Quoting: Golfcart 84759028 I at least get in the hot tub twice a day and shower periodically. Clean as a whistle!!!!! FWIW: daily bathing is a fairly modern concept. As recently as 100 years ago, a weekly bath was considered more than adequate with just washcloth touchups filling in the rest of the week. But, it gets better... since those baths were usually taken on Saturday night so everybody would be fresh as a daisy for church the next morning. So, now you know where the saying "Cleanliness is next to Godliness" came from! In the 1880's old west few buildings had indoor plumbing which made basin-bathing with a washcloth the norm. If you wanted a bath or that new-fangled invention called a "Shower" you'd have to go to a special place and pay for it and hot water/soap/towels were extra. And further back in history, regular baths become even more rare and often considered a medical treatment [especially for skin disorders]. During the Renaissance a palace may have had elaborate bathing areas, but they weren't used every day... mostly -like Midler- it would be a monthly ritual. But the Romans REALLY did it up right with their massive bathhouses where stripping down and scrubbing up was a social event where you'd spend four hours in what amounted to a huge public spa. And beside the basic facilities there were gymnasiums, Libraries and theaters. Around the outside of the main bathhouse you'd find little shopping malls where you could grab a snack from the world's first fast-food joints, pick up some clothing/furniture and a live Chicken or two to offer up as a sacrifice in a temple on the way home. But the BATHS were the main attraction, since there were separate rooms each featuring different bathing pools: a cold plunge, a warm room, a hot room and even a steam room. They'd also have other rooms where slaves would give you a good rubdown or even pluck your body hair out. But Soap was NOT used. Instead, the Romans used a tool called a "Strigil" that had a curved sharpened blade that matched body contours and came in LOTS of sizes from tiny to 10"-12" long. Slaves would rub your body down with a scented oil and then the Strigils would be used to scrape off the oil and dirt. A final wipedown with a cloth and you were done. I have a couple of Strigils in my Roman relics collection; made of iron they are still sharp although the original wooden handles are long gone. But yeah: if I wanted to I could still grab some Olive oil and take a bath the ancient Roman way because they were some of the cleanest people in ancient history. So: don't be too quick to assume that your daily bath routine is the norm, even though common sense suggests it should be. Personally, I think God's greatest gift to mankind was a nice 6-setting shower wand with enough water pressure to strip paint! Last Edited by GSB/LTD on 12/01/2022 08:09 PM |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 51159401 United States 12/01/2022 07:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It isn't surprising to me when celebrities go crazy on social media when even an ounce of free speech exists. Think of how hard it can be for an average person to let insults or criticism roll off their backs. It takes a well formed sense of self to be at peace in the midst of that dynamic. Now think of a celebrity instead, someone who almost never hears anything but "you are so amazing and smart" or "wow, you are so fierce and brave" from the people around them their entire lives. They have lived for years inside an ass-kissing contest where they were the reward. In other words, nothing even close to reality. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 84800368 Now take that same person and put them into an environment where normal people often act more blunt and critical then they even would if they were part of a face to face interaction with another person. Suddenly that celebrity is going to be thinking their entire sense of ego and self is falling apart and they will have zero tools in place to prevent that reality from tearing them apart emotionally. Normal people have no problems calling out celebrity BS and they are also not paid to pretend the BS doesn't exist like most of the media does. The reality that most celebrities can't handle, is that they were never nearly as important or special as they thought they were. Noice post |
