Enough already about breast cancer, I get it! I get that for every woman who dies to breast cancer, 10 die to heart disease, that is what I get! My question is, does this country really care about women, or just our breasts? Or, perhaps the ugly truth is really that the breast is the "sexy cause" and heart disease is basically just not all that attractive? I firmly believe that breast cancer is tragic and that many women and their families have been devastated by this cancer, and I'm thankful that the women in my family have not had to go through it, but several had heart disease! Just sayin' that there are so many other tragic diseases that deserve equal time. When will some of these other cancers be as important as the " breast"?
I'm not a football fan, but it's on in my house all the time now. What the heck is with the NFL??? Really, these guys are all wearing pink, pink bands, pink shoes, pink caps! The money that was spent on this makes me sick, the NFL should have just given all that money to cancer research. But the truth is that they want some sort of accolade for being so sensitive to the plight of breast cancer, trust me, breast cancer did not need that exposure..... we're pretty much saturated with their " awareness" program!
FYI- Every 15 minutes a woman dies of breast cancer, just to compare- in Africa alone, someone dies every 15 seconds to malaria, which is 100% curable.Who's talking about this? No body!
Never, never, never give up.

And the NFL continues to wear pink all month long. I said to Steve today, "when does this end? They already did this last week!" Any way, I've got a pink magnetic ribbon to slap onto your car in the mail for you.
