Personal First Aid belt pack
When we think of first aid the mental picture is one of band aids, antiseptic swab, gauze packs, ammonia “wake up’s; just letting the manufacturer decide for us.
Old Men take Heed!
While in Wal*Mart last week I chanced to meet an elderly man, actually my age. He related he was miserable and ready to meet his maker-suicide. He looked gray, stooped over with rheumy eyes and shaking hands.
