pumice stone

[cjsmith]

Just before my trip I purchased one of those scratchy stones people use to scrape at calluses and suchlike. After I got back I peeled off the silly packaging (honestly, these people needed to shrink-wrap a rock?) and used it on my extra-crunchy left elbow.

I was impressed. There was a lot of stuff it managed to remove from that elbow! My most effective previous attempt had left the elbow bleeding for several days. This just dug on through all the crunchy stuff and left the area smooth and soft.

I think tomorrow morning I'm gonna scrape that thing ALL OVER ME. We'll see what happens. I bet I lose a pound or two. Bwa ha haaaa.

My mom used to use one of those on her feet, which had much similarity to moose hooves. (She'd laugh at that comparison, not be offended.) I'd forgotten about them.

Actually, I think she used a real chunk of whole pumice. Knowing mom, she probably brought it home from the "wild."

I'd forgotten about that, but have had chunks for my feet more recently. I want one for my callousy elbow now. Oooh.

Maybe you can snag one from the "wild" for yourself, if there's any wild left. I sympathize with your mom about the feet. My feet are pretty solid too, so maybe I'll spend a long soak going at 'em with this rock.
