Oh my goodness, I need to get on the ball with Doug Kaufmann, since you suggested him before I've been so intrigued....I must accomplish that! And I will definitely look into those suggestions

I think this is exactly what I'm gonna do, gosh my skin gets pretty darned dry already, I can't imagine how much dryer it can get...that must be uncomfortable....lot's of great suggestions I thought I had heard them all.....
and....you're right, it's always dry over here, however....it does get cool. So maybe I will postpone until winter and that might give me time to see if it heals up!
Thanks everyone! (I love this site)
