That or you can stand up, turn around and turn the nossle down and wait 3-4 minutes for it to get warm then turn it off, turn the head back up, and sit down. It was ok in summer though. Carol -- |

My MIL had a shower bench that folded up and down. It was a horrible thing. Had a tendency to tilt you slightly forward when sitting on it and it had a very slippery surface so if you dared to use it, you could fall off. The place where my dad lived had these things that were used in the shower. They were essentially like toilet seats with legs and wheels. Some hospitals use them too. |

When you sat on the toilet, you had the sink immediately to your right and the tub to your left. If you were sitting on the toilet and someone tried to open the door, you'd get whacked in the knees. They finally had to get a pocket door installed. I had one bathroom that was smaller than that still. While sitting on the toilet, your knees were under the sink. I did actually have one person get stuck on the toilet. You needed to be fairly agile to get on and off of it because you had to angle your body just right. No way would a bidet fit in those bathrooms. |

I see it but it's all rather meaningless to me. Never heard of such a thing in a house here. Heat in most houses is either gas or electric. And I don't really know what a boiler is. |

Neither term is really accurate. A 'boiler' heats water, which is then circulated through radiators to heat the house. A combi boiler (which can run on gas, electricity, or oil)has an additional circuit, which heats water for your taps/faucets. It doesn't store hot water in a big tank - it heats on demand. When you open a tap, the flow of water triggers the combi to heat the water. When you turn off the tap, it stops heating it. They may not be common in the US yet, but their use is increasing. We switched to a combi in our house in Scotland, and have considerably reduced our fuel costs. We've also gained storage space, as we no longer need the big hot water tank/cylinder. My combi runs on oil, as we have no gas main available. |

You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the total blue. After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3 years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY MOVING IN WITH YOU? That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2 years. Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away. There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo. And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're manic depressive mixed with habitual liar. Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles. -sw --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Two years ago we took out the tub and now have a 60" wide shower with plenty of room to move around and only a 1 1/2" lip to step over. In addition to the rainhead there is a handheld shower. Two grab bars, of course. The downstairs bath was enlarged from the 34" fiberglass stall to 48", all ceramic tile. Well worth the time and money to have nice bathrooms. |

Some >hospitals use them too. The really nice shower benches are built in to the wall, and are tiled. They don't move at all and are quite safe. There are some examples he http://www.houzz.com/built-in-shower-seat I won't go so far as to say I like the tile designs on those, but the idea is really nice. Our current bathroom has a shower that is separate from the tub, but it doesn't have a bench. I really wish I'd had one added when we put in the shower. Doris |
