Ok, not exactly an RV topic, but this is general discussion, right? I grew up in the Midwest, nice cold winters, and I happen to love snow and cold weather. Call me a weirdo, but it is what it is. And my jobs all my life have been in chemical plants, which means a lot of outside time in cold weather trying to keep the places running. No complaints from me, except in cold weather the ends of my thumbs and fingers get dry and crack and is very painful, like a paper cut. I hadn?t been on my last job very long and It had turned cold and I came in the control room and was commenting to my crew how my fingers hurt from the cracking of my skin. They said yeah, we hav some superglue in our shift drawer you can use. I thought they were just kidding their new supervisor, but they convince me because my fingers hurt pretty bad. They put a couple drops on the cracks in my fingers (with the warning to not touch my eyes or anything else until it dried). The pain instantly went away, and the cracks healed within a couple days. All the years I endured this problem, and such an easy fix!! It really works. I have been messing with firewood and just had to ?fix? myself for the first time this season and thought I would pass it along to my cold weather friends on here. Maybe it?s common knowledge, but I was in my mid fifties before I heard about it. Long term health affects? Dunno. I?m almost 63 and not gonna worry about it. ?
