Looking for a Hot Tub?
 

If anyone out there has always wanted a hot tub, there is a really large one available through Habitat for Humanity at their main store in Gardena for only.... $700. Just wanted to pass the word, since I know there are some homeowners on here who also love hot tubbing. :)

Their home stores offer new stuff at a fraction of retail, and the profits go to help build houses for families in need.

It depends on who’s in it and what they are wearing……

:D

I had a friend who found a free hot tub on Craigslist. It needed some minor inexpensive repair and was as good as new.

Yep, I'm going to do that someday.

I will admit it irrational but to me the thought of buying a used hot tub is a lot like the thought of buying used underwear.

You can do that from vending machines in Japan.

From this I'd suppose you would never sit in anyone else's hot tub or pool.

I love when you mention a rare irrationality.

...my peeps are a strange lot



wurd :snap:

Generally true. More so for hot tubs than swimming pools though I'm not generally fond of swimming in chlorinated water.

1. The size of hot tubs is such that generally if there are other people in it with me, they'll be inside my preferred personal space. And if it is crowded enough that touching other people is mostly unavoidable then I really don't want to be in there.

2. If I had a large whirlpool bathtub in my bathroom, I'd not invite people to come take a soak with me in it. Not sure why putting the bathtub outside changes that dynamic.

3. A hot tub just doesn't provide enough perceived dilution of all the crap (literal and figurative) that may be coming off of other people. In a full size swimming pool it doesn't so much bother me that someone in there is probably taking a tinkle. It's more bothersome in the much more confined space of a hot tub.

4. I'm a whale so generally avoid situations where I'll be taking my shirt off. It is harder for me to accept that nobody cares what I look like when we're all sitting in a circle forced to look at each other.

5. To reiterate: dilution, dilution, dilution. I want my communal liquids to be homeopathic in their dilution of human detritus.

6. It's not 1978 any more.

Do you prefer poker, or do you go straight for baccarat?
