yup we all be slim if we worked has hard as they did in those days. I recently found this out when my washer broke down and was waiting for repair man. So had to wash some cloths in a bucket and ran it through some ringers i bought years ago. Whew those women had strong backs arms and hands. lol Its good to watch old time shows like that is to see how they had to do things years ago. One never knows if we would ever have to, knowledge is powerful.
