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.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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.

What is even happening?
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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
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?

I can't even.
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.

Jilli, stop proselytizing at me!

Chi, I was a serious devotee of Downy Wrinkle Releaser, but I can never find in my supermarket these days. It's been at least a year. I will look, again. That was perfect for the kind of smoothing most of my everyday stuff needs.
I think Trudy or someone said you can make your own with fabric softener and water, but I've always been afraid it would spot the fabric.
