Bienvenidos

Hola Carolyn,

I made a few changes to your user page, just deleting the instructions like INTERES#1 and added in a few links. Do you still not have a telephone number? Hopefully your experience in Parras will build upon and engage your current AT experience... there are many clotheslines and some organic gardens. --Lonny 18:36, 14 June 2007 (PDT)

Here are quite a few more links that should help. --Lonny 21:47, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

Drying clothes

Hi Waterfaery,

I noticed your interest in clotheslines - are you aware of the page Washing and drying clothes? In particular I'm interested in making it easy and convenient for all people to wash and dry their clothes (the poor are just as entitled to this as the rich in my view) but in a way with minimal negative environmental impact.

Are clothes usually handwashed in Parras? If so I presume they wring by hand as well? Check Washing and drying clothes#Spin-drying or wringing. I'm guessing that it shouldn't be too hard to build a cheap wringer. Let me know your thoughts.

Btw lots of other interesting stuff on your user page as well. --Chriswaterguy · talk 01:28, 22 July 2007 (PDT)

Did you get the memo?

Hola Chriswaterguy, No, I wasn't aware of the washing and drying page. Thank you for informing me- as soon as I get a leisure minute I'll be wandering that way!

I'm not sure the usual way of washing clothes here- I just know that at my house they have a crazy looking (according to the idea of what a washer looks like to my american mind) but muy modern washer. Then they have the clothes lines strung up to dry them. I don't know if they hand wring them.

But this I do know- I was at another student's house the other day and his host mom was asking me who washes my clothes and how they do it. I told her they have a machine and the maids are in charge of that chore. She got this look of superiority on her face, puffed out her chest, and tilted her nose up in the air as she declared "I wash all his (my friend's) clothes BY HAND." And the little kangaroo said hump too!

I'll ask around for more info on washing and drying and let ya know. Carolina --waterfaery72
