I saw a collection of flat irons in some country museum and the human effort in ironing with these must have been massive.<BR/><BR/>Anon, that's how I used to wash the winter blankets and the bedspreads in the bath and stomp. I only had a little tiny twin tub washer back then which was pretty efficient and economical on water.<BR/><BR/>Ampersand Duck has photos of the hail on the ground, still inches deep even in the sunlight. It was a helluva storm.JahTehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02007730071564639411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-19127841504841567282007-03-01T15:07:00.000+11:002007-03-01T15:07:00.000+11:00Do we all love the report on Al Gore's home having...Do we all love the report on Al Gore's home having an annual gas-plus-electric bill of $30,000 ?<BR/><BR/>RICH People aren't ecological and should all be killed to save the planet ?<BR/><BR/>My neighbour has 6 kids and a crap garden.<BR/>I am going nuts keeping trees and shrubs alive while not being allowed to use the amount of water it must take to bathe and launder for all those sprogs.<BR/><BR/>Big families are not ecological and possibly should be decimated to save the planet.<BR/><BR/>and thanks for the great photo CopperWitch - I can almost see the hand of THOR on that lightning bolt.BwcaBrowniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500142856655553009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-25460402815635796262007-03-01T08:03:00.000+11:002007-03-01T08:03:00.000+11:00JT, your methods are indeed quite commendable. So...JT, your methods are indeed quite commendable. Some people go much farther. I remember the beginning of the novel <I>The Accidental Tourist</I>, wherein the somewhat depressed, newly-divorced man learned he could do his laundry by putting it in the bathtub and showering while treading on it (that was the agitation part). Really humorous when I was age 20 and reading it in work of fiction, but then I learned this is the way blokes really do think.<BR/>And, Brownie's got it right: I use one lightbulb in my whole house at any given point in time, yet pubs and even some grocery stores have multiple TVs turned on, to an audience of zero. And nightime business outdoor signs. And so many street lights. And parking area lights. Why can businesses and institutions do as they please? Yes, the lightbulb thing is a token policy and is stupid. <BR/>BTW, does anyone know the science behind the fact that cotton bedding hung outside to dry smells so lovely? I pity the people who live in suburbs that prohibit outdoor clothes drying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-52238212546773529642007-03-01T00:10:00.000+11:002007-03-01T00:10:00.000+11:00.. everyone should walk around naked .. no ironing..... everyone should walk around naked .. no ironing, washing machines .. heh.Davohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02785126939071213905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17391176.post-28003422764224587462007-03-01T00:07:00.000+11:002007-03-01T00:07:00.000+11:00mm, my mum used Flat-irons parked on a combustion ...mm, my mum used Flat-irons parked on a combustion stove.
