Evelyn remembered the days she used to come up to the roof to take her clothes off to sun bathe, not to blockout the sun with her husband’s long underwear.
Dash it All. Just when Persil-la thought she had turned the Tide and started to Gain on the laundry, some jerk with a tattoo of an Arm and Hammer on his shoulder dropped another basket at her feet. She was Purex-hausted, and she was sure all that detergent wasn’t good for the ECOS-ystem.
But, seriously – this Summer – like every Summer – barefoot and pregnant. And climbing 4 flights with a load of wet laundry on a 96-degree day. “It’s the good life !” (Gee – maybe the pill is a GOOD thing) Or maybe Al needs a vasectomy…
Early Eastern European immigrants, unable to afford a telephone, devised their own version of the party line to discuss gossip and the price of cabbage.

Almost every home in my neighborhood – including my own, has a rooftop terrace where the wash is hung out to dry. Many of them, like my own, are covered so wash can be hung to dry anytime. Most people here still prefer the fresh smell of air-dryed clothes to machine dryers.

Feminism wouldn’t exist without technology. It was the laundry machines that freed women to pursuit careers outside the home.

Meryl hung the clothes out on the line so that they would have that fresh coal-smoke aroma.

By hanging the purple blouse, Doris was sending a signal to her lover that the coast was clear.

Since it’s winter much of the year here, I dry mine in a sunny window. The sunlight’s powerful when it’s in the south.
