With all this talk recently about bathroom fittings, I'm reminded of 
something I heard on the radio the other day. One of these surveys done by 
people who really should find something better to do with their time found 
that women in general prefer to take a bath, while men prefer showers.

Once again, I go against the norm as I prefer a shower. Shall we do a 
mini-survey on uklc? What do you prefer, people? A bath or a shower?

Its really all to do with time.  I shower every day in the morning, I don't
have the time to run a bath, wallow in it, dry, shave. eat and be at work 23
miles away before 7 am.  I probably take two or three baths a year usually
after the semi annual clean up in the garden when all the msucles ache.

I prefer to shower every morning.  If I have time in the evenings or if I 
don't feel well I take a nice long bath. More for relaxation.

It's ages since I had a bath. It coincides with the advent of a decent 
shower.

I never have a bath in the summer.

I now find that a shower with some lavender, chamomile and ylang ylang 
is just as relaxing and gets me off to bed a bit sooner.

 Shower every time, Ally.  We are fortunate in having two bathroom. A shower 
room upstairs - the one that is being refitted - and a bathroom downstairs. 
We both shower at least every morning but after a hard day's gardening we do 
occasionally bath for the therapeutic effect on overtired muscles.
The downstairs bathroom has all the old Victorian fittings. A huge cast 
iron, rolled top, bath with ball & claw feet, a wash basin almost big enough 
to bath in and a  loo with the water cystern up  above on a lead pipe.
Best of both worlds.

Both of us shower, Ally. Last shared a bath on t'honeymoon LOL!!

I like a bath when I'm aching, with Salz and candles, but have a power 
shower which does the job on the poorly bits!!

Kezzi-prefers-showers-but-would-love-a-spa-bath...

So it seems everybody prefers a shower - male or female. Baths are only used 
either for relaxation or therapeutic reasons. Seems we're in agreement on 
something!

I actually enjoy showering. There's something wonderful about the feeling of 
hot water running down your body. I find it much more sensual than lying in 
a pool of warm dirty water. When I do have a bath, (like when I'm staying 
with friends or something) I feel I need a shower afterwards, and sometimes 
rinse myself all over with the hair washing hose if they've got one.

That sounds wonderful.  Dim lights and candles awww...  The house I grew up 
in had a tub something like that.  We have a big soaker tub but it's not the 
same.   The shape is wrong.

Good thinking. Keep letting teasers out. Maybe I should forget about writing

I'd like a shower but we only have a bath... One day, along with all 
the other things that need doing here, we *will* get a shower.

I *always* shower when not at home, something about getting into a 
container full of water that other unknowns have used in the past. If 
there is no shower I'll wash using the basin.

Timing, not being a morning person, it's just a wash down then whilst 
shaving. I find a shower after the day very refreshing for the 
evening.

Yes, I'd agree with you there. Since we work from home, we don't need to go 
out to work all smart and clean: we just get on with our work at home and 
try to look respectable enough if the occasional customer turns up. It's the 
end of the day when I tend to feel like a shower, rather than the 
beginning - especially if I'm going out somewhere later on.

I should do - I bet they're brilliant at getting mud and sand out of the 
dog's fur too. The shower makes an unholy mess... ;)

I have post-viral fibromyalgia syndrome and the power-shower is great for 
pummelling (sp) the 'trigger points' but sometimes overdoing it (it is an 
'addictive' sensation) can cause intense fatigue. How would I get to try a 
spa?

I've seen them at Hayes in Ambleside but never actually seen anyone using 
one. Maybe I should break the mould.... figuratively speaking.  Wrong side

I've been in a spa bath, outside, on Christmas day. Mind you it was in 
Bahrain...

"Toppled crane recovery suspended" ...
.... which was more than the bath was. Excellent...!!

I'd need an indoor one in the corner of the bathroom. Couldn't get a crane 
that size down our narrow street and there's only footpath access at the 
back :(

If I had enough water pressure, a shower in the morning would be good!

Mostly a bath in the evening, for relaxation.

No! You'd have to dress as a man. Not just a pair of trousers - you'd have 
to wear a man's suit or something - yes, complete with collar and tie.

My day brightened up eventually. I cheered up so much in fact 
that I decided to tackle the tax audit. Which was then 
interrupted by a call from a client who wanted to know something 
about a job I did in 1996. I can't remember what I had for 
breakfast. Anyway, the pharmacy then called to say three of my 
prescriptions have zero refills (I'm completely out BTW) and one 
of them was my blood pressure med. I've just been summonded to 
drive my son across the city to a hockey practice that just 
magically appeared out of nowhere onto the schedule.

Another day, another few grey hairs... which promptly fell out.

Aren't you a bit young to need all this medication? Is this what comes of 
doing the sort of work that earns lots of dosh? I think I'll just stay poor.

I know from running our own business several years ago, that when one 
felt energised and ready, that was the time to tackle the VAT or the 
Corporation Tax. We were a small business, so there wasn't a large 
volume of work, but it was the thought of getting those figures right, 
and the potential of getting them wrong which made it stressful. There 
was always the promise of a nice glass of Merlot at the end of the 
day.... It was best to tackle the buggers when you thought you could win...

Poor lad. He has a lot on his mind at the moment. Let him whine for a while.
Infact, let me whine too. It's snowing. 20cm is expected today. Orly drove
off to Kongsberg on summer tires. Give me a sedative.

This is the problem, isn't it? We girls can wear more or less anything from 
one end of the male-female spectrum to the other, and get away with it, but 
if a man tries the same thing....

Snowing! Yeah! I miss snow. It's years since we've had more than a light
dusting of the stuff. They're predicting a hard winter, though, so I may be
eating my words before long.

I should point out that it is my 84 year-old recently widowed 
mother who is being audited. She's anxiety-ridden, chronically 
ill and incapable of understanding her financial affairs. So I 
haven't mentioned to her she is being audited. The tax year 
being audited includes the year my father died of cancer. So 
naturally the government wants a full accounting of - you 
guessed it - their medical receipts! Can you imagine how well 
two eighty-something people in failing health kept their 
records? There's millions of them stored in every nook and 
cranny of their files and cupboards and boxes and dresser 
drawers and...

What is it you can remember from 1996?

I may be young-ish, but I am a medical marvel. I spend $800 a 
month on meds to stay alive (80% reimbursed by insurance). And 
yes, stress makes it all worse. No doubt about it.

But I'm a happy-go-lucky guy none the less, as I pointed out to 
Rex.

Blimey. Yes, I do understand. Been there, done that (except for the tax
audit, but all the rest of the lost documents, hidden papers, the lot...
relatives with Alzheimers, Parkinsons....you name it... ) You have my

I knew that would get you! That's the year we moved to Cumbria. I remember a

Oh well, at least it seems to be working, as you certainly *look* fit and
healthy and, yes, happy-go-lucky.

There's no point advising you to chill out more, is there? I'm sure you know
you should, but just haven't go the time.

He arrived 6:45 pm in one piece, high on adrenalin from concentration,
picked me up and drove me to a meeting. We just got back now, dinner in the
car, sausages in potato cakes bought at a petrol station and with a
chocolate bar for dessert. I love it when he takes me out to dinner.

 I've heard these predictions. Who are THEY? How the devil do they know, as 
they can't even predict weather  a week ahead?
I think its the thick coat manufacturers trying to sell their wares.

If that's half dead, then when you're completely dead your pulse would still 
be 31 pm. Scary...

You're probably right. And I've got quite enough thick coats already so they 
won't make any money out of me.

I think that you're relaxed. I just took mine and it's about the same. I 
looked on the internet for a calculator.

I stumbled upon this cheery tool on the Medindia website, which 
calculates "probable date of demise".

I see it has only one sentence. That will cut down on wasted

to finish it later this afternoon.

Hi Edith.

Have been so busy at work with flu shot clinics and other stuff haven't had 
time to read uklc until now.

Aw, give it away.  Go buy yourself something that flatters you now.  Life is 
too short for such things. Wear what makes you feel good at the moment.

I have three outfits that I like to call my power suits.  They are reserved 
for board meetings and when I have to plead my case in front of a city 
council.    That isn't that often.  My patients would think I'd come to take 
something away if I showed up like that at their doorstep.    You're right. 
It would scare 'em.  For me it's either scrubs or jeans/khakis and casual 
shirt.  Wore my Rolling Stones t-shirt today.  Think they would get a kick 
out of the big green kickers and wellies....

Middle-sized green and yellow, rough-skinned Melons which have sweet,

No, no, you see, you've already wasted precious reading time by counting the 
sentence! You could have read the whole thing in the time you counted up to 
1.

I'm going to Norway first. And then possibly Italy as I have a friend there 
who won't come over here. Another friend and I are thinking of turning up on 
her doorstep in Italy (we all went to school together) and dragging her off 
for a wild girly weekend in Rome or something. Don't know if such a plan 
will ever get off the ground, but it's a great idea, isn't it?

Each one seeking happiness
Thrown by three hopeful lovers
Which one will the fountain bless

Whims are good. I like whims. Better than concrete plans. And we're 
definitley going to Norway, something that may have started as a whim, but 
has now grown some solid foundations.

Norway is a lot like parts of Canada: without the sun intensity.

I like planning a trip. Makes me nervous if I don't know where 
I'm going to sleep at night. And with the high cost of 
travelling, I don't like to leave 'having a good time' to 
chance. Of course 'having a good time' means different things to 
different people.

Have fun when you go.

Ah. OK. So when I go to Norway I'll get an idea of what Canada's like - 
i.e., like Norway but brighter. And they speak English.

Having a good time tends to mean spending as little money as possible while 
spending as much time as we can with good friends in interesting 
surroundings on this trip, I suspect. An exceptionally good friend here in 
Cumbria has even offered to drive us to Prestwick when we go, and come and 
pick us up when we return, so we won't be having to pay for car parking at 
the airport.

But now they're talking about a really hard winter coming up, and I need to 
drive to Edinburgh in December... any tips for driving on bad roads from you 
lot in the frozen north?

Why not travell from Newcastle to Torp? Drive east instead of north. It's a
new route.

Some parts. Coastal Newfoundland and coastal Norway for example.

Yeah. Stay home until the roads are clean and dry again. You 
don't have the road clearing capabilities we do.
