Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 08, 2011

Isn’t that what daughters are for?

What is ironed?

My darlin’ is a school teacher. I am proud to say she always looks very neatly dressed and very professional. Gets up early enough to ensure that she looks that way.

I always buy clothes that don’t need to be ironed.

i went to work like that once……one brown/one black boot.

Mismatched shoes! Happened to my uncle. Was taking the collection basket down the aisle when he noticed he had on one tan loafer and one dark brown shoe. Mentioned it to fellow collection taker. By the time they returned up the aisle to the altar the message had been passed along, and the congregation was rolling in the aisles with laughter. Sunday morning 7am mass @ an Anglican (Episcopal) Church.

i did that once, but not only were the shoes different colors, they had different heel heights. ( and i wasnt hung over)

It doesn’t take 15 minutes to iron the back of a shirt….

Aw but Val has to get up earlier to allow the extra 15 mins. I always get my clothes ready and loose during laundry time so do not go through this ironing problem.

Lay out what you are going to wear the night before. Yea Flylady!

Good lipstick applying Val! But I don’t see your lip changing color.

One of my coworkers once came in with only one eye made up. She forgot to do the other one.

We all have a secret fear about going out, then realizing we forgot to put on pants. Gary Larson taught me that forgetting your duck is even worse.

Look more closely — she applied it in panel one and licked it off in panel two!

If I did that, my daughter would say I looked like crap!

I once went a step further than different shoes – I forgot to put on shoes at all. I was wearing Croc slippers, which were extremely comfortable and gave good support like a really good shoe. Suddenly that morning I realized that I didn’t remember putting on my shoes. I looked down and checked my feet; turned out my memory was correct. Fortunately no one objected.

@Derkins vanPelt; “Gary Larson”? “Your duck”? Is that The Far Side? But then what does it have to do with a duck??

Permanent Press is your Friend…

The advantage of being male.

I found a style and size of shoes that looked good, fit and were comfortable even after standing and walking all day.Ordered three more pairs,and rotate through them.Haven’t needed to buy new shoes for six years.

I did that once! Too late once you got out of your house and that first moment you discovered you’ve got two different shoes – you’d rather be six feet underground!

she needs those no iron shirts from Mark’s Work Wear House, as for the shoes…LOL….I’ve never done that…poor Val

a few years ago coworker in next cube “just bring me one of the expletive shoes i don’t care what color” and she admitted being hung over

Well, she’d look pretty darned silly with just one shoe!
