[Fey]

LOL methinks I wasn't making sense in my 'christ why'd I get a freaking COLD on my first day off and am now taking mass meds' sorta way.

My old iron was from the 80s, it's got a huuuuuuuge iron plate, and the body is old school metal core with minimal plastic presence. Weighs a good bit. New irons are mostly plastic, with minimal meal, usually just a smaller iron plate.
Sadly, as you can see, the old 80s ones will eventually have rust issues. the new ones, not so much, but not as 'hefty' so I find they're less effective for my needs. I have a friend who's getting rid of their 'extra' iron, so I'm gonna snag that one...as soon as I feel up to walking, and breathing, and not sleeping.
