I hate it when its cold. Makes taking a bath bloody uncomfortable.

I usually take baths indoors in the winter.

I used to wallow in a cold bath on a regular basis to increase nerve force. Since we have been fitted with a water meter it has seemed too much of an extravagance to continue however.

Hi,

 

I am wearing a pinstripe suit, bowler hat and have a folded copy of the Times.  I am taking cold showers regularly.  I have indoor plumbing.  It's raining.

As much as the internet allows some people to hide their identities, for others it´s a place where they can show themselves -- and be seen -- in a way that´s harder to do in "real" life.  We are such a visual culture and often that is where we stop, with the visuals.  Sometimes people can´t see past an image long enough to consider the person underneath.

 

In general, I don´t give much thought to the age, gender, or race of posters here. And that, in my opinion, is a good thing.  I don´t spend a lot of time considering whether or not bums are physically attractive.  I just read what they have to say.  There´s something very refreshing about that.

The best bath is the outdoor fire bath 

 

 

 

 

Mine is in the side bamboo grove in a little clearing, you can lie back in it at night and look up to the stars. Its just outside the window. I had a friend staying here for a while that loved it.  Her mother came to visit, she didnt like the bath much "People inside the house  ( meaning me )would be able to see you when had a bath ! " 

 

Dont think she liked the reply :  "So ?  We are mostly naked here anyway. " 

`

 

- Yep, its just like the Garden of Eden here (  and we didnt blow it by eating the fruit of the banned  brussel sprout tree ) . 

 

 

[ Actually,  I am getting bored with this face .... identity theft isnt as much fun as they make it out to be    .  I am off to find a really cool picture that makes everyone think I am special    ]

How could it, since there is no such thing!

It's fuzzy, but that's me taking a photo of neatly balanced pile of rocks in Arizona.  In ye olde days when the board used different software there was a photo section.
