OHHHHHHH toomuchglass you're killing me LOL........ Truth is I have only a shower. And for the reasons that you have given I don't think I want a bathtub. Tooooo much work just to take a relaxing bath. Not for me

ROFLMAO!!!!
Oh my gosh! I have tears running down my face and my tummy hurts from laughing!
Oh no! I have to go peeeeeeeeee.......(sound of feet running to bathroom)

You are too funny...Our tub is one of those old step up oval shape that come in trailers in the 80's. You can't lay in it either unless you put your feet on the wall in front of you....And believe me that's not a pretty site...Here I always wanted a claw foot...

That is why I have a shower stall that takes up half of my bathroom....and no tub. I outgrew the whole bath idea a long time ago....I prefer the shower anyday...

If I could ever get down in a tub with this bad leg, they'd have to bury me in it...bubbles and all...because I'd NEVER be able to get back out!!

My last adventure in a tub (I like a shower!) was when some dr. said all I needed to do was go home & fill the bathtub up with very warm water & the migraines would just disappear!! I filled it & got in up to my neck (I'm little) well, my face started to sweat & I thought I was going to pass out but I stuck it out for the time he said. I got out & was weak & zoozy but my headache was still throbbing. So much for crazy cures!!!Jan

Been there...done that..and IF I would have gotten a T-shirt, it woulda been the wrong size!You forgot the part about when you finally turn over in the tub enough to get on your knees...the bathtub faucet gooses ya, making you fall back into the tub..and wishing the nice calming candle would just catch the pretty shower/bathtub curtain on fire....causing major damage and no harm to you....and remodel the bathroom and put in a shower with the insurance check!..LOL..

Your a HOOT! But I have to agree, I don't take baths either and yes, I resemble the remark "beached whale"! I have a huge garden tub and have never put water in it. I know I couldn't get in or out so just let the cats play in it for fun.

I am fortunate to have a bathtub big enough for two and room for several candles but I must say it lacks the character of the claw foot.
I can remember redoing our first home and having two claw foots removed.A farmer friend took them to his pastures to use as water troughs for cows. I was just a dumb kid back then.
I bought my dad a help mate bar to his tub from Qvc or HSN it has a BIG plastic screw to adjust to the tub and he can hold on getting in and out of his shower chair.
You can always just use the bubble bath as shower gel or put it in your hand soap dispenser.

Ohhhhh, that is sooooo funny! Been there and done that, had to get out of the tub doggie style last time I got in it. A fly on the wall would have been laughing its tiny little wings off.

OK, if I get in a tub now, I need a queen size tub ... maybe one designed for 2 or more *blush*. The old woman made me unable to get out of the regular tub. She was probably on the wall with the fly that little devil ... ~tenderlee

LOL!!!!!!!!!

I'm Laughing sooo hard... dh is just looking at me.
I love a bath all we have are the cheapie fiberglass tub/shower inserts. They are made for short people and I hate slidding glass doors!!! And men don't get it... Dh will call my name from the living room every five min till I just give up on the whole relax thing!!!! Ohh yeah and the hotwater tank is way to small to have a 'hot' bath!!

OMGosh....ROFLMAO! I loved your description! It is SOOO accurate! We had an old claw foot tub in this house, but after about 15 years, we had to get it out! Mainly because of the same issues you had....aaahhhh....brings back many memories....and makes me sad that I can no longer twist myself into the shape of a pretzel!!! Thanks for the laugh!! Hope you get to use your lovely bath products another time! ;-)

I've got tears rolling down my face and the dogs are looking at me like I'm nuts for all the giggling.
Oh....wine, candles, bubbles....those were the days. sigh.

hugs, Karen

I'm at work & my co-workers are throwing darts of evil looks my way as I rip & roar with laughter. You paint a very realistic picture. Thought I was seeing myself in the bathroom mirror!
I love a hot, steamy, bubble bath, with spicey candles, while DH brings me a pot of tea & leaves me be. Then I have to holler at 'im, "Gary Lee, git me outta this tub"! lol!

Oh --- You guys are even funnier than me !!! I feel so much better now ..... knowing I'm not the only one that does the "BATHTUB BOOGIE" ....
ROFL !!!

The last time I took a bath, I think I filled the tub with about 6 inches of water. BIG mistake! When this whale-size fanny sat down, it caused a tidal wave of the Perfect Storm proportions! Our fiberglass tub was so uncomfortable, I think I got more kinks in my neck from the bath. When it was time to get out, I had the presence of mind to let out the water ... what little water was left in the tub! I don't remember how I got out. I tend to block out traumatic experiences.

I don't think I could even get into a claw foot tub now! I have trouble lifting my Bozo The Clown-size feet into a small tub.

My favorite thing is to sit on my shower bench, put my shower head with the long hose on fire hose setting and just massage my shoulders, arms, legs and feet with it. I have been known to fall asleep in the shower as a result of it. But then ... I fall asleep at my computer at work so that doesn't mean much!

Thanks for the hilarious story, toomuch. Luckily Bob is asleep and not giving me strange looks for laughing out loud.
