hi frodo neets
I used to iron my hubby's shirts when he had job interviews
I didn't mind it, but it would have been easier if I had ironing board
I didn't know you were in the army, have you told westy
he was in air force, but back then air force was part of army
no wonder you two hit it off :)
I guess that means you can shoot a gun too
I'll dispatch you when westy needs back-up
ac was navy, which is why our thread is so ship-shape
Love, Palo

thanks ac for new thread
GO navy!

habs if you joined navy, would you be in HRM navy like ac
or is Canada's navy completely separate

Good afternnon all, I have finally arrived.....

Palo, I used to learn to iron on my dad handerchiefs also...he always had those big various colored handerchiefs, with the decorations on them...he had the small white ones only for his Sunday best suit...but I used to love to iron his big old hankies...

Do you remember having a sprinkling bottle? We had an old quart pop bottle, that was filled with water, and it had a special cork in it, and attatched to the cork was a metal covering with small holes in it...you sprinkled all the clothes after they had been washed and dried, just enough to get them damp(This must have been before they had steam irons)...then we covered the laundry basket with a towel, and let it set for an hour or so, before commencing with the ironing...Bah...what a chore, glad we dont have to do that anymore...

I never, ever washed or ironed any of my hubbies military stuff...always sent them to the special laundries around base, who knew exactly how to wash and starch and press all the military gear, to pass inspection...
