Why aren't all bathroom like this?

@maxdancona,

You nailed it Max, everybody is fascinated with you and hanging on tenter hooks waiting for you to reign in all the fancy pants. Yep, yep, yep, yep that’s the ticket. Merry Christmas you utterly compelling dashing bon vivant.

@glitterbag,

My dear Glitterbag, Setanta and the rest of the in crowd. This is a thread about bathrooms and culture. Up until Setanta's setantrum, all the posts on this thread were on topic. Now you all want to make this thread into another thread about Max. As much as that strokes my ego, another thread where the in-crowd whines about Max isn't necessary.

Again I expressed an opinion on the topic. You can ignore me, or you can engage me. This continued sniping is getting tired to anyone outside of your little clique.

Can we get back to the topic. If you can't respond intelligently to posts on topic, please put me on ignore.

This obsession with Max isn't healthy. I really wish you people who can't stand anyone expressing a different perspective on a topic would learn to use the ignore button.

Referring to oneself in the third person isn't healthy either.

Neither is claiming what the thread is about (bathrooms and culture), when you were the one that immediately hijacked the thread, making the initial comment about not only culture, but economics, and stating what is and is not acceptable for others to have.

Doesn’t matter to some if they get negative attention, just as long as they are getting attention.

Sigh. Another thread made useless.

@chai2,

It was fun while it lasted. I would love to have half of these innovations in my bathroom.

Haven't taken a good soak in a Lush bubble filled bath in years.

I believe I am correct in saying that the Japanese call them soaking tubs. Here's an image from a search for "Japanese soaking tub" which shows a wooden soaking tub, something they've had for many centuries:

Most of the images are for porcelain, though--but that will work, too.

@Setanta,

Soaking tub...? That explains why one rinses oneself off with the shower head before steeping oneself in the soaking tub.

@chai2,

My comments were appropriate in a forum that is open to the public. If you want a closed little discussion with a narrow group of people who think j like you, you have two choices.

1. Go to Facebook where you can block anyone who isn't part of your bubble.

2. Use the ignore button.

If you post in a place where anyone can respond, you aren't going to get the narrow group of rote responses you apparently want.

Some of us like hearing different ideas and perspectives. I don't know why you are posting in an open forum. If you hate people with different perspectives so much, I don't really understand why you chose to interact in a place where we exist.

The ignore button is calling.

@Setanta,

Wouldn't the wood stay warmer?

I imagine they're coated with something for hygienic reasons?

BTW everyone, please excuse my poor spelling and or grammar in some of my posts. Was typing on my phone and I get ahead of myself.

Yes, there is usually a bench on which one sits to soap up, and then rinse off before getting in the tub.

Those Japanese, they're a clean lot.

They make wood-fired soaking tubs:

That one is from a Seattle-based company, but you get the idea.

Yes, and when they first encountered Europeans they thought them to be smelly and dirty.

One thing I'd want is some sort of device or flotation system so my head wouldn't accidently go under water. Warm water, nodding off, sinking under.... even if you startled awake, couldn't be pleasant.

Also nice idea would be jets that could be directed to get to just that right spot.

Ahh....

i.e., a drain in the floor and an extra hose to spray the wall down, with a method to keep the water from leaving the room.

this is why I've always dreamed of a home with a huge walk-in shower. Friends of my mother had one in their house in Germany back in the 1970's. Most wonderful thing. Shower, hose down. Done. I don't understand bathtubs at all so I'd very happily give up that space.
