I use a dryer because I have a small yard that is right next to the woods where there are lots of birds and squirrels and other such animals. My washer and dryer are right in my upstairs bathroom. How much more convenient can you get?
Also, I don't appreciate bird poop on my clean clothes.

Don't forget about volumes of laundry. People with kids.

Then there's people who live in apartments and townhouses. Condos.

Thievery - especially women's underwear.....

Some regions are infested with underpants gnomes.
 
No, but I'd hang Eric Holder out to dry if given the chance.

The definition of AGW can be loosely interpreted. It's happening, just not at the level the screamers believe, nor do I believe that mankind's involvement has had any perceptible impact.

That being said, I use a solar dryer for larger items (shirts and jeans), but the socks and underwear go in the gas dryer.....

I have a one bedroom condo that I rent out.

It's an attractive, good rental, but the building is older and they only had a downstairs laundry room when they built it. In the past, that was never a problem when renting the condo, but just in the past two years, every woman that calls about that rental asks if there is a washer/dryer in the unit itself. It became such an issue that I finally did install a washer/dryer in the unit, which seemed to really make it more attractive to potential renters.

I assumed that the concern was people were stealing women's laundry.

What I want to know is, who in Hell is stealing women's underwear, is it other women or unusual men?

 Don't the thieves concern themselves with sizes, etc? It seems strange to me.

To me also.

I haven't researched this, but my guess is that some of this underwear thievery is done by men with a fetish for these garments.

Hanging underwear out to dry is greatly appreciated by these people, I'm sure

Have you seen how they charge for women's clothes these day. }8O There's likely a black market for used under garments'

Difficult to believe it's that common, but apparently it is.

Maybe that's why so many women go commando nowadays,eh? (Plus you don't have to wash and dry what you don't wear.)
 
Anyone who thinks the climate is not changing is in denial. Within my life time my climate has significantly shifted. Septembers used to be dry as hell, but now it;'s the rainy season. May was also dry, but now it's resembling April. November USED to be the rainy season, but now it's quite warm and of little rain. Rain patterns are shifting and it's happening in less than 20 years. And anyone who's an outdoorsmen knows that flora and fauna changes are happening way earlier than they use to.

As for hanging clothes, you should do regardless of what you believe on AGW because a drier is hard on your clothes. Hanging clothes makes them last long.

Poll is bad. What if you have PV? Or get your power from primarily Hydro or Nuclear?
 
Everyone in our house does their own laundry. My wife will sometimes do mine for me, but by and large we're all responsible for doing our own laundry and we use an electric dryer - our local power is generated by fossil fuels.
When I was a kid we my mom hung the laundry by a clothesline that stretched from her bedroom window to the telephone pole in our backyard. I don't have a convenient place for a line in the yard and even if I did I'd still use the dryer, it's just easier.
Actually afaik no one around here hangs their clothes on lines.

Yeah it's wasteful but I make up for it a little by not really using the car all that much. Between my wife and I combined we average about 50 miles/week driving.

As I suspected it is the real women that hang laundry, the warmer women don't.

More likely you ASS-ume... in highly urban areas the room for and privacy issue becomes important. Many neighborhoods/high density buildings ban clothes lines. Now when we first moved to the country we used a clothes line for almost everything (women can be a bit odd about their unders out waving in the breeze. Our teen-aged daughter didn't want all the kids on the bus seeing her unders out there, damn sure didn't want the boys seeing her MOM'S :shock: ) These days with the many years of drought, not so much, the laundry gets a good dusting that you smell on your clothes and sheets.

It would appear retirement has some thinking of smirky things to bring to the rest of us... perhaps there is some truth to the old saying- 'idle hands are the Devil's playmates'.

I suppose 'real' women are those who are at home long enough during the day to hang laundry to dry vs those who have a job during the sunny hours. Maybe 'real' women are those who live in Appalachia out beyond the power lines.

Course to an old coot laying in his hammock the amount of energy a dryer uses may seem large, others may see the use of single occupant vehicles clogging the highways everyday to haul office workers to and fro the cities they fled as a far bigger 'warmer' issue. Perspective.... :peace
 
I thought warm women was code for big women.

It would be interesting to see if women believe in climate change more then men though.

I remember when I was a little kid, there were a few women in my neighborhood who had their panties stolen off the clothes line! :lol: At least they were clean, right?

Probably not so clean after the panty fetishist thief got done with them. :lol:

Why you starting and stopping with dryers? What about washing clothes, washing dishes, cooking, cleaning?????

Air conditioning and heating????
Click to expand...

Power tools, automobiles, busses, trains, trucks, cars, airplanes, television, computers, ipods/ipads, backyard grills, gas-powered lawnmowers, tractors, power farm implements, manufacturing...

...and yet, sawyer decides to single out only females who use a freaking clothes driers? Men use them too, along with all the other things I've listed.

Just another one of sawyer's "women are bad because [fill in the blank]" threads. Nothing to see here. Move along.
 
ChrisL said:
Yeesh, that's another great point. Towels tend to get hard when line dried, even sometimes in the dryer without fabric softener. I just love my fabric softener. What can I say? I'm a modern girl. ;)
Click to expand...
The thing is, fabric softeners build up on the fabric over time. And it ****s up your towels.

Fluff them in the dryer on low heat.

And don't dry them on the line in the full mid-day sun. Overcast and windy is much better.

Two questions?

1) What the heck is a 'warmer woman'?

2) And why is this question directed only at women?

Is this 1950? Do men not dry their own clothes?
