Cannot function without morning shower. Feel gross. See all the contortions and torture I put myself through when I had either no hot water or no water. Bucket bath, screaming icecold showers, pots and pots of water heated on the stove....

I am right thinking like Scrappy.

Showering is not so much a cleaning ritual (though that does occur) for me, as it is a way to jump start various balky systems, most importantly my sinus cavities. I need a full spray of hot water in my face for ten minutes to just to get my nose functional. Also, there's some lower back maintenance involved.

I prefer morning showers if for no other reason than to get my hair under control. This morning I woke up and Joe looked at my bangs sticking straight up and cringed. He said, "You're looked a little 'Valley Girl' this morning" "The girls or Nicolas Cage", I asked. He winced and left the bedroom.

I like to shower in the morning, but frankly I'll take my shower whenever I can get it. I also agree that showering is for getting clean, baths are for relaxing.

I prefer a shower in the a.m., although I've been known to rinse off in the evening if it's been a particularly hot & humid day.

More often, I will wash my feet before going to bed, and I'll sometimes ask my DH to do so because I can't stand the thought of filthy feet in the sheets. We're both barefoot people and we get dirty feet!

prefer night showers, have sometimes now resorted to evening showers to gain more morning sleep.

I have a natter question for y'all. Now, like all right-thinking people, I start my day with a shower. As a matter of fact, I am not sure I could FUNCTION without a shower. My BFF, OTOH, thinks that's odd and always showers after dinner, so she can get into bed all clean. I should add that in cool weather I often take a bath in the evening as well, but I kinda consider that as relaxation and not hygiene. What do you do?

I really don't like showering in the morning. Shock to the system. And anyway, I prefer evening since that's when I do my hikes, and then I go to bed clean, etc. I don't find it odd to want to shower in the morning though.

Not as odd as the waiters who insist on refilling my coffee before I've finished the cup. And they are not always shooed off easily. I have the milk/coffee mixture just right, don't f*ck it up, thank you very much.

I shower in the morning to feel human. Though if it's been a particularly sweaty day due to heat, exercise, boss scrutiny or whatever, I'll sometimes take another in the evening to feel clean and relaxed for bed.

Chris Hitchens wishes waiters would stop refilling his wine glass.

He never ceases to amaze me with the sheer glorious random range of his rantery. He can't, he won't be pigeonholed -- he's a positive omni-raging Renaissance man of batshittery.

ION, I now have absolutely no idea when Emmett's game is, or whether he and Hec will be coming home anytime before July. I'll just go get Matilda as usual tonight and wait in hope.

Happy birthday, Dana! Happy birthday, big girl Ellie!

I shower in the morning to feel human.

Yeah, I don't feel right and clean until I shower.
