What we try to do here at Cross Blog is give you very practical ways to get prepared. And what I love about Self Magazine’s “21 Ways To Save A Life (Yours, Too!)” is that it’s nothing if not practical.

I mean, who hasn’t eaten sushi with a friend? Or had a significant other cook them dinner? There’s even another question that involves a friend drinking too much at a party…and, come on, who hasn’t been privy to something like that?
