I always loved a good hot bath. I guess I may be an outlier being a male who loves a bath.

Yes, I've used those Epsom salts, too. They can be very effective.

Thank you! I treasure the old photos I have. I worry that kids today will miss out on seeing old photos as they are often lost when replacing a phone or when storage is full. Having a physical photo in your hand is so much better. I bet your grandmother's photos are priceless to you.

What about eye liner (Vance), orange makeup (felon), botox (Gaetz), lip fillers (every female conservative)? Is he good with those?

As someone who used to work with fiber optics to connect cell towers to the internet and phone circuits, I can confirm that the 5G towers are either set to "give everyone autism" or "make everyone gay."

Wait, I thought the bottom photo was my brain on drugs! Was I lied to in the 80s?

No friends. Doesn't read. He doesn't even have a dog. He only wins when it's rigged in his favor. He is the biggest loser of all of the losers.

This is an insult to fucking morons, the felon is so much worse.

I am in disbelief how many people consider this felon a winner to be admired when everything he touches turns to shit.

Why does his fucking head look square on top like Herman Munster in every damned photo? My apologies to Herman Munster for the unfair comparison.

Thanks, and you are correct. I worked a lot of heavily physical jobs in my life, and when you are sore, especially your muscles, a hot bath is amazing.

I have received some comments in my life that were negative about men taking a bath vs a shower.

I know it's not considered very masculine, but occasionally, a hot bath is the answer.

The bath is helping to relieve the headache that followed the dental work I had this morning.

Yeah, they wont take those cars out in the rain. Probably half of them dont have windshield wipes because they never go in the rain (which is true). But a paid day off is welcome.

If I shared this before, my apologies (I'm old). While in Ohio at university in the late 80s, I worked at the college radio station. One day I found myself in my apartment with this dude, we were hanging out and talking. He tells me he is Jimmy Pursey from Sham 69 (he indeed was, too).

They canceled having to work on Monday due to high winds and rain. We were to change all of the 60+ speed limit signs on Coastal Highway back to their original speeds (there's a classic hot rod show in town and they dropped the speed limit to 30 mph on the highway). Now it's a paid holiday off!

Yes, and no buildings to speak of above 15th Street and the Delaware line.

These are my maternal grandparents and one of my aunts and uncles in Ocean City, MD in 1953. OC is only about 2 hours from Baltimore, where my family is from. My parents came here and brought me. My kids come here, as do my grandkids. 5 generations of my family have been coming to this town.

Our situation here in the US currently is a nightmare enough.

Most of the prominent right-wing female influencers have terrible botox or plastic surgery jobs and look absolutely hideous.

We have a local rum here that I enjoy. It's so good, even straight. It's fantastic. Unfortunately, I enjoyed it too much, and my liver suffered. But it's healing nicely and is only mildly affected. I hope one day soon to enjoy some good beer or rum again.

I never learned to play anything other than the drums. I wish I could play guitar or piano. I've often fancied learning an instrument if I ever get to retire.
