Interesting ! I will go measure the tub right now....the measurements are : 21 inches width and 56 inches long. The inches measured are based on the inside space of the tub. If you want to be technical add 3 inches for the outer area of space.

Okay tex , I am a girl

I don't usually get up in the night to drink water , then I would find myself going potty more ( girls have smaller bladders or at least I do )
and I would rather sleep through the night..

I have plenty of clean clothes. I change them everyday.

Toilet is normal use . I just don't flush insects and things down it .

I hope your post is supposedly being funny because it borders on sarcasm and everyone else here has been really good about posting tips and saving money.

Back to your regularly scheduled topic .....
Hi Gandalara! I am so sorry for not responding sooner. I don't really understand how to find responses to messages I've written. ;-(

You are right! OMG! That episode STILL traumatizes me. It's weird, but I just can't handle bugs for some reason. My father's godfather visited us several years ago and he was still laughing about the fact that I pitched a fit about him taking off my sandals because I did not like having the grass between my toes. That was at least thirty years ago. I don't know what is up with that. I can handle hoarders. I can handle organizing and cleaning the nastiest (my mother smokes three packs a day and anything is an imprompti ashtray) but I can not handle bugs. Ewww!

I never thought about the OP and baths, though. I'm glad to read s/he is bathing regularly. ;-) That's cool!
