I am better now. I took a shower and then TXTed my mom and told her what happened so she let me borrow hers for a couple of days. I also found some nutty bars in the cabinet so I got my Chocolate fix. Thanks you all for sharing with me in my time misery.

Must be that time of the year for irons to bite the dust. Mine just quit last week---no sparks, no smoke, no heat. Luckily I had another in the basement.

Sorry to hear about your Iron, time for a new one !! Just don't hit the neighbor as you throw it out the window, and remember to take the screen off and open the window.... O.K. all thats a bunch of extra work. Cheer up "Didn't mom'a say their'd be days like that" :) :oops: :oops: Thats for the singing voice. :oops: :oops:

That is a real pain when you don't have a back-up or the money to buy a new one. Thanks to moms huh? Seems they are always there

Aw, glad you get to borrow one! I found one at a garage sale the other day, dont need it yet, but since it was only a buck, I figured it get it just in case that happens to me. Its always when you REALLY want to use the that they break!

Guess we all need to keep on the lookout for Spare Irons when we hit the garage sales and resale shops!

Peanut butter, coconut, nuts, raisins, just about anything in that baking cupboard will work as a substitute, hehe.

What's funny is the other day I was thinking this is the best iron I have ever had, 15yrs and still works like new. Guess I was asking for it to quit. Lol. I'm laughing about it now but I sure was last night.

I went to the thrift shop and found 2 irons for $2.00 a piece. Checked them before I paid for them and they seem to work great. Maybe I should stock up on them. Hehehe
