We dried our clothing the old fashioned way.  We hung them up on the rail of the shower bar.  My wife was amazed:  let them hang there long enough–they eventually dried.  Our drier did not work.  We have been waiting on a back-ordered part for weeks now going on months.  It was a Maytag and we finally complained to its master company, Whirlpool.  The letter was dated almost three weeks ago and we have not heard from them.  We even included our E Mail address.  Whatever happened to good customer service?  Of course, this was the way clothing was always dried before the advent of electricity and driers.  It was now winter time and we could no longer dry it on the clothes line we had set up in the yard.  Thank God our washer still worked.  You have to do, what you have to do.  You need clean, dry clothing.  My wife, though, liked doing the laundry.  I just had to put away my own clothing.
