I have this coconut body butter lotion made by Philosophy that I use frequently to keep my arms and legs moisturized.

Pity the Childless Couple…
Years ago I caught in Ann Lander's column a piece called Pity the Childless Couple. The original piece was penned by Rosalyn South in 1957 for a magazine called The American Mercury (thank you Barbara Mikkelson of Snopes for the info).
