My husband's ball scratching is driving me nuts.

So as to add something to this thread other than the usual unintended hijackery, I lucked out with my husband in that he doesn’t purposely walk around scratching his balls… however, at night, when he’s sound asleep, he… he sleep-ball-scratches. Loudly. And he goes to town, too. Sometimes it sounds to me like he’s really hurting himself… you know how if you get really itchy and scratch your arms or legs, and leave great, red welts on them, especially if they’re dry? He really digs at them… I keep thinking one of these days I’m going to wake up next to a fresh castrato…

Babies will do the same - well, maybe not due to itching, but “hey, here’s this thing, and when I mess with it, I can feel that, and it’s new and kinda nifty”. And it looks like they’re about to completely castrate themselves. I actually asked the pediatrician once “is he going to realize it hurts, in time to stop himself from actually INJURING himself?”. The ped’s answer was “not necessarily”. So I had to discourage the behavior somewhat.

Oh, and Anastaseon? Priceless!! (what thread was that SUPPOSED to go in??).

I joined in 2006 and thus missed this thread’s first run. Pure. Awesome.

Cafe Society thread, the one about “If money wasn’t an issue, what would you have for dinner?”
The last post in that thread when I went to make mine was someone talking about a mushroom pizza. I had mentioned upthread that money wasn’t so much an issue as my gallbladder is, but I can’t get it out until February. My big, juicy mushrooms are slathered all over a thick steak, you see.

I would link to it, but right now opening a second browser is going all wonky on me, and I don’t feel like doing it the slow way. I didn’t post my big juicy mushroom post over in that thread last night because frankly, I just felt jinxed.

As a man I have to say: you’re husband is friggin gross.

I was looking for other women who scratch for their husband. That’s how I came across this message board. I told my husband “I bet I’m the only wife who scratches their husbands balls”. I have yet to find anyone else like me. (I didn’t realize it was from 2005.)

Far from it, honey.

Basically any scratching south of the border needs to be followed up by hand-washing (WITH hot water and WITH soap); do we really need reminding about this?

Any time butt fleege and/or ball sweat is introduced to clean dishes is not a good thing.

You’re just jealous.

Why do women rub their eyes in the morning? Because they don’t have balls to scratch.

To be quite clear, they don’t have their own balls to scratch. They could, of course scratch the cods of the person beside them.

Ah, I could have used some mushrooms in my stir-fry tonight.

But if you are going to cross post accidentally you couldn’t have done it better

I have a feeling you could even make it into the SDMB in-jokes with your post.

Without zombie threads I would have NEVER known one member would get a sudden and uncontrollable urge for FAT and JUICY MUSHROOMS in the middle of a thread about some girl’s guy liking his balls scratched. By her.

Zombies gotta stay. There’s gold buried in them thar graveyards.

Heh. I obviously conflated story this with another. I’m not sure if you guys talk about balls too frequently or if it just says something about my choice in reading.

I must have read it when it was revived in March and I think I was in full-on giggles for 20 minutes or more. One of my favorite threads.

[Cat_Whisperer]

You can talk about balls too much?

[Curiosity_Kills_Her]

@Cat_Whisperer

I think that may depend on whose balls you are talking about. Tatum Channing? YES! Keep talking. Rush Limbaugh? Please, not so much.

[Cat_Whisperer]

Ah, good point.

Huh. That’s assuming we all have someone next to us when we wake up, **Cicero **

(best. zombie thread. ever. But I still don’t want mushrooms)

Huh?
Are you saying that your remark in that zombie-complaint thread in ATMB (quoted 6 posts above) was referring to a different thread than this one?

It’s your own fault if you don’t

There is a somewhat similar thread here.

There is a somewhat similar thread here.

There’s nothing about mushrooms over there, though.
