Hot tub
Have you ever heard the following expression: "If all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail?" Well, if your "hammer" is a hot tub, then everything becomes a nail. I've been using the hot tub in my apartment building as a panacea lately. Here is a list of things it cures:
- Hangovers - Sweating out the toxins and getting blood flowing to your muscles helps recovery time. After all this sweating, you will need to replenish your body with clean water, but try to resist the temptation to just start gulping the hot tub water.
- Stress - After a long week of school and work, a hot tub can make you feel great. Don't worry - while you are in the hot tub, your studying, paper writing, and programming assignments will all do themselves. Little pens will dance upon paper and keystrokes will type themselves, like you are Sabrina the Teenage Witch or something. Except Usher will not be guest starring in this episode.
- Insomnia - Sometimes its hard to sleep due to stress and over-caffeination. A hot tub is definitely the cure for this disease. As soon as you get back to your apartment, you will probably pass out immediately. Because of this, it is a good idea to place your mattress right in your apartment entranceway, so you can just fall down right onto it. In fact, you should probably wear a snorkle while you are in the hot tub, because there is a good chance you will fall asleep while soaking.
- Crabbiness - I don't know about this personally, because I am perpetually in a state of bliss. However, I've heard that in a hot tub crabbiness melts away like so much butter. Just make sure that the filter is operational, or your crabiness residue will cling to other hot-tubbers like they are so much corn on the cob.

Tim –
I don’t have a comment about this entry in particular; it is more about the ‘blog’ as a whole. I’d like to see a revival of the “Ask Tim” forum. I have so many questions, yet so few answers.
You are surely aware of my aging condition and it is entirely possible that I may drop dead at any moment.. So, rather than waiting for the return of “Ask Tim”, I’m just going to go ahead and ask my question. What the heck is a ‘blog’. Back in my day (just after we stopped golfing the old fashioned way) the kids used ‘websites’ to express their thoughts. Take a look at an ol’ favorite of mine: http://millatime.homestead.com/home.html
This ‘website’ was created by the Omnivorous, well mostly Maruchen, Lutheran formally known as “T-Mills”. “Where have all the websites gone, long time ago…. and why have blogs taken over? Kids these days with their fancy shoes and crazy thoughts. To qote my favorite rap artist, the Fresh Prince, “parents just don’t understand..”
