I can't believe I completely forgot about Wonkette today. I had a busy day and somehow just never got over here. And just now I was a half hour late with the cats dinner! The horror.
The gif is sweet. I didn't realize that laundry soap was that old. Of course washing clothes was a horrible chore in those days. My maternal grandmother had an old wash tub with a wringer in the basement of their house. They also had a modern washing machine because it was the '60s. I guess she kept the old one to remind her how hard it used to be. Thanks Martini.
I was wondering if I was going to hear from you today. You know I relish your comments. 😁
I’ve been rushed with writing duties this week because I’m off next week entertaining a guest. So, I had to get next week and the week after’s gifs in for Rebecca. But, had I more time, I would have added a bit about the history of the drudgery of laundry. There are lavoirs all over the countryside around here and I always pity the poor women of prior centuries that had to lug all of their washing down to the stream and spend hours on the task of washing. We modern folk are blessed with washing machines and modern detergents.
Nice!
Now I kind of want to work for the Laundry Lab.
I don't blame ya! It's a really fun site. You could easily get trapped in an Internet wormhole for several hours over there.
Clean science!
