Of Irons and such
I have always had good luck with Black and Decker. Other brands, big names, have gone toes up but I learned my lesson, inexpensive, bottom of the line Black and Decker works great for me.
On a more humorus note, back in the day, being so absent minded, I would forget to turn off the iron, a lot. So when going out for the day I would put the iron in the fridge. My son once asked me why I did this and I replied, " there are no outlets in the fridge" . Well it worked, I never burned down the house. Now I have a surge protector to plug in the iron and a lamp. So when I leave the sewing room for the day I turn off the surge protector. How do I know it is off.....cause the lamp is off. I have no fear of Azimers, I have been so absent minded all my life I would probably not notice it. I like to think I am absent minded because I am always thinking deep thoughts...I do like to think that.
