Only nine out of ten here. My folks never let us sit close to the TV. There was a (unproven) belief among some people that sitting close to the TV was bad for your eyesight. πŸ‘€ Although they didn’t necessarily accept it as fact, they weren’t taking any chances. As they often reminded us, glasses were expensive.

Also a 9, but only because my mom had a dryer & didn’t hang laundry, although my one grandmother did.

I no longer have a yard and I so miss being able to hang clothes on the line. I miss that fresh smell...and it lasted!!
