This compression hose can change the world!

July 19, 2008 · Leave a Comment

“Alright Sam, do we have everything we need to pull this job off?” 

“I’m pretty sure we do.  This is going to be the best heist ever!!”

“Ok, lets see… bag for money… jacket to wear… note to teller… and stocking to put on our head.”

“Here Bill, here is your stocking for your head.  Remember that stocking we put on our heads last time, how hot it was?  Well this one is better.  You remember how much we sweated last time while waiting for the teller to get the money?”

“Dude, I do!  It was horrible.  The sweat kept coming and collecting, but wouldn’t disappear.  It kept running down the inside and never evaporated.  I thought I was going to have a heat stroke.  My whole head was wet because of it.”

“This stocking is different.  Its the newest thing.  Its sheer and soft.  We can see through it and it won’t leave a raspberry on your nose or my forehead this time.  Its amazing how soft it is.  The other thing, this stocking will wick away perspiration from your skin.  So you don’t get hot like you did before.”

“Ok, Sam, let me have mine.  Man this is pretty tight.  Ok, its on my head…  um, Sam…  I,um…  I think I’m going to pass out.”  *THUD*

“Bill??  Bill?  Hang on, I’ll call the police.”

 

Mediven has done it again.  They have a new compression hose which they have just released.  It’s called Mediven Soft and Sheer.  This is the first time I have seen a sheer compression hose that is as soft as this.  The next thing they did to make it better than the other sheer hose out there, they engineered it to be able to wick away perspiration.  What does that mean to you?  It has a natural cooling effect on you legs while you wear them.

They are releasing them first as knee hi, thigh hi, and pantyhose.  Compressions can be in 20/30 and 30/40 mmHg.  I have also been told that towards the end of this year, they will release as an open toe as well, in those compressions.  That would also be a first for the sheer compression hose.

The other advantage to purchasing these compression hose is that with every purchase of these stockings, Mediven will donate $1.00 to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  The more you buy, the more they donate.

Again, it is called Mediven Soft and Sheer.  If you have any questions, use the links on the side to pull up either our Close To You online store or our main website.    We look forward to hearing from you.

Take care!

 

**Disclaimer – We do not advocate anyone wearing any type of compression hose on their head. Ever.**

Baylor Hospital healthcare screening for men

May 16, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Here is a short list of basic general life truths about men:

1.  If you buy a man a present that plugs in or runs off batteries, they will like it.

2.  If a man is watching sports on television, its not the best time to ask how you look.  We are not capable of watching sports and listening to someone else talk.  At all!

3.  If you need a new outfit or have already bought a new outfit and need to tell us, do it after dinner.  We are more easy going then.  Also refer to #2.

4.  Contrary to what you might think, ductape can be used to fix almost anything.

5.  Men never, ever, ever get sick.

Now as you read this short list, you think to yourself “fix dinner and then go shopping.”  No….  thats now what I am telling anyone.  Any woman that has a man knows that number 5 is not neccessarily true.

Women know that men do get sick.  Women also know that when men are sick, we are babies.  Big babies!  The world is going to end, time stands still, we need our mommies!!  I know a guy who was sick once, so sick that he got out of bed and couldn’t get back in bed.  Why you ask, because he tried to walk and couldn’t.  He decided we would just lay on the floor…  in the hallway…  in his underwear…  and wait till some came to pick him up.  Yes, men are babies.

So women, here is your chance.  Tell your man to help himself.  Baylor Hospital is sponsoring a Baylor Men’s Health Day.  So tell your man to go.

They are having a Men’s Health Day at each of the Baylor Hospital’s in the dallas area.   Baylor Dallas, Baylor All Saints, Baylor Grapevine, Baylor Garland, Baylor Plano.

So women, send you man to the health day and make them get a check up.  They will love you more for it!  And while they are getting there health checked up on, you can have a shopping trip!  Just remember rule number one when your out.  Its a win win for both of you!

Take care!
