Hot Metal Thing

You guys all talk about ironing 100% cotton...what's up with that? I just take mine out of the dryer while it's still going and straight to a hanger, any wrinkles left just add texture and interest Sancy

Another new picture. I didn't recognize you, either. Wowsa! Looking good, Sancy! Jeanie

Glad I', not the only one who thinks "ironing" is a dirty word! I'm addiscted to Downy Wrinkle Release spray...not as crisp an outcome...but WAY quicker, and my dry cleaning bills have gone down! (Cause that's the ONLY way I get ironed clothes, lol)

lol......Jeanie your a trip. Forget ironing though...come over to the lazy mans side...lol. Use a hand held steamer....and it the cloths are too wrinkled then throw them into the dryer for a few minutes (if the cloths are super wrinkled or have deep set wrinkles throw in a lightly dampened wash cloth with it. I'm telling you....ironing sucks big time....i prefer only to use mine on dress cloths.

Hmmmm...I thought this post would be a lot different than it is...some weird ritual or something. Well, actually, I believe that an iron is a satanic cult object, meant to torture the masses. I hate ironing and will only do it one piece at a time...right before I put it on. My clothes rarely even make it out of my laundry basket and into their proper drawers! Michelle

Hijack! OMG - look at you! Another beautiful picture. Wow, no wonder everyone is commenting you look totally different. Valerie

I've been putting my clothes in another bedroom. I started out with things folded and thrown on a chair. Then some were thrown on the exercise bike seat. Then some were draped over the handlebars. Then my mother sent me 6 bags of clothing that she's undergrown. They were tossed on the floor. I've been digging through them and pulling things out. Stuff that doesn't fit goes on another chair. Other things get hung on the bars of the elliptical. Shoes and luggage round out the mess. When I was in there yesterday, I could barely get the door open all the way. I think it's time for a major clean up. The cat likes to sneak in there and hide. Jeanie Founding Member of the St. Louis Chapter 836 of Slobs Anonymous

An Iron?? What's that??? Duh!! I had a hanger to keep my iron and ironing board on, it hung on the back side of the laundery room door. We moved and it was 18 months before I realized that I had left it hanging right where it was in the old house!!!! Didn't use it but once in a blue moon!!! Patty

I am such a domestic goddess that I don't even OWN an ironing board! Hey, I'm still in cutoffs and t-shirts, so no need for an iron really. Last time Hubby had to dress up for his job, I ironed on the kitchen table! That was a hoot! And I'm sure my "hot metal thing" is some sort of antique by now! LeaAnn

I'm doing the same thing,,, and my personal tip is to adjust the height to fit a chair and put on a good movie and iron away. I do it about every other weekend.
