My anecdote (a Randydote): More than a decade ago, I bestowed upon my beloved the surprise gift of a couple’s massage. I had been getting massages for years and had often invited her along, she always declined. She was even prepared to also decline the gift, but when she found out that I had paid in advance and that it was non-transferable, non-refundable, she accepted, yet reluctantly so. I still had to drag her there as if it was her execution day. Before, during and after the massage, she practically hated everything about it. She whined, moaned and complained so much that she just about guaranteed that it would be a bad experience, and that’s exactly what happened. In the ensuing years, she has had a few massages from people recommended to her by her coworkers or aunt or cousin. She’s in a profession wherein back, neck, shoulder, leg and foot pain are quite common, so in acquiescence, she went with those other women to check out those massages. She has only moderately enjoyed them, however, and is not a fan of them the way I am. Other than the massage itself, she balks at the cost, too. So, it’s not an automatic nor immediate fix-all completely across the boar to give one’s wife the gift of massage.
How about a hamburger bun massage? I can use the meat juice for oil, and the bun and seeds would serve as an interesting scrub while working the tender spots.
Very creative with your meat usage and bun availability. The ever-forgotten buns. That is a massage, not meant sexually, to feel really good. Those muscles are usually forgotten when non-professionals give their mates a massage.
(Sigh.) Folks, I signed up for this love affair, so I'm in for a penny and in for a pound. I'll do whatever it takes to make my Baby's day, because in turn she does whatever it takes to make my night. (Wink, WINK!)
No don't need those. Just being home is enough. Has been for years. I do the cooking and the garden is mine so I am very capable of providing the others. But I seldom do cuttings or have cut flowers inside. They have a natural habitat which I respect.
