Now tagless for your comfort.

It would be red and swollen if there was infection. I second sj's suggestion on a soak with epsom salt. I might also try lots of rinsing in hydrogen peroxide. I've gotten foreign matter to bubble to the surface that way, too.

I'd exhaust home remedies before going to the doctor. But I've cut all kinds of things out of my calloused feet before.

I want cookies. I'm out of read-to-bake dough and too lazy to make my own. But since I'm going to the grocery tonight, I'll have to remedy that situation.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I apply pressure by stepping down and I feel like a needle or other sharp thing is being driven into my toe.

Well, the glass is working its way out, so soaking should definitely help.

I once had a very large splinter come out three months after it went in to my thigh, and the sensation was similar to what you're describing.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Soaking in warm salt water. And then, when that doesn't work, the doctor.

AmyLiz, soaking will soften the callous. If the object is sharp, it should work its way out.

C'mon, Cash! Cookie dough takes ten minutes. Flour, sugar, butter, ta da!

Dear stomach:

I took quite a lot of time, energy, and care to make you a yummy lunch of no-mayo, no-sugar chicken salad with roasted red pepper vinagrette, coarse chopped olives, and shallot- don't bitch to ME that it isn't a meatball sub or burrito or some other carbtastic item. It's healthy, it's delicious, SO DEAL WITH IT. No, I will not buy you a candy bar. I don't care that it's cold and grey out.

Love, Nora

Because books.

All righty then. Will soak the toe when Sara's down for her nap. Fun!

Nora's Stomach:

You're being very ungrateful. That chicken sounds yummy.

No love,

AmyLiz

Hec, have you gotten a Salem package at your house yet? Just checking.

If you bring me this sandwich, I will buy you a meatball sub.
