    bttt

    I'll match Purps' challenge $1 for $1 up to the first $100 to the Komen Foundation (http://cms.komen.org/komen/Donations/index.htm) no need to wait to donate..

    I'd donate more, but I've already blown my September and October budgets on upcoming vacations...

    and I'll leave it to Leslie to keep track (remember 1 ribbon per poster, or we'd go broke)

    Snakes() keep the thread going....

    edited to add...less than 20 different posters posted a ribbon wit 925 views? ...

    we have another poster ernyw...who is matching Leslie's challenge with a grant of their own...

    Tell you what, I will MATCH whatever purps calculates for the pink ribbon posting donations. I believe the fight is this important.

    that's what Leslie needs...SUPPORT....

    That doubles the money... I threw down a matching grant up to $100....that triples some of it... so in addition to posting ribbons, post a matching grant...even if its only a nickle or a dime per ribbon....

    I had my last mammogram in July. It went well, no return of cancer.

    But a funny thing happened afterwards. I left the exam room to get dressed and left the clinic. I went back to work for the rest of the day, went out and had a couple of drinks with friends, stopped at a friend's house to chat and finally made it home later in the evening. I went in to take my shower and felt something strange on my breast. I was about to get nervous when I realized that I had been walking around all day with that little dot stuck to my nipple. You know the one I'm talking about. Boy oh boy, I must have looked funny. Excited on the left side, apathy on the right. What a hoot.

    Purps remembered a photo I posted some time ago, and asked me to repost it. It is a portrait I did of a friend who was going thru breast cancer treatment and the two other women who made up her support group. The photo later ran in Cure magazine.

    I don't think this is the pic you saw, Purps (this was just us playing around), but it is what I have online from the same photo-shoot:
