Irrroning Boorrd. Ironingboard. That sounds cool And you use it to get wrinkles out of close, you say? Do you stick the board on top of the clothes or is it coated with something and you lay you clothes on top and the wrinkles fade away? Hmm, I'm off to google that... Ir-ron B-oorrd. Irrroning Boorrd.

They try to say they aren't nagging, but come one...like I can't figure it out. It's usually a nag or two on the condition of my car, which I used to live out of while I worked at a small town paper. It has gotten a little better, but I still cringe anytime they ask if they can ride with me somewhere, knowing they will find something to nit-pick about.

Ironing is the most useless of domestic duties. I don't have an ironing board. I do have an iron that I have used exactly once in 9 years (hello? 1) wrinkles=style and 2)when absolutely necessary, that's what dryers and wet cloths are for). Oh and if my hubby ever even hinted that I should iron something for him--laughing my a$$ off would be the nice way to go, but I might try a little shin-kick. Too funny!
