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.

I'm gonna scrape that thing ALL OVER ME.

May I suggest there might be a few places to avoid??

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.

My bud happyfunpaul likes to tell this story about one time when he was talking to someone on the phone & they said to him "Hang on." & then yelled to someone else "Your elbows! It goes on your elbows!"

They were talking about heavy-duty skin cream, of course, to prevent situations just such as these, but Paul didn't make the connection. :)

Anyway, er, I like the Body Shop's body butter. Way more than rocks. For purposes of rubbing all over the body, I mean. For purposes of hiking on, or throwing at people, rocks are probably better.

After your use that, put Udder Cream all over the area which you did and you will feel like you have died and gone to heaven. You will be so soft and smooth that you will not have to use the stone again for along time.
