Indigo: Thanks. Okay then. I will laugh at what Nasty Daddy said, too, because he reminded me when he said it of my own real, biological father, whose favorite line on camping trips, whenever we complained - about anything (one time my sister complained there was nowhere to plug in her electric hot rollers) - said things to us like: "Well, girls! You are actually living in near heaven because you are in the 20th century. You have air conditioning at home, and grocery stores, and we have a car. Count your blessings" Then he would go on to tell us that mankind was actually created to be able to live just about anywhere, and how we could all live in a cave with just fire and animal skins, if we had to do it. etc., etc. (If I recall correctly, my sister tossed one of her hot rollers at him "accidentally" during one of these "conversations" on the camping trip, during which a garter snake crawled into her sleeping bag as well). Personally, I like clean people, too, but don't mind sweat and someone who hasn't showered all day, either. The teeth brushing thing might really get to me, though. This thread was just a riot (I do understand your point, Indigo. I do). - Susan.
