No matter what your weight or height or Body Mass Index (BMI), we believe the most important thing is that your products are safe and that they fit your size and your lifestyle. 

Valerie, this must be done.  You can do this...  Okay, uHum....  This is for mature audiences only. 

There is a good chance that you will personally witness a cardiac arrest in your lifetime.  For me, that's enough of a reason to hope that everyone knows CPR (especially the guy standing next to me if I suddenly drop dead).  Without it, you have little chance of surviving a heart-stopping arrest. 

Here are some disturbing statistics published by the American Heart Association.  Much of this is taken from Heart Disease and Stroke Statistics - 2009 Update.

 Here is a summary of "Risk Factors for Heart Disease" from the American Heart Association:

People die every day because they ignore the signs of a heart attack.  They don't want to "bother" anyone, or they thought the symptoms would just go away.  Here's the deal, though... you never know for sure and it's not worth guessing.  Personally, I'd rather be sent home with a prescription for GasX than be sent home in a box.

Valentine's Day and President's Day aren't the only holidays we'll be celebrating this month. February is American Heart Month! Cross my heart.

My friends tease me about my cold hands and feet.  I mean, they are sooooo cold!  I've tried all kinds of things to warm up (even moving from Nebraska to Arizona) but I just seem to run a few degrees south of normal.  Yeah, 'boo hoo', I know, it's 70 degrees here in January and I'm complaining.

I said to my buddy Daver, "Hey, I'm having a hard time finding a widget or badge to download into my blog so people can follow us on Twitter." 

People have a real knack for improvising when it comes to getting things done.   Even when we're weak or disabled we tend to figure out a way to get those cans open, or cut that piece of meat, or finagle those blasted peas into our mouths, even if it means having someone do it for us.  We forget though, or maybe don't even consider, that there are products designed to do nothing more than make you more independent and make your life easier.
