Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Its funny that you all mention this because I own the domain name www.BreastImplantSurvivor.com and I have already begun constructing it with a purple theme and the purple survivor ribbons in the header. I should have most of it done soon and i plan on making it live by January. BTW The purple " survivor " ribbon is for breast cancer survivors and I don't think it inappropriate that we adopt it too. > > , > > > > As far as joining in on the discussions, you're > > there > > . . .

Guest guest Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Hey , that's great news about the website. Since the web seems to be one of the best ways to get the message across without being sensored, you can reach out to those who are either contemplating implants or have them and are sick. Good luck!! Sis > > > , > > > > > > As far as joining in on the discussions, you're > > > there > > > . . .
