John, I so know what you mean about the baths. When I was travelling in China, I so longed for a bath. Finally we decided to stay in one nice joint-venture hotel so we could take hot baths. Ahhh!
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
The house I lived in my year in England had just a bath, no shower, and I hated it. If I could only have one, I'd choose the shower in a nanosecond. Baths are nice for the occasional relaxing soak, but I always feel cleaner after a shower, and they're warmer early in the morning in a cold house.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
But it's easy to add a shower to a bath (just attach one of those showerhead on a cord thingys to the tap and hang it up above you.) Shower to bath? NSM.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
It is unless the bath tub is under an eave, and you're my height. Lived in an apartment like that for two years, and always hated taking my showers sitting down. My next apartment had only a shower, and that was far better. Now I have both. Yay!

My first reaction to this is that you've made the mistake of thinking baths are to do with getting clean.
I quite agree that showers are better for that. In fact I sometimes have a shower before I get into the bath, if I'm feeling especially grubby.
What?
What?

The only one of those I've ever tried had crap water pressure, though that could've just been the house. Anyway, it wasn't an option when I was in England, what with the whole being a volunteer worker staying in someone else's home thing. Especially given that my hostess and I weren't getting along that well--even if I'd had the money, I wouldn't have dare attempted home improvement projects. Loved England. Hated my living situation.

It's a remora, dimwit.

Well, if you're stuck in a house with no other options....

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I find that my skin was clearer when I could bathe.
I hate showers. If I had to choose, it would be bath all the way.
