to flair,.so . Showcased with an exclamation. ( ! )

Its a long shot but..

Yellow stuffed rabbit in Chandler, Arizona about 2009.

It was wrongfully donated. The rabbit featured a few light stains, a pink, hard nose and a lullaby music box with a turn key from just under its bum. White tummy.

If you have something like this, please let me see it.

Im prepared to finance whatever it takes to have her returned.

She was my birth stuffie.

35F • Looking for Friends, Chatting and Gaming Mutuals!

Honestly, its pretty new for me to play online with others since I left Runescpe of all places in 2006/7.

I play a lot of ACNH these days, and even started a server for Alt/Punk/Goth/Grunge Women of ACNH, garnering some 20+ members the last couple months who have all become awesome friends, but are also busy with various things as most of us are leaving some pretty big gaps in someone being available to game with or just to be in the same ongoing communal conversations.

I would genuinely like to meet and learn some new humans and see how things fit. Gaming subjects, food, travel. Im open to it all! Especially hosting on my island. I know Stardew is huge right now, and Im considering getting that as well, but I do find ACNH to be pretty fulfilling right now of games in that general style. Come change my mind? 😜

(25+ only, please.)

How To Move In If..

I make over 1800 a month with Delivery driving for a major pizza chain.

How do I prove to a new apartment complex I make more than 3x rent when half or more is on tips?

I do get Nightly cashouts which show hours worked and tips brought home, and getting a visual of my static hourly wage isnt a big deal. Pay stubs will come, but Ive never moved into a place before working a tip forward job.

Former Full Time Graffiti/Aerosol Artist [not authorized] AMA

So, to put it plainly, I was a graffiti artist from my early teens into my later twenties. I am now in my mid thirties.

None of my work was 'commissioned' or done with the express written permission of an acceptable practice by the cities or towns I painted in.

To get a few things clear, I will not disclose the name I used when I actively painted. The anonymity remains. But I dont mind sharing other names I've used in my art after this era, I will also not share the towns I painted in, but the cities I dont mind disclosing.

So I have a Query..

Im planning to move from Kansas to Massachusetts into an apartment. (Realistically, about 2k a mo.)

How do I prove income reliance coming from out of state?

Even with a job lined up, I need to have somewhere to live when I get there to do the job and survive.

Lets say they want to know those moving in need 3x the rent to be approved, do I just provide my job information including wages and monthly income regardless of not having a pay stub I can provide until first or second paycheck to back those figures up?

How does one do this?

Other Alternative Girls playing?

Im always on the hunt for "My people".

I grew up one of the alternative/punky Goth kids in school and I guess I held some warm ties long after.

Id love to assemble an alt girls group together sometime but I'll start with friends for now!

5 Stars Benefits?

I gotta be honest, the only reason Im not already is an overabundance of trees. Save for the lily of the valleys, which I have loads of anyway, is there any perk to 5 star rating?

Im not going to sacrifice the energy of my island for nothing.

What do you want to see in the next Major update? [4.0?]

There's such a list of things Id like to see new and changed.

Soccerballs and volleyball should be able to be played with, just like the beach ball. Not static.

•More flowers

•The ability to get in the pools/make your own pools

•To dig at walls with things above and have them just be put into my inventory instead of having to remove them to break the wall down first.

•Ability to plant trees on ledges. That whole too close to the edge thing is silly and pointless, and leaves unnecessary gap.

•More House Options;

Building your own in more respects. More rooms available. Fridge and freezer usable for food goods you cook and collect like fruits and veggies instead of being an optional Closet??? For clothes???

Pointless.

•Different fence designs, including gates that open and close.

Etc..etc...etc...
