I might end up having to, but honestly I am not looking forward to it. I

also tried the washing-mills, the dont work very well. They are too small

for a family and if they were bigger they would be too heavy.

One person wash is no big deal, but having a family with small children is

a different matter. However I enjoyed reading your comment.

Do you have children Samba Prabhu?

If not maybe you could ask your mother in law, what she did when she had

small children not yeat able to keep themselves clean(Dont know exactly how

to express this in english, hope you understand). Maybe they simply go

without pants because it is so warm in your place?

I have seen on pictures from China that small children just have a hole in

their trousers. But that would not be possible here during wintertime.

How did the American Indians solve that, anyone know? Not to speak of the

vedic way?

 

Living as simple as possible is very satisfying I fully agree with you on

that. The more complex our lifes the more mental problems.

Good advice but what about the smell
