My 7-year old daughter has been swimming everyday, twice per day starting this past Monday. She loves to swim!!! I did not let her swim today and when I picked her up from the Y, her fingertips looked really dry, whilted like. No pain. Is there a connection between swimming and her dry fingertips? What is the cause? Should I take her to the doctor? I asked her if she played in the H2O today and she said no. What gives?

Guilty of steroid use or not, I still think Bonds is one of the greatest, and I feel so lucky to witness a legend still playing. Even while he was still scrawny and lanky, he still hit homeruns. Unlike other power hitters of the past, like McGwire, Bonds is an all-around ballplayer, with countless gold gloves, numerous allstar appearances, and the 400/400 club. Who agrees, and who doesn't. Let me know why!
