When was the last time you had your back scratched? By someone who knows HOW? You hve to pay for that one.

I'm just like you.  I hate being dependent on anything if I can do it myself.  I cut my own hair too.  I hate that appointment idea.  Never-ending drudgery.

I get it.

Other than from me, I haven't had any back scratches in a long time. I refuse to ask me wife.

This is why I never got married. I never got the idea of how to navigate after the glitter fades.

I thought it was all moonlight and romance and ?   So, if my "husband" would not scratch my back?  I would have been crushed.  LOL I never had a relationship last longer than a decade. so I am not an expert at all.  Love is a life-long relationship.  Long haul and that counts for A LOT.

I honor that and I honor your marriage.  It is normal.  You should see the people I massage.  They love their spouses and the spouse just DOES NOT LIKE DOING THAT.  So there is that idea too.  

I will scratch her back any time she wants, but she must ask.

I used to cut my own hair. not so much because of the appointment but because I would pay a lot of money and come home saying, "Oh, well, it will grow," or take out my scissors and even it out.  Then I went to the hairdresser in PA that my sister goes to and it's a whole new world.  She charges $16 (seniors 60+) and I'm always happy.  

I have terrible luck with those.

The itch is always where I have to extend the handle ... and then it collapses after one scratch ... so I have to extend it, scratch, extend it, scratch, etc.

And when I find one long enough without telescoping ... I swear somebody steals them.  Somewhere, there's a gnome with a collection of back scratchers stolen from me. 

When I get an itch in that location, it's easier for me to use a doorway - like a bear using a tree.  lol

Let me think.  I am good at this stuff. Get a loofah?  The  ones that go acroos the back and have two handles?  

Try that?

Not the one that I bought.  It's made of metal an the telescoping is tight so once you open it to where you need it, it stays there.  My niece bought me a wooden one, but the tines aren't sharp enough to actually scratch the itch.  The one I bought was from Amazon.  You'd like it.

I have a bamboo one that is long enough to go to the bottom of my back.
