Oh lordy, will my age ever be showing <g>  When I was but a mere child <g> I 
earned money ironing clothes.  When the ex and I were first married, I did 
that to make extra money for Christmas.  Back then I was still operating 
under the "but you have to" mentality of mother dearest and the m-i-l from 
h*ll and sent out Christmas cards to every single relative they put on the 
"you have to list."  I had to have extra money to buy all those cards and 
stamps!

Now, you couldn't pay me enough money to do anymore ironing than it takes 
when I am sewing!
