Thinkin' of Toots!

Welcome back to SoWal! Hope Kurt's taking good care of you by (1) bringing the laptop to your bed so you can keep posting; (2) singing you love songs while playing the mandolin at the foot (get it?) of the bed; (3) making you that 24 hour slow rising delicious bread recipe I posted on the food thread; (4) getting you pizza from Amore.

Wishing you a fast recooperation, Toots!

Hope you're dancing on stumps soon!!

I don't know how she does it. The blouse I'm wearing today took me 45 minutes to iron and it still didn't look that great. From now on the blouses are going to the cleaners!

I hear ya'. I IRONED a shirt at the beach. Took me forever...I almost called Mango because I forgot the order...yoke, sleeves, etc.

Don't know you - but so glad you are doing well. I am also a bionic wench (both hips), and am happy to welcome another one! You will be so happy you had the surgery, and will feel so much better. Can I send all my husband's cotton shirts down before Mango comes? Take care of yourself.

Linda, when you're raised by a Southern mama, there is most definitely an order!

:clap_1: I remember those all too well!!! I always had to iron the pillowcases and my grandfather's handkerchiefs--and they were in the frig so they wouldn't "sour"!

that should say: Goodwill!

aboard ThirtyAGal....who in the heck are you?

that should say: Goodwill!

But most of them are brand new (and worn only ONCE - lol!!!!!)

One thing is for certain, though. Next winter I buy sweaters, sweaters, and more sweaters (I never used to be able to wear them when I was a big gal - would just get too warm. But now I'm always freezing so I might as well take advantage of the situation - sweaters almost never need ironing! :clap_1:

Good thing there's a grayt photographer in the house. Extreme ironing shots while serving drinks and playing hillbilly music is quite difficult. :rofl:

You should have the order on your fridge. :roll:

Welcome bionic wench. Then that means you can dance and grind. I don't know you well enough to iron your shirts. ;-)
I am not that easy.

:roll: ..okay Mango, I will grovel.

:clap_1: ...please please please tell us the correct order you supreme extreme ironing wench.

I have never heard of the freezer trick ...do tell...

Mango's motto: Have iron will travel.

I iron collar, cuffs, sleeves then body...is this wrong?

I don't iron period...I throw in the dryer and get out and shake and wear. Sorta like "Shake and Bake, and I helllllllped".

...yep! Mine had an old Triple XXX rootbeer bottle with a sprinkler top in it that she watered the clothes with.

Kitty, I started to say earlier--not only is there an order, but there are accompanying accessories! ^5

Yes, Pea is my hero.

Mango, I promise I am not trying to dethrone you, but I think you should know I once got a job in great part to the fact that I was perfectly pressed on the interview day. My boss later confessed!
