    I want the feeling in my toes to come back- it's been like 13 hours. ..Poor poor toes.

    If anyone could send some magik warming powers this way before I have to go back outside for work tonight it would be much appreciated.

    And on another note...what are all you guys up to today>?

    dangle 'em over a heat register
    or soak them in the hottest water you can stand (baths tend to warm up your core body temperature really well, much moreso than showers)

    socks don't really generate heat though, they just hold in heat created by your feet. If your feet are already cold and not generating sufficient heat, socks don't help a ton. I mean, a little, but... surrounding your feet with something warmer than your skin temperature is the best bet

    half of my big toe on my right foot is numb, has been since, hmmm, grade 12 I think. So about 4 years. Whee! Doctor suspects it's a pinched nerve and nothing to worry about, it's just an odd thing.

    wow, so many people who can't feel their big toes. almost like a club. I feel much better about this whole ordeal now.

    I was thinking about something while walking in the snow today. when I start to freeze up it's always my big toe and littlest finger to freeze first. I wonder why it's not the thumb and big toe, or the pinky finger and toe. it makes no sence to me.

    Anyway, I think if it changes colour I will go to the doctor. it seems ok now, just numb.
