The Miracle of Bag Balm

O.K. since everyone is suffering from a cold snap … I figure I’ll tell you about Bag Balm … the best stuff EVER for dry, chapped skin. Forget Fisherman’s Friend or what ever the hell that stuff is called. Useless crap. Bag Balm is the thing (so named because it was designed for use on cow udders to prevent chapping from winter milking). So it doesn’t smell the greatest (if you can give me ONE good reason cow udders should smell like lilac I’ll give you $5) … but you can mix it with a few drops of your favorite oil based scent if the smell really bothers you … and it keeps your skin soft and heals cracks from the insidious combination of cold, dry air and warm, moist flesh. It is cheap as all hell and one green can of it will last FOREVER if it is used only on humans. Your puppy or kitty suffering from cracked pads from walking on winter ice? Slather those paws with Bag Balm. Your little one suffering from a chapped nose due to those incessant winter nose runs? Coat you baby in Bag Balm. You can get it at farm Co-ops or those of you trapped in cities where the odds of finding a feed store is slim (like Ms. Havlin) can go here to order direct.

Yeah, I like Bag Balm.
And I am feeling much better!
