I know, I know, two posts in the same day. Whatever was I drinking tonight? For those of you following along at home via LiveJournal and RSS, you won't see this. But the background of ChachiInCharge has changed from its pale blue to a pale pink.
Why the change in color you ask? Well, it's because October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. And pink is the official color of breast cancer. So head on over to http://pinkforoctober.org/ and you can learn more.
You can also check out the National Breast Cancer Foundation to learn more about what you can do. And remember ladies, do your monthly self breast exams. Get your sweetie to assist you if it helps. Early detection is the key. |

[clears throat] Sorry to be potentially a spoilsport, but my favorite (and now boobless) spinster-aunt Twisty (blog.iblamethepatriarchy.com) has alerted me to a few things about the pink ribbon industry, which I feel is my duty as an aging, walking time-boob (heh) to pass on. I have yet to read the book (though I will mention it: "Pink Ribbons, Inc.") but I have been to an interesting related coupla websites ( http://www.bcaction.org/ and http://www.thinkbeforeyoupink.org/) that are very informative. I still think there is nothing wrong with helping out however one can (and doing self-exams monthly), but let's make sure that the bucks go mostly for a cure. Information is freedom y'all. | |
