I hate ironing. I used to iron my dad's shirts for work and then my own when I worked in an office. I'm happy none of my current clothes require ironing! What a waist of time!!

Absolutely right, @Shades-of-Oregon

I have also used one just like in the picture I posted. I don't know when we began to be able to put water in irons like most of us have now but 60+ years ago, Mom didn't have one. Spray bottles came with the plastic age.

Cotton outer clothing creates a need for ironing, polyester – not so much. But, I still like cotton better.

Just bought DH 4 new pairs of socks bc he said he needed socks.
Bought online, all clearance, but I made sure that ALL of them were 50%-75% cotton.
Synthetic socks are like wrapping your feet in plastic, and in the winter you sweat and get Colder.
My outdoor feed the ponies wear is ALL cotton or wool. I got frostbite Once, when I had gotten my leather glove wet and it was -5 degrees F. My fingers were burning and I had to run my hand under tepid water to recover.

I had the same issues with hands and feet freezing will dry out hands and feet quickly. I use small hand and boot shaker packets to stay warm and comfortable. But with dry skin on feet and heels it’s literally a good thing to wrap them covered in crisco then sealed with suran wrap over night. Helps prevent cracked sore feet and hands. I do the same on horse hoves goop up crisco then wrap the hove with a baby diaper and secure with …yeap you guessed it..Duct Tape heavy duty.

Anyway I digress. During winters the horses grow out a furry winter coat. They look like long haired mammoths. Not fun in spring to brush out leaf baggies full of fur from each horse. But it’s a work out for triceps and biceps, and in the long run helps keep me in shape for gardening. Hehe… Scooping shovels of recycled hay out of the stalls also is a great exercise for both legs arms..back…Never a dull moment is there.

Aaalllll .... these jokes about Keith Richards' age. Born in the Age of Dinosaurs, etc. etc. Well, here he is in 1965 and in his early 20's.
