Yeah, it definitely wakes me up.

Especially at four in the morning.
Problem is, when you get out you're all warm and if you lie down you go right back to sleep.

In this weather, like to start out the shower with warm water and gradually make it colder and colder until it's damn near freezing.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Never more than once daily, unless it's really HOT and I take a soapless shower just to cool down, or I've just been in circumstances that make me feel really dirty (like major labor leaving me really covered in somethiung that shouldn't be there, or at least sweaty as a hog).

The French smell, and their women don't shave their pits, I heard...... :|~ I don't know what it is, but seeing a woman with armpit hair triggers my puke reflex...
Sorry to burst your French bubble...
I'm French, I shower everyday (at least once a day) AND I even shave my armpits.... and wait for it.... Most French women I know have the same hygiene standards! :o

Turns out, the French are cute, clean and hairless... :FIO:

Hmmm.... does he think Brits bathe only once a week? Do Brits only bathe once per week????
Um.... No, I think he's saying that if everyone replaced one [of their several] baths per week. As he well knows, most Brits bathe in front of the fire at least once every three days, if they have the coal.

:funny:

LOL - I HOPE that's what the Prince means. I'm a bit surprised at his assumption that the British people take multiple baths per week.... I mean "baths"? Filling up the tub with water and sitting in it for a period of time? It's quite an inefficient way to bathe. I can understand women taking baths for relaxation purposes - hot water - oils, bubbles - they like that sort of thing for enjoyment..... but, for hygiene? A shower is far more efficient and hygienic.

How many baths does the average Brit take a week?

A well-groomed bush makes you think of little girls? Now I REALLY think the French are weird.... :biggrin:

Everytime I hear/see this I think it's a bit odd...there is a big difference between a pre and post pubescent vagina that has nothing to do with hair...
I know, but hair growth is the first and most obvious sign. Now, I haven't made a full comparative study of the differences between little girl and grown girl genitals, but I always am under the impression that removing the hair aims at looking too young for ... whatever.

I miss the time when you could catch a glimpse of hair that the swimsuit failed to cover.
I think it's for hygiene and grooming purposes - a shaved vagina looks quite nice. It's also much nicer to perform certain services without a machete being necessary to cut through the underbrush..... :biggrin:

Last time I had a bath was when I went down with chicken pox a few years ago. It's showers all the way for me - at least once a day usually.

Shower every morning, a bath every other night. Like to read the paper in the bath. And post on Ratz. Preferably with a stiff drink and some nibbles.

I shower every day and as I have a love of baths, also take a bath about 3 times a week.
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

I shower daily... at night if I want to relax I take a bath and think or read music books. Very very relaxing. I don't mind paying a bit extra on my bill for my self-indulgence.
I can live with doubt, and uncertainty, and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong.

It doesn’t frighten me. - Richard Feynman
