THis is staying here until we get to 30! (New post below this one)
Ok, here's the deal...
It's the 17th!
Women: go do a self breast exam! Really! Not kidding! Go!! (Unless you have a regular time each month you already do this, GO NOW. Thank you.)
Men: Tell a woman. Email this, or something else or somehow remind someone you love.
THEN, leave a comment saying you did it! This is one place where good intentions are not welcome. I just want "Ta Da! I did it!" comments, not "Ok, I might later..." comments. Last month we had a total of 20 "I did its!", so let's make a goal for 30 this time. Y'all can do it!
(Myths)
In case you missed it, last month Shalee had this to say:
"Not to be overly crude, but Mr. Right does mine for me. That way he is SURE to remember and I am SURE it gets done...
So, I did it too.
Who's next?"
I highlight that particular method just for you guys, because Mr. Shalee is clearly a smart guy with a bright idea there.
Also, if you didn't follow the link from Nicki, do it now! It's really full of surprising information on IBC - something I'd never even heard of before. It's well worth your time, so please click away!

Your Comments
and hello? friends and family members who read and rarely comment? you have breasts, too.
i'd like to know you're doing this. consider humoring me. your email addresses won't be made public by commenting here, and you can come up with lovely little aliases if you'd like. (Aloha Ta Tas, you know who you are.)
I'm done! And I just got this from my bloglines, http://april1930s.blogspot.com/2006/08/it-looks-like-mastitis.html, check out the video link on this post. I had never heard of this type of breast cancer.
Aloha to you, too, dear HolyNiece
Since I think that I am your only relative who lives in the Aloha State, I am guessing that you coded message was for me to do the exam and let you know that I have instead of just reading your site everyday without ever commenting. Yes, I am the member of the family who hates to write--loves to talk on the phone--but hates to compose anything written except a signature on a check and now days what with debit cards,etc, that isn't required that very often anymore.
Yes, I have done my exam and when I go to my trainer's house in a little while, I will have my sister exercisers do the same AND then I will post the number of breasts that were involved--
I will Call you soon-- Love Holy Auntie Fran
Done! Thanks for the reminder! I never did them until you started this...now I've done one 2 months in a row!!! I'm such a grownup.
