upnorth - yes, brighter is better. when i use the dryer in the winter, the sheets get yellow-ish. normally, the sun bleaches that out.

It was really hard to keep a straight face when she called the police and the young officer who answered the call was trying to be so professional when asking her for descriptions of the items missing.

I love to iron clothes that have been air dried on a clothesline.People knew when my aunt did her washing,she would hang her unmentionables out on the front porch on the little clothesline she had. :roll: :) She lived out in the country,but still had traffic going by her house.

When I was a teen there was a rash of underweat thefts from clothes lines. There was a boy who lived close to the mountaion with his family, when they moved, his mother left a large box that was full of nite gowns and panties, just the silky kind...we all laughted and it was the end of the underwear theft...no one reported it lol

I have worn out several clothesline! The coated wire broke down I guess from heavy loads!! And all the rules that were mentioned, I follow them. I guess I learned them from my mother and she was taught by her mother. My son-in-law would love to hang their laundry out but does not have clotheslines. He uses the wooden drying racks. If it's ugly, he sets them in their spare room and opens the windows a bit. I'll email him on particularly good wash days and tell him what he is missing!! (My daughter-in-law married a good guy! He likes to cook too!!!) I also remember the sprinkler bottles and wringers - how many times I ran my hands thru them!! My sisters and I started to iron because we liked to do the sprinkling. Started with Dad's hankies and moved on up. We were having fun at the time.

Well like sooooooooooooooo many others on the forum I love your clothesline story. I love the smell of the clothes when they have been hung outside. It is funny that this story just came out. Two weeks ago my husband came in from an auction.........we love to go to auctions......anyway he had a 'bottle with the sprinkler in it", and an umbrella clothesline........well........I immediately found a spot for it, and even though we have had lots of rain I have managed to hang out my clothes almost every time. Now here is MY CHALLENGE for all who are intersted in using their clothesline.........Let's come up with clothespin bag ideas and share.........i can't wait. I have a plain old one that i use, but it would be cute to have a new one. I am looking forward. Now i did not read all of the notes, so if some one has already come up with this idea, I apologize, but I will be looking. Let's do it.
