Summertime can be a boatload of fun, but too much enjoyment can sometimes lead to scrapes, bumps, bruises, sprains, and even splinters. That's why it's good to have your medicine cabinet stocked with the essentials.

To help keep everyone as prepared as a Boy Scout, Maximum Fitness magazine suggests some of these Medicine Cabinet Must-Haves:

1. Bandages and Triple-Antibiotic Ointment. You never know when junior might fall during a backyard barbecue and scrape his knee. Put some Neosporin on that cut, cover it in a band-aid and the little guy will be up and running again in no time.

2. Acetaminophen. For pain relief with the fewest side effects, pop one or two of these (check the suggested dosage). This should help keep you from whining for at least an hour or so about the ankle you sprained during that game of touch football.

It is officially the time of year to start really thinking about New Year's Resolutions. While many people will vow to lose 20lbs, quit smoking and/or drinking, or start working out on a regular basis, I like to stick with something much smaller, simpler and -- let's face it -- easier.

While all of the aforementioned resolutions are very worthwhile, I think it's tough to decide to do any of those things just because it's the new year and everyone else is making plans to change their habits immediately following the holiday-binge season. So I think it's a great idea to stick with something less complex and work your way up to resolutions that are tougher to keep and need some serious willpower.
