I bath, then I have a shower, to rinse thoroughly. I grew up in a house with a bathtub only, so I always feel cleaner after a bath. But my baths are never terribly long, because I hate the prun-y feeling.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I'm an every-other-day hair washer so I easily tub half the time.

When I want a bath but I only have time for a shower, a put the plug in during the shower, so at least my feet get a bath. Bathing the feet provides a suprising amount of relaxation...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I can easily spend 5 hours in the tub. I got one of those bath rack thingies for my birthday, so I may be able to last longer nowMy get clean baths are much like PM's (not terribly shocking to me). But for spa day it's bath then shower.

I normally wash my hair in the sink- the current abode has a large sink in the bathroom which is okay for that, and no shower. If it had a shower, I'd wash my hair there.

Geez, I never had enough patience to really fill the tub... all my baths used to be kid baths, where you put a few scant inches in and scrub a lot.

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I was going to mention those but thought I'd make my mom sound cheap. 40-gallon baths are strictly entertainment for me, as well as 20-minute showers. Normally I wash face, feet, armpits and groin and get outta there.

Our wings are not tired.
I haven't taken a bath for years for cleaning purposes. I generally shower a couple times a day.
The spa is my friend. At the end of almost every day DH and I relax for a while in the spa outside. We have a drink and discuss the day. Not for very long, perhaps 15-20 minutes just washing off the day. In the summer we use the cooler pool for the same purpose. It is my favorite time of day.

That sounds lovely, Laura. I shower alternate showers and baths. In an ideal world (one where I didn't have to be at work at 7:30 am) I would shower every morning and take a bath each evening. No combining them for me, as L.A. has separate showers and baths--don't know why, but almost every home and apartment is this way. It leads to larger bathrooms and nice tile shower stalls, so I ain't complaining!

John, insent. I realised after the event that I replied to your work address, hope that's OK.
