mo is in pain and sent me to the store. among all the high-tech stuff, i found DR. J.H. MCLEAN’S VOLCANIC OIL!!!!!!!!! i think it was still on the shelf from 1835, back before product liability suits changed things.

best thing: active ingredient is turpentine oil, combining pain relief AND paint brush cleaning. bonus: mo has discovered the chief source of her pain. maybe volcanic oil out of a shot glass …
