Why do I like Amazon.com?

For purely selfish reasons. My cat needs a place to sleep. Well...of course I can't download the photo!! What else is new!! Maybe later.

Husband bought some Icy Hot for his back. He saw a commercial which claimed amazing results for the elimination of back pain if you used this amazing product. Yes. I know it's been on the market for a while...but he decided he must have some. Here's what he conveniently forgot! He can't rub it on his back! No shit! So...I, amazing wife that I am...rubbed this stinking stuff on his back. Here is the process...

(I squeeze amazing Icy Hot onto my fingertips...)

"Are you ready?" I ask.

Husband is lying on his stomach waiting with baited breath for the miracle application.

"Go ahead!"

I apply.

"Holy shit! That stuff is freezing!!" He flinches and arches his back like a Halloween cat.

"Duh!! What's it called.? ICY HOT!! The hot comes later." Another amazing moment for me.

"Damn it! Well...as long as it works...I hope. Keep rubbing it in."

Yeah. Yeah.

"What's that smell? It smells like Ben Gay. I thought it wasn't supposed to have any smell! I hate the smell of Ben Gay. Can you smell it? Doesn't it smell like Ben Gay? Shit...it smells like Ben Gay to me!"

"Yup."

"Well I sure hope it works. Damn I hate that smell. I thought it wasn't supposed to smell. Does it say on the package that it smells like Ben Gay? Can you see anything where it says that?"

"Nope."

OK. My rubbing is done.

"OK. Does it feel any better?" I ask with concern. I need to get out of here. The overwhelming smell of Ben Gay is really getting to me.

"Well, it feels a little better. I'm sure it can't hurt at least trying it. What do you think?"

"I think if anything makes you feel better...it's worth trying. I hate to leave but I need to go to work. Plus...I'm dying in here."

"It does smell like Ben Gay, doesn't it! I knew it! And they supposedly have a spray on one..."

"And you made me rub this crap on your back? It doesn't even make my hands feel better! They just stink and I have washed them 3 times with Dawn!!"

"They didn't have any of the spray on stuff...but if I see it...I think I'll try it."

"Sounds good...see you later."

Can you imagine? If the cream felt cold...how the spray would feel! Like getting sprayed with a fire extinguisher!!

I'll find some and let you know.

ps. Husband did say it felt a little better.
