prepheckt 0 #1 October 15, 2003 I know this is kind of a weird question, but I'm curious. I've noticed that I take alot of showers per day, but it depends on what I do that day. I usually shower in the morning, because it helps wake me up, then after PE class, then my workout in the afternoon, then I go swimming later that evening, and one after that. Does anyone esle find this weird?"Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #2 October 15, 2003 Now days always 1 sometimes 2. When I was in the Corps of Cadets I found myself taking 3-5 showers a day. Especially when I was a fish, simple due to the amount of PT being done, etc. Morning PT, shower, then class. If it was really hot, I'd have to shower after that (those uniforms we had are NOT good for hot weather). Then PE class (if I had one that sememster, take one then. Then class again, then afternoon PT, take one then. Then Evening formation and study time. I'd usually take one then too. So to answer your question, no, I don't think its weird, it all depends on your activity level throughout the day. Now, those guys that take showers every other day or so...hey, guess what, we can smell you on the jump plane!--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

pa2themd 0 #3 October 15, 2003 I think it depends on how much physical activity you do, and how hot and sweaty u get!! From what u said it seems normal to have as many as u do!! How many do u have on a day you aren't swimming and doing PE?? "Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else!"

ChasingBlueSky 0 #5 October 15, 2003 There are certainly some people at the DZ or a Boogie that could use more showers or better soap.

Does anyone esle find this weird? You seem to have forgotten that this is an international forum which includes people from France, Spain, Italy and Greece. For them you need to put in the option once every 2 or 3 days. For northern Europe you needed to ask questions like, How many days in a row will you wear the same collared shirt? or Have ever considered using deoderant?If I could make a wish, I think I'd pass. Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep, no light, no sound. Nothing to eat, no books to read. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #8 October 15, 2003 I shower every morning. If I get a good amount of exercise or mow the lawn, I'll shower again. About 4-5 times a week I take an evening bath with my daughter. Got to scrub her, because she likes to play with her hair after eating. And some meals instantly require bathing her. See attached.
