There is something so deliciously extravagant about my clawfoot bathtub. Every time I descend cautiously... slowly... decadently into the steaming, scented water, I imagine that I am delivering myself body, mind, and soul into the cavernous mouth of a porcelain beast.
Look at the silver nails on the extended claws of the metallic feet of the fabulous tub! Is it so hard to believe that I would be soaking my sorrows away in the mouth of a ceramic creature?
Do you suppose he is considering swallowing me whole? Or perhaps he is savoring the taste of my soaking skin - content to keep me company until my bath water runs cold.
When the bubbles have blown away, and the chill seeps deeply into my bones - it's time for me and my beast to part. Lifting the drain plug, I secretly wonder if he'll decide to keep me forever, slurping away my bathwater and gulping me down into his belly. I hop out of the tub, thankful that I'm safe! Until next bathtime....

I remember the sound of the water draining down the plug as a kid was scary indeed!!!
That wasn't water it was a suction monster from deep space trying to eat your toes
I have had these weird ideas go through my head when I was a kid
Not in a bath but when I had to close my eyes so Mum could shampoo my hair
And I'd imagine opening my eyes to peek and see that Mum was a creature of sorts....😂
Wait!! What?!! It's closing down? Wow!! That's the great news we were waiting for?
yes...
I will um....
refrain from commenting on how "great" that news is. LOLOL
but - it's ok. Man plans his way, but God directs his path.
What I see as a unplanned, unscheduled, "surprise detour" - has been known from the start by God as the BEST way to get me where I need to be.
and not just me. I'll just lead the way, 😘
I have thoughts like that about the toilet!
So why is Uptrennd closing down and will a bunch of trenndsetters be coming to Hive?
is this my Deb??? hehehe
and - I think there are some interesting things that are about to happen. Let's just wait and see 😁
No deb is my other half...im trying to get her to start posing again too, but not yet...andrea on the other hand has finally curcumed to my incesincessant goadings
hehehehehe oh ok!!!!
yes she told me that she was back hahaha
and i am - kinda sorta back too - but not officially.
i just really support other people mostly - and now i'm moving my Uptrennd posts here for their final home hehehe
tell Deb if me and Andy have to be here -she does too! LOL
Yes I keep telling her to start posting again!
Hey you, @dreemsteem, fancy meeting you here! Lovely to read your piece!
One of my best friends in Florida has both an outdoor shower, and a purple claw-footed bathtub, which are situated on a wood and brick deck in her lovely, jungle-like, and VERY private back yard.
I never took advantage, but a few years back she wrote a lovely poem, waxing poetic about her adventures in the purple footed bathtub, and it made me vaguely sorry that I hadn't.
I never had such imaginings about bathtubs as a kid, but as I got older, and the sister I shared a bedroom with and I both wanted more privacy, my parents moved me into what had been the family den, which had a wall of bookshelves separating it from our attached garage.
After a viewing of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds," I remember lying in bed awaiting the attacks from the flocks of birds that were certainly making their way through that wall, regardless of the absence of any noises that would certainly have been present if they were doing so.
Additionally, there was a large window overlooking the entry with our front door, but I don't ever recall being worried about that window, because I was so convinced that the birds would be coming in by way of the garage, and that wall of books.
Funny the things that occur to us as kids. Of course, I'm still a kid, so there's that. ;-)
Hahahhaaha
Yeah this was my first post on Uptrennd and I'm moving it over to preserve it. I wrote it a little over a year ago...going through my posts and stories are making me reminisce hehehe
Should be interesting to pull some stories off there and relive writing them! Well, at least they will have new life here hehehe
Hope you are doing well! I'm not sure how active I'll be here. I have a new project im working on that is going to demand so much of my time, but I hope I get to see people here too! Hehhee
Thank you for coming to say hi!!!! Really nice to see you Cori. 💕🥰
Yes...after soaking yourself in-depth, your sorrows and grief will be forgotten but to come back as real and changed being. After which you will be alone and all your beast and those who are chameleon around you will leave you for sure.
Welcome ma'am...this is @Agaga julius, you boy.... But known as @cool08.
Hehheehe hi!!!
This was my FIRST post on Uptrennd and I moved it here to preserve it.
I need to move a lot more hahahhaa
But just began with this one 😊
Things will get better. We all just need to stay focused on doing what's right.
I'm glad that you're here! I hope you find some communities that you love to engage with naturally and start to thrive in them!!! Hehehe
And of course, tell others where you are!!! So they can join you and support each other! :)
I am so encouraged to see this, let me do one about the bath and bathroom. Of course, it will come from Uptrennd! Great as usual!
Hahahaa sure bring it over!! :)
I never saw this one :) ... That tub doesn't look so scary!
Yeah this was the first thing I wrote on Uptrennd hahaha
It was before we met! Lol
I was just a Trenndian baby then...if only I could go back and make a few tweaks hehehhehe
What would you do different? I think your journey there was pretty awesome :) ...
I would sell at 2.5 cents, convert to ETH, protect my wallet better (making it unhackable lol) and leave the rest pretty much the same.hahahhahahahahaha
lol yeah, there are those little details!!!! Shall we get busy on building that time machine??? While we are at it, I will not sell my doge for under 40 sats!!! And I will hold every bit of Monkey Coin I can get my hands on at 10 sats!
I was scare of water as a kid and going to the bath was quite terrible but in due time, I overcame it.
It's painful that uptrennd is shutting down. I have been there as Ishmael Kelechi and now @mrenglish.
Hi Ishmael! :)
hehehehe
i used to be afraid of swimming in the pool because I thought sharks would come out of the drain and eat me hahahahaha
even if they were small drains LOL
Hehehehhe. That's what fear can do. It makes you see what does not exist like they exist.
"Griff says hi" @dreemsteem
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr go away! shoo! LOL
