My husband and I were walking through the mall this weekend and I can’t express enough how much of a chore that is for my husband. He will spend hours at places like Cabela’s but when it comes to the mall and shopping … let’s just say there’s nothing like shopping with Oscar the Grouch.
After a few hours of shopping, we passed a manicure/pedicure shop and this was our conversation …
Me: I think I might get a pedicure before vacation and have a fish painted on my big toe.
Oscar: For what?
Me: Because it’s cute.
Oscar: Why have someone do something for you when you can do it yourself?
Me: I know but there’s nothing like sitting in a massage chair having someone massage and tend to your feet. I think you should come with. It feels really good. You’ll really like it.
And with that, my husband turned and looked at me with a serious face…
Oscar: All you have to do is scrub your damn feet.
And I couldn’t stop laughing. And I laughed some more. And I’m still laughing.
So I ask my male readers – would you get a pedicure? Feel free to answer anonymously.
Have a good day all … and I refuse to massage his feet until they are scrubbed by a damn professional.

I would rather fish barefoot at the brickyard. Besides…Im tooo tickelish
As for My Hunny, she cant get her mind around somone touching her feet, she doesnt like going barefoot in the house. lol
I’m going to have to pass, Jody. I don’t want anyone touching my feet.
Ummmm…no! I like to keep my ruggedness in tact…I hate lotions and stuff lie that…I might go for a massage…but that’s about it…now the wife, on the other hand, just started getting pedis and loves them. She had one done before the cruise… a little fish would be cool though…hahaha…
Oh Jody how funny! Don won’t let anyone touch his feet…he is too sensitive there he says! I have been doing my own nails & toes for well over 35 yrs! I took cosmetology in school and loved it! If you lived near by I would do your nails & toes! I am very good too…you would love it! And I dare say I could probably get Mark to let me SCRUB his feet! ROF!
lol… Jody.. I am not a boy, but I have to confess the first ever pedicure I got was at Team Huntress last year.. It was kind of a pure pressure thing.. I won’t say “who” (but her name starts with Kirstie) and I laughed about them needing a face grinder to fix our feet.. calluses keep my feet from getting blisters (again) I have worked outside for most of my life.. So I need my feet to be tough.. Can’t recall the last time (maybe high school) that I painted my toe nails.. But I just might have to try that this summer (and I will let you know Hawk’s reaction when he notices..lol)
A foot massage – reflexology – is one of the finer pleasures in life. As long as the masssage is included – I couldn’t care LESS what else anyone does to my feet / toes.
Talk about setting yourself up for comments! Oh well – bring ‘em on.

Well, Tom Reutebuch mentioned on Twitter that I might NEED one. Let me just say that my feet are fine, thank you very much, minus someone rubbing and chopping my nails, slathering lotion, and all in all having a party with my tootsies.
I have a very good nail clipping thingamajiggy at home that does an acceptable job, my wife is grateful for this so I don’t scratch her with my toe nails, does this count as a “pedi”, I sure hope so!
I have to say I used to be against it, but heck I’d get one to appease the wife. I have to say a good foot massage is great, but I’d get a pedicure if it’d make the wife happy. I’d try just about anything once… within reason.
Jody, you and I have a lot of likes to share. This isn’t one of them for me. A little Rainbow trout on your toe would be eye catching though!
Heck. Frickin’. No.
I enjoy a nice haircut, and I’d get a back massage (if somebody gave me a free coupon), and one time some girl at a mall kiosk demonstrated a head massager thingy on me. But no pedicures. If, for some reason, I needed to have something painted on my big toe, it would probably be a trout (a brown, not a rainbow)
If someone messes with my feet they can expect to have a flat spot on the side of their head. I think I may be a bit touchy. First time Sue ran her hand up the back of my neck was 37 years ago – last time too. Certain things set off all kinds of reactions – and they’re not all good.
Nope. I would not do it. I won’t even let my wife trim my toe nails so no way am i letting a stranger mess with my feet.
