A Soak in the Bath versus A Quick Shower?

A long soak is on the cards tonight, my rubber duck pal to keep me company (people think I'm quackers), listen to the radio debates and music....sheer heaven.....then to finish, rinse myself off under the shower.......result....ultra clean.....aches and pains given the boot, then come on here and annoy everyone....absolute bliss :bigwink:
 

Showers only except when soaking to relax the muscles that are sore from to much exercize.


2. “Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater!”
Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had first dibs on the nice clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last to be bathed were the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it.
Hence the saying, “don’t throw the baby out with the bath water.”

When younger showering with my wife was interesting. Now old & wrinkly there is the unfortunate hazard of the wrinkles acting like the suction cups on an octopus. Hate using cold water to shrink the skin to break the suction effect.
 
Why is it that when you are blissfully submerged in a lovely bath....the doorbell rings....it happened to me earlier this evening? Did I get out of the bath to answer the door.......oh yeh, and pigs will fly.......no, I just turned the volume of the radio up and sang along to some of the songs, and the caller gave up trying to burst my bell-push with his/her thumb......feel terrific now...anyone fancy a tango? :yes:

No offense but....UGGGGGGGGGG
 
The last time I remember using dirty water that someone else had previously bathed in was about 50 years ago and thankfully that hasn’t happened since.

But my question is WHY did the men and boys have first dibs on bathwater?
Its not very gentlemanly.
 
I prefer a shower over a bath.
I used to buy the relaxing bubble bath stuff, but I don't seem to have the patients for it anymore.
 
I would rather take a shower than a bath anytime! I haven't had a bath since my mother made me do it and I hated it then. I wanted to take a shower then because I felt like I was bathing in dirty water. I've been taking showers for so many years and it feels so good!!!!
 
Two of my mates were talking about having their bathrooms remodeled. One was boasting that he was having two showers installed in his huge bathroom with signs in gold saying HIS and HERS. The other responded with, "I'm happy with the large shower I have already, my wife and I use it together, we don't need a sign 'cause we call it OURS."

I did smile at that.......:D
