Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

Because books.

I like to iron if I have time and something to watch on TV. It's sort of mindless and then there are all these nicely pressed clothes, which feels productive.

I still buy less linen than I used to, though.

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?

I hate ironing so much I buy clothes based on whether or not they have to be ironed or dry cleaned. I don't like having to dry clean things, either. Gets spendy.

“Not dead yet!”

::shudders::

Hates ironing, I does.

You'd think I'd get into the soothing nature of folding and ironing, but NSM.

I may also be feeling a bit violent over the whole housechores thing since I'm actually doing some today. I've come to the conclusion that I have a deep abiding hate on for the Dyson vacuum. Pet-friendly indeed-- I can barely vacuum half my room before I have to empty the canister. And the stupid brush gets snagged up and frozen if you look at it funny.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

The magical sheets that dry clean in the dryer are my friends.

It's almost cheaper for me to dry clean between the cost of the sheets and the cost of the dryer.

Oh, Burrell, have I told you that you might like Nubar's Purple Beach?

You are NOT helping me maintain my miff, Cass.

(burrell, I'm pretty sure I mailed one to you... did you get it?)

Yes! I was just going to email you an RSVP. Coming! I've been in TCB mode this morning and trying to multitask a bit too much.

I'd be interested in the polish box, too, given my cuurent obsession. I don't have much to add though.

My mom never ironed. We had a big bin in the closet filled with stuff to be ironed, and right around holiday time mom would ask me to iron a tablecloth and some napkins. Dad didn't iron either, he just hung his shirts to dry. We are lazy and unkempt in my house. Cody irons, god bless him.

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

I have an inordinately expensive load of dry cleaning waiting for me to pick up. I finally sent out everything that had been waiting, including formal wear. Ouch.

I don't think I could properly populate a work wardrobe without clothes that needed ironing or dry cleaning. I do have a lot of knits, but not enough.

I totally bought too much lunch. Burger and fries? What was I thinking?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I need to bring a ton of stuff to the dry cleaner's, and figure I should do it before I need the clothes... It's been four months.

My sister irons her jeans, but, as far as I know, her only demonic power is to drive her family insane.

Honestly, that's part of what I like about fast food -- crappy little burger, not a ton of fries.
