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??

There are people who hang out their clothes around here especially the sheets and blankets.
I remember a story about a little girl who was going around singing, "Bringing in the sheeps" after listening to her mother singing, Bringing in the sheaves" while hanging up the sheets.

So far the day is dreary. The sky is overcast. While we can always use the rain it would be nice to have a least part of the day clear and sunny.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11175)   ranked 1 out of 582 in neighbor  6 months ago

hi lottery, i love the sunshine to. we are actually needing a rain but rainy, gloomy days can be depressing.

first of all how is your son?
i hope everything went well
you know at the rate everything is developing what we did even a year ago seems so outdated and old. its no wonder that child had never seen anything as simple as that.even connecting on net today seems like an every day thing but it was unimaginable 5 -10 years ago.
guess we have some fond memories which are quickly being replaced by technology growth.
there is nothing much we can do i guess except make some new memories as fast as we can.so that we have atleast that to hold on to.

HI LADY, Thanks so much for asking about t.j. he wore the monitor for 24 hrs., turned it in yesterday. he goes tommorow for an echo cardiogram &WILL FIND OUT THE RESULTS FROM THAT & THE MONITOR. Mom has not had a good week.
It is sad that kids are growing up w/out learning the simplethings we did & had when i was a kid. I really think they miss out on alot. Thanks again & have a great day.

Not only DO I, I PREFER too. I think that some of these younger generations miss out. The age of convenience? or is it just commone sense? I mean there are a lot of things I do that save me time, money or are just better for you. I hang out my clothese because it saves me money on drying them, but - then I don't have to iron them either.

I make a lot of my own breads and other baked goods because I can control the grains and the sugars in them. I can my own vegtables and make our meals from skratch not those ready made kits because I don't like all the additives.

I guess common sense isn't the right word to use. I look at doing things like that as more of a way of life than others do, but that was how I was raised. Work hard and you get your payouts from it. Guess that's the farm girl in me.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11175)   ranked 1 out of 582 in neighbor  6 months ago

hey, it's great to be a farm girl. My grandparents lived on a farm when i was small & i thought to get there was the grandest thing in the world. Would have stayed w/them all the time if i had been allowed to. I got alot of my bigmama's work ethics/ I SQUIREL everything away that i can get by canning or freezing it. IT does save alot by doing that i think & it's convenient to have it in the winter when u don't want to get out in cold bad weather. u SOUND MIGHTY SMART TO DO ALL THE THINGS U DO.


myLot reputation of 87/100. kprofgames (1434)   ranked 60 out of 582 in neighbor  6 months ago

To have in the winter - LOL, like the lesson of the ant and the grasshopper. Words to live by!

I don't believe i know the story. wanna' tell me?rolleyes

That's pretty funny. You would think that she would have seen at least someone hanging out clothes in her lifetime. It amazes me at the number of people that don't hang clothes outside on the line anymore. I still do. I love hanging our clothes out. Not to mention it cuts down on the costs to run the dryer.


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11175)   ranked 1 out of 582 in neighbor  6 months ago

kids MISS OUT ON ALOT OF SIMPLE THINGS THAT I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN FOR GRANTED. I know there is a big age gap there but wish they knew some of the thinhs i do & the sad part no more how simple they are they will just never know. I don't hang out anymore, not to good at getting in & out w/things. I miss hanging my pillows out every spring & letting them air out.

I do think that is a bit weird. I've lived in the city all of my life and every once in a blue moon even I see some person who still enjoys hanging their clothes out in the fresh air.

Well yeah times have changed and sad but true. Some kids just dont get to see those kinds of things. They will probably just here about it in stories. LOL!!!! All I can say is that I am going to be 26 and I have seen it done and I have did it myself.

bye

When I was born we didn't have washer and dryer, so my mother used to hand wash everything and hang all clothes. During my school years when in dormitory, I used to do all of my clothes by hand, because of limited money to spend...
Time is changing....


myLot reputation of 93/100. ANTIQUELADY (11175)   ranked 1 out of 582 in neighbor  6 months ago

Times have changed alot for sure. Your mom had a job handwashing everything, bless her heart. I never did like to handwash & about all i did would be hose & maybe underwear. I was so glad when i got my own washer, i hated going to the laudrymat.

I guess you can't blame the kid for not seeing people hanging their clothes outside to dry. I don't think that hanging the clothes out is such a big deal that the kid is missing. it is not that its a culture or a family ritual of yours to hang the clothes outside. dryers are good. they dry the clothes quickly saves you the pain of hanging the clothes outside and then picking them back again. I don't think the kid is missing anything...

THERE u are w/your usual attitude. thumbdown
