Re: handbags and new ointment

[Guest guest]

Hi - I carry a bag called the healthy backpack. It is kidney shaped

and distributes the weight. I just love it and can carry quite a bit

of junk. They were origially made by ameribag

(http://www.ameribag.com/catalog/home), but you can find them on the

internet under different names much cheaper. The ameribag website

tells the story about the bags. There are also sewing patterns if you

like to sew free from wild ginger.

Another item I thought I would bring up is Voltaren get (diclofenac

sodium topical gel) that just came out from Novartis. This is a

prescription ointment to relieve pain. You rub it on like bengay, but

it really works and doesn't smell bad. It's worth a try if your doc

gives out samples. Hope everyone is having a great, pain free day.
