we living in the modern with machine help us do most the time consuming repetitive work , washing machine is one of the most useful stationary, i using it to wash everything which i putted in the basket , it just save me a lot of time ,i can read and talk with mates while waiting for the washing machine to finish 40 minutes each time . for once its went down i do everything i can try to restart it then it still doesn't work. i have no choice but to wash all by hands, well i struggle for about a half and a hour before i done them , my finger got blisters the chilly water make them nub, can you imagine how hard it is to do washing all the time without modern machine, from here i couldn't help to think it wouldn't be exaggerate to say life is brutish nasty and short for ancient people, back then what's you probably do when your washing gone down, washing them all by hands like me or just wait for repairing.

I had to wash my clothes by hand when I first got on my own. I couldn't afford to to a laundry mat for awhile! Then for years I went to a laundry mat,every week. A few months ago I got a free used washer and dryer from a person at work. I was so happy and everything was going well! Not as of yesterday! My agatater is not working and my clothes aren't being rung out! So I guess O have to get a repair man out! Not thrilled about that! I can't imagine how people did it,when they had to wash clothes by hand! Now things are so much easier! Life was so much rougher years ago! Yikes! I am glad I live in this time!

Oh gosh I guess I am spoiled! I can't imagine washing clothes by hand at all. I would rather go to the laundromat or better yet wait until I got it repaired, but of course cannot imagine waiting too long because then it piles up too much. Hope you get yours repaird soon so you can return to an easier way.
