We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

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 miss my tub in San Diego so much.

Had a brief moment of, "Huh? My tub is lousy." Then remembered that your former neighborhood is probably 50-80 years older than mine and got jealous of your former tub sight unseen.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay for boosters!

Nice, Trudy!

The only time I had a really nice bathtub it was in an apartment on the second floor that shook whenever a big truck went by. That made it really hard to relax and enjoy a bath. For some reason, when sitting on the couch it just felt like "oh, yeah, the building is shaking, like it does" but being in the tub felt like "the floor is about to collapse let me plummet to my death"

Eta: when I stay in a hotel and it has a really nice tub I really enjoy it

It was this tub.

House was built in 1943 but it always felt a few decades older. I loved that place. The tub was one of the best features.

Very nice!

So actually only 30ish years older than my neighborhood, but they definitely didn't try as hard on the bathrooms by the 70s.

I would have guessed it was built in the thirties. Actually thought I *knew* that but Zillow proved my memory unreliable.

'70s bathroom were no match for thirty/forty years earlier.

I'm glad to see that the original door, kitchen tiling and bathroom haven't be 'upgraded.' Even the non-compliant and unusable fireplace is still there. But that tub... I loved the whole place but that tub was My Place.

That’s a lovely bathroom, Cass

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We have a big deep pedestal tub, but we don't use it for baths. When we renovate the bathroom, we're having it taken out and replacing it with a nice big shower with a bench seat instead. Because we are old and the body parts that are falling apart are not very fixable, and getting in and out of a shower is a hell of a lot easier than climbing over the edge of a deep pedestal tub to use the shower fixture.

And *that* is what sucks about getting old and getting autoimmune diseases and really bad back issues: can't use the bathtub as a bathtub any more.

I *am* looking forward to a nice big shower, though. And a goddamn heated floor.

When I get my dream tub, it’ll need a hoist. But I am getting that tub.
