Heartache
by Nanette Littlestone

Heartache.

Heartbreak.

I’d rather not be awake.

Isn’t it kinder to be muddled?

Easier to be befuddled?

All I want to do is cuddle

But you’re not here.

 

Anguish.

Languish.

Maybe I can just vanish the

Pain.

Lost in the misty morning rain,

Believing that anyone can feign

Normalcy.

 

Manic.

Panic.

Sinking like the Titanic

In a morass of self-delusion.

Creating a grand illusion.

Wanting to find a real solution.

Striving for happiness.

 

Nothing works.

I’m only lying to myself.

Want a real solution for your aching back?

     Hi! I'm John Rebrovick, president of SouthStar Supply Company. I am here to tell you that Thermoskin® wraps really work. I know. I don't just sell them. Periodically my back acts up. What. A. Pain. Literally. The first thing I do is hobble over to the drawer for my back wrap.

     For a wrap, its especially comfortable because of the patented Trioxon® lining which is soft, yet wicks perspiration away from the skin. The wrap provides mild insulation to the lower back, increasing blood flow and therefore reducing pain and speeding recuperation. Sewn-in elastic straps and flexible metal stays provide support. All you have to do is wrap it around you to a snug fit with the hook & loop fasteners and in minutes you'll be feeling better. Click the "Order Now" link below for a guide to sizing; we've got 'em for you little people in extra small all the way up to the Big Bubba xx-large size. And oh yes, back wrap holds up well in the wash. (That's not my back in the picture, by the way, but could have been when I was young and skinny...)

     Only $54.55 plus shipping from us Bubbas at SouthStar Supply Company!
