    ....just crossed my mind before the bedtime... I mean, what.. do you lay in your bed dirty?

    Additional, for the people who brush their teeth before the breakfast - do you brush them after the breakfast too, when it's most certainly more needed?

    i don't believe in hygiene. [Emoticon not found]

    What's hygiene?

    I take a shower in the morning because sometimes I sweat at night, and it's easier for me to shave in the morning after my pores have been opened by the hot water.

    I wear old shirts and pajama pants to bed and wash my bedding often enough that it isn't a problem going to bed a little dirty.

    speaking of smelly breath and bad hygiene, I always eat smelly food with extra garlic and onion before a grappling tournament. It gives me an edge. [Emoticon not found]

    How odd you decided to post to this number. The next question is whether the number will change, or bobthezebra keeps it there.

    Why? I get a closer shave of my facial hair after I shower.

    That and it helps me wake up.

    all that really matters is that either no one lays in someones bed that does not shower at night. And another all that matters is that you shower no longer than 24 hours after you dance!

  3.  

    So, you're saying it's a bad thing that my last shower was 2 months ago?

    Do I really sweat that much... to warrant showers more often?

    I showered in Denver, but slept in my car last night. Driving across Texas all day, I felt like I was swimming in sweat, and ultimately after getting my stuff into my new place I took a nap then a shower, without waiting for the next morning.

    If you feel gross enough. . .

    It's always exciting when you have 8 or 9 people trying to cycle through one shower... heh

    Showering and sweating... almost the same thing. Just without the soap (which one is without the soap is another story!)

    And yes, I like wearing long sleeve shirts because I sweat a lot. Seems backwards, I know.

    What are you doing in Texas?

    And btw, if I showered at night, I'd have to shower in the morning, as I know no other way to wake up!

    It's the best way to wake up, for sure. Everything else is just fake waking up.

    I don't want to know why you want to know that.

    I was already stoked about wearing suit jackets and sports coats while dancing (thanks to bryson), but Chewy helped me realize the sweat-covering qualities of a jacket.

    I'm still fake awake!

    and the moral of the story is to take a shower... i didn't think we had a problem with this in denver until on the ride home today i could smell smelly feet the whole way home and i never quite figured out whos feet smelled. one night we got in the car after one of the late nights. Grant asked us to roll down the windows because we all had a funky smell. Britt blamed it on the guys that were dancing with us, and i thought it was quite funny because it probably was really true.

    Yeeeesss... showers=good... smelly/sweaty/sticky=bad.... and while I quite agree that guys are the most frequent offenders, I have to mention that there were a few follows that were a little offensive to the nostrils.

    yeah... it's always fun when you're dancing with someone and you do an underarm turn. BAM! as soon as she lifts her arm it hits you, just like that.

    it's enough to ruin a good dance...
