Running around in the shower

MyLot member, Jimbo, has lost a little weight. I commented that he’d soon be a shadow of his former self. All my husband’s family were slim as young people and Vince was very thin when we married. For years, I weighed more than him which was a bit mortifying but thankfully he is now a few kilos more than me.
When we were first married, my grandmother would tell Vince that he was so skinny he’d have to stand up twice to make a shadow. Her other favourite jibe was to tell him that he’d have to run around in the shower to get wet. Luckily, he didn’t take offence easily.
The photo is of a shower in Ireland. The lights went from blue to red as the shower got hotter. I'd never seen one before and thought it very nifty.

It seems that Vince and I are in the same tribe. I weighed 115 pounds when I got married and now I am 150 pounds but not fat for my 5 feet, 7 and 1/2 inches of height.

@JudyEv I am actually trying to gain more weight but my eating is just enough, I cannot eat more.

@Alexandoy Can you eat more fattening foods? I read somewhere that double malted milkshakes have a huge amount of calories.

@JudyEv I wonder if it could play some music as well.

I have exactly the same shower that I bought at Aldi, our friend from Monte Carlo wanted the same when he stayed at our home last year. My husband is very thin now, but still 8 Kg more than I am, in the past he was 16 Kg more, I was 42 Kg when we got married, but I am 47 Kg now.

That really is a cool shower! My husband was very slim when we married also. One winter he gained about 30 pounds, but has recently lost about 35 pounds.

@JudyEv I wonder why men seem to be able to lose weight easier than women?

@1creekgirl I wouldn't have thought that but it could well be true.

Your grandmother sure was funny! I'll have to remember both of those lines for my son. He is super skinny. He'll get a laugh when I tell him both of those lines your grandmother used on Vince.

@JudyEv I've been in situations where I've felt like a piece of chewed string before!

i lvoe those high tech showerheads was thinking about getting one for our bathroom but was told it was a colorful shower head and sleeping on the couch or no shower head.

It is supposed to be a safely issue. If the lights are red, the water might be too hot for safety.@DocAndersen (54402)

Stand up twice to make a shadow! That made me chuckle. Me being a little fluffier than my husband, I say that you don't need to shake the sheets to find me. LOL.
Pretty neat shower head. Battery operated I assume. I wouldn't want to have a lighted electrical devise spraying water on me!

Cool showerhead. When I was in college I was skinny. They never tell me to run around the shower but often times they told me to stay indoors if it is windy.

Haha - that funny too. I think I've heard of a strong wind blowing someone away which is similar.

@judyev My grandmother would have referred to Vince as two yards of chewed string or six feet of pump water. Now about that colourful shower head, do engineers and designer freaks have nothing better to think about? Why not come up with something useful for the bathroom like an automatic, mechanical hand that will wash ones feet since bending in a small shower cubicle is ill-advised as the years roll on?

I’ve been wanting to get lights on my shower lol just for show I guess
I’ve always weighed more than my husband but now he weighs a good 10/15 pounds more than me
I’m proud of myself I have worked hard for where I am at now (:
