Ok. Does anyone else think this looks like a flower boob?
I was in King Soopers this week (ok. Every day. Am I the only one that ends up at the grocery store every frickin’ day?) And I saw this.
They’re on sale too. I am grateful for any money that goes towards a cure, but MAN, some of the things that are “pink” amaze me. Awareness is important, but I think some retailers just slap a ribbon on random products that aren’t selling. I half expect to see a pink ribbon on last week’s potato rolls. I’m beginning to think I missed a holiday somewhere because there is this “pink” aisle between the Halloween stuff and the Christmas stuff. Apparently we’re skipping Thanksgiving this year…
Radiation update: I misunderstood. I don’t get the scar boost until the end of treatment unless my skin starts coming off or something. 🙂 They just do the simulation early in case they need to switch stuff around.

It looks just like a flower boob! Maybe it is just because we have boobs on the brain.
I agree about the pink ribbon stuff. I was in Target the other day and they had pink crockpots and cooking utensils! Weird. On my blog I have a link to think before you pink about different pink products that are missleading.

oh, that didn’t make sense did it. We put all the names of those we are walking in honor of on the back of the t-shirts and your name is on the shirt.

I bought pink MnM’s today… they were for a baby shower where the baby is a girl… I guess pink works for lots of things. But pink pasty crackers, yuck.

That’s a pretty amazing flower boob. Sort of lacy somehow.
I too wonder how many of the PINK things we see actually do send money to fund research. I mean… if they send .001% of the profits (not gross, but profits) they get to claim they[‘re supporting … but that’s not much money, is it?
Sure wish there were laws against misleading advertising that actually worked!

I get really, really, really sick of pink in October. And I’m with Helen (above).

Yep, that’s a boob. Probably a very tasty boob, though.
