I work in the breast care "industry," even, so I deal with and think about breast cancer all the time, and like you, thought I would be wise and strong and easy-breezy when I had to reveal a lump to my doctor and do the U/S, meet with the specialist.

It is a good thing the Saints had a crap team while he was their Quarterback or the Falcons would have been in real trouble. Archie Manning's claim to fame is "the best QB in the NFL without a team".

Thanks for the comment!<br /><br />You know, I wasn't really a fan of NFL football until relatively recently -- I mean, I didn't really understand the politics that you so eloquently describe. Oh heck, who am I kidding, I still have gut favorites. I mean, I love the Falcons, but I also liked the Colts but that was mostly because of Peyton. That probably turned you off completely, didn't it.Madame Queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05879021662076403965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-17391429519920031962012-05-02T12:14:41.235-04:002012-05-02T12:14:41.235-04:00Hi there.

There is one thing I need say as a former Atlanta resident and still a loyal Falcon's fan. YOU CAN'T LIKE THE SAINTS AND BE A REAL FALCON"S FAN! Yes I did shout that. Ahem. Back to my normal ladylike southern demeanor ;-). As a long time fan you must know that years ago when the Falcons sucked and the Saints were the Aint's they always battled it out for the worst team in their division. Since the best we Falcon fans could hope for was "not the worst team" you had to root for the Saints to be on the bottom. This instills a deep hatred for any team that might make my beloved Falcons look bad, usually the Saints. Follow the logic? OK, back to reading 2009 :-)LHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01512293622021600015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215479305770760888.post-70525722541547641102011-11-16T09:38:22.000-05:002011-11-16T09:38:22.000-05:00I kind of want to pierce my nose, too.
