As Els said

> ...Still hanging my sheets out is great...

That is the way I feel, and just hung out my wash, on a gorgeous July
day. However, I need to vent on two things about laundry, so listen,
sisters:

We had a Kenmore washer for 24 years, so when it was time to get a new
one, Sears was our choice, and we bought another Kenmore. I hate it.
When we were discussing its features with the saleslady ("associate" as
they are called nowadays; in this case I abbreviate it ass.) we asked if
the washer had a lint filter. She assured us there was a built-in filter.

What a lie! First time the machine was serviced, the repairman told and
showed us the 'lint filter' -- four little holes in the drum under the
agitator. This 'Lintmore' machine pumps 80% of the lint right back into
the wash water and onto my clothes. The real filter that used to catch
the lint was replaced by those 4 holes, "to improve economy" said the
repairman. Supposedly a dryer is supposed to remove lint, and most often
the appliances are sold in washer-dryer pairs.

We don't use a clothes dryer because I have always liked the fresh air.
I refuse to believe I am the only one in the USA using clotheslines and
getting 'linted' on everything I wash. I gave up on Consumer Reports
magazine because they didn't tell the truth about lint filters.

The other vent is the clothesline itself. Years ago I won the 'beef of
the week' when I wrote to a local newspaper "though technology has put a
man on the moon, and even let Sally Ride, my clothesline still stretches
and sags..."

Got it off my mind. Any advice?

To keep your clothes line from sagging, use a non-stretch clothes line
material such as Dacron, Kevlar or stainless steel. All rather expensive,
but putting a man on the moon was not cheap either. : )

Tuulia, Washlines do tend to sag a little bit, but I use the connecter
with the two little wheels. I put these between heavy items so the line
comes together again. Must be said I have a very high and very long
washline, so a little bit of a sag does not matter to much.

Consumers reports is a great institution, why not write them about your
observation. I find them most of the time right on the mark.

While I was taking in the wash yesterday.....a roufus humming bird landed
on the line and sat there while I pulled in the wash. Love these little
gifts.... Our hummers are nearly ready to leave on their trek down to
Mexico. The male birds have left already, but the young and female birds
are still here. They often come and bath in the sprinkler while I am
watering the garden. They may be small but certainly are birds with a
great character.....(spelling).

Hello Sharon in SW Ontario.......I am glad you are still there, but I was
replying to Katherine's message below yours. Katherine had just said
goodbuy to us for the coming month, and so I was surpriced to see her
posting. Where in SW Ontario are you.....Sharon. During our last trip to
Toronto, our oldest daughter took us for a long weekend to Georgean Bay to
a cottage they have rented for this summer, just North of Port Perry. The
Georgean Bay area is so pretty. When we still lived in Toronto, we spend
many holidays there, and also on the Bruce peninsula. The waters can by
icy cold for a long time after the winter is over, but once it warms up
the swimming is just great.

Hi, Els. Well, I am gone, but am able to have some kind of access
through google. I don't like it, but it is better than nothing, right?
I should be home by the end of the month, and then things will be back
to normal.
I have done my yaarn shopping yet, but will do so early next week. I
have seen my mother twice so far, and she is looking good, but frailer
than last time.
Hope you had a good Canada Day.
Hugs,
Katherine

Nora this is awful !!!
i think now adays with enviroment and ecology , you could try and
change that , [ Driers take up electricity]
Here one can hang outside but has to hang some Cover or hide , for it
!!!
I think this are stupid rules ,
many yars ago Elinor Roosevelt , came to visit here see all those new
Housing for all the Refugees Isarel absorbed. A housing plant was told
not to hang their washing outside !!! when her entourage came , she
refused to go to the designated housing and insisted on going to the
other one [ where washing Naturally hung to dry] saying she likes to
meet those ;`Clean People`!!!
true story ,,, Engineers devised hides for wash that are too small
thus people hang it all around those hides ,, But when you visit old
cities you think it is charming !!!
time to cahnge this stupid law !!!!
