Liquid Gold...

Corn Huskers Lotion by Johnson and Johnson. Do you know how much that crap is worth? Working in the horticulture industry, our hands are constantly getting wet, dry, dirty, wet, dry, dirty, etc... We need a good lotion for our cracked hands. When we moved to Iowa we were introduced to things we hadn't heard of before at the farm feed store. Udder cream for cows works wonders on my elbows and feet. Love that stuff. But for our hands, we like the Corn Huskers. So, imagine our horror when we found out a couple weeks ago it had been discontinued. I would have survived, but Shaun was distraught. We spent 2 hours driving to every store within 30 miles looking for that stuff. None to be found. So, I put out a request on facebook and our cousin came to the rescue!
Six bottles arrived from Utah. SIX! I guess they don't go through Corn Huskers like Iowans do. Ha ha ha! This stuff is currently selling for almost 12 bucks on E-bay with a day still left to bid (plus 5 bucks shipping)! That's freaking crazy. Most likely we will keep a couple bottles and sell the rest to the other growers at work who also swear by this stuff. We may have to have an auction though since so many will be fighting over it. Ha ha!

To prove how much Shaun loves this stuff... we had forgotten to get the mail on Saturday until almost 11pm. It was freezing cold (about -15) and I said that the lotion just may be out there because we were told it would arrive that day. Shaun decided to go out and get it which would NEVER happen if it were anything else. He's a goof... but a happy goof.
