I LOVE IRONING. The shot of steam reminds me of a truck's air brakes. I love seeing the iron glide over my work clothes. I almost cut my fingers on the creases I put in.

I don't starch them up to the point of breaking, or put them in the freezer for added strength. lol.

Many years ago, when I was in the Navy, just before our room inspection, we used to fold our sheet on the bed back, and iron it, so it would look 'perfect'. Well,.... this particular time, I was ironing my sheet, lost concentration and turned around to talk to somebody, and ironed my thigh. Having a hot shower was not pleasant....for days. lol.

Lesson learnt.
