I'll relay that info to Chris.:evil:

I agree, it would be better with a mojito.

I was thinking of just inviting JWBear over to do it - and maybe add GD's suggestions of serving cocktails - then we can just be three fitted sheets to the wind.

[muddle? mojito? get it?]

It took me a bit, bit I DID get it.

The whole pointlessness of ironing sheets and towels (really? towels?) reminded me of when I overheard these elderly women at the laundromat lamenting that they could never get all their towels white again and all I could think was don't buy white towels. Why make it so hard?

Because women my mother's age were taught that it was how it was done. I can also remember her boiling whites in Borax. Nobody does those things anymore. But it was quite common a couple of generations ago.

Have to say, this talk of spending one's time keeping whites white and ironing towels makes me think that if we didn't have these complexes we could spend more time doing truly useful things...or maybe just enjoy life a bit more.

Of course now that we don't do this stuff we just waste time on the internet :)
