You know ... they do have electric booties now?? And battery operated warming socks? Both leave your feetsies all toasty warm.

i'm just going to assume you meant well, but since i do not actually have a bathtub (just a shower) and long ardently for one, that's sort of twisting the knife too. although of course if i stand on the drainhold while the shower is running i can fill up the bottom a bit. a footbath, you could say. it's really not the same.

"Take a pair of wool socks, and put them on your feet. Now, over these, put on some nylon stockings.
The combination of nylon and wool is a good thing, because one is naturally positively charged, while the other is naturally negatively charged. Hiking around in these dynamic pairs of foot clothing, creates frictional static electricity that warms up your feet without any need for batteries." |
since i already have plenty of wool socks (that's all i wear all winter) i will buy some nylon socks (refuse to wear those usually, nylon=icky) and try this out. i like scientifically interesting solutions to cold feet (that do not consist in wearing a hat *instead* of socks).
