Have you ever known a woman who couldn’t pass a mirror without having at least a quick look?

After a career as a firefighter, in what seems like another life now, retirement has me thinking, sometimes, of the ‘good old days’.

I remember coming home from high school and seeing my Mom sporting new specs. I told her she looked kind of goofy and asked about the new eyewear. She replied that she’d reached that age where her eyes were no longer focusing too well and she needed some help. She assured me that needing glasses when reaching the age of 40 or 50 was not uncommon and to not be surprised if I needed them too in another 30 or so years.

The trick to treating hemorrhoids effectively is to find a system that works… for you. There are numerous options for treatment and some work better than others. For sufferers, the main objective is to get rid of the discomfort that goes along with the affliction. But, just as important, is to address the underlying causes to prevent a recurrence once the condition is brought under control.

Some have the option of rolling on wheels while others are designed to CARRY wheels (as in a combination laptop/skateboard backpack carrier).
