[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 733592, member: 21572"] Maybe it was the sound of an old-fashioned washing machine in the basement, clunking and grinding away on laundry day. A washing machine that long needed to be replaced. [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Yes! I had an old washing machine that seen a good 30 plus years of use... two adults, 4 kids (all put through cloth diapers), and towards the end it was spitting oil out into the clothes, made a racket like nothing I ever heard, and even got up and walked at times! LOL![/COLOR] Maybe it was the sound of an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine being run through it's paces. [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]My mom had an old treadle and I remember the peddle sound as she worked. I always thought it took so much coordination to think about what you were sewing, while at the same time, pressing down (again and again) on the large cast iron pedal to move the needle up and down.[/COLOR] Maybe it was the sound of rubber sheets being tugged off of baby's crib on laundry day. [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Oh yes, stripped many-a rubber sheet when changing baby cribs in my day![/COLOR] And maybe, just maybe, it was cloth diapers in your home, too, like it was ours, where the plasticy rustling sound of rubber pants could be heard when diapers were changed. [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]Yep, not only did those old rubber pants sound a plastic beat at change-time, they also sounded a distinct plastic beat when in place over an active little bottom, and I vividly remember the loud popping sound the pants would make when I administered a spanking through them! Pants also rustled gently when out on the clothesline on a windy day. [/COLOR] Maybe you remember the squeaky sound your outdoor pulley-clothesline made (or still makes) when you draw the line in and out. [COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)][COLOR=rgb(77, 77, 255)]My clothesline has always squeaked. I actually love the sound. It's the old-fashioned sound of frugality.[/COLOR][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
