Good Morning

I wake up in the morning, with my joints all stiff and sore. I reach for that magic tool, I keep in the dresser drawer. At first it starts to tingle, I feel like a little kid. Suddenly the heat kicks in, now I feel like I once did. Oh Biofreeze, When I roll you on my skin. your healing power begins, and your warmth starts to sink in, I’m ready for the world again. My neck, shoulders, back, and thumbs, I smear it on one and all. Don’t care if I start to smell, like a bottle of menthol. One thing I must caution you, this part you must understand. Before you go take a whizz, just make sure you wash your hands.

Bio-freeze is an ointment that you can put on sore muscles and stiff joints from arthritis or sports injuries.

Yes indeed. I think peppers are sneakier at it.

I'll be advised, Jerry. LOL. Nothing like menthol you-know-where! ~ Who will Dare

Thanks, Yann. Unfortunately, it has become a big part of my routine. My wife calls me Rice Crispies...because I snap, crackle, and pop,
