They need “webbed” feet.

And so the internet begins…

Clothes pegs! I haven’t heard that term in decades.

I’ve never even heard the term clothes pegs before. We always used clothes pins.

Woops, cat needs glasses. It’s the law.

You’ll find the pegs inbox

Is that the junk mail bin?

And hang the cat up by its tail

define ‘fun’…

Clothes pins have a spring…Clothes pegs don’t.

Sounds good to me, but I just made that up. Now they make plastic ones that don’t last long at all. I use the dryer most of the time, but I have a five foot tall collapsable drying rack made of wood dowels. Easy to find here in Maine, not sure if they are available around the rest of the country.

The washing machine must be out of order as well, if it’s so wet that it drips.

The only time when “going on line” meant actually having to go outside.

As a kid, one of my neighborhood friends was riding his bike across the back yards just past dusk and got clotheslined, literally, right off his bike. He had a pretty big mark under his nose for several days.

Better check with the Homeowners Association first!

This is something that will be foreign to most!

Hanging clothes on line is a lost art!

Been there, done that! ☺️

One evening a long time ago, a lady left her clothes on the line, including her drawers. They were big, too. A friend and I lit a firecracker and threw it in one and it blew a large hole in it. I’ve always wondered what her reaction was.

Ah yes, the good old-fashioned clothesline.

Ah, yes, solar powered clothes drying!

Must not live in an HOA.

While it leave them stiff, nothing smells better than clothes dried on a line (depending, of course, on where you are; paper mill or pig farm next door? Use the dryer……)

Takes me back. Wet clothes are HEAVY.

I don’t think he’s buying it.

Never air your dirty laundry online.

hung out

Why, you’re standing right in front of a dryer.

I never would have thought of it like that. Very clever, Mike!

That’s funny. She doesn’t look to me like the line-o type.

the kid looks like he’s hopin’ this’ll proceed at a fast clip…

I live in Vancouver and use my clothesline all year if it isn’t raining. Many homes in Vancouver have a working clothesline, while a trip to Seattle reveals they are seldom seen. Clothing off the line has a great fresh scent and feel, and bed sheets are welcoming at the end of the day. Wringer washers outsold automatics in Canada until 1968, while in the USA that change took place in 1951.
