Why do I have visions of an ETS version of 'Queer Eye for the Straight Guy?' You need to get your mom a very basic level assembly she will have with her at all times. Start with a Victorinex SAK. Once mom has opened a few Easter gifts and removed splinters with tweezers and magnifying glass it will join the LED flashlight you put on her keyring. Buy a Hudson's Bay or Whitney .This is now her car/stadium blanket hearkening back to genteel days of Brogham carriages. Make up a first aid kit that is equal parts toiletries. Women want to look and smell good when rescued anyway. So toss in some store sample bottles of Chanel #5 next to the Martins burnaway. The ladies of the forum are reaching for paracord to hang me and lifeboat matches to stick under my toenails, so I'll cease, but you get the idea <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
