Hot Metal Thing

Hubby dragged out the ironing board and iron for me today. It's literally been years since I've ironed anything. (Susie Homemaker, I am not!) The thing actually still works. I guess that's the price I am going to pay for wearing cotton clothes that fit instead of draping polyester stretchy things over my body. Small price. I was afraid I was going to have to Google for directions on how to use it. Jeanie

Jeanie- Do you have a pepsi or RC bottle with one of those sprinkle things on the top. Or how about laundry in the refrigerator? Red

Oh my! Mom used to keep damp clothes in the refrigerator and used a Pepsi bottle with one of those holy tops. LOL! Back then, I thought it was fun to iron hankies.

Jeanie, don't you know that is how they tried to indoctrinate us little girls. Hankies were always the first step. I do not even own any real hankerchiefs any more. Back then we always had hankerchiefs. Even if you carried tissues -- you were suppose to have a hankerchief. I remember moving this one hankerchief (it had lace edges) from my church purse to my school purse -- back and forth -- back and forth. I never used it all I ever did was move it. Red

Boy aren't we dating ourselves....lol...I remember as a kid before we had clothes dryers hanging the clothes out on the line in the middle of winter and bringing them in frozen solid.......then again we also had our milk delivered by horse and buggy and the "ice man" would bring the ice to us to keep the food cold...and the Breadman would come every other day .To heck with the ironing Jeanie, I use a steamer - if I have to.....

Maureen, I remember all those things too. In the winter, the cream on top of the milk would pu****s way up above the top of the bottle....it looked like a white push-up pop. And the ice man used to chip off a piece of ice for each kid to suck on....a taste of heavan on a hot day. And Wonder Bread bakery used to make these little loaves of Wonder bread (smaller than the loaves you get on a little breadboard in a restaurant) and the grocer would sometimes hand them out to us kids. We ate them sans butter or anything...they tasted so good. If all this ages me, so be it...I'm already going to be the oldest person on this forum to have had the DS. Sharon S.

Red, I remember Phyllis Diller joking about this all the time! She would accidentally serve Fang a salad with a shirt in it because the shirt was in the fridge ready to be ironed! That brought back funny memories. Michelle

Michelle, I didn't recognize you! Your original picture already showed a pretty woman, but you're looking beautiful now! Beth
