PMS Preparedness

Emergency preparedness
Some people live in tornado alley, others live in hurricane prone areas, we ALL live in the PMS zone.
Just as those that live in areas that common sense dictates a level of preparedness IE: A box containing canned goods, a can opener, candles, safety matches, flashlights and batteries, water treatment tablets an evacuation plan, etc. We all should have a plan of action for the PMS zone. The fall out in the PMS zone can be far reaching. If you don't live with a sufferer, chances are that you work with, are family of, even drive on the same roads with one. Being prepared is the key to survival!
Your kit should include supplies to carry you through a week at least.
Stay vigilant! Mark your calendars and be aware of "P" days approach and plan accordingly. Homeland security has yet to come up with an appropriate drill to help the populace survive this threat. As a public service, this pamphlet will include general items required for survival. Each individual will fine tune their kit to suit their needs.
General supply list
1. Chocolate and or chips ( what ever the sufferers favorite salt source)
2. Pamprin or Midol (to be doled out either surreptitiously or with extreme caution rather than suggest, hint, or infer that the sufferer's emotional upheaval and distress, is anything other than a disaster of epic proportions and usually the fault of someone else)
3.candles and matches that would go in any disaster preparedness kit work well for the PMS kit, due to the soft lighting being flattering and the romantic connotations.
4. Pre written love notes are suggested for the fast moving mood swings.
5. a heating pad or hot water bottle
6. a good bottle of wine and cork screw are required equipment.
7. chick flicks and tissues should be kept on hand
8. lots of patience, love and understanding should be kept with a neatly prepared evacuation plan for when the patience runs out.

This is a preliminary list and all suggestions for inclusion in this kit would be appreciated!
