decades, has a  much higher tolerance than I do -- never mind than I did
back when my skin  was softer. <<

My grandmother A'H used to take pots off the stove or move them around on  
the stove with her bare hands -- no pot holders -- and did not seem to feel 
the  heat.  As a girl I could not understand this but now I think it might 
be  like the way people can walk on hot coals -- if you do it fast enough 
there  isn't time to burn or even to feel the heat.  This makes me wonder if 
the  temperature of yad soledes bo has a time factor -- how /long/ can you 
keep your  hand in the hot water before you feel the heat?  If you can keep 
your hand  in for thirty seconds it's not yad soledes bo but if you would jerk 
your hand  away after a second it is yad soledes bo?  Something like that?
