I grew up with a wringer washer. We started using it when I was 7. We bought it because where we were moving to we knew we would have to generate our own power and that a fancy modern washer would not be worth it. My mother was OK with the decision to get one because she had helped her grandmother use one while she was a kid.
On ours, I had the privilege of being the first to get my fingers caught in the rollers. My mother did not stop it till it had rolled my arm through past the elbow. The memory of that sensation is still with me.
Besides avoiding fingers, we also quickly learned how to properly fold buttons in the cloths before letting them go through the wringers or else we would have broken or missing buttons. If a button broke but still was attached we still used it till it came off.
After a few years we bought a hand crank wringer. It came in handy at those times we could not generate our own electricity. We would pair it with 2 wash tubs and a wash board.
What did work we sold when we moved away from there. A problem we had was the bladder switch for the wringer kept deteriorating.
Kind of. We were able to order a couple replacement bladders that were lower quality than the originals and deteriorated faster. It got to the point for the last few uses I just rammed a syringe (without a needle) into the tube and would put air pressure in when my mother instructed.
I don’t understand how we can spend millions investigating Russian efforts to subvert our election through Facebook. I know that is oversimplifying the investigation but the only Russians implicated were a troll farm that used Facebook to spread lies and propaganda.
Politicians do this daily on all social media platforms. AOC and her comrades spread lies on Twitter constantly.
Remember the political ad ran in Virginia by the Democratic candidate for governor? The Ford pickup with a GOP bumper sticker running down “children of color”. How is that allowed?
To be fair, even some of Trump’s tweets are obviously untrue. Politicians are totally free to lie, misrepresent data, and make doomsday predictions that they say are supported by science. Well science is not a monolithic body nor is it is free of corruption and political bias.
The entire seven hour “CNN Climate Show” was an example of a massive media propaganda effort to push lies and misrepresentations about the climate and the science of global warming. Which is the foundation of what we now refer to as “climate change”.
If Chuck Norris was on the Supreme Court; they would all be 9-0 decisions.
Steve: HamPsters are sold in metric tons. hamsters are sold in Imperial tonnes.
An “antique” is something that’s been useless for so long, it’s still in pretty good condition!
Prometheus 5 – between time and Timbuktu – Thanks Kurt V & Bill…..Just Sayin’
I think Bill’s right about how important this story is. I think Trump’s re-election will be ensured the day he starts repeating like a mantra that letting men participate in women’s sports is unfair, and that giving children hormone therapy is child abuse. I’d like him to say something nuanced about people with gender dysphoria being mentally ill and deserving love, respect, and care from their families, friends, and neighbors, and perhaps from their states, but that the federal government has no business interfering, except to enforce laws preventing discrimination against biological females.
Wouldn’t it be lovely if the whole house of cards collapsed by Trump using this as a lever to end federal funding altogether of things like sports and education and family planning and so forth? (Of course, he doesn’t really need a lever, he could just do it tomorrow because almost all of that falls within his exclusive authority under the Executive branch.)
Seems to me that if we need to enforce laws preventing discrimination against biological females, then we need to same laws protecting biological males, especially white, straight, Christian males
No lie. Actually the 1964 Civil Rights Act and its progeny are mostly generic enough to support the plain-language reading that they do protect white straight Christian males from discrimination, and courts have so ruled. But there is a definite legacy from the Obama-era DOJ’s abuses.
I’ve always been a fan of the corgi bayonet.
I remember an electric wringer washing tub growing up. Barely.
I do, too!
I swear, every backstage episode has me laughing at some time. Love it!
Even more revolting than these ‘women’ winning tevents is the happy face smiles of the announcers and commentators about ‘her’ victory as if it’s all perfectly normal.
Not just normal, but morally right and proper, instead of the opposite.
I knew it was gonna get weird after Glamour magazine named Caitlyn (aka Bruce) Jenner “woman of the year” in 2015. I wasn’t wrong.
You needn’t worry about Joe Biden; there’s zero possibility that he will get the Democratic nomination. How do I know? Because the mainstream media drive that decision, and they have clearly decided they don’t want an “old white guy” for President. If they did want him, they’d be covering for his lies and bumbling, not calling him out on them. (And the reverse is how you’ll eventually know who they DO want.)
In keeping with the original topic:
You mentioned Mitch McConnell, who has never been held accountable for a nasty lie he perpetuated about Matt Bevin (who is now Gov. of KY). When Matt was challenging Mitch, Mitch made up the lie that Matt claimed to have attended MIT (as in, the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology), when in fact, Matt did not (implying that Matt was falsely inflating his credentials).
At the time I was curious about who was telling the truth, so I went to Matt Bevin’s website and looked at the resumé he had posted to see if it made the bogus MIT claim. It didn’t. What WAS listed was some kind of a management course or seminar (can’t remember the name now, but it had the same initials “MIT”) but the context made it quite clear that he was NOT claiming to have attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This was simply a lowlife lie generated and perpetuated by Mitch McConnell (aka, The Lipless Wonder). Sorry, I haven’t forgiven him yet.
I always thought the wording “this side towards enemy” on the Claymore was wildly amusing!
Loveland is in the foothills, the edge of the plains. NOT a ski town. Infested with bedroom community leftists who are triggered by reality. Give the gun enthusiast some credit: most of the locals carry concealed at the Sculpture Fair, while the sculptors and their supporters clutch their pearls.
I like that phrase, ‘triggered by reality’!
I don’t want to pigeonhole anyone but since Steve does the same (entertaining) thing each 3 weeks, possibly Bill and Scott could have a theme to their extra, bonus, burden episodes.
I loved my mechanical pencils in high school. One extra bonus was having only one I couldn’t lend it out and have a fellow student leave with it.
There are places you can take and show old farm equipment. Here’s one that was open over this last weekend. http://www.thresheree.com/
If you want a Little League trophy with your name on it, you can probably get one cheaper on Etsy than a lawyer would cost.
The only thing I have to say about cheerleaders is: it is a lot of work to keep your body in that shape and practice all of those routines. They’re a dance troupe with an image problem.
I wonder if anyone has ever mocked up a claymore sword as a bayonet.
Hah, Etsy instead of a lawyer!
You are right about the “cheerleaders.” They work hard and follow a lot of rules regarding not just weight and physical fitness, but public deportment. They all have day jobs too because the pay is so lousy. But it’s funny how the feminists haven’t been able to get rid of them. Like Bill says, you can’t beat the biology out of people.
