In Japan they take a shower then get into the tub and soak—I was a guest in a Japanese home so I am not talking about public baths. They also do not turn up the water heater till they are ready to use hot water; i. e., wash dishes. Pretty efficient.
I’m too tall for baths. And even if the bathtub is long enough, I just feel awkward hanging out in the bath. I’d rather lay around on the sofa or my bed.
In our area, when kerosene (Coal oil) was used for lighting, etc many of the kerosene cans had potatoes plugging the spouts. Guess the metal caps got lost?
I have lived in a variety of apartments here in Canada, and have passed through a number of hotel rooms and residences overseas (esp. in the Middle East). I go everywhere with two super-balls. They are perfect stand-ins for missing plugs (even better than the half- tennis balls some of archaeologist friends carry (no fuzz for water to leak through)

I have to say, that’s rather inventive!

Exactly why I refused to shower when I was raising kids. A bath is a totally justifiable luxury.

I use a yogurt lid since my drain has a screen. Works great.

More than one way to plug a drain if you really need a bath. lol

well, you take the shower head and clean the water off you in the end of the bath, of course.

Is it just me, or is she still wearing her shirt in the tub…..? :-)

I think that is just a ring of bluer water around her neck. Colorist was a bit off or confused about what was intended.

Most all bathrooms have locks on the door. But who’s going to help if you fall in the tub?

Lynn said she did this in real life in Mexico. Only it wasn’t a bathtub, it was a kitchen sink.

A potato works great as a plug our dog used to eat the tub plugs so we did this more than once.

I remember what a luxury it was for me to take a bath when my kids were small. I think one time I plugged the drain with a wash cloth.

I’ll remember that trick next time my plug gives out.
Is the potato done yet?
