Clothes line bans
I'd like to see bans eliminated, too, at least in situations where there is no compelling, valid reason to ban lines. More compelling than: "Mrs. Jones next door hates seeing your sheets!"
Ugly reality: a lot of neighborhoods have lots of rules of what you can and cannot do. My father owned a house once in such a neighborhood, and I heard a general list of what was not allowed:
-No laundry dried outside.
-Maximum 2 pets.
-No working on cars.
-Your house had to be painted an approved color.
-No satellite dishes allowed.
The last item might not stand; I think laws came along later that prohibited such bans on small dishes. Why we can't do the same for clothes lines is beyond me; however, I guess TV is an important industry, and the government wants to keep the satellite people happy. Plus a cynic might say that if the masses rot their brains out enough, they will be easier to manage.

Thank you for the compliment Cheryl
That pic was taken a year or so ago.
I tool the pic as part of a thread we had going here then. It was a fun thread.
Dejan (over in Serbia ) was doing was doing a detergent test with Persil detergent, and Ariel detergent, and he had deliberately stained a white cotton shirt with motor oil, spaghetti sauce, red wine, mud, lipstick..can't remember what else. He was comparing the two detergents on those stains, and he was using a European Front loading machine.
Just for fun, we decided that I would duplicate the test using a white cotton shirt, and I deliberately stained it with the same. The difference... I would be using a Maytag Wringer Washer, but only using Lye Soap with Borax.
So that pic was of that shirt, and the other whites that were washed with it.
Think we both had too much time on our hands LOL
