I love my clothesline for sheets and beadspreads. Of course I'm in the country and already gettho so I dont' care what the neighbors think. LOL
It's one of the advatages of living in the country although I'm finding fewer and fewer as I get older.

I still have my 15 year old dryer, and I am of the use it till it breaks families. In fact my husband will fix things until he can't anymore to keep from spending money on a new one. Sometimes that's a good thing, and sometimes not.
