I do remember you...Ann, I have tears in my eyes. <br /><br />I do remember your Florence debacle.<br /><br />Through this whole thing, I just wanted you to have the right to relax. If you have to wrestle with your drain plug after a bath, it negates the relaxing benefits. <br /><br />Universal bath plugs? I'll look for them the next time I go to Ikea.Theresa Milsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477761307315565259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-62719957318186477242010-09-16T12:33:33.546-05:002010-09-16T12:33:33.546-05:00Glad you enjoyed it Siobhan.Glad you enjoyed it Siobhan.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524878248746427258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-40275448794080980142010-09-15T16:40:34.642-05:002010-09-15T16:40:34.642-05:00I am delighted to see I have a few fellow bath plu...I am delighted to see I have a few fellow bath plug users who have had experiences similar to mine! I feel so much better now. Thank you! <br /><br />Hi Catherine, I know what you mean about the light thing. I had an issue with that a number of years ago. :)<br /><br />Hi Brigid, My mother liked to tell anyone who would listen, that Drama was in fact my middle name!<br /><br />Hi Summer, I too until this experience was only familiar with the push down, pull up type of bath plugs. But as they say, travel broadens the mind.<br /><br />Hi Kittie, Hope you got the universal bath plug. And thank you my last evening was very relaxing.<br /><br />Hi Joanna, Advertising my ineptitude is not really my style. As a result I deal. I should ask for help....but<br /><br />Hi Agnes, Oh thank you! <br /><br />Hi Christine, Floss is useful in so many ways. I never leave home without it.<br /><br />Hi Susannah, We all need a laugh. Glad I could accommodate!<br /><br />Hi aLmYbNeNr, Calm is not how I would describe the language I was spitting out or the gnashing of teeth I was doing. Still I survived! :)<br /><br />Hi Jinksy, Yes my life is just filled with such Keystone Cop sorts of episodes. Are you a fellow Keystoner?<br /><br />Hi Mary, True! I will always remember Glendalough that is for sure.<br /><br />Hi Niamh, I can't help but think how differently my four days would have been if I didn't get the room with the bathtub, but hey now I don't ever have to worry again. I have the universal bath plug!<br /><br />Hi Nicole, Delighted you have company in the befuddled club. <br /><br />Hi Boonie, and yes I felt drained, very drained! :)<br /><br />Hi Kitty, Yes I did have a sinking feeling on that very first night! A supply of universal bath plugs will never go astray...unless you forget to bring them with you that is!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524878248746427258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-52321479003168137362010-09-15T11:45:57.677-05:002010-09-15T11:45:57.677-05:00LOL!!!

You know I never even knew there was such a thing as a universal sink plug but now that I know they exist I shall have a stack of them because even as I laugh I know that this is exactly the sort of thing I'd do too! :-)<br /><br />I am so so so happy your third night was stress-free!!! <br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-30968720976526742262010-09-15T07:49:19.350-05:002010-09-15T07:49:19.350-05:00You must have felt quite drained after all of that...You must have felt quite drained after all of that.<br /><br />Have a nice day, BoonieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-57113698262512579132010-09-15T07:47:57.902-05:002010-09-15T07:47:57.902-05:00You must have felt quite drained after all of that...You must have felt quite drained after all of that.<br /><br />Have a nice day, BoonieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3251941385386023381.post-2261052406090166172010-09-14T23:12:42.517-05:002010-09-14T23:12:42.517-05:00I didi that!!!

And I hate those sinks/baths you need a PhD to work. Even those auto ones in washrooms thwart me at times- they start spraying you if you stand in front of them and then the paper towels have to be coaxed out by waving your hands in front of the panel. Grrr! now they tell us hand dryers are the worst for cross infection! <br />I replied over on my blog to your comment.

My hub loves showers, but, quite honestly, if I have to shower and don't have a proper bath, I feel cheated.
