Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I used to put flavored jello powder right out of the package into the palm of my hand and then touch my tongue to it, and take the powder off in layers.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I rent, so ripping it out is not an option. I want one of those robo-vacuums; the ones that wander aimlessly around your house sucking dirt up. They only cost about $300, but I don't have an extra $300 laying around, so it remains a dream. My son likes to build robots, so I told him the ultimate robot would be one that can recognize belongings and put them into the rooms of their owners!

If my kitchen were carpeted, I'd move. Either that or rip out the carpet. Carpeted kitchen: UGH! I guess you like it Louis, but it would be unbearable for me. One of my secret dreams is that I want one of those vacuums made for people with allergies. The kind that don't spew dust out the back.

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 Both of these are funny, the visuals I get. I bend over and let my hair hang down before I get out of the tub, and dry myself from my neck to the bottom of my foot, step out with the dry foot (hair still hanging down) then dry the other leg and foot and step out of the shower backwards. Then I wrap the towel around my head and stand up. I don't want one little drip of water to come out of the shower with me!

He gave me one of those looks like " Ok, it's a Gail thing " . ;-) I go for spin-dry :^) I use towels, but it takes more than that to get my hair dry (I've got a lot of it).

Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 I am right there with you Jane! (if I get a wet sock - it's laundry!) for me the other thing is any moving air in the room will be painful on my skin when it is wet, epsecially my neck, back, arms and shoulders... so until I get dry I don't even like to open the curtain too far to grab my towel, and I like to get dried right off to my knees before I get out in to the room... the exception is very hot weather, or maybe right after a sauna or steam or hottub. I actually put a bolster under the dge of the door to keep the room temoerature constant and yell 'shut the door' the second it gets opened. this sensitivity varies dani Jane Meyerding wrote: > Louis wrote: > >I bend over and let my hair hang down before I get out of the > >tub, and dry myself from my neck to the bottom of my foot, step > >out with the dry foot (hair still hanging down) then dry the > >other leg and foot and step out of the shower backwards.

A wet soppy bathmat is so unpleasant. For me, drying myself off with a towel is unpleasant, so I leave puddles and trails of water all over the house. Fortunately, my husband does not seem too annoyed with me for doing this. :-) Take care, Gail :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you could get yourself to the non-drip stage, though, if you wanted to. But it's entirely a matter of personal preference and none of my business what you do in your bathroom. ;-) Jane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 I always get out of the shower or bath tub wet- I make a mess- it's kind of fun to me! I have a bath mat, but I have to wash it all the time since my kitty boys have decided to have pissing wars with it. I eventually have to throw the rugs away. Sometimes little Espresso cat insists on being in the bathroom with me while I take a shower. I leave the shower door slightly open and he meows his little frustrated meow- he wants to join me but he doesn't like the water. He watches me and thinks its a little game.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 I have a Boston Terrier that does that. He sits outside the shower doors (sliding glass) and waits patiently for me to get out of the shower. If the door is cracked open, he will nose it the rest of the way open and get in. He loves to be washed, but I can't stand little doggy hairs all over my feet while I am showering, so I make sure the doors are closed good.

Guest guest Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hi, I love Boston terriers. I've only seen one, but he was so cute. I have a pug. My pug used to jump in the shower or tub with me when she was a puppy, then she decided she didn't like being held next to the shower to get washed, so she would jump in if she thought I wasn't paying attention to her. She likes to splash in the water, and actually she really likes to drink the warm tub water. Ick. Now I just fill the tub when I want to bathe her and go get her and put her in. She'll jump out when I let go of her, but then she'll jump back in, in and out, making a big wet mess on the floor. Then she waits for me to wrap her in a towel, and pretends like she doesn't like it when I put her down (she attacks the towel and shakes it). I've heard some pugs don't like to get their feet wet, but Sasha doesn't mind. Camille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're more considerate than I am, I guess. Where I work, the water-heating equipment is in the mailroom. I have a mug of tea every day (in the middle of my " work day, " which is 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.). For some reason, I can carry the full mug of water to the mailroom just fine. But carrying it back the other way, I always dribble a line of water dots. (No doubt because adding the teabag changes the physics.) I'm sure some people think I should be out there wiping up every drop. But I figure, why bother when evaporation will take care of it? (Can't solve the problem by putting less water in the mug, BTW, because I'm greedy. The doctor told me to keep caffeine to a minimum, so I allow myself only two mugs of black tea each day. That means I have to make those mugs as big and full as I can.) Jane (employing her own kind of logic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
