I've got a pretty good ironing tip. Don't buy clothing that needs to be ironed. Ever. :facepalm:

You've definitely got my vote. I remember as a kid I was forced to iron my dad's cotton handkerchiefs. I remember the trouble I got into when I said "you're just going to blow your nose on them so why do I have to iron them?" Now, I can't even remember the last time I had an iron in my hand. :lol:

Oh my I remember having to do that. I agree....what a waste of time. Sheets too. Like, why? :confused:

I'd be happy to give you some advice but with my track record you'd be a fool to take it. What the hell, way I see it you got two choices, renegotiate your deal or suck it up and take it like a man. Then you could always hire a lawyer, I have lot's of experience with that.

NO THANKS, been there, done that and lost my retirement in the process

It was my silver one also - my favorite - also got used the most... All mine are either black or silver (I do have one blue 78, but it will last me the longest because it get used the least).

I lost, actually lost, a freshly charged X2-650 with a freshly filled clearo of SI RY4 last weekend walking the dog at the park. Broke my heart, only had it since July.

Are you kidding? I had a great Aunt that used to iron my underwear and would never make a bed with an unironed sheet. Now my wife irons my t-shirts, even the ones with the frayed collars and paint stains and cutoff sleeves. I do iron a mean curtain or drape though.

My Mother used to iron the sheets. I always wondered - Why??? Myself - Retired Military - I have spent a lot of time with an iron in my hand (starch too)... Nowadays - even iron free pants need a touch up once in a while.

Good Afternoon Volties... Lost one of my X2's yesterday (only about 5 or 6 months old). The button stopped working right in the middle of a vape... It was almost fully charged - it just stopped. I dropped it off in one of the local lithium battery disposal bins today. Luckily I have lots of 78's and still one more X2 to operate with...


Oh no Semi - that is sad. The good news is that you have a few spares. Smart person.

I only iron when I need city clothes and that was probably about 5 years ago when I went to the big wedding for the brother-in-law in Seattle. I bought a new dress and a cute pair of shoes and a cute clutch purse to go with the outfit.

A co-worker has a copper X2 and that is as sharp as the silver. I loved my silver the best to. All my 78mm are silver they just have a better feel to them I think. The only thing I didn't like about my silver X2 is it was harder to hold on to out in the hay field.

Geez the visual,not enough Xanax in the world. I need Micheal Jackson's MD. Talk about PSTD.I'll never be the same again. I think my brain has been violated. (Bookmarks this for later reference) A motorcycle rider wearing a COWBOY hat??? Oh UHUH that's just wrong.
Gets a viking helmet complete with horns ---here wear this it suits you better.

Thanks for the offer but Viking Helmets don't do a thing for her believe me I've tried. If I want to really get things going I add the Chaps, Boots and Spurs. I'll stop there in case you are low on Xanax... I just say living out here in the sticks we know how to make our own fun. Here's a visual to leave you with, sometimes I have to give her lap dances.... :D

So does my husband. Hands Mrs Officer the handbook (How to Re-train Your Hubby). Only thing I can figure out Awsum,Officer has terrorized her with the cowboy hat.

Hey, I am trained, I do as I'm told hahahahahahaha, you're funny! It's not my fault that the young women go for the older Biker types. If you spent a Friday or Saturday night at the Clubhouse you really would need MJs Doctor. I'm here now cleaning up the carnage from last nights party, Bloody Marys all around, hey where did this sheep come from?

I'm TELLING.

Go ahead she only believes what I tell her and she doesn't even know about the ECF. I keep my laptop locked up tighter than Fort Knox. Besides she is sure shes in charge so I let her have her little fantasy. Raynes, you are more fun than most folks here and I have to say I am somewhat surprised. Did I ever tell you about wife number 2 or maybe it was number 3, anyway she was a top shelf Horse Woman she showed in the Open Jumpers Class at MSG, Devon, South Hampton and the International Horse Show in Washington, not my cup of tea but I have been to all of the big shows at least once some many times, I kinda have a soft spot for women that ride horses and most of them have a soft spot for Bikers. I know all kinds of things about Horses most of which I never wanted to know.

Good Morning Volties!

And just where the heck is the coffee!?!? Well, I'll make some, but you'll have to deal with the cinnamon. I don't wanna hear any complaints. Anyhow, it goes nicely with the coffee cake. There's still some left, but you might wanna nuke it for a few seconds.

I just want to give my best wishes to all of you on the east coast. Awsum, it looks like you and Blues are in for a direct hit. I'll be thinking of you.

Moanin, Volties! Sorry about the coffee, I slept late (7) and had some final chores to do before the storm.

@jaster - How'd you do that so fast? At the rate I'm going it'll be another decade or two before I break even, but then again I'm a little OCD and believe that if two is good, 50 is better and 100 is about right.

@Officer - The visual, you, chaps, spurs and a sheep.....I guess in VA men are men and the sheep are nervous.

All battened down, car and truck gassed, lots of gas for the generator, gutters clean, everything tied down and lots of food and vaping supplies on hand. It's a little cooler, about 58, and the wind is starting to pick up. I'm far enough from any moving water that it is not a real worry, but I'm sure 206, the main highway I use, will go underwater pretty quickly when the Rancocas Creek starts flooding as it surely will. Now it's just a waiting game which gives me time to try all the new flavors I ordered from WL. The vape mail was tremendous yesterday, SI, WL and XV all on the same day!

The biggest problem I have with domestic duties is getting the seams on those fishnet stockings straight. That and those pesky high heels make it a little tuff!

HI Everyone . . .

Just coming out of "lurking" and popping in to report . . .

So much going on and can't wait to tell YOU ALL some very good and exciting NEWS about something that has happened - but that will have to wait a few more days . . .

NOW - One other "tidbit" . . . I am actully on one of the usual trips that I take up North every 5-6 weeks . . .

OH BOY ! ! !

Instead of waiting till I was scheduled to leave on Wenesday - I changed "My" Flight out to Monday evening just before the "Frankenstorm" hits . . .

I don't know how to tell you this Uncle, but the storm will probably be just starting to taper down from the peak on Monday evening. I have a feeling your flight isn't going to fly, unfortunately.

YOU :shock: :D. . . I don't think so either, especially given what they keep saying . . .:(

However, the hurricane is not really going to get here till around 7 or 8 PM Monday night and I am scheduled to leave either 3 or 5 PM . . .YEA - Right ? ? ? ;)

Now, I can make it though the storm, just rather be out of here given people around these parts don't know how to handle this (SORRY) . . . ;)

If I can I may even try to leave first thing tomorrow morning instead or just have to wait till Thursday - all depending on what flight I can get and/or I can get "My" meds I need for the extra days . . . We'll see :)

You have to keep in mind the media hype, the total lack of common sense and people who just plain old haven't got a clue. The other thing is it doesn't happen very often here. As a kid, 7 or 8, I remember a storm back in the 50's that cut the barrier strip between Point Pleasant and Seaside into four pieces, three new inlets to the Barneget Bay. Haven't seen anything like that since, and that's almost 60 years ago (really 60 years, nahhh, can't be!). I think you better plan on getting those meds, this is looking like a real storm.
