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!

Ironing is the only thing I hate worse than folding clothes.

T-shirts ironed. Levis ironed! I swore that when I grew up that nothing in
the world could force me to be that anal <g>

And, can you please explain to me how I produced an undie folder?

Hah! I grew up ironing every damn thing. We ironed sheets, work
shirts, work pants. I swear, we even ironed rags AND FOLDED THEM.

The only part of this that has stuck with me is folding underwear. I
also hang up other clothes so that they don't wrinkle. I don't do a
lot of ironing though. It's hard, but I've learned to just wear the
damn clothes because no one notices.

Marie, who tends to wear jeans and tops that don't need ironing
