BWT, what's with women and baths? I mean I get that they're relaxing and all, but they just seem unhygenic to me. You're basically stewing in your own filth, like some sort of 'you soup'. Although reading the book in the bath is far superior than trying to read one in the shower.

Well i dont know about the other ladies, but im usually not filthy when i get into a bath...tend to shower every morning and night...or shower in the morning with a bath at night....i certainly don't spend my day rolling in mud, so am usually not "stewing in my own filth"

okay, then maybe your blanching in it, or possibly sauteeing... j/k Naw, I men I get it now, sort of, it's just odd to me. It's like my gf taking a shower and not washing her hair. I'm like, 'How can you not wash your hair? And if you're only washing it once every two or three times you shower exactly why do you have six different types of shampoo and four different types of conditioner in the bathroom along with your collection of loofas and body scrubby things and that wierd back scrubber thing of yours?' Oy.

No but you've collected dirt and filth along the way. Just going outside, you sweat and dirt lands on you, I mean you don't have to be mud wrestling, but you're still somewhat dirty even if you showered that morning.

True true but not in the extreme sense that you're going to be dirtier once you step out of the bath....

But you aren't fully clean, thats his point, so a bath is great to relax, but it's not conducive to getting clean. I don't recommend a bath for the sheer purpose of beong clean.

No i totally agree...its not a cleaning ritual but a relaxing one...dont even get me started on putting children in baths...that is definitely not conducive...

My sisters and I always had a bath, but my parents ran the water to get clean water to rinse off the soap and stuff. You can't really bathe a baby any other way, you can't really take it in the shower, that would scare them. We started showers with our mom at age five and by age six we were showering on our own.

hehe, see my brother and i just got tossed in the kiddy pool and hosed down.

wow, your parents must've really loved you....

You can take a baby into the shower with you my sister-in-law did it all the time with her children. They never had a tub just a shower....you just hold them against you and bath them that way. So it can be done and it does not scare them at all.

Tough love, El, tough love. We didn't nurse, we hunted for our own food. Kids today, they got it easy. lol

tell me did you spear the tiger yourself or did you let your dad do it? And were those lion clothes as uncomfortable as they look?

Speared it myself, but he did nap the flint for the spear point - my hand-eye coordination was terrible at three months, and the lionskin clothes were quite comfy although there was a whole 'swinging free' issue, I mean we went commando until they invented weaving. Really the only bitch was getting them away from their previous owner.

Smart ass.

LOL I have 3 older brothers and you know how they say boys will be boys will it is true....my mother says her sons were raised by wolves

I do agree kids now days have it so easy it some times makes me sick to think about it. But then again you do have to factor in the how and the where children are raised.....but yeah they got it easy.

Well I'm just guessing here but you didn't spend you summer 'vacation' bucking bales and stringing barbed wire fence. By the time I was old enough to drive I had more scars and broken bones than I care to think about. One particularly fun summer I was thrown off the top of a hay wagon and fell 15 feet into some fence and the barbs tore through my shirt laid open a patch of skin about 4 inches long on the back of my right shoulder and all I got was a 'Hurry up, those bales won't load themselves onto the conveyor!" So you know, easy compared to that.

RM

In my father's defense neither of us knew I'd been seriously hurt until the blood started dripping down my arm onto the bales.

i think the term "easy" differs due to upbringing, not the generation in which you were born... my parents certainly didnt have to endure any of the above, but still had their fair share of hardships...and i wouldnt say my childhood was easy even with the lack of "physical" hardship..
