It's a wrap that has either rice or some sort of peas/beans in it. You put it in the microwave for whatever time they say, and it stays warm for a long time and uses no electricity so if you fall asleep on it, it's okay. What I like most about it, though, is that you can sort of mold it around what hurts. I hope your wrist feels better soon.<br /><br />I buy a lot from Amazon and have the prime membership. Each day I can download a free movie. Pretty good deal. Right now, though, as I'm laid up with my back I've been reading "The Help" which is excellent. I'll watch the movie afterward. I'd recommend the read to anyone. <br /><br />I wish I hadn't given this book away. "Queen of the Road". I think anyone RVing would laugh as hard as I did. http://tinyurl.com/6s9djdc<br /><br />You get the most unusual pictures.

I really ...Love the story about unusual young man. I really think one of the most wonderful parts of life is the <b>interesting</b> people you meet along the way. As a retired photographer one of the great pleasures was time I spent chatting with clients before/after their shoot. Truly, <b>NORMAL</b> is what we grow up with, or become accustomed to -- and that leaves a lot of room for variation and diversity. <br />None of which may be pleasant to be around at certain times. <br />It's funny -- 50 years ago we had a visiting pastor staying with my parents -- and he and I were talking -- old man to young boy. I asked him about his travels and he said he would never stop at a rest area or "wayside" as they were often called at the time unless there were more than one cars in the lot. Nowadays people are far more concerned about security than they were then, but still it pays to be concerned about finding ourselves in places that aren't public just because on one else is around. <br><br />Cheers, Peter<br><br /><a href="http://peterpazuch.com/awaywego" rel="nofollow">Away We Go</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09639202304215312120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-76238282540081045102012-01-13T20:03:25.475-06:002012-01-13T20:03:25.475-06:00Red Box is great Judy.

You can actually go to Red Box online and reserve a movie, then go pick it up. It is 1.00 plus tax per night, slightly higher if you go to the box and order there rather than online. Online you can find where all the Red Boxes are near where you are. Walmart, McDonald's, Walgreens are just a few examples of locations. They send you and email when you pickup and another when you return so you know there are no problems.<br /><br />http://travelinglongdogs.blogspot.comTravelingLongdogshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07562207397650862936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-65239534863262200312012-01-13T19:51:01.828-06:002012-01-13T19:51:01.828-06:00Haven't tried Red Box yet, but probably will o...Haven't tried Red Box yet, but probably will once we are out there more!
