Bonnie is through the surgery
 People who can't cook are buying pizza and food delivery gift cards because she has 4 teenagers.

It's the Breast-cancer awerness pink-out swim meet tonight, a local derby with the school Hebe should have gone to. Fortunately there were no t-shirst left in my size so I was not faced with the dilemma. And beest opted to fall on the sword. My hero. I'm very very very much aware of it, thank you. stupid disease. still. We're kicking it in the cunt, one by one.
/rambling. It's a beautiful day, friend is alive.

That post makes me smile. Go Beest! What a good man. What good people. Your friend is very lucky to have you all in her life, and women everywhere are lucky there are people like you.

speaking of wearing pink - my mom had to go to the ER friday and the paramedics (all dudes) were wearing pink T-shirts with the breast cancer ribbon. Pretty funny.

i find it difficult to express my feelings when a friend has cancer. i just try to let them know i care and will be there for them. sounds lame, but i so awkward with it

Sarge, that isn't lame at all. People know when you mean what you say. Far better to say less, and mean it, than to go on at length about how this isn't a problem at all because treatments are so good now that no one dies of breast cancer (they do - just not in the first 3 months), and how lucky the person is to be getting 'new boobs for free', and other faux pas.
Knowing that someone means what he says and that you really can contact him if needed is better than rubies. Don't worry about the awkwardness.

Sometimes the best response is, FUCK CANCER.
