Do you have a first aid kit? in your home? office? Car? boat or R.V.? Did you keep one before you had children? I have a hugh one in my house. A small one in my car and an assortment of bandaids and such in my purse (curious george and dora,in the purse). And what do you keep in it? I have everything in the house one, but even in the car one i have a good bit of "extras" . So, how about you?

Yeppers CJ having raised three boys and now grand children where is always a bandaid and some bactine close by. The one in the house even has a tourniquet.We have had broken legs, arms and collar bones. Having gauze around close is a necessity. My husband and I are some what klutzes ourselves LMAO. Its a God send to keep a well stocked first aid kit in the house and car.

Well I'm rather clumsy, and run into a ton of stuff on a daily basis, it's just a matter of how much I get hurt as opposed to whether I get hurt or not at all. I have a huge first aid kit at home, with everything from burns to scrapes to whatever else could go wrong. I have band-aids everywhere, bathroom, kitchen with the vitamins and such, trunk of car, tennis bag, gym bag. In the car I have a smaller first aid kit that I keep in the trunk with wraps, bandages, and whatever else comes in those small first aid kits you can get at Target. Somehow I haven't had to open this one yet. Oh and a thing of bactine.

Sounds like mine at home, everything is in that thing all the actual medicince, cleaning agents, bug bite stuff, creams , ointments, pills, tablets is in one. Then the bandaids , bandages, 4X4's, steri-strips , ace bandages, instant heat and ice packs, several different types of tape, siccors and anything else i think i may need is in the second one. The one in the car is a little smaller (at least everything is in one box)but i still have a good assortment for whatever may come up.

I'm sure her wonderful husband lets her go as overboard on her first aid kits as she wants to, so that she feels prepared! I am sure she thanks you.

Well, I have a lot of first aid stuff, but I really wouldn't call it a kit I guess. I don't keep anything in my car. I don't know why it is, but if I have a box of band-aids and the kids find out, they are all gone in week. I don't know if they go out and hurt themselves on purpose or what. But it's gone in no time. I don't even have a fire extinguisher, do you? I do keep my smoke-alarms up to par.

I do not have a fire extingisher, i should be ashamed with all the firefighters in my family! I do have smoke alarms. And i do have a batteryless flashlight.
