"Do De Rubber Duck"

I bet Ernie would have an especially hard time opening those difficult soap wrappers with only four fat fingers.

Liquid body wash is so much better than bar soap.

Well, I think on the old board this thread would have gone a lot further. I am forever the (foolish) optimist!

But yay for Ernie and body wash! 🤷

In Season 4, Leonard and Priya have a shower sex scene. I would just like to take a moment to say that shower sex is overrated and should not be a thing. When I see it on TV, I think to myself that this is yet another area where we are supposed to suspend disbelief and go along with it because it's on TV. Show of hands- am I right? (I am and I am prepared to defend my stance.)

And if you want to discuss something less naughty:
1.Show of hands: Is it not one of life's most annoying moments to step into the shower, get soaking wet, realize the bar of soap is used up, have to get back out cold and soaking wet to unwrap a bar of soap (which is even harder when you're wet), soak the ground around you, and then get back into the shower?

1. Show of hands: Soap companies need to make our lives easier. Wrapping soap bars in thin plastic makes them impossible to open and they should go back to packaging them in cardboard boxes.

And I was looking for a rubber duckie emoticon but couldn't find one so you just get a duck.

1) Yes. But, I'll take that over finishing up a shower, then reaching for a towel and finding that the rack is empty...and even worse, that the bathroom cabinet is just as bare as you are.

2) I'm good with any packaging that does not require scissors to open. I know there are safety concerns re: lil tykes; it’s just that I’m tired of banging elbows and hands against shower walls while trying to open hermetically sealed packaging.

Yes FKA, that would be even worse! Getting out with no towel would be terrible, and freezing!

And thank you for your response. I can only imagine what some of the members of the old board might have done with the first part of my OP. I can imagine people like BLT having a field day with it. Even though BLT and some of the others could be nasty, they definitely made the board interesting!

I was a real dingbat for thinking that was a special community that would last forever wasn't I? It was only an illusion.

We can take some satisfaction that lots of people are still enjoying the show, including many who didn't get to see it when it was first on, even if they don't come here to chat about it.

Anyway, out of what you listed, the only thing I'd want to do in the shower is Priya.

Don’t know if we are too sensitive now, or we were too callus before; but, didn't tackle the first part because just felt that I’d have to work too hard to be PC. So decided not to go chasing waterfalls, but stick with....

As for BLT, hope against hope that the poster watches “The Flight Attendant”; especially since (judging from the trailer, promos, and PR) Cuoco’s character’s dilemma is set in motion by a bout of heavy drinking and carousing.

If so, and if comments were made on said show, I expect what we would hear about is "duckface."

Just meant that if it didn’t work out this time, put it behind you…without lament or censure…and carry on.

I, too, miss the old days when you could drop any topic, and posters would “fall in from all over” to offer up opinions…insightful to outrageous. And I think we can tell that you were/are trying to get some of those old embers to burn again.

I try to take heart. Although there are only a few steady posters on here; regularly enough there will be a comment or two or three from “voices from the past”. This shows that while others out there may not always be posting, they are...still reading.

So, even with our "low turnout" I think: all is not lost.

I guess I had grown to worry that maybe I was the only one, perhaps naively and obviously, having a good time on the old board. I hope everyone else had as special a time as I did. Honestly, for a couple of years it made this normally reserved, wallflower girl feel like the most popular girl in school.

It is time for me to let it go.
