Lung the Younger 06 October, 2005, 7:14 am As a punishment to yourself you should have to calculate exactly how many shirts you could have ironed in those 36 hours.
rust 06 October, 2005, 11:31 am let’s see… assuming it’s a 1,000 watt iron, and that it’s on only for 36 hours, and electricity costs about 25 cents a kWH — bah, it’s only four bucks. Hell, drop four bucks at Starbucks and consider yourself lucky.
Mikel 06 October, 2005, 11:50 am do they make electric irons? Momma still puts her iron over an open fire.
Esther 06 October, 2005, 2:27 pm Dry cleaners are too damn expensive. Besides, haven’t you heard? Wrinkled is the new black.:kiss:
pappy 06 October, 2005, 2:54 pm Good lord it could have burned through the floor if it was on that long. Of course that’s considering you left it on the floor.. Face down.. Beh I don’t know where I’m going with this. Good job Dave! 😛
Natalie 06 October, 2005, 4:23 pm I’ve made a grilled cheese using an iron, just to see if it could actually be done. It can, but it takes a long time. Always unplug the iron before leaving the house/going to sleep. 🙁
cbatdux 06 October, 2005, 5:15 pm As a public service, shouldn’t you also list other applicanes or devices that shouldn’t be left on for extended periods of time? Like sprinklers, hair curlers, vibrators….
Ms. Z 06 October, 2005, 5:29 pm Spray Pam on paperbag then add cheese sandwich, takes shorter time. That’s pam in can not your friend.
hippychick 06 October, 2005, 11:28 pm Vibrators should always be left on…:wtf: in case of an emergency…woohoo
Davezilla 10 October, 2005, 6:58 am Well, I bought a new iron on Sunday. This one has auto-off. (I’d had the last iron for more than 20 years)
Auto-shut off is your friend.

Tell it to Terri Schiavo, Nikki.
Rationalize. Toast a bagel for breakfast with it.

I’m glad Jade didn’t notice either. 😳
😀 You could have made grilled cheese with the iron while it was hot!
Damn, you must have had a LOT of ironing to do:lol:
