Trivial Irrelevant Aggravations

Thanks for the suggestions. I may have to try the horse urine idea, Fishprof! :)

I just want to know who the first person was to try it.

Hint:  In this case Fresh isn't better.

I suspect the first to try it, was just walking in it.  (As a foot balm, not a lip ointment)

I hope you all know that I was kidding about the horse urine comment. ;)

"Wow. Look how nice my left foot looks compared to my right foot!"

It's the same principle as urea cream (which really helps on cracked heels, by the way).

Forumites, it's TMI. I've been visualizing some of you, containers in hand, appropriately positioned behind a horse, waiting for you-know-what.

For the bodily by-product under discussion, I'm thinking you'll want to be under the horse...

Behind it will get you something else...

Just to be anatomically accurate...

Another addition to the dry skin remedies (though those with eczema might want to check--I seem to remember reading that this can make the eczema worse:  diaper cream with vitamins A & D ("A&D Ointment" for the brand name, but the cheap no-brand stuff from Aldi's or the dollar store also works).  It's the only thing that has any effect on my dry feet since I've had diabetes. 

The only problem with the A&D is that it reeks, and it might stain clothes.  I always have ALHS save the slipper socks he gets from any hospital procedure; after I slather my feet with the ointment, I put on an old pair of thick white socks, and then the heavy slipper socks over those, and go to bed.  By morning, it's amazing how soft the skin is. (I launder the socks in hot water and OxyWhite, but it does still stain the white socks, so be aware before using.)

Various small insects are trying to get into our house to stay for the winter--spiders, moths, and such. We've had to put those glue boards around the kitchen, living room, and entrances.

Went shopping with a friend yesterday. While we were waiting in line, there was a kid nearby standing with his mother (at least I assume that's who she was) and playing some game or other on his phone. It kept making noises of varying lengths and at random intervals that sounded just like an electronic version of a cat screaming bloody murder! It was really loud, too. It was a long wait, and crazy cat lady that I am, I couldn't stand to keep hearing this over and over. Luckily, soon after I quietly told my friend I had to get away from the noise, the kid's mom pulled him out of the store. I have no idea what the game was, but I hope I never hear it again.

All of my Allen wrenches are missing, and I need one to remove a metal support on a table loom I just brought down from the attic. I know I didn't throw them away, but where did they go?

Hmm...

Any kids with Ikea stuff, or BOSE tweeters, ot a motorcycle that might have borrowed them...??

Since the dawn of time, some human artifacts, most notable socks and Allen wrenches, have been known to disappear as if into the ether....

We wave the makings of a student paper here.

The pre-sliced bagels I bought the other day are not sliced evenly, so one side gets over-toasted and the other side under-toasted, dang it!

My vegetable box always gives too many potatoes. I can't eat that many potatoes, Bellfield farms!
