The after surgery part is not fun. I have very bad memories of having my
first shower in about 10 days after having been through heart surgery.
I felt so grungy when I got home from the hospital that I could not wait
to have a shower, I could not stand in the shower so I had to sit on the
edge to get soaped up by my lovely assistant. It was a horrible experience.

I won't say you outright lie but you certainly have a way with skewing
the truth by the sin of omission... you leave out too many details to
be totally believable... even your very few photos are purposely
chosen to skew the truth rather then to indicate the actual truth. But
then nobody on usenet tells the whole truth and nothing but the truth,
people don't even in court when they swear on a bible. Most folks
don't even remember their own truth... I can't swear to everything I
ate for dinner last week, I don't think I can remember half. I do
remember cooking a 16 qt. pot of lima bean soup, we each choked down a
bowlful but didn't like it so I dumped it all in a hedgerow for the
critters, ham bone and all. From now on I'll stick with Goya dried
beans, well worth the few pennies more. I like lima beans but 99% of
the time they're canned, last time I cooked dried limas has to be more
than ten years ago.

I lied about the $150 bottle of Dom Perignon... the price was actually
$149+ tx. Just because I buy bottom shelf vodka doesn't mean I don't
buy some top shelf booze. I used to be a scotch drinker so I keep
Johnnie Walker black 12 year old for a change of pace... I changed
from my usual J & B because my late FIL was a Johnnie Walker man. My
wife drinks Belizean rum with Coke and a big squeeze of lime.
http://www.onebarrelrum.com/belizean-rum
With many purchases I can be extremely frugal but with some I have no
qualms about buying high end, just depends on its emotional meaning,
nothing about actual comparison. Most high end purchases are all
about emotion... no way are a dozen fresh long stem red roses worth
the price but that's what I've been buying my wife every year for
twenty five years on Saint Valentine's Day. A dozen daisys cost a lot
less but dosn't convey the same emptional effect. I know she doesn't
like going out to eat and she doesn't eat chocolate but she really
enjoys those roses. It can cost just as much for us to dine at a good
restaurant, but neither of us enjoys that, she much prefers my cooking
a simple meal and dining at home with just the two of us and no
company. We both believe that couples who are always looking to go
out with other people really don't enjoy each others company and it's
highly likely they don't really love each other.
We've discussed it and it would be easy for us to live alone on a
deserted tropical island so long as we received air drops of
essentials, we wouldn't want visitors.

We shower together for fun, but only occasionally or we use too much
hot water.

Plausible explanation. At times I buy some very expensive goodies too.
I don't drink coffee, but I've often paid up to $100 a pound to give my
wife the best. Last order was House Blend for $14 and Jamaica Blue
Mountain for $60.

I agree on that one Jill...also some like the water tepid and some like it
hot. If they want to get wet together, a hot-tub might be a better choice.

And that is another story...why on earth would I want to be in a hot-tub
and soak in someone's body grime?...yuck!!!! No thanks.

Back in the old days, the Japanese liked to take very hot baths in large wooden tubs. Mostly, they used it to be alone with their thoughts and to contemplate their lives and make plans. The Japanese were the creators of the hot tub. It was important that the person using the furo be clean and wash themselves before they entered the tub. Americans should always follow this practice.

The Japanese created the hot tub. I wonder who you explain the fact that
the Greeks, Egyptians and Romans had hot baths thousands of years ago,
way before the west knew that Japan existed.

Didn't you know? If it wasn't for dsi1's Asians, we'd still be living

I love to soak in a nice hot Jacuzzi. I used to have an athletic
membership at my old university and for a while my office was about a
mile down the road. I used to swim lengths in the pool either on my way
to or from work, depending on my shifts. On cold winter afternoon and
night shifts I used to like to go and swim my lengths and then soak in
the Jauzzi for a while. It charged up my batteries and kept me warm and
comfortable for most of the shift.

I have no doubt that other cultures would sit in hot water to relax. If you say that these folks invented hot tubs thousands of years ago, well alright.

I'm happy for you. I've pretty much always had access to a swimming
pool even though I never lived in a house that had one in the back yard.

Having access to a hot tub or a gym membership has never been a priority
for me. Then again, I've never been interested in kayaking. I'm the
great indoors-woman. In nice weather, I'll sit outside with a book. If
it's slightly chilly I might sit out with a log in the fire pit.

It never occurs to you that there are times we don't want guests, New
Years Eve is one of those times... New Years Eve is one of those times
we appreciate fine wine, interesting snackipoos, and the best sex two
old folks can acomplish to ring in the new year with, and alone we do
very well, thank yoose very much... this new years eve enjoying
relaxed low impact oral sex with each other was as good as it gets...
did any of yoose do better, and yes after 25 years we still lap up
every precious drop and swallow... she produces more juice than me at
this age and I savor every drop. We both realize life is very short.

Menage a Trois is a very nice "drink now" (aka: everyday) type red
wine. I am a sauvignon blanc drinker, but prefer Josh and E when I
drink red. Other people prefer other wine labels. We don't all have
the same palate or preferences. If we did, there wouldn't be so many
scotches in existence. The fact is, I don't think California wines
taste very good when they're served outside California wine country or
a large metropolitan area with enough wine drinkers that the middle
men and retailers handle them properly. Most of the country is rural
or small town, so I switch to cocktails when I travel outside my area
because ordering a glass of wine is just a waste of money.

What do they do to the wine? Boil it, freeze it, serve it after it's
been open for 2 weeks? All of the above?

They had public "baths" which were as large as Olympic swimming pools,
not tubs.

Chardonnay's my favourite white. I know that's not very trendy. Trendy
people follow the ABC principle: Anything But Chardonnay.

Chlorination and filtration. Why would you want to go swimming
and soak in fish poop?

Chardonnay seemed to have been trendy a few decades ago but not so much
any more. My wife is in the ABC crowd, but I like it.

My sister in law has been going to the local Y to use the pool for her
exercises. Yesterday they had to vacate the pool because there was a
turd in it. It's a safe bet they won't empty the pool. They scooped it
out and I imagine they will simple add a little extra chlorine and
filter it out. Let's face it, despite pre swim showers, a lot of people
still have some fecal matter hovering around their butts so there is
always going to be some contamination. One turd scooped out probably
isn't much worse than 100 butts in there.

The Y I used to belong to had a Jacuzzi and I love to soak in that for a
while. This new one has a "swirl pool" a shallow pool with a wading
area and bench seats around the outside and it is heated to about 95. I
won't go in it because there are often a lot of young kids in it and I
can't imagine a filter powerful enough to remove that much urine.

I'll bet you'd enjoy that log even better if you started
a fire with it.

Good stories, Dave. I'll stick with the salty ocean and all the
fish poo.

What attitude? I did not like the taste of the wine, wouldn't buy that
perticular wine even if I did want a merlot (which, on occasion, I do).
I wasn't rude to the host who served it.

Because the river flows would be my best guess, same reason you flush a
toilet.

I sort of do. I remember where and in answer to what question,
but the man's name eludes me at the moment. That's what
google is for, of course.

With Sauvignon, I risk that it will taste sour, ****y, grassy. Unless
it's Marlborough Sauvignon from NZ.
