Do You Let It All Hang Out?


How do you dry?

I have a clothesline or a rack.
I use a dryer for most of my laundry.
I would use a clothesline if I could.

2. I find that laundry hung on a line becomes stiff and covered in pollen.
Or perhaps it's Mothra-sperm.

5. Inside for our health's sake
We have to dry our laundry inside or it would all be yellow at this time of year. When as a child, my sister developed severe asthma Mom had to change from line drying to using a dryer. It makes a world of difference in a family with the allergies ours has.

3. I use the dryer mostly on rainy days only.
And we have few of those in El Paso.

4. Dryer.
With the un-parented little miscreants I have running around my neighborhood, it wouldn't take long for my clothes to disappear if I hung them outside.

6. I wish there was an environmentally friendly way to dry clothes other than a clothesline. n/t

7. Yes, and I go out there nekkid to retrieve the thongs
LOL -- sorry, you were asking for it. :)

I clotheslined nearly always in the midwest. In Georgia I used to manage it most times of the year, except of course pine pollen season (for those of you unfamiliar, there is so much of it that it sometimes gets a quarter inch deep like a yellow/green snow)

Clotheslining is a challenge for me now as I am a wheelie and it's just too challenging to keep the clean clothes out of the fire ant mounds. :)
