Are you all sitting down?

[Skellman]

The dream has come to fruition, my friends. I'm the happy owner of a Sundance Hamilton. I lost my virginity this past Sunday morning. It was quite enjoyable.

I didn't want to say anything until I actually sat in it. With my luck something certainly would have happened.

I will need to enlist the help of my teenage kids in order to post pics.

Thanks to all of you for your tolerance, input, advice etc.
In a couple years I might even be able to give some advice on the chemistry.

Brothersean,

It's a coppersand shell with Mahogany panels.
It's not what I would have chosen but, it is growing on me.
It was a floor model thus, I had little choice.
It has the stereo which I didn't want either. But, that too is becoming more enjoyable as I listen to some classic rock while soaking.

I still can't get my wife to go in. I truly believe she's afraid that she'll love it and I can say "I told ya so".

Maybe if I promise her I won't get frisky?

Tell her it will get rid of cellulite...,of course if she doesn't have any, you are back to ground zero OR she could bust you one for suggesting that she does  

Seriously, My husband and I love having our morning coffee in the tub, listening to the birds (especially now that it's spring). I bet if you buy her a nice robe, make her a great cup of coffee and arrange to spend a quiet morning together, she will see the light

Good luck and enjoy!

Boni,

She would definitely take it the wrong way if I mentioned anything about cellulite. She is very sensitive and tends to distort things I say into something negative.
I asked her again when she got home from waitressing last night and she said no. You would think that a part-time waitress would be eager to get in a tub.

So, I just soaked by myself and listened to the beloved Cub vs. Colorado on the radio.

Sorry Skellman, I only said that because my friend and I have been comparing dieting notes and I told her that logically, hot water and strong massage..along with drinking lots of water should help get rid of cellulite. This friend who would NEVER come in my tub, said if I proved that, she would gladly try it. I thought it was funny, she is so afraid of what could be in the water, but if she had a good motivation, she would try it.  She had a beautiful jacuzzi jetted bathtub that she made her husband rip out because she was afraid of bacteria lurking in the jets, so using a hot tub with other people isn't something she would ever do....unless it performed miracles

Boni,

You certainly do not need to apologize. I'll get her in the tub sooner or later.

[Bonibelle]

I know when she sees how much you enjoy it..and how good you feel, and how well you sleep from a nice evening soak, she will come around. Could she be a bit angry that you bought the tub in the first place?
