A while ago when I was trying to fix my back knots, I took a couple of really hot baths. It’s funny, but I don’t really enjoy baths -there’s only so much soaking/reading/staring at the ceiling/pretending you’re a mermaid a person can take. (If there were a t.v. in the bathroom it would be a completely different story.) I also cringe at how much water a regular bath uses.
It would be cool, and more eco-friendly, to have a tiny, deep bathtub like a Japanese soaking tub, but I’m certainly not going to buy one. I was thinking of how to perhaps prototype one out of a Rubbermaid tub or something, then the ol’ meandering brain started to think that a really tall tub that conformed more to a person’s shape would be cool, and use even less water.
The solution? A spacesuit, filled with hot water! Genius, eh? I bet that would just use a gallon or two of water, and I could refill it from a tea kettle!
What’s the web address for the patent office?

On the rare occasion that I take a bath, I bring our little tv into the bathroom. I’ve tried reading, but I always get my book/magazine wet. And staring at the ceiling only goes so far.
Kristi says
Could your suit do bubbles?
Peggy says
If she eats alot of beans it could.
Beth says
Heh.
Peggy says
Your suit rocks!! And you could lay (I think it’s lie, but that sounds weird) on the couch, watch TV & let the knots just melt away!
Beth says
I don’t care for baths at all. In fact I can’t even begin to remember the last time I took one? Perhaps in college when I traveled to Lithuania and my host family didn’t have a shower? That was 17 years ago.
Yup. I hate baths.
Brad says
If you wore it constantly for too long would you dissolve?
Lauren says
Ewwww. Then my head would fall off my dissolved body. Ewwww.
Brad says
Skeleton in a space suit:
“Hey! Who turned out the lights?”
Lauren says
Ahhhhhh!!!! 5:30 in the morning and I have a serious shiver down my back. Off to turn on all the lights, now. Thanks, mister.
(That’s a line from a very scary Doctor Who episode.)
Patrice says
Hi Lauren! I love your website -- -- it’s absolutely you! 🙂 Thanks for the e-mail and enjoy your bath -- -- I’ll look for the spacesuit on the store shelf someday soon!

Lauren says
Yay! Welcome, Patrice! (She’s a friend from high school, y’all.)
Karla says
HI PATRICE!! How are you?! Are you still in Valpo? If so, I’m just down the road from you in Crown Town! We should get together sometime. 🙂
