A fun "non breast cancer" website...
for those of you wanting something OTHER than breast cancer to think about, a way to get BEYOND breast cancer and/or a way to get order and organization in or back into your life. BOY am I strange, the 3 support groups I belong to: HER2, Organized home AND...don't laugh people, but being born on Christmas eve AND that day being the anniversary date for the HER2 board, who could NOT love Christmas (this as we sit in 102 degree weather and I listen to my Christmas cd) the Organized Christmas websites...BOY I have issues.

Get organized? you are SO funny!
Rhonda, you are so cool. What a concept - that I might want to tear myself away from the BC world! What? A life? Getting an organized home might be a good start...

Rhonda, Why would you think ANY of us would want something other then bc to think about? In fact...it hardly crosses our minds. lol (I wish that was true!)
I think I can certainly use that website...its time I get busy doing many things around here I have put off due to dwelling on....& dealing with this darned diease. So any diversion is great!  I have enough to do here to keep me busy for longer then I would like to say. (Don't tell anyone though.) Thanks for posting that.
