Do you ever take a warm bath, because you feel cold?

Hello PNW friend. I’m in Oregon and my electric bill is amazing from my two hour bubblebath marathons. I took one last night after raking leaves at 9pm. It was freezing.

Every five minutes I drain a few inches and then refill with the hottest water my hot water heater will give me. I just like to soak and listen to some Barry Manilow.

Not joking about the Barry Manilow. Got into him a few months ago after watching some Family Guy reruns where he serenades Quagmire. What started as a joke turned into me really liking the music. And I mostly listen to punk-rock and 2Pac.

Can @chyna or @lucillelucillelucille catch the next flight to Oregon and draw or paint JP languishing in his bathtub? Actually, maybe we need to enlist a cinematographer jelly to capture the Barry Manilow.

I’m a hot shower-taker, not one for the bath tub.

I like @johnpowell,’sidea though, continual reheating.

@raum :: A few years ago I rented a apartment a few blocks away from the University of Oregon. A two bedroom place that was 600 a month. A steal.. I rented it without seeing any pictures of it. I didn’t care since it was two bedrooms and the location was unbeatable. I nearly fainted when I first walked into it and saw that it had a bathtub. That was enough for me to ignore the black mold. I hadn’t lived in a place with a bathtub for years. I just wanted a long soak.

Joke was on me. The place only had a 20 gallon hot water heater. Since I am tiny the water was cold before it covered my fragile, naked body resting on cold porcelain.

So what I would do is fill the tub up and let it sit all day to bring it up to room temp. Then went I wanted a hot bath I would fill it with hot water. It would average out to a warm bath that covered my delicious body.

No way, getting wet in the cold months ends up making me more cold. I’d rather crawl under blankets.

I take a hot bath almost every night in the cold months before going to bed. It both relaxes and warms me up,

I take hot bubble baths when I’m cold, too.
It relaxes me and I play my playlist while laying in the tub.
I’d be willing to fly out to Oregon, but only to share some Taco Bell food with @johnpowell.

Nah hot shower is my thing. I’m too impatient to languish in a tub. Seems like a waste of water, too.

I love a long,hot bubble bath.

@johnpowell That’s a pretty clever solution to a crappy situation.

Oh…and to answer the question. I run really warm water over my hands and feet to warm up when I’m cold.

When it’s cold, I’ll take a quick hot shower to warm up. 3 to 5 minutes and I’m warm. Baths are more of a time commitment.

Hey Nightwolf! My Mom’s side of the family hails from the Pacific Northwest. Millions of us are up there.
Yes, I sometimes take a bath when I get cold.
