Hey! How is everyone doing? Memorial Day was so beautiful! I was inspired to ride 16 miles down roads that I haven't been on since last September! Don't get me wrong it was long and ugly and I needed to stop often, but I did it! I took pictures of my animal friends that I pass everyday. Aren't they cute!
Today was chilly out on the road, but I managed to get in 8.25 miles, again, slow and ugly but done! As I was nearing the end of my ride, a car comes terribly close to hitting me. Not unusual, actually it is more unusual not to be almost hit when you are out riding the roads. I try not to be to irritated and my resolution is not to yell at the morons who do almost hit me and I no longer give the finger to those people who insist on blowing their horns at me or those who tell me to get on the sidewalk. But I am irritated with this woman who has no clue that she almost took me out!
I look at her license plate and the first thing I see is BC....so I'm thinking she's a blind Boston College alum! I keep looking at the plate and I see something pink! OH! NO!!!!! it can't be the RIBBON? I keep looking as the car fades away from me and I read "Breast Cancer Care" or something like that! AHHHGGGHHHH!!!
Now there is a Breast Cancer License Plate? Not that I am against raising money to eliminate any cancer, but there it is again! Please refer to first post filled w/ Breast Cancer rant if you are confused about where I stand on this issue.
Please note that I am a Breast Cancer Survivor.
Does anyone know how to get a license plate made for Ovarian Cancer????
Enough ranting for today, tomorrow will hopefully be my last chemo! In time..... 7:30am. Out time...anyone's guess!
Wish me luck!
A special shout out to Jean.. I am glad that you are well and thanks to you and Ann for helping me not feel alone out in cyberspace! We need to do lunch or coffee!
Deb,
ReplyDeleteI hope your last chemo round went well, and you'll be back on your bike - seeing your animal friends - real soon.
I'll beep at your exit on my way to Foxboro tomorrow so you'll know I'm thinking about you . . . Karen

ReplyDeleteI'm also hoping that your last round went okay - and that you will bounce back fast. Almost like old times in Group, now, isn't it? Couldn't find a way to contact Connie & Megan - it would be fun to chat with them, too.
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy to know that several states do have ovarian cancer license plate frames and I even found a special ovarian cancer license plate in Alabama - check out the image at this link (it says "Drive Out Ovarian Cancer" on it)

There was also an article about ovarian cancer survivors "storming" Capitol Hill in July '07 to request more funding for Johanna's Law (in an Ovarian Cancer National Alliance newsletter).
PS. My mom was trying to follow your blog but hasn't managed to figure out how to interact with it.
PPS. I removed the previous comment to fix a grammatical error, as I wouldn't want an English teacher to see it ;-)
