2P or not 2P. That's the question. :D

But then you have to balance it out with Pollyanna's bath. A bath a day is a lot of water :sneaky:

I can't really say, since I think I lost my LTM about two days ago. ;)

a few things to add

Do not let the shower water go down the drain ever: its a waste of money

- Place a large bowl inside the shower - stand in the bowl when showing to collect the water. Done, use the water to wash clothes

- add to the above, why not launder ones undies when showing -wear them when showering?

- Or, use the soiled (collected) water to flush the lav by keeping it in a 5 -10 gallon container to the side (always topped up) from each persons shower.

- The soiled water can also be used to wash the car, swill the steps or the driveway

If the water from the shower was sitting in the pipes you might have a point, but if you pee in the shower it is washed down the drain with copious amounts of water, and (hopefully) the last water from the shower will be nothing but pure water.

No problem there. The chlorine will kill off any nasties instantly.

A long bath (and soak) is nice - if you keep adding hot water - but bizarrely it never makes me feel clean - even after the fingers have wrinkled. For me, the bath is a social affair.

A short hot shower seems to have the effect of making me feel clean.

Anyhow, noone ever gets out of the path to pee, do they?
