I often rub butter all over my hands if they're feeling dry or hard or crackly. Of course, I wash them shortly thereafter, but it really seems to help.
Hey Trent:
Thanks for the tip!
I will try this.
Take care & Best wishes,

Okay, here's a really strange use for butter. This tip is for cat owners. Next time you move, butter your cat's paws before you let it outside for the first time at your new residence. Instead of darting out the door in a panic, the cat will sit down to lick the butter, which gives it a little time to become aware of its surroundings. We've used this trick in our family for years, and we've yet to lose a cat!
Thanks! I appreciate the tip.
It's unusual, for sure! Reader's Digest also had a tip about butter and cats! : )
Thanks for stopping by!
this one is for people with small kids - if they're prone to bumping into things or falling down..rub some cold butter and they won't get a bruise (works very well on cheeks and forehead)..
