We shall see. Bummer about not getting to put your clothes outside! I read on the weather channel this morning that in July, Oklahoma set a record for the hottest temps of any state, ever-- so I'd say you had us beat that month, anyway.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-78666625657943419502011-09-05T00:02:25.371-04:002011-09-05T00:02:25.371-04:00Hi there, another Campaigner checking in!
I'm...Hi there, another Campaigner checking in!<br /><br />I'm quite a bit north of you in Oklahoma, and our heat has been bad, but I know it's nowhere near what you all have been getting down there. I'm praying the cold front we got this morning makes its way to you guys!<br /><br />I wish I had the space on my balcony to dry my clothes outside. I understand completely about refusing to add heat in the apartment, and to top it off, our dryer is on the second floor with the bedroom. 110+ temps outside and a hot dryer running on the second floor make for sleepless, very warm nights.<br /><br />Hope you get some coolness soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-59306068590866333132011-09-04T13:18:54.252-04:002011-09-04T13:18:54.252-04:00Hi, Nadine!

Perhaps the pendulum will swing back and it will be normal again, or at least not crazy-weird.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-38074546739973085752011-09-04T03:48:27.161-04:002011-09-04T03:48:27.161-04:00Hi, I'm a fellow Campaigner and fellow Texan (...Hi, I'm a fellow Campaigner and fellow Texan (Houston)! I'm also a dedicated clothesline user. Although I live right in the middle of the city, I have a spot in my yard that I can hang clothes without the neighbors knowing about it -- I'm a bit stealthy, I'm afraid! But I love the way the clothes smell when they dry outdoors, and I also like not using the gas to run the dryer!<br /><br />Good luck with the campaign!Nadine Feldmanhttp://nadinefeldman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-57964477730682710462011-09-03T15:39:39.323-04:002011-09-03T15:39:39.323-04:00@Christy: Rates are the same all day long here, so...@Christy: Rates are the same all day long here, so no joy there. Besides, it heats up the house to run the dryer no matter what time of day it is. :/<br /><br />@Danette: I remember my mum hanging up the cloth diapers all over the house in the winter! There are times when a dryer does make more sense... like when you need your clothes dry in a hurry.<br /><br />@Susan: We would take that rain!!Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-63625523549047075922011-09-03T15:15:34.036-04:002011-09-03T15:15:34.036-04:00I live in the country so I do pretty much what eve...I live in the country so I do pretty much what ever I want on my property.

I used to line dry all our clothes! (didn't have a dryer and at that time my little one even used cloth diapers!!!) But I don't do much laundry anymore and when I do it, I usually need it dry pretty quickly. Makes me think about the sheets though... Maybe I'll figure out something. I love that smell too!Danettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15043881305977386629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-33551457996052514632011-09-03T11:30:31.414-04:002011-09-03T11:30:31.414-04:00Hi Su:

So what they are doing is running dishwashers and laundry in the late evening. Utility bills drop. I can only speak for myself, but have noticed that too. Hope it helps you to save while staying cool:)Christy Farmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891965607401791893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-67155486871009672011-09-03T11:16:21.684-04:002011-09-03T11:16:21.684-04:00@Delores: My mum has a line in the basement, too! ...@Delores: My mum has a line in the basement, too!

I grew up with a large 30 ft in length clothes line, no matter the weather!<br /><br />I say give it a try.

Due to all the BBQ smoke drifting around our neighbourhood, and the volume of bird splats, I don't think it would be all that great an idea to hang clothes outside. <br />We are having another little heat wave here as well. I don't like using the ac unless I absolutely have to and I'm here to tell you that today, I have to.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
