Once you've tried proper line dried washing you won't go back!

I line-dried all my laundry for 7 years in Santiago, Chile. In the summers, it was fine; winters left me with jeans, sweatshirts and towels that took days to dry and ended up looking and feeling like scratchy cardboard. This was discussed in two bafflingly spirited threads:

I live next to an international airport. Line drying is not an option.

As of last night, I can do without June bugs, because they keep landing where we're trying to dance. *squish* But I know they're better than the mosquitos that I thought we would have to deal with being outdoors at sunset.

Yep, Wild Root, your first sighting is a bit of a shocker! lol
And I was there for one of those threads on line drying - I maintain my position.

I maintain my position.

As do those cardboard-stiff towels and jeans, unfortunately.

And to add to your "orientated" or "incidences;" Mojave - Why is everything now a "Solution"? ie

Sleep Solutions - beds
Domestic water transportation solutions - plumbers
etc

What is that for crying out loud!

"Diesel locomotives? bring back steam!"

Well, several people are doing just that. Modern advances in materials science and systems analysis have convinced several engineers that steam locomotive design did not plataeu in the 1950s. Combine this with the increasing cost of petroleum and steam is beginning to look economically viable in some parts of the world. A Swiss company, DLM, is already building new designs of small steam locomotives for mountain rail lines. There is the South African "Red Devil" - a modernized Class 26 4-8-4 . And there is the 5AT streamliner project being worked on in the UK. Despite being modern, I think the 5AT would pass muster...

http://www.5at.co.uk/

Of course, we'll not likely see them here in the US anytime soon. But places like Australia with little oil but much coal might. (There is a design for a monster 2-14-2+2-14-2 Garratt kicking around down there)

For my own Do Withouts, it would have to be all the children spawned by the growth and spread of freeways: i.e. national chains of food, retail, and service which have not only physically blighted our towns and countryside but also our very perceptions of what food, merchandise, and service are. People who grow up knowing only Tang and oleomargarine think butter and fresh orange juice taste wrong.

"Have you seen the muffin tops?
The muffin tops,
The muffin tops?
Have you seen the muffin tops
That bounce through Monrovia's malls?

Yes I've seen the muffin tops,
The muffin tops,
The muffin tops!
Yes I've seen the muffin tops
That bounce through Monrovia's malls!"



Or something like that.

Thanks for that Marc! Please note the thread "That Tune In Your Head". lol

Would post a link but haven't worked out how.

I could really do without ...

Words that are used only in advertisements. Real human beings never exclaim, "These barbecued ribs at Coco's are so zesty! What a hearty meal!"


Those men's razor commercials that appear to be selling a Lockheed fighter jet from somewhere within The Matrix.

It's not the tune that sticks in my head; what I can't forget is the scene in Shrek where Lord Farquaad is interrogating the gingerbread man ...


Do I get extra credit for spelling "Farquaad" without having looked it up?
