Here's a true story. Feel free to laugh at me...we did.
While in California this past week, my husband and I spent a couple of days visiting the area in the Central Valley where we met and lived for the first 8 years of our marriage before moving to Tennessee.
While on Hwy. 99 heading North toward Modesto on our way to San Francisco, I began experiencing something that I had only read about on these boards. I began to feel like I was on fire "down south".
I rode along for awhile without saying anything to my husband while the fire grew in intensity as the miles ticked off. I started squirming around in the car trying to get comfortable. Nothing helped...there was no getting comfortable, in any position. Things were way too hot. :rolleyes:
When we finally passed a sign reading "Rest Area 2 miles", I thought I would jump for joy.:dance: I told my husband that I NEEDED to stop. As always, he said, "No problem" and headed into the Rest Area. I was able to pee...alot, but that did not help with the burning sensation.
That was when I remembered :idea: a post from someone who, finding herself in exactly the same situation as I was in, used a bottle of cold water between her legs to cool things down. I told my husband that I needed to buy a cold can of soda from one of the machines, not to drink, but to put between my legs. The look on his face was priceless. I then explained that I had never before felt this particular symptom but, while in the bathroom, remembered that post and thought that the cold can might help. We both started to laugh and, of course, the jokes began about being on fire between the legs, but not a good kind of fire. ;)
As soon as I got back into the car, the cold can was put in position and...IT WORKED!!!!! Ahh...what a relief. :woohoo:
So...to whomever it was who posted this terrific "hint"...I say a very hardy and greatful...THANK YOU. :kissing: :lmao:
