Yeah, I was on the board and I saw the same comments. Somebody even said that a certain drug is turning his hands red. That got me scared! I don't think that's true, though. I was watching Marley & Me with my mom at the theatre, and I'm basking in Owen's glory (as usual) and all of a sudden, my mom whispers to me "Are those his hands?!" I'm like, What? What the heck is she doing looking at his hands when I'm seeing everything but that! I say Yeah, and she says "How old is he?! I say "He's my age, 40". And then she says "He's only 40?! He looks like he has the hands of a 50 year old!!" At which point I was like "whatever". I love his hands no matter what. However, his hands are very red and dry in that movie. You can clearly see it. I think it's because like someone said here, he's an outdoorsy person and swims a lot in saltwater & bikes & skateboards. He probably uses his hands a lot and like a lot of guys, just doesn't take care of them, putting on lotion everyday. However, I would personally volunteer to lotion his hands everyday (twice a day or more) and anything else he needs lotioned.... I don't understand this new nickname they gave me! Who is Mitch? I'm here for Owen! Can't I be an Owenpalooza person? I aspire to be Keeper of his Private Parts ('cause I'm a naughty), but I'd settle for Keeper of his Pants or Shirt!!

I love Owen's hands too with their long slender fingers. I think they look like the refined hands of a violinist. (Ah, the passion!) But I do agree they look rough, reddened, and dry. He does spend a lot of time outside in the sun, and maybe his skin is naturally dry. I'll be ever so happy to care for his hands. They look a little bit beyond "lotion" level; they may need something stronger - like oil. Hmmm....might as well oil him all over.

Whoo Hoo!!! How's about some baby oil, and some massage oil, and some of that gel that gets warm...just to spice things up??? I would totally love to oil him down from head to toe!! But put extra energy into each and every finger....

You're killing me. Stop making me dream! (j/k) ;D So nobody here has bad experiences wih oil? I inherit my dad's dry skin and so, till the time I was like 8 or 9, every sunday would mean drowning in oil. And not just any oil...Mustard oil... It was horrible...mustard oil has a very strong smell and is thick and sticky...oil on face, hands, feet etc. was still okay, it would come off with the help of (lots of) soap, but my father had go as far as pouring oil into my ears...that was just plain traumatic, and no matter how hard I'd try, it just wouldn't wash off....ah, baaadd days. My dad still does that, I told him that he smells like fried fish, and so he decided to use all of my special for-hair-only-olive-oil....all in one go. When I confronted him about my missing olive oil, he accused me of calling him a fried fish and hence leaving no other alternative uhh dad, when you cover your whole body with mustard oil, what do you expect to smell like? Roses? Ah well, back to his hands, ladies whatever you do, use a light oil, and not you-know-what

Uh, I thought olive oil is to be consumed, not applied to the skin. It's very good for heart health! I always had good luck with Avon Skin-So-Soft oil. Just add it to my bath water, and my dry skin was cured in that one treatment. (Also an effective mosquito repellent!) Ah yes, back to Owen's beautiful hands, chapped though they be. ;D

I suppose. Lips are skin.

I believe you can apply olive oil, lightly, as a sort of natural moisturizer. Maybe you can reap the heart health benefits through osmosis. #hmm#

I use olive oil for lotion. It smells great! Actually, now that I think about it, I probably smell like a salad. Regardless, I do use it for moisturizing. I had a Greek neighbor and she said she knew of nothing else to use and just about every house has it. Maybe it's a mediteranian thing... but, boy would I love to oil Owen up. One thing, don't use oil on satin sheets....wooooooosh

Dumb question, but what is this W.E.S.?

Wilson Emergency Squad.
I believe SP founded it. She has the details. I joined for the parties. And the chance to perform mouth to mouth resuscitation. I'm certified you know.

Yeah, Olive Oil lotion is really good (so is Olive Oil soap, which Owen should use, since he has dry skin).
And I can def. picture us all with arms outstreched, ready and willing to let Owen slide right into them...then us tumbling down with him!! ;D

We'll have to take turns with Owen. While one of us is having her way with him, the others will be "spotters" around the bed. Like trampoline "spotters." Yeah, oil does NOT go with satin sheets. I heard of a case where someone broke his or her neck sliding off satin sheets while oiled and hitting his or her head on the floor.
