Nice work, Chaco!

Sorry I’m so late to the game (Clarice prompted me).

You should have email alerts so I can join the fun at the outset.

Regards

Thanks, folks, again. I actually got the special bandages Clarice recommended, and they help a lot. It helps that I have the world’s highest pain threshold. Of course, that also doesn’t help, because I was saying “Oh, my feet hurt. Okay.” when I should have been doing something.

Besides, it was interesting.

I never thought my feet would become a topic in a national news site.

industries still bailing for China,

I know how to fix that. The Obama plan to raise taxes on business and on capital gains.

In the Rangers, we found that 100MPH/UGT (ugly green tape) swathed liberally over bloody blistered areas was quite helpful.

The closest civvie equivalent is duct tape.

And, for the love of all that is holy, ditch the Doc Mtns. The newer ones are made in China crap. Get you and your poor dogs to the nearest Redwing dealer and treat yourself to some quality, comfortable footgear made in the USA. Your dogs have earned it. Also, quality socks, preferably thin wool socks with a cushion bottom.

Topical anesthetics with anti-bacterial properties slathered over the bloody blisters can also help. But, make sure that at night, your feet get a chance to dry out. Wash them up good & rigorously with soap, water, & a washcloth. After you are finished screaming, prop them up for the evening.

Good luck.

Thanks for your reports, and I”m sorry you got such bad blisters. It won’t help too much now, but in the future I highly recommend moleskin (Dr. Scholl’s) to protect sore spots before they develop into bad blisters.

Obama supporters keep chanting the mantra that Barack Obama
is the candidate who can unite our country … but, Obama couldn’t
even unite his own party … even after winning the nomination. And,
in reality, McCain has the history of working across the isle in congress.
Obama has brainwashed his followers into operatIing on ‘belief’, rather
than reason … just as he learned in Jeremiah Wright’s church … the power of BLIND faith.
Even his campaign solgan is based on belief, not common sense, logic,
or reason. Obama’s even got his followers publicly denouncing the importance
of experience … as if that’s the reason Bush performed poorly … when the
real reason Obama and his followers denounce experience is because
Obama doesn’t have any.
Keep America Strong … Elect Senator John McCain in November !!
