Foot rubbs

Another thing i learnt from yesterday but forgot to include:

Tips on giving foot rubs.
1) Use lavender oil - it relaxes the person
2) add a drop of tea tree oil - gets rid of tinea
3) covering the foot in liquid paraffin is also a good idea, gets rid of bunions and scaly bits and stuff.
4) liquid paraffin is not just melted lamp wax, apparently.

hrm.. must see if this radio show has a website... *search search* well it doesn't really, but its local ABC station 702 AM, and its called "Spotless", previously known as Spiders and Lemons (?) and the woman who knows Everything is called Shannon Lush. If i'm not wrong, she's some sort of fine art restorer, and for half an hour or so, answers questions from listeners on how to fix clothes, household items, etc, that have been damaged. It's quite fun to listen in, not only do you get expert advice on all manner of stain removal, its also highly entertaining when listeners call in, all nervous and cowering... "i know i shouldn't have done this.. it was very foolish i know.. but now that its all a mess, is there any way i can possibly fix it?" and then Shannon sighs, and in her drawly superior tone gives them their miraculous solution all the while imparting the sensation that this is really terribly beneath her but because she has nothing better to do this afternoon she might as well sprinkle some divine wisdom onto the mere mortals of this earth.

She's sooo coooooool!

:P
