In The Pink

[Newstar]

It is breast cancer awareness month and I have a good friend who I am supporting in the Walk for a Cure event. Over lunch one day, we laughed over the fact that manufacturers were getting a little carried away with the color pink.

Now I understand it is to bring awareness and I'm not knocking it. But this led to a friendly text message game between us. For the past two weeks, we've been texting each other each time we see something totally outrageous. For example: pink tic-tacs, a pink maglite flashlight, pink toilet paper (no really! this was to promote breast cancer awareness, not just pink in color to match decor!) Yesterday, she texted to let me know she picked up a prescription with a pink ribbon embossed on the lid.

This is all in fun....what unlikely pink things have you seen lately?

I have a teammate who wears pink hockey gloves.

The hockey team here at the U. of Alaska is wearing pink ribbons embroidered on their sweaters.

YEs, but does it have a pink ribbon on it? I'm looking for products specifically packaged to raise awareness.

How about the DAILY DEAL?

Our local MLS Soccer team, Toronto FC, recently played a game in pink jerseys, and pink jerseys were available for sale during the game (I'm now a proud owner of one). My grandmother died from breast cancer, my mother-in-law survived it TWICE - 30 years apart, and a co-worker is currently battling it. I'm ALL IN as far as support goes.

My New Balance cross trainers have a pink ribbon on the tongue.

My wife just got a set of pink Wilson golf clubs and we also have a can of pink tennis balls.

I was out riding on a beautiful afternoon yesterday, when I came through a small town and spotted this. I had to turn around and go back, thinking of this thread.

But Tracy, where else can you get a mini makeover AND a motorcycle?

:groovy

[Newstar]

Good point! Anyone else in need? I'd ask my HD riding girlfriend but Mike threw her (and several others) out a few years ago because they did not agree with his MANDATORY volunteer schedule applied to the local HOG group.

Story goes that Mike's wife literally caught him with his pants down and she now owns the place so maybe my friend will be allowed back.:p

[RTGirl]

Pink T-Shirt that says "Yes they are fake, the real ones tried to kill me"!! I am now the owner of said shirt considering I was diagnosed earlier this month.

[Newstar]

So sorry to hear this, RT. I hope your treatments go well. We will be thinking of you so keep us posted!

[Bullett]

Sending fierce, healing thoughts and prayers your way RTGirl.

[Voni]

Healing hugs!

That's one of the reasons we are all so supportive of each other. Never know when it's going to be our turn to face this.

Do share. We'll keep you rolling!

Hang in there RTGirl. We're thinking of you and sending warm thoughts from cold Wisconsin.:thumb.

[RTGirl]

Thanks ladies!! I found it in the earliest stages and will start treatment soon. The way I look at is I finally get boobs at almost 50 and a butt lift at the same time:p!!

Since we may have to deal with it, I'm glad you started this thread to add humor to our arsenals!

I saw a local gas company truck on the road the other day. It was PINK with a big awareness ribbon on the door. They are doing their part.
