Why they never told what Elizabeth died from?

Who washed Fred and Lamonts clthes because you never saw a washing machine or dryer on the show?

Why Lamont almost always got such crappy food to eat?

Who Grady worked for for 41 yrs till he retired?

Any Answers???

Why they never told what Elizabeth died from?
I'm sure we all have wondered that. I'm assuming they just chose not talk or make reference to it.

Now that's funny! Now that you bring it up your right there wasn't one. Maybe they went to the local laundry or had their laundry sent out, back in the day some people did that.

Why Lamont almost always got such crappy food to eat?
I don't know what you mean by crappy food. Some of the food that Fred cooked was "Soul Food." What may be crappy to you, is steak to others.

Who Grady worked for for 41 yrs till he retired?
Another good question! I would like to that myself.

When I say crappy I mean like those awful burnt breakfasts and those terrible dips and some of those bad lunch sandwiches like peanut butter and sardines and nobody black or white eats chicken feet aint no meat on them lol

Then you haven't been in the backwoods of the deep south, because there are some who do eat that.

Fred was a man's man, and some men from his era didn't care what it was as long as they eat.

Again JMO!

Actually if you look at any of the kitchen scenes i believe there is a old fashioned (really old ) washing machine on the left side of the kitchen.

There is a old fashion washing machine in the kitchen. It looks like it never gets used.
