posting on imamother for the umpteenth time about the same issues and arguments (including domestic skills) is way worse.

Considering the dynamics of my house...I need to go INTO my office to access the laundry room. Every ATTEMPT to iron gets stopped by imamother calling my name...

On imamother you can learn stuff by ironing you learn nothing.

deciding how you want to waste your time is very individual, there is no one right way or wrong way. some people get satisfaction seeing a freshly pressed pair of undies; I get satisfaction seeing a freshly worded post. whatever works for you. as long as it isn't doing the dishes, because that wouldn't be a true time waster, no matter how much it gives you satisfaction...

Ironing is against my hashkafa. AYLOR if you should iron.

Btw we are not shtark-creased rather we are the lite-creased type.

Well how "IRONIC" I would much rather eat out of a clean shiny dish than wear pressed underwear (it's only for a few hrs anyway).
Maybe I can auction off my iron (almost never used) Of course I don;t iron our underwear but where exactly is it creased it comes out of the wash perfect every time.

I'm only on here because my iron is currently being run through the dishwasher because it got dirty while ironing my used breakfast dishes. and my backup iron broke, and I refuse to use that cheap hamilton beach one my husband bought at value depot. the nerve of some people...

doesn't it depend on what thread one is posting on versus what one is ironing?
Why are you ladies looking for absolutes.

I was going to say this also. I have learned many things on imamother...the only thing I have learned while ironing is that I hate ironing.

imamother is my therapy.
and on that note, I've noticed that the few times I've ever ironed were immediately followed by major emotional breakdowns. think the events are related?

I once had a houseguest who wanted to iron his shirt (for a shidduch date). He asked (adult, married) DS where the iron is. DS came running to me and whispered -- where's the iron and what does it look like!

Well the biggest waste of time is posting on imamother about ironing! At least pick a different topic Smile

On imamother, I look at threads. When I iron, I look at threads. Same thing. LOL
