I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

SPA RESORT CASINO • SPA

...maybe a fancy schmancy enema???

Bwah ha ha!! :redface:

I believe it is an olden-day term for simply "sitting in fancy water"... if they call it that, they can charge more? Olden-day folk would "take the waters" for health & cleansing.

In his book Taking the Waters Alev Lytle Croutier writes, “Taking the waters was a means of unleashing creative urges for painters, writers and composers. The potent fountains became projections of health, beauty, and prosperity, but more than anything, sex.” The very word “spa” is the acronym from the Roman “Sanitas Per Aquas,” meaning health through water. That’s why, even today, many say you really can’t have a spa without water.

However, “taking the waters,” in most modern American spas cannot depend on the near mystical quality of the water itself, as it does in Vichy or Baden-Baden. Most modern spa wet rooms use water straight from the tap. The challenge for the spa developer then becomes how to honor the unspoken promise of healing spa waters some other way.

Hey, watching DWTS. Not sure who I want to win.

Did really good on my eating till I got home from work. I popped up some popcorn. It was Lite popcorn but I added some melted butter to it. Oh my.

Busy day ahead of me tomorrow. I work in the morning than have to go drop payroll off at the south store. I have a Doc appointment with the Kidney Doc and than I have to go get graduation cards. I'm hoping to get some plants still. than our shift at the hospital.

Pammie, incase I haven't said it before. I am so proud of you. I am in awe of you also. Congratulations

No, I couldn't get in the %*#!# healing waters because my devil child is a $%*#! #*%$@*!!!!! He's not even living here anymore and STILL is a pain in the $@#&*!!!!
