Neuropathy is when the nerves become painful and inflamed and there is no known reason. Most of the time it occurs when people are diabetic, but I don't have diabetes. Mine is called peripheral neuropathy because it is just in my hands. It causes a burning pain and several of the ends of my fingers are numb. It flares up when I overuse my hands doing heavy things and I often cut my fingers and don't know it until I see them bleeding. I've had it for about 10 years, so it doesn't bother me as much as it did when it first began. I've gotten so accustomed to it. I wear gloves a lot to protect them.

WOW! I'm sorry to hear you have that Valentine. I suppose it could be worse. Praying for you.

LOL --> My husband would probably figure out a way to use plastic grocery bags or something thinking he was helping me out.

Or tell you to use the broom and dust pan.

^^ Doesn't that qualify as justifiable homicide? KIDDING, KIDDING -- don't want to get reported!!!!

Well I wouldn't use the broom and dustpan. I'd be sitting right in front of the TV or on the computer.

But that's an excuse NOT to clean when you run out of bags.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. We don't need our husbands finding out our secrets on housecleaning excuses

Sorry to hear that Valentine. It sounds awful.

Men will MacGuiver anything if given a chance. I think they enjoy it!

YES!!! She said she's baking a white cake with raspberry filling and white chocolate icing.

**oink**

Da cake is in da oven. I fired up my laptop only to discover that since its been disconnected for several days it had 8 milllion updates to do. I HATE IT when that happens.
My hands used to bother me a lot especially since I had to wear clunky metal braces all of the time, but after a couple/years the disease did not spread past my hands, so I was able to stop wearing the braces unless they hurt a lot (which is very rare anymore). I take B-12 shots every week and try to just not overwork them lifting heavy things. I learned that glass dishes are very breakable and broke more dishes and glasses in the first year than I had in my entire life before. I don't sweat it anymore -- I just keep a broom and dustpan handy.

for Rosey.

Well there went my diet
My sister just sent (after I asked ) the recipe for Seven Layer Bars

Ladies, your husbands are lucky. I do most of the housework, dusting and vacuuming. I actually bring home the bacon and fry it up in a pan

I was fixing my former chef's computer a couple weeks ago and I refused any cash payment so he paid me in bacon 10 lbs of it.

I enjoy cleaning. My wife does more family organizing, laundry and the kids needs.

Can someone get rid of / change my last set of numbers on my rep level :beg:

I'm praying for you! I have a connective tissue disease and I have all sorts of odd aches, pains, numbness, etc.

Just got home from WallyWorld where the Dyson was $378!!! My husband will never go for it at that price.

If I don't feel like cleaning, I don't need an excuse, I'll just flat out tell him I'm NOT cleaning. I get tired of cleaning it all the time by myself. I'm going to start sending him a bill.

I'm luckey I guess.

1) My wife hates it when I clean (totally different ways of cleaning between me & her )
2) She actually enjoys cleaning

I would love to have some help. I can count on one hand how many times he's cleaned the bathroom in any capacity after 18 years of marriage. I could still count if I only had 3 fingers on that one hand.

If I was a SAHM I could understand all the housework being left to me. But I work and it's getting pretty old to have to not only work but come home to cook and clean. I suppose I should be lucky he did any of the dishes when I was sick last week.

I wish that was genetic... and that I had those genes.

I always wonder about that - what males think? I stay at home, so I never expect my husband to come home and do housework & stuff that I can do here.
But ladies who work need HELP with that - & esp. when they have kids!

Maybe it's just a role model they have in their minds that it's "our job"?? I dunno. Sorry to hear that Two.
Make a little note of that in his Valentines Card.

Atta girl! lol

 

[pgp_protector]

Actually sending them a Bill is a great idea, you just need to present the bill in a unique way

Something along the lines of spa day, manacure / pedacure, a Dinner out for the two of you, ect.

 

[Ariel]

Finally, finally, finally I can rep

 

[Nadiine]

I have almost 2 more hours left.

I don't like Valentine's Day. I don't want anything for that day and he knows that. He honors my wishes about it for the most part. It's a waste of money IMHO.
