            Iron Heart forum tip/hack:

            I am set to default log in for 60 minutes. maybe that's most of us? (it can probably be changed)

            Anyhow have you ever had a long post or reply typed up and when you went to click post it said you were a guest because your default log in time ended? It's happened to me too many times and it's frustrating.

            What i do is:

            1. go back to the last page
            2. copy the text you have typed up
            3. go to the top of the page and log back in.
            4. Get to where you were posting and paste the text before posting the message

            Not sure if this will help anyone, but if you are like me where your thoughts can quickly jumble and it's hard to remember your thoughts you had typed, it could save you some frustration of having to retype the entire message.

                  I keep a spray bottle full of diluted Dr Bronners for spot cleans. Spray til damp, agitate, and rinse. Works really well on dirty cuffs.

                    Used to swear by Dr. Bronners in the old days. That stuff’s gotten expensive…relative to what I used to pay for it.

                      I like to use this Evercare fabric shaver on my old UHFs to remove the pills and make them silky smooth. Do this at your own peril and USE THE GUARD or you could put a small hole in your shirt.

                      I gave the outside and the inside of the sleeves a little off the top 😄

                          So many inappropriate comments going around in my head right now I don't know what to do….  😢 Is there a mod around here who can let me know the policy on sex toy gags? :o

                                A car scissor jack also works a treat on the Waist band.

                                In fact, that's the best use for them…Dangerous under a car!!

                                  Gotta say thanks for the car jack tip… I dampened the waistband and I used my car scissor jack to gently stretch out my new 555 25oz’ers and it’s made fastening them that much easier😊

                                  Still need to work on the fly buttons but they will get better with wear I’m sure🥵

                                    Use a needle nose pliers to stretch the button holes.

                                        ok… buoyed by my success on the 25's I thought I'd give the black 21's  a (gentle)  :o
                                        stretch in the waist to ease them out - F**k!!

                                        just asked the crew if the button can be replaced??
