when your height is all in your legs.

13. Yup! But showers can have dangerously slippery walls,
so there's that to consider, too...

3. Bathtub, but only when my wife is with me.
That doesn't happen much anymore though, with the kids around.

Sigh...

I love the kids, but those were magical years, the bathing years...

21. Well, we're in a new business, and we're optimistic things will go well
but right now we're conserving the cash.

In our case, if we got the hot tub, the kids would plop right in next to us.

But when the cash comes back into our lives, and I think we're close, I'm getting someone to watch the kids, and I'm taking my babe to New York City, dinner and a show, and a long soak in a nice bath in a great hotel.

She's a tremendous person, my wife, and, after twenty-one years of hard work in our marriage, damn if I'm not going to treat her right whenever I can. There is no better place to tell her how much I love her, than soaking comfortably in the bath.

11. Yeah
I love my kids dearly, but they have definitely put a cramp in our <cough, cough> bathing habits. ;)

10. We had tubs in my dorm in college. I know, because I had to let the
police in to remove a naked boy wrapped in a shower curtain, sleeping in the tub in our bathroom, once.

15. I have no idea. I lived on the badass (girl's smoking permitted) floor.
We had a rape, a break-in, and drunk males in the bathroom, on our floor. Ahhh, the freshman college experience!

18. Wow...
the worst we've had was a fire extinguisher set off in the elevator (I almost got nailed for that one), a mattress sent god knows where in the same elevator and a human-sized hole put in the wall. This was all in one night, mind you, but still...

22. We had them in my dorm too
In the one that I lived in my last two years anyway.
I sometimes took a bath after track practice. Sometimes, I wonder if that was actually such a good idea. You never know what kind of diseases people might have and soaking in a tub for a while if the germs aren't all killed might not really be a good idea. As far as I know though, I didn't get anything from it though.

14. A shower's better for puttin' the scrub to it -
in a bathtub you just float around in soap scum and your own dirt (and others', if the tub ain't real clean before ya jump in).

For, ahem, other purposes, definitely bathtub. Just make sure to take a shower after you're done! :D

32. A bath gets to all those.....
crooks and cranies......with a shower you may miss something. ;)

A bath can be an experience.....a nice glass of wine, scented candles, and some nice aromatherapy oil in a hot steamy tub. :)

A shower....eh....

23. I prefer to shower in the morning
It is part of my morning routine. I am a bit compulsive about it, panicking if I cannot take one before leaving the house. Sometimes, it is nice to soak in a bathtub in the evening. The one we have now is part of the shower and fairly small.

24. Depends on why I'm there...
If I want to get clean, then the shower. If I just want to relax and hide and soak for a while...a nice, hot, bubble-bath does the trick.

33. Shower!
The only reason we put a tub in our house is because the city said we had to!

I've used it once.....just to make sure the whirlpool feature works....

And does it....It nearly knocked me over.....

34. Depends...
Most of the time I shower. Sometimes a bath with someone can be great. Then again, so can a shower. :evilgrin:
