If you want to give money for Breast cancer research, avoid buying pink products!

Please give your money directly to cancer research, if you want to help find a cure.  Those pretty pepto pink products only give a tiny fraction of their proceeds to help find a cure.  You would find a cure faster keeping your money in your pocket than buying trinkets and household appliances that you won't use.  All of the pink-tober product have a name, it is called pink washing.  You find pink products all year long, but mainly you will find the over saturation of breast cancer pink and Susan G Koman products in October.  Let me remind you of something far more important about October.  Do a self breast exam, get a mammogram, set up a physical.  Those things are far more important to do than buy a pink George Foreman grill!

What do I think of bucket lists?

Well hello there my dear friends,
It has sure been a while since I have written a post, or filmed a Youtube video.  I believe the last time I uploaded was in May during a visit to the Chicago museum of art. That was one of the Most lovely times I have enjoyed with my whole family.  It was an amazing time, My daughter graduated from Uni. at Loyola in the morning, my son was here with his future wife visiting for the occasion.  So after the graduation we set forth and took on the city of Chicago, going to the Museum, walking in the park, enjoying the best food the city had to offer.  It was a blast.  An incredible memory and one of the few items I have on my bucket list.  Many people have ideas about travel or sky diving or even some thing simple like Disney.
Those have never been my bucket items.  From the  moment I found out I had  mets bc, I knew my bucket list would only have a few items.  Enduring ones non the less.
I wanted to see my daughter graduate from University.
I want to …
