The Latest Indignity: I took a bath
How many ways is this disease gonna find to undermine my masculinity? Women take baths. Men take showers. This is a hard-and-fast rule of sex role definition. Last time I took a bath was about 20 years ago after I fell off a horse and got a bruise the size of a rib-steak on my arse. My wife finally convinced me to take a hot bath. I grabbed a 6-pack and did it. But it felt weird. So now I am battling mega-rash and running out of ideas. My wife says, "why don't you have a bath with these special salt things?". (You know how they pronounce "baaaw-th"... it comes out like with a british accent or something.) I did it. You just lay there. There's nothing to do. OK, it's a bit amusing when those bubbles come out of nowhere, but basically the experience is useless. Where does it all end on this whole masculinity thing? Is it gonna be me and Capnhardass and Russ (maybe call Marty over) sitting on a couch watching Sleepless in Seattle? Passing the kleenex box around? Sipping little drinks with umbrellas? I'm telling you... it's outta control. Good luck out ther boys and girls. Or should I just say girls? J

LOL at the \'visual\' - and the look on your face is priceless!
I guess if the gals can learn to deal with the balding, the guys will survive a bath or 2! LOL
Gotta laff, maybe a group tub bath in dead sea salts.
LOL!! Too funny!!! Try Grandma\'s Lye Soap for the skin rash. John (TulsaJunior) started using it a couple of months ago and it works miracles. I know for sure you can get it in the country store of cracker barrel but I think you can also get at some small drug stores.
To be honest, I don\'t know any men that take baths! I love them, but you have to be in the right mind set (maybe a womans mind set) or it is boring. Love the british accent LOL!!! You should give it another try! Music, very important with a bath.
Baahahahahaha...that\'s a great journal entry Jack. Bubbles, bubbles everywhere...lol.
So, when you, Marty, Cap and Russ get together for your feminine side stuff, please don\'t take a bath together...lol.
By the way...all kidding aside about the bath stuff. Add some Aveeno oatmeal powder to your soaking bath...it helps the itch/rash. It comes in box with about 6 individual packets that you empty into the bath water. Not pretty stuff but it gets the job done.
Hell.............I say get the \"boys\" together and you all get in that tub together...........get ya some rubber duckies and have a ball:):) Please be sure to get some pictures for the rest of us:):)
A true Kodak moment:):)
Thank god the movie isn\'t brokeback mountain....... LMAO
Marty...you are brave talking about Brokeback Mountain with THAT costume on...baaahahahaha
Help ! Another thread gone completely outta control ! How did we end up in a group bath with Brokeback Mountain playing? Kodak moment, eh?
Please no pictures!!! :)
fertile imaginations
just one word....CANDLES!!
