The Nominee

Here's the politically correct one.

Good gull! Didn't have time for Photoshopping -- late for our Mother's Day gathering.

Hopefully, the third time will be the charm...

:angry: Ooooh!!!! You hit a nerve there with me...I am STILL bitter that I'm not an Eagle Scout!!

I actually did join the Boy Scouts! It was actually an April Fools prank that the Den Mother was pulling on her troup. But for about 5 minutes, I was a scout!

Hopefully, the third time will be the charm...

No, it wasn't!

Paging tech support!!!

I'm steaming it in the picture. I don't think it's possible to iron a flag that big without letting it touch the floor. Further, I think it's probably verboten to iron a flag. I don't know...they wouldn't let me join boy scouts!

It's perfectably acceptable to press a flag. Don't ask how I already knew this, but here is proof positive. Such a large one, I would have ironed it folded, then unfolded gradually, so as no touch the floor. I would have used a towel over it so as not to burn it isnce it's probably polyester, and ironed at low setting.

Steaming works too though.

the iron maiden speaks!

well, I say wrinkles add character...

Not only do wrinkles add character, but they also are GREEN, requiring no additional electricity nor small appliance.

Green wrinkles...that sounds especially attractive...bleh!

I agree. Wrinkled Shrek, and a wrinkled incredible Hulk...bothersome images.

I typically employ the "shake it really hard" or in extreme cases "put it in the dryer w/ a damp washcloth" methods instead of ironing.

I wrinkle clothes even more quickly than I spill on them, so ironing is a waste of time IMO!

The shower curtain rod also works well--hang it and take a nice, hot shower...

Then I do my part for the environment every day. Sorry, Mango. I can't find my iron, if I even still own one

Hey, Earthsavers -- you're all busted! Wrinkles are a product of a dryer. If you are hanging your wash on a clothesline, especially with our hard water, you get crisp, unwrinkled clothes.

My HE4 was featured in Dwell as the ultimate green (or in this case orange) appliance. I use Seventh Generation lavender = blue eucalyptus detergent and fabric softener...so I'm doing my part to save the Earth despite my iron and/or steamer. 1300 rpms are whirling away at this very moment, guaranteeing about 12 minutes total in the dryer, tops.

Carry on, posers.

Wrinkles are also a product of having a small overstuffed closet and a tendency to try on 5 outfits and pile the rejects on the bed for hours/days.

My allergy doctor won't let me use my clothesline anymore. I have a GORGEOUS clothesline that will handle multiple sets of sheets and probably every stitch of clothing I own...very sad that it sits empty...

My wrinkles come from wadding up my clothes in a chair.

Oh my gosh. I can't even describe to you all about my issues with wrinkles.

1. I have enough on my face to look like my head's been in the dryer for months. :angry:

2. Mr. DD taking my stuff out of the dryer and cramming it in a basket could just be the reason I eventually divorce him.

DD 2 things: I came over to see what in the world you were doing on the political thread! And to tell you my son bought some homeade p-nut brittle yesterday and it was crappy compaired to yours.

I am touched and gratified by how thoroughly this thread has been hijacked, from ironing to wrinkles/hygiene to peanut brittle. SoWallers are the best at wandering off topic--my students would be inspired! :funn:

Darling, I've read more political threads in the last three days than in my entire life. Thank you....that just might get you another batch.

I love clotheslines...for sheets, not towels.

mr. IBD gets upset at me about not hanging up his tshirts immediately when they come out of the dryer. I politely tell him that he can launder his own tshirts And DD, you do not have lots of wrinkles..

Well, God luv him, he does do his own laundry. Maybe I'll keep him around for a while if I can break him from cramming my stuff in baskets.

Yep, they're there.

A joke for Smiley J...

Presidential candidates Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Mc Cain > were flying to a debate.

Barack looked at Hillary, Chuckled and said, "You know I could throw a
$1,000 bill out of the window right now and make somebody very happy."

Hillary shrugged her shoulders and replied, "I could throw ten $100 bills out of the window and make ten people very happy."

John added, "That being the case, I could throw one hundred $10 bills out of
the window and make a hundred people very happy."

Hearing their exchange, the pilot rolled his eyes and said to his copilot,
"Such big-shots back there. I could throw all three of them out of the
window and make 156 million people very happy."

I'm voting for the pilot .
