    I would love to have a wringer washer! I remember my grandma having one and it sure got the dirt out!

    A few years ago, my then-boss's mom emailed me a picture of a 'mammogram in the old days'. It involved a wringer washer so I don't need to explain.

    I phoned her, got put through to her, and the first thing I said was, "YOU'RE A SICK PUPPY!"

    It took her a moment but then she cracked up laughing!

    (owww.......)

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    I remember these - tho I personally never owned or used one. Mom had one tho, which I remember from when I was a little kid. I was warned repeatedly to stay away from it when I was "helping" her do the laundry. Hers was in the cellar (basement) and Dad had also installed a laundry sink for her, so that piece of modern technology on casters, never had to be moved about to use it. Don't know whatever happened to it, but it vanished when the folks bought a new house and moved (I was about 9 at that time), and the brand new house had a brand new washer and dryer.

    Of course, that evil monster on wheels that was such a wonderful asset to have back in those days, had to attack at least once that I know of. It turned on my Mom - the very person who loved and cherished and took such good care of it. No - she didn't get her t--s in a wringer........it was her arm.....all the way up to her elbow. Fortunately I wasn't there when the attack took place, but this incident was used to warn me of just how ill-tempered this marvel could be.

    Mom wasn't seriously injured tho - just a lot of bruising (physically and mentally from what I was told of the incident) - and a lesson learned.

    Haven't thought about that in YEARS - thanks for the memory.
