Breast Support - not just bras!

by **rockinfayrose** » Sat Oct 03, 2009 2:15 pm

I noticed today at Ralphs how so many brands/products are 'going pink' this month...from the package of sliced mushrooms in produce to big windex and rubbermaid displays that occupy the aisles...and Ralphs/Food For Less stores are big supporters of Komen for the Cure with checkstand donation canisters that contribute to the more than $2 million the company contributed to find a cure for breast cancer since 2001.

I like that Ralphs supports the 'walks for a cause' like with the Komen for a Cure walk, the Lynn Cohen Kickin' Cancer walk which I participate in each year, and the Westside Food Bank Hunger Walk to kick of charitable giving for the holiday season which I'll also be attending in November...so if you need toilet paper, toothepaste and tampons right now, go out and support your local Ralphs/Food for Less

Well, I don't wait for every October to come around to perform this, I check my wife's breast nightly, and they’re both doing quite fine. And I've not miraculously started growing a third ball yet, so my boys are so far doing fine also.

If you're aiding your wife in her breast exam nightly, I'm guessing you aren't having any issues with...er... flushing the system when it comes to avoiding blue balls, so a lower testicular cancer risk too. :lol:

Good on you TSH, nice to know you're doing your part

Yeah, Sushi's doing his part & that's very noble of him, but I would like to take that benevolence even one step further by offering my assistance. If any of you ladies would like a free breast exam, I would be happy to lend a hand.... or two. :shock:

I promise to be thorough. :wink:

(Oh lighten up, folks. I know this is a serious issue. I'm just rebelling b/c someone got my thread locked down & I never even got my question answered: What is "Frank Talk"?--- so take THAT!)

The game came out in 1965 so either you had the 70s version or youre older than you think!

My mom had me play the game with her. She has one of the original versions before it was revamped a couple times. There was the formal dance guy, the bowler, the beach babe, the skier & of course, the dud. I can't remember much about the game except I often got the dud & that used to upset me. :roll:

Flushing the system lowers testicular cancer? I didn't know that. I was always afraid that I was using up all my stock and that would make it less likely that I could have children. Can a guy use up all his ammo or is it unlimited lifetime supply?

Bump for the breast cancer awareness.........nice thread Ari! :wink:

This one is for a dear Friend who is going through chemo right now as we speak...she tends to lurk here. L this is for you girl.........I know laughture is how you get through day by day, and my thoughts, heart, and prayers are with you daily.

Unlimited lifetime supply as long as your body keeps working. Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, but men keep making sperm from puberty until the day they die (barring unfortunate accidents and certain illnesses, of course) - around 1000 a minute, and they live (assuming you aren't "flushing the system") for between 42 and 60 days before being reabsorbed back into the body. Aren't you glad I know this stuff? :lol:

Best of luck to you, Friend of Ginger. True story to give you a giggle - my kid sister had sarcoma (bone cancer) as a teenager, and chemo made all her hair fall out. She used to wear a wig or a head scarf, but was pretty open and upbeat about it all. She was out with some friends of hers, and her wig was making her scalp itch, so she lifted it up to have a quick scritch, and a little girl, maybe 4 or 5 saw her do it.
"Mummy," says the little girl, "that lady can take her hair off!"
'Mummy' looked over, realised Kath had lost her hair from chemo and promptly shushed the little girl with a highly embarrassed look on her face. Now this really annoyed Kath, because as she saw it, the little girl now thought it was something to be ashamed and embarrassed about, instead of a side effect of life-saving treatment. So my sister, channelling the family nutcase gene, decided to have some fun. Every time 'Mummy' looked away, Kath would lift the wig like she was raising a hat old-time style, and pulled a manic grin, waggling her eyebrows. Little girl, Kath and her friends are all laughing hysterically and 'Mummy' can't work out what the hell is going on.

Kath is a gal after my own heart!

To have the heart to let a little girl know it is better to laugh with you, than at you. And I bet her mum was wondering what was up! LOL! Top of the day to you too sweetie.......

I'll restate that I think supporting Breast Cancer should mean more than just wearing a pink ribbon, and cancer support and research should be for all cancers, and all sufferers. Well, here's a challenge for you - http://bcaction.org/index.php?page=liberate-the-breast-cancer-genes

My view is that no company should be able to hold a patent on human genomes, especially if that is then limiting research and limiting peoples options.

Thoughts?

Mom had a mastectomy. She wasn't real big but she said it made her feel lopsided...
