You will often notice I will post something that has no value whatsoever to life. This post is just that type. In fact you may actually become more stupid for reading it. Be aware...
I was taking a bath for some reason the other day which I rarely do. I began to contemplate why we do such especially in colder months. As you sit there the part of your body in the nice warm (in Buffy's case scalding hot) water is great. But there is the part that is above the water that becomes cold. Jealously soon enters the body because you are only half warm. So then it sends chills down your body to ask you to submerge yourself completely. Which many will do but the minute you return to your normal position you have made it worse. The cooler air hits the skin and begins to make you miserable. The only way then to fix the problem is to submerge again. So what happens is that you look like a frog with it's head sticking out of the water. Is that really fun?? No I say!! No it is not.
Showers are great but if you are wanting to relax you can't really because you are standing there exerting more energy than resting. So what is the answer really??
Shower Baths!! That is the answer to all the bathing problems. Simply fill the tub up partially with water before entry. Then kick on the shower. You have the water warming the body the water showering down on you that is hot. No cold air to come in because the shower curtain creates a vacuum seal. As a matter of a fact soon it will be similar to a sauna. The best times for these are when you have a cold. You are all stopped up and the steam comes from everywhere. Clearing those sinuses and everything.
Spa's everywhere will soon be using my ideas. I am sure of it...

My water bill reflects these habits as well ;-)
You can if needed monitor your water usage by the amount that is in the tub. Once the amount reaches that of a normal bath you can halt the supply and get out. I don't always do that...sometimes I open the drain and let some out and continue. LOL!
I too love scalding hot water. Trevor says that it must run in the family.
A bath isn't a real bath without scalding water. It burns the germs off (ha/ha). I guess it is a Waldrop thing.

When your skin is red once exiting the tub it means you don't need to do that. Your body is saying "Hey that is too hot". Much like too much sun makes one red.
I agree 100%. My wife wonders why her skin is dry, umm maybe the scalding water burnt the top layers of skin.
