My favotite neighbor walked over yesteray w/her grandaughter who is here visiting from kansas. She is about 9 years old, i guess. Anyway another neighbor was hanging out some clothes. T he little girl commeneted on her doing that with is her dryer broken? KIDS miss so much nowadays because we don't do things like we use to do. I just thought it strange that she had never seen anybody hang out clothes before. DO YOU??

No, I don't think it's a bit strange. I remember when my mother used to hang out clothes. She still continued to hang out clothes some after we got a dryer. She used the dryer more often, though. I like to hang out clothes sometimes, myself. I especially like to hang out my sheets. They smell so good after being outdoors. I hang out clothes more in the summer than I do in the winter. Kathy.

GOOD MORNING KATHY, I always loved the smell of the sheets to. IT is the pits to hang out clothes in the winter but i have done that & had them freeze before u could get them hung. Young people will never know what all there parents & grandparents had to go through . I think it might do them good to have to do some of the things we had to do to keep things going. Have a great day.

hi there
this is a strange thing now a days as most people i know use the dryer.
but i do the good old fashioned hang out on the clothes line job even in winter even in the snow.
it's a great waste of power to me & energy that it uses & let alone the money to run it.
myself i will put it out to get most of it dry then put it over the fire guard/ clothes airer to finish off over night.
kids do miss out on alot of things like when we were kids.
i guess i am an old fashioned style girl who is in my early 30's.

I would love to go to India. It's one of the places I hope to visit in the near future. The flight is expensive, so I have to really save my money. I really need to save because I want to go on a shopping spree there. You have the same electric plugs we do so I can buy electric things cheaper there and bring them home.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11267)   ranked 1 out of 588 in neighbor  6 months ago

THANKS for your response. I am sure your country is a very nice place to visit. Old habits are hard to break but i never did wash much by hand, never liked to. GUESS i'm spoiled to the washer. Thanks for the invite but i'll just stay in tennessee, not a traveler.

I never say anyone hang laundry until I was in my 20's. Actually I had no idea people still did that. I had seen my mom hang her hand wash in the bathroom, but that was about all. Everyone had a dryer were I lived. If it broke it was fixed in a few days. No one I knew would even think of hanging laundry outside, nor would they have a place to hang it. Now that I live in an area with expensive electricity and plentiful sun I hang my stuff out, but it took a while to get used to it.

THANKS for your response. We have to take advantage of anything we can nowadays to save money that's for sure. HAPPY DAYS TO U. Enjoy that sunshine, i love it.

That is something to think about. Kids nowadays just don't know how to live and improvise, we were brought up that way, so if one thing doesn't work we know how to do it another way even if it isn't the easy way. And most of the time the other way is a way that requires a lot of energy. I will say that is why there is a lot of obesity in the world today, things are done now without much effort.

I live in the south and I see clothes hung on clothesline a lot, I was raised hanging out clothes, it is a wonderful and nostalgic things to see clothes swaying on the line in a summer breeze.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11267)   ranked 1 out of 588 in neighbor  6 months ago

HI CHEVEE, i agree w/you. We were brought up to do whatever it took to keep things going. IT usually wasn't easy but we survived & it probably made us stronger people. I worry about the young folks.Thanks for your response.

Last year when they took a tree down in my yard they knocked over my clothes lines....but I still have a line tied from my garage to a tree....I haven't hung anything out there for a while....but I used to hang my clothes out to dry all the time.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11267)   ranked 1 out of 588 in neighbor  6 months ago

guess we all did. nowadays people would freak if their dryers broke as to what to do. some simple things need to be taught to young people. THERE COULD COME A TIME WHEN THEY'D NEED TO KNOW .

Yes, my dear....I have a HUGE clothesline for spring, summer & fall...and if you remember them...I have a wooden clotheshorse for winter drying! It is moved into the living room, to the side of the fireplace for winter drying! I have even bought my son one (and he loves it!) But, I still hand wash ALL but my linens, and big items....which I take to the laundromat! The water leftover goes on my plants..so I use biodegradables! Yup....I have backed up to the "good ole days" and truly do love my "sunshine/breeze fresh" laundry!

There are many towns/cities that forbid "clotheslines"....and I am truly appalled at that....it's free drying....not using power & leaving a carbon footprint!

Have a very special July 4th...my dear friend! Cheers!


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11267)   ranked 1 out of 588 in neighbor  6 months ago

HI friend,I do remember them. in fact i have one in my storage building . I used it when i had my antique store to display doilies & linens on. Hasn't been too long ago when my dryer was out i drug it out on the carport & dried some clothes on it. U have a great way of coping w/whatever comes up. I admire that in u.

Little task like hanging cloths should be taught at an early age especially to daughters. My younger daughter who is a bit tomboyish can never hang out clothes properly no matter how hard I try to instill in her the right way to hang clothes. But my other daughter is doing it perfectly well. She will arrange it well on the cloth lines. Parents should not pamper their daughters and let them live an ignorant life not knowing how to do simple task.

HI ZANDI, All kids are pampered too much nowadays. T HEY NEED TO BE TAUGHT ALOT OF BASIC THINGS THAT THEY COULD HAVE A USE FOR ONE DAY. kEEP THOSE GIRLS STRAIGHT.Know u have your hands full doing that. I did w/my boys. cool
