@Sheilajeanne - That one reminds me of a story my grandmother used to tell - My grandfather went to the store to buy her a bra. The clerk asked what size, he replied "I don't know". She then asked, "Well, are they the size of grapefruit?" "No". How about the size of oranges?" "No. Not that big", he replied. She asked "The size of eggs, then?" .. "Yes!" he replied. "Fried eggs". My grandparents were awesome. LOL -Bill

I got engaged once. It led to all kinds of weird life changes. - Bill

I first read the title of this post shortly after having gone out to Taco Bell .... and well ... the places my brain went..... -Bill

The conditioner used depends on the type of leather and how the leather is being used! For most of what I do, vegetable tanned leather used in belts, more rugged bags, etc I prefer a beeswax & neatfoot oil paste that I found here on LWN. I want to say the recipe was posted by @Dwight. I usually include some with every item that I make. Smaller items get a lipstick container of it, bigger items either a cupcake paper cup about half-full or I'm starting to look into silicone molds for it. For chrome tanned things that are newer and not dried out, I like Fiebings Aussie cream. I've tried others that seem to be fine for that use too. - Bill

It makes perfect sense, but ... getting dressed must have been a PAIN! LOL -Bill

You might find that disposable blades work even better after a good stropping. - Bill

All things considered, it's not horrible. I've seen less sold for more at times. That said, I agree with just about everything said above. That said, if you wanted to make your own, you could do better without too much trouble! Materials, tools, and all would probably cost less than the $100 asking price - Not including your blood, sweat and tears. - Bill

I feel your pain. I don't have hearing aids, but I do have arthritis. Many medications (including some kinds of arthritis pain medication) come in blister packaging like your batteries. They SUCK to get open. - Bill

Woke up to no water this morning. The cold caused a water main break. At least we have a nice skating rink in the street! Hope the water dept. can get it taken care of quickly.

Happy New Year

Merry Christmas!

Cut from the back side (fur-side down) using a knife NOT scissors. - Bill

That looks strangely familiar .....

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I wouldn't worry about concentrated heat from a reptile heater - an incandescent lightbulb would be exactly the same sort of heat pattern. If that worries you, put the heat sources in the bottom and a sheet of aluminum or other metal above them to spread out the heat. - Bill
