I still don't know what makes my feet get cold. Some times, like right now
they are bone cold, but the room is so warm I have my shirt off! 

Regradless of how they got cold, the real trick is not keeping them warm,
but getting them warm.  Ten layers of insulation won't help if the feet
are already cold.  So what I like to do is soak my feet in some nice hot
water.  This warms the skin up & trigers all sorts of circulation.  Then
put on some warm socks & I'm set for hours of bliss & warmth.   I would love
to stay & chat but I'm due in the bathroom for a foot washing.  I bet I
have the cleanest toes in town!.... oh this is real weird my feet just got
warmer while I was composing this letter about taking hot foot baths!  Is
this like twilight zone or what?  (think warm thought!?)
