My mom actually has a rope line that she hangs when she has stuff to hang out. I remember is that I pushed my bike under the laundry and hit my tooth on the handlebar. My preference is definitely the dryer.

I love my clothes line and follow many of the "rules". There is nothing like the smell of that fresh air on sheets, towels or anything you put out there. I will even use it when there is snow on the ground as long as the temp is above freezing, there is bright sunshine and a breeze. I put some stuff out late on Saturday and was mad because it didn't dry and I had to use the dryer! :lol:

I remember all of those rules LOL

Here in UK it is the norm to hang out the washing on the line!A lot of people still have a long line with a prop and some have a whirleygig like me. There is nothing like drying washing in the fresh air(Weather permitting!!) Tho it can be a bit hit and miss here!! (I do have a tumble dryer as backup particularly for the winter months)!!!

Oh, do I remember! My favorite thing was the smell of the clothes after we took them down.

I recall seeing them at Gram Ruth's house on Grampa's pants.

Oh wow, I do that but I didn't know there were rules to it. Whew, I am glad I didn't unknowingly break them. The clothes line police would be after me! LOL :D

I love my clothes dried on the line. On nice days I say "it is a good day for a hangin'!"

I often break the rules, especially hanging the unmentionables where they can be seen. lol
Our lines are in the back yard and can't be seen anyhow. lol #3 hanging the shirts by the tails makes sense, no pin marks on the shoulders.

I had to put them in my husbands national gaurd uniform pants. They were very fussy about the pleat being straight down the front and back of the leg. Glad those days are over. I am talking about the pants stretchers.

We had a "Maiden Lady" live with us when I was growing up and she taught me many rules, especially in hiding the undies. :wink: During the summer I hang a line up at the cottage for towels, the electric company used to send me a thank you every month, I think they miss my donation.

Yes, alas, I too have allergies so the sheets get dried inside.
