What you need is a roaring fire, a blanket, and someone warm to put your hands on… snifter of brandy optional ---

That’s why you put your hands under your arms… the SVC is there, the femorals and IVC are down on the upper inner thigh, just put your hands down there and things get get warmer in a hurry… How does that feel? ---

In North Alabama it is currently 29 degrees and dropping. I’ve got a fire going, and it’s nice and toasty. The dogs like it. ---

**struuter** , if you should ever, ever find yourself cold again, remember that you have a standing (or sitting or laying down) offer to snuggle in a sleeping bag, 'course we’ll have to be nekked, as you well know. ---
