'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

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.

Nobody

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.

That's OK, thanks Fiona. I'll be at work soon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Three minutes into the movie and I'm already yelling at the screen.

They had the President of the United States saving the world by climbing into a jet fighter and blowing stuff up and this is what you yell at? ...Damn, it's good to be back.

Have any unamericans had experience with the squatting style they want to share?

FTR, and this may be because I've been away a while, I read 'unamericans' being pronounced like the Unabomber. Which I like to think enhanced the experience.

At first I found it really difficult, but I got used to it after a couple of days, but I didn't find any kind of transition problem coming back to "western" toilets.

Y'know, I found driving on the right to be much the same. ...Ok, maybe not that much the same. But you know what I mean.

And, FTR, I find myself firmly in favour of both baths and showers, especially where other people are concerned, for I am a long-time user of peak-hour public transport.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

I just (finally) saw Pyscho Beach Party. The User Comment at IMDb sums up perfectly how I feel about this excellent, low-budget comedy, so I won't write too much here (as usual). All of the acting was superb, with Lauren Six Feet Under Ambrose giving a wonderful performance as Sally Field playing Gidget while making Sybill.

I also have to say that Kimberley Davies was a surprise. I only know her from the godawful Aussie soap opera, Neighbours, so her delightful turn as a Marilyn Monroe/Jayne Mansfield z-grade movie actress, was a revelation.

Oh and Nicholas Brendon had a lot more screen time than I expected, so that was cool. :)

He also (sort of) faced up to Channon Roe again. Channon is the actor who played "Jack" in season 3's, "The Zeppo".

I yelled more, believe me. Probably most when Jeff Goldblum interfaced with an Alien starship using Mac OS 8, which would barely to talk to a Windows NT server on a good day.
