Where to heck did this come from? I Loved the picture with "I wish".

"I might just come back tomorrow. Yeah...not really." That pretty much sums it up.

Great job of conveying the cringe factor here, Sharron. Different cultures, different customs I guess.

That would be a resounding "um, no" from me as well. Delightful, Sharron!

LOL, and ouchie! Such a great story!

Mum told me about a trip to Turkey in which she and some of her friends submitted to a Turkish bath. I gather it was way more *robust* a process than any of them had envisaged... and she told me she arrived home 'pounds lighter, from all those decades of dirt they seemed to have been so keen to scrape off'! 😆

I felt highly uncomfortable for you from start to finish! You are braver than most of us! Your storytelling here is stellar, and the description of the scene really...burned it into my mind. 😄
