Showering in the morning for me is akin to donning armor against the slings and arrows outrageous daily life can hurl at me - and you can see through it! (The Templars should’ve tried it - they might’ve fared better against the French king 😏)

With that mindset and metaphorical armour, I think you might just thrive in 1492!

I have no idea what a subset thingie is. But I just click away happily. LoL

But I've got sad news for you to cogitate on. ( Not using your hands by the way )

I'm supposing that I've only got 12 years left as my Mother died aged 82. So that means I'll only see my daughter, son and grandson 12 more times. Sigh.

Grab life with both hands folks. It's been lovely knowing you Alex, even if you're a big galah ! XXX

I get the feeling you've got plenty of life ahead of you yet, Margaret! I'll definitely be grabbing mine with both hands (if a big galah has hands 😂) xxx

You know what sucks? I was going to respond with a really funny gif... but you can't do that in the comments.

Lameeee

But it was of Nicholas Cage bowing his hat off to you while smoking a cigar.

Fantastic post!

Anyone who dabbles in Nicholas Cage GIFs is my type of person.

Morning showerers: HOW FILTHY ARE YOUR SHEETS YOU HEATHENS?!? My partner is a morning showerer and he’s disgusting. Case closed.

If he holds his nose when diving into a pool, we could have a real problem on our hands, Maggie.

LMAO- I think the Big Bang Theory is funny (crying bc I can't make this up) Lemme just pick up Granny on my way to the dumpster, as we are both trash on legs.

The end of this letter...thank you.

You could be a nose holder and have morning showers, too, and you're still alright with me. We're all doing our best out here 🙌

Yay! I got question #2 right! I do prefer to shower at night. I don't get people who shower in the morning. Why do it, when you'll just get dirty all over again? And yes, I step into the pool instead of jumping (because I don't know how to dive), but I don't hold my nose at all.

And, I'll have plenty of chances to get myself wet--in the shower, at my hotel pool, and in the gorgeous beaches of Hawaii next month!!

Oahu! I'll be there for 6 days.

What do you think I should see there?

Do you like hiking? A walk up Diamond Head is a classic (views are incredible).

Pearl Harbour is an AMAZING museum and day out.

Hanauma Bay is a quiet, protected cove where you can snorkle and it's stunning.

And you can tour the location where they filmed Jurassic Park!!!

My husband reserves water for showering. So, test 1 is definitely a non-starter. I think you need a f/up piece where, for whatever reason, the initial test set you propose won’t work. This is very important work you are doing! I’d say more, but I have $100 burning a whole in my pocket. . .

And you're worth every cent of that $100 bill and a whole lote more!

I don't make the rules of the quiz unfortunately. Hold on... I do, I do make the rules.

I have tried morning showers and eventually do them after I had e.g. night sweats.

But I never ever go to bed without showering. No matter how late. Even if I took a shower earlier in the day/afternoon for e.g. a date night, I feel I have at least to shower my feet 🤣 it’s weird, but otherwise I eventually have to get up again to do it.
