I had a wonderful soaking tub in the last house. It was huge. I'm 5'5" on a good day...and had PLENTY of room to stretch out. Our next house will have the mac daddy tub with the shelf next to it, the bath bombs, the big fuzzy towels. I'll live in that bitch! I found online the absolute BEST stuff to clean bathtubs, I mean, this shit WORKS! 1 part Dawn citrus dishwashing liquid, 1 part white vinegar. Warm up the vinegar a bit (like pee warm), add it to the dishwashing liquid in a squirt bottle. Swirl the ingredients around (don't shake it, the bubbles...). DAMN...the shit works. Cuts soap scum like a knife. 

 

**I reserve the right to be a bit incoherent today, had the RFA on my lower back this morning. They give GOOD drugs for sedation!

Thanks for the tip!  I have some stuff in my tub that I can not get off.  I'll have to try that.

Hope you are feeling better!

@KnittingOwl use a green scrubby to get the crud off if it's a big build up. Spray, let it sit for 15 min or so then scrub. Repeat as necessary.

I am so sick of her calling other women's salvation into question.  "Christians".  

And these examples she's complaining about?  THEY ARE IN THE BIBLE.  That's why LORI HAS TO DELETE BIBLE VERSES left in comments.

 

[AlwaysDiscerning]

This is response to one of her doodle posts on fb. Lori being lazy again. We know darn well, fb isn't the only place where she stores her doodles. She posts them on instagram before fb and they are probably easier to find there. In addition, of course she has them stored somewhere on her computer in a file. They have to be pulled from somewhere! She could have just searched her computer and uploaded the doodle again in response to the comment.

I know what this is in response to. Yesterday I saw a comment from someone who was referencing Sarah and how she didn't obey (something like that). The commenter asked if you have to obey when he asks you to sin? And Lori said something like no don't obey if he asks you to rob a bank or watch porn, but most men won't do this so we are to obey in everything. The commenter then brought up Sarah saying something like "The reason I ask is because Sarah...." and I forget the rest. 

Its all DELETED now. I forget what fb post it was on, but I went through the past weeks and don't see it. That is her nasty passive aggressive move. She responded to the woman than deletes her then teases her in a doodle.

Posting pictures of bathtubs and trying to garner attention online. Can we tell she's freshly back from her daughter's?! The woman has NOTHING to do. 

Maybe she was mad throughout her visit with Cassi because Cassi, being a young wife and mother, only had a regular tub. Lori had to "slum it" by taking a non-reclining bath. In fact, Cassi might only have one bathroom so Lori might even have had to...gasp...wait her turn and take quick baths. This poor woman has suffered! 

Now, I have to ask. Does Lori's tub have jets?  I don't see any jets. My tub (which is bigger - heh) has jets - HOLY jets. They recycle the bath water into holy atonement water. 

Also, I have never talked about my tub so much. About ten people have seen my tub - and four of them live or have lived here. Because WHY?!? WHY would a fully functioning adult take a picture of her bathtub and boast about it. Maybe I have been doing it wrong all this time. 

Today I am going to take a picture of my toaster oven and make others feel bad about their lack of a toaster oven. Gonna be fun!!

IRL I have had the discussion among women friends regarding bath vs shower. Surprisingly there are STRONG feelings either way. I have a tub that looks a lot like Lori's (c. 1996) and I haven't used it once since we've lived here - almost 4 years. I guess I am on Team Shower.

I believe the message Lori is trying to convey is that Godly Women take tub baths.

With God, all things are possible. Pray about it. But, remember; the women of old did not have toaster ovens and life was much better back then since they knew how ro suffer. Oh! And suffering! We all must suffer in this life.

Godly Toaster Oven in remodeled kitchen.

[Fascinated]

I hope that soon we will be blessed and encouraged by photos of the godly toilets. I wonder if they are ‘comfort height’ and with a soft closing lid. I wonder, also, if they are round or oval. Would there be a bidet or would she simply employ the slanted godly bathtub for that purpose?  Hopefully answers will be forthcoming.

[Loveday]

Well, I DO have a toaster oven, so there, @usmcmom 

I will not, however, be posting pics of my bathtub. It's been in situ since 1982, and it is hideous. Lori would blanch in horror if she saw it. It's very clean, though--no chicken-juice soaked Norwex has ever touched it! (I picture Lori cleaning everything from the kitchen counters to toilets with the same Norwex rag, and not necessarily in that order)-- and I always provide a fresh bar of soap and lots of fluffy towels for guests.  

[Red Hair, Black Dress]

Stepping in to out brag Lori on my reclining tub.  Chez Dress (built 1912) has an over 6 ft claw foot tub with a sloping back.  Mr. Dress can lie full length in it.  It is also deep.

Take that Lori!

Although I must admit there is a chip in the porcelain on the edge and a very stubborn rust stain around the drain  -- and it is jerry-rigged as a shower with a hanging ring from the ceiling for the shower curtain. 10 points off.  But ......... no Sacred Norwex cloth has ever touched the tub, so 3 points added back by the Romanian judge.

Alas we do not have a godly toaster oven . So yeah ..... suffering.  I don't  want one though. Does it still count as suffering?

I have the Dawn/vinegar mix in one of those dish scrubby things with the reservoir handle kept in the shower. Good for giving a quick scrub here and there while you're in there anyway.

Godly women (especially those with cats) keep the toilet lid down.

Spoiler

Ken is very good about putting the toilet seat down.  He has been ever since we got married.  I am very grateful for that!  However, we have two cats who like to drink out of our toilet.  I don't want them drinking out of it because I don't think it is sanitary for them or for us to sit where the cats have been standing.

I decided the way to stop them was to keep the toilet lid down.  I have asked Ken several times to do it giving him my reasons why.  He remembers once in awhile but not often.  I walked past the bathroom yesterday and the lid was up.

I thought, "I could either be upset with him, scold him, and remind him once more or I can forget about it and just close it myself."  I decided to do the latter.  I spent way too many years being upset with him because he wasn't doing things the way I wanted him to do them.  

http://lorialexander.blogspot.com/2013/10/putting-toilet-lid-down.html

 See?  She didn't scold Ken for not closing the lid.  Except she did.  On her blog, for the whole world to see.  Now isn't that "godly" of her?  Bless her heart, she had to shut the lid herself!  But she didn't get upset!  She just wrote a blog post and called it done!  She's not upset.  Not one little bit!

Heh...she added this bit in the comments:

 I am sure if I put a huge sign up in the bathroom, he would remember. 

   Putting up a "huge sign" on the internet is much more effective!

[smittykins]

I don’t put the lid down; I have to close the bathroom door or the Feline Headship will try to drink out of the sink or tub.

*prays, no toaster oven materializes*  What's wrong?  Why don't I have a toaster oven, like a godly woman would? I'm suffering here!!!  

Hehe...when I got married the first time I didn't have an oven, or a stove, all we had for cooking was a single burner hot plate and a toaster oven, soon joined by an electric skillet.  But you know what?  I was happy, because I was in love, beginning a life with 'the man God had given me,' who meant a lot more to me than a paycheck and appliances.  I was also young and stupid, which didn't become obvious until years down the line...but I digress.  My happiness had nothing to do with the things we had, or didn't have.  I doubt that Lori has any idea what that kind of happiness is like.

My master bath tub, when married to my ex-husband, had 10 jets and was made of marble (custom-made to boot).  Take that Lori!

But now my DH and I have no tub in the master bathroom. Our new house belonged to an elderly couple, so they had a walk-in shower installed.  If I want to take a bath, I must use our DD's bath tub, which quite honestly, fits her nicely, but I feel cramped.   Plus, my relatives in Cape Town, South Africa are facing water shortage issues now, and I doubt that they give two shits if they take a godly bath or a heathen shower, as long as they are clean.    

I also do not have a microwave, toaster oven, or fancy kitchen scale. One of my kitchen counters has a small crack in it from where the stove was installed. I'm really suffering here!  

 

[EowynW]

I would loveee a gold quality digital kitchen scale. So many uses! Other than that I'm fine here lol. 

[molecule]

I could post a picture of what happened to the toilet in my half-bath when my son's dog trapped himself in there one day. Heck, maybe I'll share it on Instagram and add a #toiletsarebest or something.

We asked Santa for one this past Christmas. We don't have a toaster oven or a microwave or a sloping tub (just two regular ones), but the kitchen scale is everything. You should get yourself one!

Lori is all about using examples from the Bible to back up what she believes. She cannot seem to take into account that one Bible verse or story can have differing perceptions or meanings to different people. The only person right in the world is HER!

 

Yet Sarah (who she loves to use as the perfect submissive woman) actually was given authority over Abraham once in the Bible. God told Abraham he had to obey Sarah or at least “heed her voice” when she told her husband to turn away from sin (or polygamy) by sending Ishmael and his mother away.

 

Lori seems to be all about the wife submitting to her husband for anything, she has always seemed to push an agenda where the wife shouldn't give any voice or advice to her husband and to “just take everything with joy in your heart.” Another example would be Abigail did not submit to her husband when he refused to treat David with hospitality. He was described as worthless and lazy, and yet, Abigail was praised by doing the right thing and not submitting to her husband when she made sure that David and his army was given food and drink.

 

There are more examples about strong women in the Bible. I bet it kills Lori about this. She acts like they don't exist. Then again I am contradicting Lori like those other women, thus contradicting God according to her.

So apparently there is a FB page I’m not aware of or this woman isn’t engaging as she claims:

As many of you know, I have suffered through a lot of physical pain.

Why yes, MANY people do know about all Lori's years of pain and illness.  Why do they know?  Because Lori posts about it CONSTANTLY.  It's a running theme through her posts.  A constant reminder of all she's been through.  Have we heard it once?  No.  Have we heard it twice? No.  We've heard it countless times.  Over and over, until anytime you hear Lori's name, you automatically think, "so, so sick".

"I didn't do _______ because I was so, so sick." 

"I didn't go _______ because I was so, so sick."

And on, and on, and on...

This from a woman who teaches OTHERS (read: NOT HER) to suffer in silence and not complain.

If Lori was "suffering in silence" as she admonishes others to do, then "many of us" wouldn't know how very, very much she has suffered.

About the kitchen scale - I have one from weight watchers that is fabulous.  You can put the container on it and set the scale to zero and then measure - so no extra math.

About tubs:  I've had extensive discussions about tubs with Mr. Krazy and our neighbors (who completed a bathroom remodel last year) as we are wanting to remodel ours.  My neighbor sent me before and after pics so that we have more information as we look at bids/contractors.  (The bathroom remodel is in response to what seems to be a crack starting in the tub - and the thought that it would be best to do it all at once. . . )

About toaster ovens:  I consider it a necessary item for Texas summers - when I want to bake something and not heat up my air conditioned house.  Now I realize I need to repent and begin saying a prayer of Thanksgiving for it, along with my daily prayer of Thanksgiving for coffee. Thank you for all your Rufusly examples that have led me to this realization!

Re:  Lori's doodle today - if there are so many examples of strong women in the Bible, then why isn't Lori's 1 verse considered the exception?  Hmm?

I'm hoping with the tax return. I can't justify an "extra" purchase until then. I can, knit & dabble with soap & body products and a scale would make all of those easier, so it's def on my list.
