I stopped by my local drug store today for some foot cream. A while back, I had a real problem with cracked skin on my foot so I have a prescription. When I went to pick it up I had to sign for it. I said to the kid behind the counter "I thought you only had to sign for the good stuff. Foot cream has no street value, y'know." He kind of made a couple of excuses, and I wouldn't let him off the hook until he admitted that they make every one sign for everything because sometimes seniors forget that they picked up their stuff and the store needs proof. I had made him squirm. I was satisfied.
Then I went to see if maybe there was a razor that appealed to me and I saw this.....
A battery operated razor. Now I can't imagne what a battery could do for a razor except make it vibrate, and I know that if for some reason I don't have a steady hand, just about the last thing I am going to do is pop in a fresh blade and go at myself with it. No, Ma'am, I am not shaving that way, uh uh. I could make some tasteless bikini area jokes here, but I am thinking you got the jist of it.
On my way out I walked through the halloween aisle, and not being able to decorate for x-mas (Chanukah decorations just don't compare) I have to overcompensate with halloween decorations. Yes, this family does halloween in a big way, decorations, costumes, and best of all full-size candy bars. If you come late enough, you get two. We so want to be loved, and not toilet papered. Since we are also the motion/sound activated decoration type, I am always on the lookout for more. The kids just love the scary noises. There I was just kinda purusing the aisle and what do you know? ......Well, you can imagine the wheels in my head spinning when I saw this.....
Yes, it is true. Chap Stick thinks we should give out some Chap Stick for halloween. I thought I would buy a bunch just to see the faces on the kids before I took it back and offered up the real deal but, alas, upon further inspection I discovered that the Chap Stick packaging was just regular old Chap Stick. Now, that is no fun!! Had they stuck a ghoul or ghost on the picture, I would have been all over it. Hahaha. Can you imagine getting Chap Stick in your treat bag???
I think the name on the razor says it all...maybe its for multi-taskers, shave and have a big O all at the same time!
I know you were staying away from the cheap jokes but I took no such vow!

Don't know if you have good Rx coverage, I don't. My Dr. recommended OTC Lamisil cream. Seems research suggests that the cracks and fissures many women suffer with is a form of athlete's foot. Now they make a Lamisil for Women. I bought the generic drug store brand, works just as well.

I think Amanda might be right, the husband has had AF forever, so it was only a matter of time. I am going to try that route.
Thanks for the tip!!
