Fish that feed on dead skin cells are a nice spa treatment
Garra Rufa, a type of small tropical fish, also nicknamed Chinchin Yu, nibble fish or simply doctor fish, are put in hot springs. As they can live and swim freely in at least 43-degree-hot waters, they are naturally used for the treatment of skin diseases in such spas. When placed in the spa, these fish can feed themselves on the dead cells of the human body, since they only consume such cells, leaving the healthy skin of the human body to grow. The whole process is reportedly free of pain. It won't hurt and the bather might feel a pleasant tingling on his or her skin.
That sounds sort of awesome.
My biggest fear is that it would tickle....
Matilda has started saying "Mum-mum-mum" and, even though I know rationally that it's just a sound, I remain thoroughly and utterly slain.
Oh, this is just so damned adorable!!!!
So it wouldn't count as shirking off at work if I went out to run some personal errands AND stopped to get my work mail from the UPS store at the same time, right? Because I have to get that mail anyway, and I need to get ice and napkins for my book club party tonight.

Go with it, there's no need to be completely rational about your baby. It sounds very cute.
There's a spot on my back that fish like to nibble. This is extremely offputting.
Ahrg. Always the same person, too.
We could send this person anonymous emails pointing out their foolish behavior.
I loved all of my weddings, JZ. Had a blast each time. If Brendon wasn't such a keeper I'd do it again. Maybe for our 25th I'll do it again.
I really am looking forward to the blue wedding pictures.
Makes plans to never go to work with shrift, or ride public transportation with her. Will happily slounge with her any time.
eta: can't type.
Also, fish nibbling my feet in the ocean drives me to shore. Yuck!
I don't like fish touching me.
Unless they are dead and prepared in some kind of appetizing way, like sushified, and they are touching my mouth.
I would love to get in a spa with doctor fish! I don't have a skin problem, but I'd like to know what it feels like to be nibbled by tiny fish.
I am a little weird.
Once a fish was nibbling my toes. This disturbed me, because at the time I was skinny dipping and I started worrying about other places it might nibble....
