Movember

I have to go out and buy some skinny jeans or something. I'm gonna feel like such a hipster with just a mustache...

I'll send you the hipster glasses I used for my halloween costume so you're not so hipster naked.

I think that is really awesome that you are doing something to raise awareness.

I remember back in 2000 when my grandma first had breast cancer I had never known of anyone who had, but in the past decade+ so much awareness has been raised that I realise now that was mostly due to taboo about publicly talking about it. Now a days people are so much more open and I realise that the disease had affected pretty much everyone I know, whether personally, or by a loved one having gone through it.

We do not hear nearly as much about similar issues that have to do with mens health and the things that affect them and while I would like to think that this is because men have a far lower rate of being stricken with a cancer like testicular or prostate or such, I suspect and worry it is more because of stigma and taboo of speaking of it openly in polite company.

Having sons, it is certainly something I would like to make sure is open to discussion about without being considered embarrassing as well as that the research into cures and prevention are well funded.

So yeah. Good on you for doing something to help with awareness.

Thanks Amber!

So to donate money we go to your profile?

Yes ma'am!

I'll try to get to that sometime this week. I have to figure out my budget since I went a little crazy this past week.

Cool Thanks!

I just donated. I forgot to post a message on the page but basically my grandpa was diagnosed with prostate cancer a couple years ago and had to go through radiation treatment and take all kinds of horrible medication. He was fortunate enough to have caught it early and I was proud that he took the necessary steps to a full recovery.

Wow, I'm glad he beat it.

Yeah, it was strange to think that he had the cancer because he is so active, and in great shape for his age. I can't wait to give him a hug the next time I see him. I really miss my family. I love my job but I love my family more and I feel like I've been missing out these past couple months.

Sorry for going off tangent.

Anyway hooray for beating prostate cancer!

The ManArchy Team is growing. We're getting serious now.

I'll be posting an update pic this weekend.

And ManArchy is also doing an article about it soon.

^ Mods, are you gonna make this go away? I hates the trolling wordy thinga majig!

What are you talking about Winnie?

I deleted it.

Pete, progress pictures maybe?

I'm gonna trim up and post one today. I wanted to wait until after I go to the gym. Honestly, I'm finding a mustache embarrassing. haha

You need to curl that stache man.

It's only a little more than a shadow. I ain't curling nothing!

Having a mustache makes me feel like a tool. Don't mind the sweaty looking hair, just got back from the gym.

You're on your way to looking like Magnum PI hehe AWESOME!

Thanks Pete for taking that away. and I'm diggin the stache.

It's not too bad...yet!

I reckon all the ladies would still smooch you.

Sarah thank you so much for the donation!

Also, why aren't we facebook friends?

No worries.

I think we were but I unfriended a bunch of people when i was really miserable a few months back.

Ah okay. I went to thank you on facebook and couldn't find you.

Haha, Magnum Pete.
