Aaaaah, winter. The time where no matter what I do, my hands almost always crack and bleed every year.

The gamble for me with lotions is, it'll either help my hands or make them worse, and sometimes the lotion that helped yesterday won't help me tomorrow.

A friend I was IMing on Skype with told me I should use Vaseline. I tried telling them Vaseline never worked and made my hands worse. However, due to Tue fact technology is so advanced and intelligent, it knew what I was trying to say better than I did, and it changed Vaseline to gasoline! *facepalm* I don't think I've made a worse typo in my life. But we got a pretty good laugh outta it.
Have you tried Eucerin/Aquaphor? It's like the best dry skin lotion ever.

I have, but never tried it...I'm ready to try anything right now. Gosh my hands literally feel like they're burning right now. :( Hope and pray I get some sleep. This is extremely painful.

Ow. I get that too sometimes. Try to wet your hands with water frequently and don't use hot water on them. Hot water will dry them out even more. I remember you said u like to use hot water when washing them. One thing you can do is put lotion on and then put some gloves on. Those surgical type gloves work good for that, but any gloves will do. Will pray for u, Lil. Goodnight.

I found some regular gloves (like what you would wear when you go out in the cold.) So I'll be off for the night soon, because touchscreens and gloves don't mix.

One thing I have to learn to do is to stop letting people sway me. I need to learn that I don't have to explain myself to try and prove my side and I need to realize I can't please everyone. I have to leave and get away from any trouble. Turn away and leave it until I'm lead to go back and correct things as God wants me to on his time.


I also can't let my mental state or the words I say define what I believe. I have to start doing through my actions to show my faith.

So in an effort to be more productive this week, I have enabled the parental controls on my fun computer (I have a work computer and a fun computer) so that it won't let me on before 11 AM. Hopefully that means I will be forced to get myself straight to work in the mornings without being distracted by all the other stuff I use a computer for. Sometimes you have to fence yourself in to make sure you stay on track.

There's someone else who had trouble with this.

So, I accidentally stumbled across what I want my wedding dress to be. It isn't advertised as a wedding dress, but I'd make it one. And it's only $40.

I'm not anywhere close to getting married, and no, I'm not obsessed with it, I just was looking online at some clothes and ran across it and realized I could make it work. Originally I thought "I don't want to spend more than $300 on a wedding dress" and now I've found a white dress that I like for $40. :cool:

Y u mad *sis* XD And I believe that needing to grow in the faith will help my anger. Plus a lack of sleep is not good for the moods.
Sorry that you are sick..blah.

I like winter, I do. Now that I pay my own electric bills, though...I like spring and fall best. :cool:

I feel like here in Missouri, it's been a very wet winter. Not even snowy, just damp and dreary, and constantly muddy. I actually like when it's super cold because then at least the ground is crunchy and I don't have to wipe off my dog's paws every time she comes in from outside.

One of the advantages of having my whole computer system on a flash drive is I don't have to take my computer to have my computer with me. Just take the flash drive and boot it on the computer where I'm going. Whatever computer I stick this flash drive in, it's automatically my computer.

And I can resume downloading whatever I was downloading without having to take the whole computer with me. ^.^
