    There is a product called "Zim's Crack Cream" (I kid you not - that's really the name - and used to get a lot of laughs where I worked) - it was developed by a pharmacist originally for use by cement workers.

    Some people swear by it, but it really did nothing exceptional for me, and I think I've tried about all the remedies. Hot paraffin wax feels good, but isn't very long lasting IMO. I'll stick with the Gold Bond until I find something that works better.

    Better, thanks for asking!

    I have done the Vaseline thing and it's made them softer. I have an ancient jar that I remembered having.

    I am going to Target tomorrow to see what they have.

    I slept sans socks last night for the first time in a while, that was strange!

    I found out something interesting about sleeping with socks on.

    I woulld wake up with my feet jammed into the toes of my socks.

    I buy the 6-8 packs of 'heel-toe' socks from Target- So, I decided to try tube socks in the super giant size?

    Much much better! more room and the length keeps my calves warm!
