For 'qualquier ' did you mean las ropas? Or am I missing something?

En mi casa plancho yo! Y no me gusta! pero tampoco me gusta la ropa con arrugas.

In my house it's me that irons. I do not like it, but I don't like wrinkled clothes.

Confieso que me da flojera planchar, pero lo hago porque la ropa con arrugas me desespera.

¡Y  sí plancho los jeans!  Sé que es un detalle, pero vaya sí se nota la diferencia.  Pero no los plancho con raya.  Jamás de los jamases.

por raro que parezca, me gusta planchar pero sólo camisas y, de vez en cuando, los pantalones que necesitan rayas. Cuando plancho, pienso en mi querida mamá quien planchaba todo, aun los calcetines, calzones, sábanas y toallas.( y vaqueros)

Strange as it may seem, I like ironing but only shirts and from time to time, those pants that need creases. When i iron i think on my dear mother who would iron everything, even socks, underwear, sheets and towels. (and jeans)

recuerdo también mi amigo gary. su madre se lo planchaba el pelo antes de salía porque no le gusta el pelo ondulado

i remember as well my friend gary. his mother would iron his hair before he went out because he didnt like his wavy hair

"esta hierviendo el día"

Me gusta esa frase, pero ¿de que pais viene esta frase?  le dije esta a mi amiga del D.F. y me dijo que nunca lo ha eschucado.  Me dijo que suena de sudamerica.

Bueno así decimos en Cuba cuando hay algo muy caliente.

Y hasta utilizamos esta frase: ¨Le hierve la sangre¨ para decir que alguien está muy muy enfadado.

El infinitivo es ¨hervir¨.

A mi, no me molesta planchar ropa.  Y sí, plancho mis jeans (pues, a veces).

Mi hija plancha su propia ropa, y a veces mi esposa plancha mi ropa( y yo la suya), pero la mayoría del tiempo plancho mi propia ropa.

Lilly/Yenny

When the girl says "Me quemo", the english translation comes out as "I burnED" myself. This just happened a few seconds ago (she cries out).

Is it meant to be "me quemo" (I burn myself....right now) or "Me quemó" ( I burned myself....just a second ago) ?

Tks

Si dress clothes, my wife plancha or tomo ellos to the dry cleaners.  Pero, regular ropas tomo ellos caliente de el secador.  For jeans, my wife taught me to take them out and fold them by the pant legs and then in half and entonces whip them against my leg.  They keep their shape that way.
