The Woolite wrinkle release spray is a godsend for quick fixes, too.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

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

“Not dead yet!”

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I've owned that iron for nine years and this is the first time I used it. I watched some Real Simple youtube videos first. Sadly, I don't own a dryer, and I've never found the "hang it in the bathroom while you shower" method to be very useful.

Because books.
I drive my daughter nuts. She'll call to say she's been injured/in an accident and she gets all bent because I don't sob all over her. Hey, she could call, she was coherent, therefore not dead or dying. I save the wailing and rending for death.
I love Sail so much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Maybe if you have a really small bathroom and take REALLY hot showers.

Given that my bathroom has 14' ceilings? I'm thinking NSM.
I just typed out answers to a bunch of those hated questions and you know what? They are so much easier to answer than they used to be! Amazing what feeling competent and having self-esteen can do for ya.

Once, I put a garment in the dryer with a wet towel. I'm not sure whether it made a difference or not in terms of wrinkles.
I did turn the dryer on, just in case you were all wondering.

(and pretty damn mystified to boot) that there was something on my ironing board cover that may have been ::cringes:: cat urine
At least you noticed this BEFORE ironing it into your clothes, right?

Glad you clarified! :)

Well. I had already ironed my pants. No smell seems to have transferred. Let's hope I don't wake up to a dramatic discolored patch on them.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Just popping in to say that I'm fine and so are my London-based friends. I'm unbelievably grateful right now that I've moved from London. Two of the places being seriously rioted are *minutes* from where I used to live. It's seriously freaking me out to see shops, stations, homes being looted, windows smashed, set alight. And then there's the fact that rioting has started outside of London, including in my city - but fortunately, it's very isolated here so far. The scenes are pretty horrific - residential buildings going up in flames, and all sorts. I'm a major pacifist and still can't understand why they haven't sent in the army yet.
Sail, stay safe!
