I’m happy for you. However, I am all chapped from the cold, dry weather.... dry skin hurts, you know?!

LOL.

I know what you mean. I try everything from Aveno to more. Haven’t found something that works. Still a problem with that dry weather skin.

Yes, Dita, and hot showers plays havoc on my skin. I have a prescription cream that I use in the winter because dry skin gives me the winter itch as it is called! Drives me crazy!

Have you tried cortisone cream?
My hands I think made a noise like sandpaper when I rubbed them together last night..They felt like it too..I have been using some kitchen hand lotion to solve..My DIL gave it to me and I forget to use it..Going to go put some on right now!
My skin otherwise looks like a checkerboard in winter...Lotion is nice but does not cure. I have very thin,fair, dry skin inherited from both parents..especially my dad.

Hi everyone..... home tonight.. YIPPEE.. I do like to go, go, go but it is nice to be home. I have a couple computer projects to work on & overwhelming amount of home projects.. wont get a lot done but will be nice to piddle.

Meg... I do understand about the heating pad. I have two.. and at night I sometimes about crawl to my sleeping area & takes me a long time to find a half way comfortable way to rest. The HPs are on my back.. upper & lower. It does help & by morning I am better.. BUT if I just didn’t have to do anything.. after a couple hours of minimal housework pain is again back.

It is normally pretty sore already when I take the dogs out... the few times I am not doing housework & just computer projects, my back is so much better for doggie outings. I do believe if it were not for the dogs I would be in worse shape. I am regularly going out when I otherwise would be in more.

I am going to a black tie event New Years Eve & not sure what I will wear. maybe black. I have a few different choices but wear them so infrequenlty I need to try on to see what will work(fit) etc..

Still seeing a LOT of movies... I have two mega theaters w/in 5 miles of my home & lots of folks wanting company.. how can I refuse.

THe Great Debaters was the last I saw..HIGHLY recommend it.. true story & I love to pieces Denzel Washington.. So many other good ones.. different strokes for different folks.. Sweeny Todd was well done but will NOT be everyone’s cup of tea. Last year for Christmas eve I saw Nativity Story.

This year we saw a flick about a serial killer..
