Take THAT, polite society!

I didn’t wear deodorant or a bra all weekend. I only showered Sunday afternoon 'cause I was starting to stink pretty bad. I didn’t step foot outside the house or answer the phone, either.

Man, that felt good. :slight_smile:

So what did you do?

FWIW, I developed a theory with a friend that letting yourself really stink it up for a little while makes getting clean that much more enjoyable. In a you can’t know happiness until you’ve been really sad kinda way.

That’s nothing. I caled in sick Friday cause of a bad cold, didn’t shower then stayed inside, did the same on Saturday (well, the not shower and stay in side bit…no need to call in sick) and didn’t shower or go outside on Sunday till around 3 PM, and then only becaus I really needed to do laundry.

And if I wore a bra, I wouldn’t have, since most of the weekend I was in pajama bottoms and a ratty t-shirt. :stuck_out_tongue:

Y’all use deoderant to support your breasts? Great, yet another mystery about the female body.

I have a semi-random no-shower Saturday - or I used to pre-kids. Now I need to in order to get moving. My daughter takes after me. Her favorite day is “pj and movie day” where you stay in your jammies all day and watch TV.

I have a theory that - unless you actually did something to get dirty or are the type to just get oily - letting your hair and skin sit for a day is actually good for it.

When I’m alone, I pick my nose and wipe my fingers on a tissue instead of using it the proper way.

I tend to only shower every 2-4 days if I don’t sweat or get dirty or anything like that. My skin and hair thank me for it.

… Or at least, I do that NOW. It’s been unusally cold these few weeks but once summer gets going in earnest I develop a tendency to shower way too much.

Cleaned the fridge, did the dishes, watched too much TV, updated my resume, applied for three jobs, sewed two bookblocks and trimmed four more, played with my roommates’ cats, and baked bread. Quite a bit, really, just all at home.

My mom taught me to eat with my hands, as she did with a child, and man is it fun.

She ate a child with her hands?!? How barbaric!

:smiley:

In polite society one always uses the child tongs, placed to the inside of the salad fork.

Isn’t that like hitting yourself on the head because it feels good when you stop? :slight_smile:

…The ones they used to use to tug newborns out of moms before that suction cup thing.

Now I know what I’m going to do next weekend!

This probably describes every sunday for me. After going out on Friday and Saturday, I’m usually too shattered to do anything productive on Sunday, so I usually sleep very late and don’t shower the whole day. By the end of the day I start to stink. Its kind of disturbing, but kind of cool at the same time…

I was the antithesis of the OP on Sunday. I took two showers, washed my hair twice, and shaved my legs.

My underpants and bra didn’t match, though.

You wild thing, you! :rolleyes: :stuck_out_tongue:

Sorry. I just can’t revel in grubbiness. Believe me, I’ve tried. I leave it for those who can enjoy it. Would it help if I told you that I didn’t comb my hair after the second time I washed it?

Yes, we disembowel infants with our bare hands and then feast on them. :smack:

My mom is giving me the evil eye right now. “Why you tell people we eat babies?”

:dubious:

Everyone says I lost it.

Bah, you are an amateur. I have been off work since the middle of October, with inner ear problems. Since then I have averaged less than 2 showers a week. I can’t go anywhere, I am not doing anything, and I live alone. So I save the water and power unless I need to see a doctor or force my way to the grocery store.
