yea i will scond that and i still think your brave doing it and drawing our attension to it. I for one am glade you din't get to delate them as you get your reasuranse and now we all know we all feel like that sometimes.

PL, I am not about as much as I used to be since I started Uni, I get where you are comming from and possibly why you could get to feeling so. But to put yourself in the PITA category is not the case, I have always respected you, your posts and when you chat about in open threads...yet I can also understand the sensitivity, I am sure we all get our own versions of it from time to time. As the others have stated, that was a couragous thing to post about and I am sure like myself, most folk who will read this will totally get the point and totally respect you for your honesty and bravery.

Big Loves

Oh you guys, thank you so much for the reassurance. I have admitted to having rampant insecurities, and I let them show every now and then. I should know to trust the love that I receive from my boomer sisters! xxoo Lynn

Thanks PL. You are not pain in the rear. No one here is!
But it takes time go over all these threads. And I'm sure
I miss some of them on a regular basis. Any yes I still iron
some things. My DIL doesn't iron anything. I like the looks
of jeans and some of hubby shirts if they're iron some.
I don't spend lots of time at it, but I put creases in some stuff.

I have a friend who doesn't own an iron. I don't iron much, but I like having the option.

Gotcha. I don't like to iron either. And I have heard of
perma press, somewhere along the line. I don't iron much.
But some.

I own an iron and small table top ironing board. Do I use the iron much?

Hummmmm, now lets see, where is that iron????? Haven't seen it in years!

How old are these men who demand ironed sheets? Hopefully that practice has dropped. Such a friggin' waste of time especially with sheets that don't wrinkle as much if you know how to buy the right quality.

When I was younger and heard about the ancient habit of ironing bed sheets, it bewildered me. It sounds so hopelessly North American (and old style, bourgeoise European).

Life is more than just ironing sheets. How many people actually peep into the bedroom anyway outside of the people who use the bedroom?

Since our place is small we cannot have a full ironing board. I just have a table top..that I place onto the carpeted living rm. floor and I am KNEELING on the carpet and crouched over, ironing the rare piece of clothing that needs it. It's a bother.

Of course, when I used to sew alot, I ironed often..it's necessary to iron and steam the tucks, seams, etc. at different stages of clothing construction so things hang right on the body in the end. So that's when ironing is truly justified, a necessary process of creating a well-fitting garmet.

But no point sweatin' over such an insignificant detail of daily life. It's just my clothing. My partner avoids buying any clothing that requires ironing. He was like this even before I met him.

MIL ironed hubby's undershirts when he lived with her. He was mid-thirties before we married, and was a bachelor till then. There was no way in hades I was gonna iron T-shirts. He's lucky good slacks and shirts get touched up. It would be a cold day, you know where, before I ironed sheets!

lol i bought an iron when a frend popped over to mine to get radie to go out, took a towel out put it on the floor as i watched bemused and said weers your iron!....I had to go looking to my nearest frend to get me one, iv never seen someone so shocked to learn i never ironed lol

i have ways and means of getting L cloths dune nowadays lol.

ironing sheets is almost as bad as ironing socls and pants....by mum did but thats weer the ironing unecassary stuff family tradition ended theri lol.
