Do YOU go 3 or more days between showers ???

my oldest son and I were framing a dunkin dounuts in north detroit somewhere middle of august very hot that summer, In the middle of a black asphalt parking lot, on a 5 way corner congested as hell. end of day we would switch out our soaking wet clothing before the 2 hr ride home. One day I had changed short underwear slipped on some flip flops, jumped in the truck realizing I didnt change my seat soaked shirt pulled it off while sitting in the truck the weight of the shirt flipped around and got the kid right in the face, I laughed for while even though he was punching the hell out of my side and arm, The good old days :lol:
 
I have a miserable sense of smell. Probably a blessing in many ways. But made me paranoid in my trucking driving days, smelling trouble often ment the game was over. Burning brake linings, I used the fire extinguisher, burned up transmission, not so cheap.
I have a terrible sense of smell too. I blame mine from back in the 70s & 80s working on diesel trucks and tractors we would run them in the shop during the winter with the doors closed until the exhaust was so bad you couldn't breathe and your eyes were watering. No exhaust clearing system back in those days.
 
Shower every morning to wake up & get the nights 'stank' off
if I sweat, & I usually do a lot, I'll shower after golf
or after working in the garage or yard, sometimes 3 times a day

I hate humid weather, sweaty a-- crack & ball pits weather
I hate the humidity back east or south east even worse, like a sweat shower

most women I knew showered at a min 2 times a day
wash their hair at least once daily
shave their legs reg, & the bikini strip
wouldn't think of going without some sort of clean up routine
even when camping out

Now shaving, I can do without if need be,
I have a goatee anyway, have a full beard sometimes too
I do maybe 2-3 times a week max
I let the stubble grow, don't care as long as I'm not going anywhere
if I am, then I'll shave
I'm a stickler about brushing my teeth several times daily
& even cutting my hair & beard regularly too

I've said the same sh-t as most here, 72hrs WTF ?,
are people that stinky, that lazy,
I have to prod my dad 88 y/o to shower, guilt him into it, sad really
he wears a catheter & can really stink, just struggles a lot
but he for the past 10 or so years, he didn't shower as much as he should
even when he was traveling a lot (must have stank bad)

I'm not around a lot of people anymore,
I'm getting to become a recluse, a home body my buddies say
rarely leave my compound (let alone my county), except to go shopping or golf...

I thought the humidity was pretty bad here in GA until I went to Singapore to work. Basically on the equator. Holy crap is it tuff there. The temperature and humidity are about the same every day in the 90s. You walk out of the hotel in the morning and it just slaps you in the face.
Makes you wonder how those guys did it in WWII. Some tuff sob's.
 
I love our swimming pool in the summer. Go for an early morning jog - then jump in the pool. Work in the garage awhile until my clothes and self reek of garage perfume - then go jump in the pool. Mow the lawn once the dew has dried - then jump in the pool. Unfortunately those days are growing short as Oct approaches.
 
I had a pool at my last place. It was great for a quickie cool off...

After work in the summer, I often changed my shirt for the ride home. The work shirts would dry and end up all stiff as if I had sprayed them with some glue or something.
 
I didn't read most of this.....geeeeze but I understand why some didin't.....
