I know I've used my iron, because I remember thinking "man, that's a crappy iron." But I couldn't tell you how long ago that was.

Yes. Isn't that some sort of universal truth?

If it wasn't before, it is now.

I'm trying to remember the last time I used the iron. I think it was when I was embossing bats on a velvet skirt.

I think I imagined your wardrobe requiring a lot of ironing. Am more tempted than ever before for a change.

Actually, I just go rumpled. I don't go out any place of substance rumpled (that is like church, the library, dinner, a show, etc.). But if I'm bumming around with the kids, I am going to wrinkle my clothes, so I don't sweat it.

Heh. Apparently I'm only an 84% match for myself. Which is unfortunate.

I had to iron cotton uniforms when I was a kid. I hate ironing. Suck at it. I have mastered snatching things from the dryer in a timely fashion to prevent the need.

Ha! No, absolutely no ironing needed in the JilliWardrobe. Lots of flowy black lace and stretch velvet, plus some wool, silk, or non-stretch velvet that involves going to the dry cleaning place, but no ironing. A frock coat means never having to iron your blouses.

How does that happen?

I don't think I'd date me. That shouldn't stop anyone else from giving it a (polite) shot, though.

My friend who is having bariatric surgery tells me that afterwards she will never be able to eat cake again.

Not even a smidgen.

Not a crumb.

NEVER.

Ever.

I am very sad for her. This sounds trivial, but sincerely, that's got to be a tough decision to make, and to make it knowing her future is entirely cakeless, rather than just severely cake-restricted shows her dedication, if you ask me. I hope it goes well for her, and assists her in meeting her goals.

I know someone that had it and can manage a VERY TINY piece once in a while. But if she eats more than that, sugar dumping occurs and it makes her very sick. When I went to a wedding with her, though, she opted for a few glasses of wine over the wedding cake.

Wrinkle releaser. Wonderful product. Not good for seriously, been wadded up in a ball in the back of my closet kind of wrinkles, but works fabulously for light to moderate wrinkling.

What is this iron of which you speak?

Not the least bit surprised that Fay's profile is charming and funny and delightful. If you were in the ghost-profile-writing game, Fay, you'd have everyone matched up in no time.
