Mine won't let me wash HER clothing, okay if I wash mine. Obviously I
know nothing about womens drawers or bras, even after being married to
her for fifty years.

I wish we could do that, too many grackles around to hang anything out.
Our daughter had a dryer go out and she replaced it with a clothes line,
the way we did clothes when she was a kid. We had a dryer back then but
seldom used it unless it was raining. MIL used to hang her clothes on
the line up north when it was cold. Wait a bit, go out and break the ice
off them and bring them. She claimed they were dry, I never looked to
see if they were. I don't think the inlaws ever used a dryer until they
moved into an apartment complex for the elderly.
