No and No... I was actually wearing a towel when I wrote that, now that
I think about it. Anyhow, I was really just kidding about taking my
*Kay Bee Toy and Hobby* (more the "Big Lots" of Toy Stores) framed
Stone Cold Steve Austin framed 8x10 with me... though I was thinking I
could put it on the little beer ledge and tell my opponents that if I
scratched, I was going to get pissed and turn it into WWF-style
billiards. ANYHOW, I contributed another post to n.general but I guess
I found their TOTT limits because, it being a moderated group, I
noticed my commentary'd apparently A. channel-2000'd it's way too, too
far from the original point and B. had an awfully rank comment
regarding a bowl of chile in it. Want I should share it here?

Hey, Mr. Clean's hot. Hotter then Ventura even. IMHO, Mr. Clean should
just go ahead, come out, and start dating The Tick (talk about
tights!). Anyhow, I could make a really tacky play on words by dropping
an "e" in "bowl" in "bowl of chili" to further elaborate on the
resultant facial expressions (huh-huh-huh I said "facial") but I'll be
thinking of the teenagers, not doing that. Hey look! It's Millertime.

I was still drying after my shower... SURVEY TIME!!!

1. Do you "drip dry"?

2. Do you "lather, rinse, AND repeat"?

3. What brand of soap do you use?

4. Guys: Do you shave IN the shower? (OK, any females in the group that
have a beard, feel free to answer too.)

5. Do you have a Shower Curtain or a "door"?
5a. Do you have a preference between the two?

6. Do you close the bathroom door when you're in the shower?
6a. Do you lock it?
6b. Do you live alone AND lock it?
6c. S. James only: Do you live alone, close the door, lock it,
set the intrusion alarm, and sanitize the whole stall before AND after?

7. Do you have a mirror in there?

8. Do you have a Rubber Ducky like me?

9. Do you have an ample supply of "hot water" for your showering
preferences?

10. Do you find that having sex in the shower is never as good an idea
as it actually seems?

SURVEY TIME!!!
>
>1. Do you "drip dry"?

No, although with the dry air around here I easily could. In order:

1. Switch off water.
2. Shake off excess water from body.
3. Carefully open shower curtain so as minimize loss of super heated air.
4. Grab towel and switch off fan in one motion. <Note: curse if I realize
towel is still in closet>
5. Dry off, making sure each foot is dry as I lift it to step out of tub.
6. Roll each testicle in right hand and check for lumps. <monthly only>
6a. Quickly look around to make sure I didn't leave the blinds open.
<monthly only>
7. Dress as applicable.

>2. Do you "lather, rinse, AND repeat"?

Uh-uh. Marketing ploy only.

>3. What brand of soap do you use?

Ivory soap - because it's 99.99% pure (not unlike my Purity Score if I add
the "in the last 6 months" qualifier).

>4. Guys: Do you shave IN the shower? (OK, any females in the group that

No. I shave prior to showering.

>5. Do you have a Shower Curtain or a "door"?

Curtain.

> 5a. Do you have a preference between the two?

Yes. Curtain - because I can throw it away rather than have to clean out
nasty grout stuff.

No - how would I hear the music?

Noooo.

Nope. Just lather and rinse. Sometimes. My hair is so short I really don't
need to shampoo it every day.

>3. What brand of soap do you use?

Lever 2000 but I really prefer Bath & Body Works Shower Gel (vanilla or
flowering herbs scent)

>4. Guys: Do you shave IN the shower? (OK, any females in the group that

Well, most of us females shave OUR LEGS and PITS, and I do it in the shower.

>5. Do you have a Shower Curtain or a "door"?

Door. Which, incidentally, the handles fell off of yesterday. As well as the
little bar that I assume you're supposed to grab if you slip. So let's all
hope I don't slip.

> 5a. Do you have a preference between the two?

I like having a door because I HATE mildew-y shower curtains. Ick ick ick
ick.

>6. Do you close the bathroom door when you're in the shower?

Not all the way. Cat needs to come in and make sure I'm okay.

> 6a. Do you lock it?

No. I'd be too afraid I'd lock myself in.

> 6b. Do you live alone AND lock it?

Yes I live alone, no I don't lock it.

> 6c. S. James only: Do you live alone, close the door, lock it,
>set the intrusion alarm, and sanitize the whole stall before AND after?

LOL

>7. Do you have a mirror in there?

Yeah, I just got a new ceiling-to-floor shampoo and misc stuff holder
thingie and it has a mirror on it. I don't know why; I don't shave and it
always steams up anyway.

>8. Do you have a Rubber Ducky like me?

Why yes, as a matter of fact I do.

>9. Do you have an ample supply of "hot water" for your showering
>preferences?

Only if no one else has taken a shower first. And I never have enough for a
full hot bath if I want one.

>10. Do you find that having sex in the shower is never as good an idea
>as it actually seems?

Yes. Although it's been awhile, I'm sure nothing's changed.

nope, and a little tip to all you people here, only one shampoo is
neccessary, too much can dry your hair out...<unless you are THAT grubby and
greasey then do two>

so one shampoo and then a conditioner

No, but here is my shower routine: (I am female, and my showers are only 4
min long--I have timed myself). Anyway....turn on faucet, switch diverter,
get towel out from closet, get undressed. Stand in shower wet hair, shampoo,
put in conditioner, clean body, rinse body and conditioner. ALL done. If I
have to shave my legs, then I take 10 minutes, in which I fill up the tub qith
an inch or two of water after my shower, sit down and shave my legs amd
armpits and rinse off the legs. I cannot shave while the shower is going. I
hate the droplets make the shave gell drip down my leg.

>

Hmmmmm varies. I usually use Bath and Body Works glycerian soap. Afew
years ago I found that regular soap (Caost, Dial, Caress) was making me itch.
Since this is a hick town and our mall does not have a B&BW (told ya my mall
had yours beat), and I have to travel to Savannah I can't replenish the supply
that often. Currently though I am using my last sliver of B&Bw soap, and
there is also a bar of Lever Rain in the shower.

No, but in the mornings I brush my teeth in the shower. And I will admit

I have a fabric plaid madrais curtain that I got from Speigel last year
for $4. I practically stole it from them, witht at $20 gift certificate I got
from them when they sent me a pre-approved credit card, and a free catalog (I
am speaking of that thick $10 catalog).
I prefer shower curtains. I just like adding some kind of color to the
room.

6b. Do you live alone AND lock it?

When I am alone in the mornings, I lock the front door (or
rather make sure it is locked), lock the bedroom door, and lock the bathroom
door. Hmm do I beat S. James for that one?????


7. Do you have a mirror in there?

Yes it is above the sink. It goes from the top of the backsplash, to the
ceiling. There is also a full length mirror on the walk in closet door.

Yes, but only started since I've been here since the shelf over the sink
is stupidly placed, so everytime one tries to splash water on ones face,
the water goes all over the floor. Because of this, I"ve been forced to
shave in the shower which has lead to a couple of times where I missed a
spot.

We have a curtain.

Doesn't really matter, though with a door there is less leakage.

Not really.

Can't.

Generally, yes.

Never did it :( But I have heard that before... Someone want to explain
why? I would think it would be good, since you get cleaned while you're
getting messy.

Nope. And I don't wash my hair every day. It just takes too long to

Don't think that this is relevant, since you guys won't know the

I agree with all the women who answered this survey before me.

Curtain

Curtain. Much more fun. Mine has all these windows drawn on it and in
the windowsills are cartoonbirds talking to eachother.

>6. Do you close the bathroom door when you're in the shower?

Nope, leave it wide open, since the ventilation in my building is very
bad. And the cats like to take a bath too. The biggest one insists
sometimes that I turn on the tap a little bit so he can drink the
water. And, sucker that I am, I do it.

Yep, I have a waterheater-thing in the kitchen, so I never run out of
hot water.

It has never worked for me, yet I keep on trying. It's like
McDonald's; you have this craving, you go for it, but you're never
really satisfied.

Silly S John, you probably didn't know this, but females shave too! I always

I should have phrased this "air dry"... I fling off the excess water in
the shower, then I rub myself with the towel (in the face, head, arms,
legs, torso, back order) then I don the towel and generally sit down at
my desk and dry the rest of the way natuatally-- I need to be totally
dry before getting dressed; I've never understoon people who lock
themselves in the bathroom and emerged fully dressed.

Does anyone? Actually, with the limited amount of head topping coif I

Irish Spring. Manly yes...

I do... I must.

A curtain which I replace about every 8 weeks though I wish I had a
door. I grew up with doors and I've never really did quite master
getting the curtain not to mysteriously gravitate into the shower to
hug me.

I leave the door open... even when I'm not here alone. I can't deal
with the accumulated humidity in the bathroom if I don't; and that
little fan accomplishes NOTHING other than noise... it's obviously NOT
pumping air into my upstairs neighbor's living room-- at least I don't
think.

>7. Do you have a mirror in there?

A Bed, Bath, and Beyond $20 fogless contraption of one that hangs from
an arm off the shoer head thing.

I am me and I do. He's got this blank stare-into-space look on his

he's in there.

I do... just not enough for those involved shaving projects though. :-(

On top of that if you have sex in the shower, what are you supposed to
do after you're done? Take a shower?

I'm afraid to move - what if I fall and I can't get up? I don't have one of

OK, let me clarify this. I KNOW there's things that the female
persuasion shaves-- and, as I understood it, it was something that
*typically* happens in the shower. The reason I posed the question is
because I shave my face in the shower and wondered if other guys do.
It's not like I asked if the guys changed their oil in there. :-)

I was also happy to hear that I'm not the ONLY one who remembers the
9th grade health class film strip that taught us guys to fondle
ourselves on a monthly basis. Oddly enough, our visual aids weren't
animated. It was a real man; this was my very first ever exposure to
gay porn ;-)

Okay I have to ask. What's TMI, and the peeing is usually done standing normally,
although I go closer to the drain so that I don't have to stand in the pee.

I guess I pee in the shower, because it's like those cheap B movies that USA
shows, where some kids think it's soooo funny to stick some guys hand in warm
water while he's asleep and then the guy pees and wakes up (does this really
work?), so I suppose that I am just in a hurry when I wake up, and I feel why
should I bother to waste water by using the toilet, flushing it, and then going
into the shower, and I suppose hearing the water, just makes that "I HAVE to go
NOW!!!!" feeling even stronger.

Why not get it all done at once----the shower, the largest personel bidet!

NO!! The *worst* thing about this current apartment.. I only have
enough hot water for about a 7 min. shower... which makes it difficult
to shave the legs while the water runs. I wind up having to fill the
tub a bit, sit to shave, then shower. *grrr*

My new place won't have such difficulties.

I'm amazed at the amount of people who've said they throw out and
replace their shower curtains. They're not that hard to clean. Take
them down, put them in the gentle cycle in the washing machine, add
some (about a cup) vinegar (yes, VINEGAR) and/or baking soda. Pull it
out when it's done, hang back up in the shower to drip dry. You can
also just take a spray bottle, fill (half and half) with water and
vinegar, spray the curtain well while still on the rod and then take a
shower and rinse the curtain. I prefer the former, since it tends to
get more grunge off.

Anyhow.

Also, attach magnets to the bottom of your shower curtain. It will
then adhere to the tub and won't stick to you while you're showering.

I'm way too domestic, aren't I?

What does "99-44/100% PURE® mean?

This famous slogan originated in the 1800's
when samples of Ivory were sent to college
chemistry professors and independent
laboratories for analysis. Comparison tests
were made with castile soaps—the standard
of excellence at that time. One chemist's
analysis was in table form with the ingredients
listed by percentage. Harley Procter totaled
the ingredients which did not fall into the
category of pure soap—they equaled
56/100%. He subtracted from 100, and
wrote the slogan "99-44/100% Pure®: It
Floats." This became a pledge of quality to
Ivory consumers. This phrase is so identified
with Ivory, it's registered as a trademark with
the United States Trademark office. "It
Floats" was added to Ivory's slogan in 1891.

For more Ivory fun questions (including "why does it float?), there's
a FAQ:

Did that answer pure what? Pure "Soap?" what *is* "Soap?" A combination of
elements? An element itself? SP Atomic number 99.44? Volotile in the
presence of rednecks and changes state in contact with H20 to become
frictionless? To answer these questions, I consulted the FAQ on Ivory's
website. A soap company with a web site.. hrm.

Imagine this exchange:
"Honey, lets get some soap."
"ok, I'll look it up what kind to buy on the web."

Did you feel that too? Yes. So did I. Nausea.

Is there a list of company's that should NOT be online??

So I checked the site. I notice they don't ever call it soap. It's "Bath
Bar" or "Body Wash." That's scary too, people.

#What are Ivory's ingredients?
#Ivory Soap is made of both vegetable oils and animal fats. Two different
#kinds of vegetable oils are used in Ivory - coconut oil and palm
#kernel oil. We add a preservative, less than ½ of 1% of magnesium
#sulfate and sodium silicate, to keep the bar as white as its name.

To which I say, who the hell was the first guy to rub vegitable oil and
animal fat on himself? And why? Was she worth it?


#Ivory contains no heavy perfumes, creams or dyes.
#A light fragrance is added to provide that Ivory clean smell.

So they add "light" perfumes.. or "fragrance." What is "fragrance" if it's
not a perfume?

In addition, I found this really really scary note on their "terms and
conditions" page. (yes, I have too much time too).

#All content in this website is intended only for residents of the
#United States and all references to soap, moisture care, dish liquid,
#detergent products or other products apply to US products only.

woah. So, if you're foreign, you need to read a foreign Faq?
"We use Spit in your soap, dirty french men!"

Is US soap better or worse then Foreign soap? These issues need to be
resolved!!! I will not stand by and let the worlds most powerful country be
the underdog in soap technology. As a member of the US State Department, I
will make it my duty to interogate and teach foreign service officers and
staff about the conditions of soap in foreign countries, and what we can do
to ensure our soap dominance in the next century.

The reason could be that the Ivory brand BathBars aren't sold outside

But what if we foreigners want to use our own soap? Can we bring our
own shower gel to the States in May? Or is it prohibited to bring in
soap? Just like we cannot bring food or drugs?

I shave my armpits over the zink, but my legs and other stuff standing

fallen down. FWIW, my BF doesn't shave in the shower.

And S John, it's OK now. I'm not upset with you anymore.

Shower curtain featuring Snoopy surfing. I gave it to my BF when we
first got together and I started sleeping over and had to shower at his
place, because his shower curtain was Really Yucky.

> 5a. Do you have a preference between the two?

I kind of prefer whatever gives me the most space. Some shower curtains
slime towards you when you shower, and stick on you, yuck. But mine has
some metal things in the hem that makes it hang down, and also, the
bar/rail/rod it hangs from is slightly outside the bathtub, so the
curtain sticks to the tub and leaves a lot of place for me.

And when it gets dirty I just throw it in the washing machine.

Yes, to make the warm air stay in there, or else I might freeze when I

But regarding soap: We made soap in Junior High, on a chemistry class.
And our teacher said this was what most people remembered from Junior
High chemistry. And I remember it.

French women are born with a beautycase in one hand and a bottle of

I'm near a French women. (not that I smell or anything, I'm just
bigger/larger and not born with that beautycase)

Well, no, I was just trying to be funny (not very sucessfully obviously)
by interpreting S John's "Rubber Ducky like me" as "Rubber Ducky looking
like me". And I would really be surprised if you had a Rubber Ducky
looking like S John. By the way, why do we capitalize Rubber Ducky? (Is

I was still drying after my shower... SURVEY TIME!!!

1. Do you "drip dry"?

Nope, I like to dry off as fast as possible for some reason.

2. Do you "lather, rinse, AND repeat"?

No, I don't repeat. Like other people said, it takes too long.


3. What brand of soap do you use?

I use Lever 2000, for all my 2000 body parts. But I was thinking about that
slogan, and are there really 2000 exterior body parts? That seems like a lot.

4. Guys: Do you shave IN the shower?

Nope

5. Do you have a Shower Curtain or a "door"?

Door :)

5a. Do you have a preference between the two?

I prefer the door, for no logical reason.


6. Do you close the bathroom door when you're in the shower?

Yes!

6a. Do you lock it?

No, cause my dad used to yell at me for doing that when I was a kid, saying if
I ever fell and hit my head, no one would be able to get in and help me. So I
haven't locked it since I was 13. (I'm 20 now)

6b. Do you live alone AND lock it?

I live with several people, don't lock it

6c. S. James only: Do you live alone, close the door, lock it, set the
intrusion alarm, and sanitize the whole stall before AND after?

LOL



7. Do you have a mirror in there?

Yup, and it's right across from the shower, kind of strange to see yourself in
it



8. Do you have a Rubber Ducky like me?

No :(



9. Do you have an ample supply of "hot water" for your showering preferences?

Yup, no problems with the water



10. Do you find that having sex in the shower is never as good an idea as it
actually seems?

If there were multiple shower heads and more room, it would be a lot better.

I got Al addicted to "clear"... it was actually a conspiracy on my part
just to be able to watch but I cleverly convinced him it was because
the non clear ones make the actually prevent the stall from being well
enough lit up (which actually is a secondary, though significant,
reason too).

I need a garden tub to have enough room THEN there's too much space to

In summer I splash on a nicely scented after-shower splash and drip dry. But
in cooler weather I put jojoba oil on my legs and arms while still wet and
let those drip dry, but I towel dry the torso.

I realized I spent way too much time doing mathematics when I (this was
in college) started calculating to find out if 5 soap bars weighing 85
grams a piece were more than 6 soap bars weighing 75 grams a piece. The
prize was the same.

My roommate tells me that the women in France are the best in the world.
So far I haven't been there, but after the Napoleanic thingie, I'm
returning via Belgium and France so I'll get to see. But as for you
being big, I believe it's because you are Germanic and I've discovered
that people here are huge. When I was at a Faschings parade, I couldn't
see much because everyone was so much bigger than me. I'm 5'10 which
inthe US is around average, but hereI'm like a dwarf. I would imagine
you are just like all the other central Europeanites - too damn tall!!

Aaaa haha Now I understand why some large percent of accidents around
the house occur in the shower... But, would sex in a bath also be a bad

That is weird... I get that too. What I've found works, sort of, is to
stand so that the water gets directed into the curtain, than it keeps it
away (until you move).

Through years of experience in the shower ;) I've learned that the
inside of the tub is made of metal and then covered with ceramic lining.
This helps keep the desired water temperature and makes those
oh-so-helpful shower magnets work. I absolutely hate it when the shower
curtain flies around. I use weights, such as empty/water-filled shampoo
bottles, to hold it down on the edges of the tub.

Anyway, I hope this is enough info to make up for my absence. Don't ask
me how I know all this. I have a vague memory of broken tub or seeing
the inside of a tub. It's either that or I have X-ray vision!

Really? I would have guessed that the Swedes were the tallest. Hmm..

AMEN. I love that stuff. I wish they had that for pets and everyday items

Self-gratifying. Yes, *that* kind of self-gratification. It can also mean

Hey, why stop there? I wish they had that stuff for floors, towels, sheets,
clothes, dishes, the bottom of the fridge and other places I'd mention if I
wasn't thinking of the teenagers

I thought that too, but it seems the Dutch are taller. (one quarter of
a centimeter or something like that)
But I'm not that tall. I think you'll be a bit taller than me. I'm
about 1.70.

This is what happens when your favorite show lets you down.

Anyway, here's an e-mail I recieved just now from Omar of the Other
Group:

"Where have you been? This group is a wasteland without you. A newsgroup
where I
am the most regular poster is not one that should be allowed on usenet.
Whether
you like the show or hate the show, please stick it out through the end.
I
think you'll be pleasantly surprised."

I think Omar's finally beginning to see the light!

Seats? Now I'm confused. I thought it was a bunch of enthusiasts
dressing up and wandering around a reconstructed town. What would one
need seats for?

Congrats? :)

I doubt I'll be taller than you. If Dutch are taller than Germans, and
most Germans are taller than me, I'd be willing to bet that you will be
taller than me. If not, you'll probably be better dressed ;)

But I'm a female and not a very tall one. But we'll see. I'll bring my

I clean my shower about once every 3 weeks. It's a major ordeal and I
typically end up nearly poisoning myself from the 409 and Bleach and
all fumes. I nearly bought some of that Clean Shower stuff but, what
with the supposed shocking news about Fabreez, I'm going to wait for
the general population to determine the whole "Clean Shower" concept
doesn't kill pets, cause cancer, or lead to unwanted pregnancy.

Speaking of cleaning in general, I changed my vacuum cleaner bag this
past weekend. Is it me or is this whole "vacuum cleaner bag"
labeling/sorting/classification system a convoluted conspiracy to
causing you to most assuredly buy the wrong kind at least twice before
getting it right? Also, why are they always in two packs? I've lived
here for three years and this would be the 2nd time I had to change it.
Like I'm supposed to know where the "left over" bag is in 16 months.

What shocking news? Did I miss a memo?

Damn, S. John... if it caused an unwanted pregnancy in you, you could probably make
some serious bux ;P

I am quite sure that the whole "Global Warming" problems are a direct result of

This is why I've never used the oven in any apartment I've lived in. As a
result, I've never had to clean one.

I'm trailer-trash domestic, compared to Martha Stewart. I highly

Actually, that stuff looks interesting. But I'm trying to use less
chemicals to clean, and more natural products. Yeah, I'm an
environmental freak, too.

Uhm, yup. At least, it's ceramic with a steel undercoat or whatever,
like Melroseman said. And magnets attach quite well.

As for you and your PLASTIC (that's kinda weird) tub - get heavy
washers and attach (sew, staple, glue, whatever?) them to the bottom
of the curtain to weigh it down so it doesn't move around and stick to
you.
