I´m waiting for some potatoes to boil.

I´m going to make a nice dish of mashed potatoees with a bit of that stew I have on the side. While the potatoes are being done, I ate a couple of mini buns covered with mayo, tomato and a piece of hot green pepper on top. I´m in bed meanwhile watching one of those shows where they remodel houses. The houses cost at least a million dollars. With that amount, I suppose I´d be homeless. And I would have to remodel the remodeled houses. All have beautiful tubs and I can´t get into one. Or, rather, I can´t get out of one now. The last time I planned to have a bubble bath was over 20 years ago. I was alone, had bubbles and magazines that I did not care if they got soaked. I was happy and naked when my eldest daughter came in without calling along with her 2 boys and her baby. End of bliss. Later on, I discovered that I could not get up ffrom the floor. But, friends, I still have some things that make me happy. Now I´´ be happy with my mashed potates with LOTS of butter. Fortunatly, I don´t have high cholesterol levels. See you. I´m about to go for my lunch.

I don't take a bath very often. I much prefer a long, hot shower. I HAVE taken a bath two or three times since we moved into this house, though, since it has a tub. Our last house only had a walk-in shower. Pretty takes a bath every once in a while. I hope you enjoyed the mashed potatoes and stew.

I always had a tub until 3 years ago. But I got into the tub and took a shower standing on it. My last bath in a tub was the one I just told you about.

I love potatoes. If I fell down, the fire department would have to come to get me up. I walk very carefully with my cane. Enjoy your day.

I worry about me because I live alone. I´m thinking about that too. Because someone has to call the fire deprtment and someone has to open the door.

@marguicha Here you can have a health alert necklace to call for help; and they can put a lockbox on the door for your key.

I imagine you use real butter, and not that margarine nonsense.

Of course. Even when decades ago doctors said that we´d die early if we used better I decided that that would be my fate then. Margarine was something I tasted once and then rejected forever. I didn´t even use it for cakes. I simply never bought it.

@marguicha And now we find out it isn’t healthy either.

@AmbiePam I know. I was wise not to listen to doctors when they said eggs were unhealthy. I have always loved eggs. So I accepted that I would die sooner. But happier.

I love them. They turn houses into beauts in no time. I always wonder what they do with the people´s junk.

I love a good bath. But over time it can get more dangerous

I never was very haappy with them. Only the last tub we bought was long enough for me to have my knees covered with warm water. I do love to go to the jacuzzi in Aruba though. THAT is something else. It´s outside, you go to a giant jacuzzi for around 6 or 8 people (clad in a bathing suit of course) and can take along your piña colada

@wolfgirl569 One of the things I love about Aruba is the jacuzzi.

I don’t feel clean in a bathtub. I always shower.

When I used tubs (always in the cleanest tub) I had to take a shower after it. I really never felt clean getting into a tub.

I always love having some potatoes in the house. I must say that potatoes can bring a good appetite if they are cooked on certain menus in the kitchen department.

I must have potatoes and onions all the time. I would not be able to cook without them.

I turned on the heater and decided that I would not be cold no matter what. So the heater was on all day.

I'm really battling with baths now but sometimes I'll have one if we're staying in a hotel.

Potatoes are always present in our daily menu. We have a mini eatery and we sell to go foods. We use potatoes for our curry, stews, broth and other dishes.

I love potatoes in many dishes and many ways. I often add potatoes either in the stew pot or I boil potatoes elsewhere to put at the side.
