Coding and Sleeping

I'm putting together the PTA newsletter and this is going to be the lamest newsletter I've done yet. Thank god for the book fair or I'd have to fill have the page with clipart.

What is this "bath" thing? 5-10 minutes under a low-flow showerhead with a trusty bar of Irish Spring, the cheapest soap the store carries.

My showers last 10 minutes at most. But I take an occasion OH SHIT bath.

I'm having another freakout (every other day lately, and my parents are in CO) but I don't need reassurance. I just had to mention it. OMG, so much to deal with.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

HOT only lasts a minute, is my problem.

I keep hot water trickling in to adjust for that. I loves a hot bath that lasts.

Punishingly Intricate

I love fancy soaps to smell and look at but I also don't ever use bar soap so they tend to just stack up when I get them as gifts. I do like to put the nicest smelling ones in my drawers, though. My drawers of clothes I mean.

I have taken more baths this year than ever before but they are interrupted by a baby. I love baths.

Sigh.

Oh, bath must be HOT.

Lobstah HOT. That's me...soak until I can't stand it anymore, then a big terry robe and extra towels...bundle up and sweat baybee. I love it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Long showers for me. I like to zone out with the hot water pounding on the back of my neck.

Anyone have any experience with on-demand water heaters? They seem like a good idea.

I support Jesse! Mostly! I like baths in fancy (okay, mid-range, Vegas "fancy") hotels where the tub is huge and reasonably comfortable and it all feels luxurious. When I get bath bombs I save them for vacations, where I can enjoy them. When I've taken a bath at home it goes, "Aaaaah.... eh. Okay, I'm bored and uncomfortable now."

And then I found out my water is ooky, and the tub area is kind of falling apart, so baths are right out. In the next month or so I'm planning to tear the tub out completely and just put in an extra-nice shower stall.

My only experience was in Puerto Rico and it was lacking mainly due to bad circuits. Kept over loading and cold shot happened.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

most of the people that I know around here that can, they are replacing their water heaters with the on-demand style. No complaints. One person with a long house put in two to keep the efficiency high. 1 person had a problem , but it was a minor part, not a big deal.
