I got a shower cushion nad I think it fits perfectly. I can lie back in the tub without the cold shock and ongoing discomfort of rubbing my spine against the tub&#8217;s cold surface. I mean, this was never really a complaint. The cold of the surface is manageable by simply warming it up first. But that&#8217;s not always in my mind. But the hardness of the surface was an annoyance and seemingly a risk, even. I sometimes remember a comment someone made when I referred to hotel guests complaining that their toilet seats were unheated. They had to wake up to a *gasp* cold toilet seat. The comment from a friend &#8220;Cold toilet seat in the morning. That&#8217;s Third World.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Third world, indeed. The indignity, the sufferingy of starting your day sitting down on a cold bathtub floor. I live a luxurious life in which I have the opportunity to warm up the bathtub floor before setting by tender butt upon it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the cushion will work but now I await delivery of another 3 feet of shower hose. I&#8217;ve been using a 6 foot length chain and it&#8217;s always felt just a little bit inadequate. I shall see what difference an extra yard makes. At these lengths you&#8217;re in the market of people who buy very long shower hoses so they can wash their pets in the tub. I&#8217;m getting it so I can get water everywhere I can&#8217;t quite get it now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Was bummed to see that today&#8217;s shower, the first in which I used the new cushion, did not record. I plugged in the camera but, as happenes sometimes, it did not activate. I would have had to turn it on using the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My life feels like a prison. When the AI image making stuff matured one of the series I dug into was depicting people in prison cells with majestic views of Midtown Manhattan or the beach or Las Vegas&#8230; places where everything was happening but, from a prison cell, you had no access. You could only look at the world you lost access to when you chose a life of crime, or whatever you did to end up in a cell. Maybe you are simply in the prison of your life. You&#8217;ve fallen and you can&#8217;t get up.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can go back to ignoring me now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I finally found my &#8220;Today&#8221; show appearance from 1999. It was fun, although I seem to remember the producers feeling it came up a little short of expectations, which frankly were set pretty damn high. I don&#8217;t remember any feedback or contacts made as a result of that appearance. Maybe one email, but I don&#8217;t know. With that stuff you just never know what might ignite. I remember Allan Bridge grousing about how the mainstream media coverage of Apology typically resulted in a trickle of calls for a day or two, then back to normal. It was the smaller media that brought in the genuine apologistas. I magine that most people, seeing something on national or international television, assume the people involved are bigger than life, and unreachable through phalynxes of protective force fields and attitudinal barricades. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>And I think it&#8217;s a win.
