| Oooh! We're getting a little racy this week. In my opinion, I have here the most interesting item ever found on ebay. My sister sent me a link to it...you should also do this if you find something noteworthy. She lived in the 70's and her name was Tina. But not just "Tina." No, she had the well-deserved, (and maybe even earned?) name of Hot Tub Tina. She wore the name proudly on her pink satin baseball jacket. I said, "I don't care if it was the 70's or not, you don't just put something like that on your jacket!" Our friend Will said, "If you have the name on your jacket, that means it's your career." However tempting it is to contemplate the exploits of this wildcat in her heyday, it's more interesting to wonder where she is now... |

| I wonder what she looks like after spending the best years of her life in a hot tub. I wonder if she still uses the hot tub. It's time for a rant... I have this problem with public hot tubs...pools too, for that matter. Here's my angle and I think you'll see this my way. Most public hot tubs are dominated by old people --my sincere apologies to the over 80 crowd-- but these are people with tired bones and tired bladders who most enjoy a long soak in the tub. Just getting to the tub is a lot of effort and this deserves to be applauded. There are shoes that require you to bend over and then there's clothing to remove and buttons to fumble with. Maybe that swimsuit is a bit too tight and you're a little out of breath as you squeeze into it... |

| Then you start to walk over to the hot tub and the cold air hits you. You're a little unstable as you lower yourself into the tub so you grasp the railing, then finally, you sink into the blessed warmth of the water. Ahhh! The warm water hits your belly... The whole thought of it makes me ill. Hello! What did you expect me to say? I just described the Herculean effort it takes for an old person to get into a hot tub. Do you really think they're gonna get out if nature calls? You all need to know what that relaxed look on their faces means...they're thanking God for chlorine and hoping that there's enough to cover a little leakage. Just talking about this has made me annoyed. How do I get sidetracked? Now I'm in a bad mood. Back to Tina. I figure she's probably around 60 now. I wonder how her life is going... |
