I was waiting for someone to mention it too

realized it must be Canadian when no one did

Mars bar would be my second choice for *best eaten in layers*

first in *best all round taste & texture* bar

another Canadian no doubt

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. I always

had a stained palm afterwards, and it doesn't wash off very well.

Oh yeah, and when I was a kid, I used to eat Kool-Aid right out of

the packet. Straight Kool-Aid, no sugar, and only the red kinds.

Small amounts at a time, and it's very tart.

Yes, I've tried Jello powder too, but

it's nowhere near as tart as cherry Kool-Aid.

I've always liked sour things, like those

" sour apple " gum balls, rhubarb, or green

gooseberries. (We had a big bush in our yard.)

I liked green apples and pears too.

Warning: don't even think of trying unripe persimmons!

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

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! LOL

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).

So I'll hang up-side-down from my inversion bar and swing back

and forth to

get it dry.

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

I have never been able to understand why anyone gets out

of the bathtub (or shower; they are combined, in my case)

before they are dry. A wet soppy bathmat is so unpleasant.

Because after I shower the air around the tub is so steamy that I never

would get dry there, even if I used every towel in the house.

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,

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. ;-)

Bathmat? I don't use them anymore. It

would only get full of kitty litter,

as the box is under the sink, next to

the tub. No, I just spread out the T-

shirt I had been wearing, and step on

that when I get out of the tub, but I'm

mostly dry by then. ;-)

[Guest guest]

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.

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.

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.

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.)
