I love to iron. I'm thinking of starting an ironing business called
"Iron Maiden".... LOL. Wonder how many peeps would be interested in using my skills? I love to iron sheets, pillowcases, shirts, and even underwear (of course it must be clean underwear barf)

CIB, I'm an old "f**t" and still I iron them....

[LELANDJANE]

OK, Kathie, I'll tell my fiancee to bring his things on over. Please be sure to let him know what you mean by "Iron Maiden"!

I can't wait to meet you when I get there in August. You just might be as crazy as I am! lol

In the days of permanent press sheets I NEVER TOUCHED AN IRON TO MY SHEETS. Now that the sheets are 400-600 thread count, they MUST be ironed. As for the undergarments, those days are gone forever. I do, however, llike to iron..........it keeps me out of the POLITICAL threads here.

Sounds like you are saying that you no longer wear undergarments!!! LOL

Shirl...perhaps I should be a little more worried about you....instead of Kathie!!

As for political....LOL....I have tried to stay out...but posted 1 small item and it exploided!! I am always stirring the pot!!

[graciegirl]

I don't iron many things anymore. Blouses...with collars and cuffs BUT my new friends in TV iron everything they wear (that can be seen) I was always a run-to-the-dryer-and hang-it-up-and-if-it-lays-there-and-gets-wrinkled-throw-it back=in-the wash-person. My friends iron knit tops and permaprest shorts. !!!

Maybe I need new friends.:shrug:




JUST KIDDING!!!!!

This will show you how crazy I really am.....
I take my sheets to the laundry to be starched and ironed :22yikes:

[conn8757]

Oh no! People take irons to TV???? I always thought clothes came out of the dryer "good enough" for me. I am going to have to blame not having any creases on "my husband did the laundry," that will be the story I stick to.

[PR1234]

Hey gals I'll let you in on a little secret. I used to be the ironing queen until I found the product Wrinkle Releaser. This stuff is GOLD, should've bought stock in it:laugh: The best part is you don't have to buy the expensive Downey brand you can just use the generic from dollar stores and it works just as well....seriously try it, you will LOVE it:coolsmiley:

[nONIE]

PR1234,

Wow! after just finishing ironing the last of 21 of hubs dress shirts (I sort of let the pile build up for awhile) I am really happy to hear about " wrinkle releaser). Does it work on those really wrinkled cottons?

Thanks so much for the time saving tip!

Also ,I am totally frustrated with my so called "steam Iron" Does anyone know of a really good steam iron that actually gets hot and produces alot of steam?

[KathieI]

Nonie, have you tried the Rowenta (?) I think that's the name. They are a little pricey but very good. I currently have a Farberware and I love it. I think the secret is, pay a little more and it works a lot better.

You ironed 21 shirts?? You wanna come into the business with me, sounds like your very experienced.

Kathie,

It took me 6 mos. to do them!!!! LOL

[ConeyIsBabe]

I have to confess........

I don't own an iron :shrug:

and I sleep on un-ironed sheets :shrug:

Does that mean I won't fit-in TV ? :faint:

[nONIE]

I think it means....... your one smart lady!!!!

Isnt it amazing how life goes on just fine without one????:laugh:

[Boomer]

I must confess. I have been a secret ironer for a long time. Yes. I like it. I like it a lot. So now. There. The secret is out. But I do only shirts and khakis. I am not quite as far gone as you sheet ironers.

I also like to do laundry. And I love to work on spots. Gimme that red wine! So there again. More confessions.

I always thought I liked this stuff because, unlike parts of my career, at the end of a basket of laundry or ironing, I could at least see what I had accomplished. There is a psychology to the joy of ironing I do believe.

And Kathie, I love the name of your business. Iron Maiden.

Boomer

[KathieI]

Boomer, ok, I confess now too

I stole it.... I'm not that creative. A woman in Los Angeles had a business with that name and she did all my ironing, but she was expensive. :eek:

Kath http://www.millan.net/minimations/smileys/flowerysmile.gif (http://www.millan.net)

[Boomer]

Kathie, it is a great name anyway.

Here I go pretty much off topic for a minute, but I have to tell you a name that I have for a business. I do not know if anyone has used it or not. But that would be OK because it is a business I will never open.

You know when buildings get demolished and all that equipment is there with the big wrecking balls and stuff. Well, if I am in the area, I cannot help but watch. It is a fascinating process. And sometimes, of course, they just implode those buildings. I have watched that from afar. Like on television.

I always wanted to open a business in that business and I would call my business "Edifice Wrecks." (I wonder if that would make me sound like an English major.)

Well, back to ironing.

OMG, Tonyyyyy, she really is an English major!! What's an edifice?
:girlneener: :sigh: :oops:

[Boomer]

:girlneener: :sigh: :oops:


Ohhhhhhh noooooooo, Kathie, please have mercy. Please do not holler for Tony. I just meant....oh you know....Oedipus the King..... Oedipus Rex, Greek tragedy by Sophocles I think. BC. Long ago. Tragic hideous mess. Miserable ending. Ohhhhhhhh. Oedipus' name lives on in psychology books. And my business name.....Ohhhhhh. Oedipus/Edifice/Building -- Rex/Wrecks.

Ohhhhhh Kathie, please don't go get Tony. He will get me. Tony and that English major hangup he has. Ohhhhh, noooooo. Please don't tell Tony. Sometimes I forget. Or try to. And then it just comes out in me. Ohhhhh, I don't know why. I should know better. I had a good friend in my younger days who would lie about her major when she met guys she liked. If they found out she was an English major, they would flee she thought or at least move down another bar stool. Why oh why didn't I just keep ironing and not start typing today.

I gotta get outa here. I think I see Tony with his torch and his pitchfork. Ohhhhhhhh noooooo...........:22yikes:

Boomer

[nONIE]

:girlneener: :sigh: :oops:


my 1916 dictionary states: Edifice-A large building, a large abstract structure

do you think the meaning of this word has changed over the years?

[tony]

Only an English major would know about Oedipus the King. Who was he anyhow?

I would like to start a pool here. Everybody put in a quarter and guess a date when Boomer will confess. She would suggest that half the pot go to the winner, half to charity and half to the second place guesser. She is not a math major.

Hey! You forgot the 4th half. Designated to the library. Fiction only.

Tony, maybe if we tickle her feet, she'll confess!! I'll guess that Boomer will confess by tomorrow!! What do you think?

[tony]

Hey, I'm not getting into the tickling. They have a name for that. We should ask a psychiatrist what it is.

She is a tough bird. She will not confess.

[njgranny]

I'm a take-it-out of the dryer gal. The only time I iron things is if we're going on a cruise (or some other type of vacation).

I used to love to iron and got satisfaction in seeing the basket empty. Remember the days of the sprinkling bottle?

[katezbox]

... in college, I used to lie about my major, too. I was a (GASP) Accounting Major. Do you know how boring and/or intimidating that was for college-age guys?

I used to lie and say I was an English or History major. Seemed to work better.

k

BTW - one issue with accountants is that many of us are not into reading. I made a reference at work once to "Who is John Galt?" and my co-workers looked at me as if I had spinach in my teeth.

PS - and Boomer I love "Edifice Wrecks".

PPS - Tony isn't Oedipus Rex a close relation to Tyrannosaurus Rex?

[Boomer]

Kate, Tony thinks that Oedipus Rex is related to Mr. Oed, that talking horse.

Boomer

....and you lied and said you were an English major?????? That's interesting.

[graciegirl]

If you want to see people back up, try being a psych major.

[tony]

Speaking of psych majors, "Does anyone know of anyone in or around tv that does ironing for individuals?"

[graciegirl]

I wonder how much ironing costs these days. Does anyone know? I HATED ironing and I was also tight back then, so I did my own. It must cost a thousand dollars a basket nowadays for the aggravation of it.
