Hey! I wore red yesterday! Slept in my red t-shirt and still have it on! Maybe I'll just go for broke, sleep in it again and wake up prepared!

I'm breaking out my red sweater tomorrow!

Great, now we're going to hear "she's wearing the same dress/shirt/whatever as me!" all day tomorrow. Good thing there aren't many women in my office.

We are doing something similar here in our office tomorrow. We pay $5.00 and can actually wear jeans (with a collared shirt, dress shirt or sweater and no tennis shoes)..... I'm doing this tomorrow!!! Thanks for the reminder.

We'll be wearing red here. We've done dress down days for cancer in the past, but its not on our schedule for tomorrow.


Just a heads up to those who live nearby. One of the parents of a 4th grader at our school has pancreatic cancer. We'll be having a fundraising Italian dinner on Sunday February 20th for the family. We'll be announcing the details on the somd calendar and in the local papers, etc. I hope that you'll be able to make it.

I work for the country's largest health care insurer, and we're suppossed to wear football jerseys tommorrow.

So... now heart disease is the "Number 1 Killer Of Women!!!" I thought that drugs... er... domestic violence... er... auto accidents were the number one killer? Man, I wish someone would decide what the number 1 killer of men, women, children under 12, children over 12 but working in the drug trade, female gay midgets, etc. are so I knew who to really send my money to. I get tired of hearing about how there are always four or five "NUMBER 1 KILLERS!!!" out there.

Well I have no clue...but heart disease is right up there. I am not asking for money either, just wear red that is all.
