Sorry I didn't mention this sooner. Instead I left you guys hanging onto the free Ben & Jerry's ice cream cone last Tuesday...
I'll be better this week.
Mother's Day is coming - May 14.
Don't miss the Mother's Day offerings in For Women Old Enough... store:
Mom's section
Grandma's section
I'll put more merchandise in these sections this week.
And, of course, moms welcome all kinds of gifts - they sure don't have to have "Mom" or "Grandma" emblazoned across them.
Consider what Mom likes, also her interests.
Speaking as a mom, no doubt your mom'd like some of that 1-800-Flowers I've got there on the sidebar here (look to your right, look down until you find the 1-800-Flowers banners, go ahead and click on them).
Yes, 1-800-Flowers is my new affiliate partner. ; )

Many Cancer Survivors Stop Mammographies
Many Cancer Survivors Stop Mammographies - Yahoo! News (AP)
And it's one of the dumbest things they could do.
It's seriously tempting for a cancer survivor to walk out at the end of treatment with the desire to never, ever return to that awful place again. It is like returning to the scene of an accident. It's too much like re-living a bad part of your life.
Sure it's scary. Scarier is letting it go, then having a cancer that, as a result, is more difficult - or even impossible - to cure.
Speaking as an almost three-year breast cancer survivor, I hate going, I really hate going. It is scary. But I know I'm better off getting my mammograms (and related blood tests) then if I don't - for the reason stated just above.
From the article:
This is a kind of magic thinking - if you don't look for it, it won't be there.
These women simply have to buckle on their courage and do what's best for them, what they need to do: just go!
Stop being wusses. Do the right thing. All in all you really are better off for it.
Also, remember ALL women over 40 are supposed to have annual mammograms. It just might save your life - probably saved mine.

A good thing to know.

Phony doctor gives free breast exams
Phony doctor gives free breast exams - Yahoo! News (Reuters)
What the heck!
"...man claiming to be a doctor went door-to-door in a Florida neighborhood offering free breast exams..."
Door-to-door?
Consider this: Just how stupid can a woman be to accept a "free breast exam" from some strange guy who simply just shows up on her doorstep...?
Even if he did do a fair impersonation of a doctor? Gyn/OB's doing house calls? Yeah, right.

Hurray - Feedburner works again
(I'm easily pleased.)
Of course when the Feedburner stuff/feed came back all the white was gone off my blog font on the Groovy Ladies Page.
But, never mind, it's fixed. : )
It's all good.
Time to make dinner already... Do you think after 9 pm is late enough?

Feedburner Strangeness; Earth Day!
For some reason Feedburner is not doing its job regarding this blog's silver button thingie at the "For Women Old Enough..." store and on my website ( http://www.carolynhmayer.com ), including the Groovy Ladies Page . Or, more importantly, the blog feed on the Groovy Ladies Page. Bummer.
I thought maybe it was me being a flawed Webmaster/mistress, but, no, the fault does not seem to lie with me. I'll keep my eye on this, and get it straightened out as soon as I can.
More importantly, April 22, Saturday (and every day!) is Earth Day.
Linking into my Earth Day stuff on my website: http://www.carolynhmayer.com/wazzup.htm#Earth_Day Lots of good Earthly info, especially "What You Can Do" - actions you and I can take NOW. Many of these actions are actually easy - sometimes we just get busy and forget. These reminders are a good thing.
Late for this year's Earth Day, but still good year-round, are the Earth Day graphics merchandise in the Earth Day section of the "For Women Old Enough..." store.
There are none of my own in there right now, but you can find lots of "good Earth stuff" from other CafePress shopkeepers there.

Man Trading Up From Paper Clip to House
Man Trading Up From Paper Clip to House - Yahoo! News (AP)
Cool.
Ah, the power of Internet. Add to it creativity, imagination, and the entrepreneuring spirit. Thinking outside of the box.
You hear about these stories in regard to eBay, but this business activity has been taking place in the barter section of Craigslist.
Be sure to check out the slide show that goes with this article to fully view the giant red paper clip at the center of all this.
Now, I've got to go look for some famous person on some of food of mine so I can auction the thing off on eBay and get rich... ; ) ?

Robot Birth Simulator Gaining Popularity
Robot Birth Simulator Gaining Popularity - Yahoo! News (AP)
I found this headline intriguing and just had to find out what this was about. Robots giving birth? Huh?
The article is basically about mannequin-like robots used for training medical personnel.
Yes, there is a "robot" who simulates a woman who goes through labor and childbirth, right down to delivering a little "robot" baby.
All in all this sounds like a good idea. And fascinating.

June Pointer of the Pointer Sisters Dies
June Pointer of the Pointer Sisters Dies - Yahoo! News (AP)
Too bad... Especially since June Pointer was only in her fifties.
The Pointer Sisters had such joyful music.
My favorite of theirs - certainly a joyful song:
Jump (For My Love) - the entire Pointers' album may pop up, Track #12 is "Jump" (just scroll down)
That's legal music just above - I have Rhapsody Unlimited - I won it at the eComXpo. : )

Everyone's fat but me, Americans say in poll
Everyone's fat but me, Americans say in poll - Yahoo! News (Reuters)
What's that saying? De Nile isn't just a river in Egypt?
These people polled are in full-on denial. It's almost funny, if it weren't so unhealthy.
Personal discovery: Pasta sticks to me - eat too much pasta one day and I can gain a 1/2 - 1 lb.! Perhaps others of you may have the same problem?
It's those darn carbs...
Unfortunately I really like pasta. Oh well!

New Things Around the Store & Other News
I've been adding a bunch of merchandise from other CafePress stores into this store - affiliates is what it is.
I've also created a new section called "FUN." Can't have too much of that, eh? Most of what I talked about in the preceding paragraph is in this new section. Right now find fun animals and food fun. I think they're neat - hope you do too.
More seriously, I've started a section about Autism Awareness, which includes several of my graphics, plus "TopicAds" for other CafePress shopkeepers' Autism Awareness merchandise. Note that included at the top of the landing page of the section are a couple of links about autism. I especially like that "What is Autism?" link because it's as if someone with autism is explaining to you what's it's all about. Makes it more real and personal.
April is also the month for Earth Day - April 22 - my plan is to make a graphic or two for that. If I don't get to that in time, I'll put others' Earth Day merchandise in here. It's too important not to do something about (anyone see that global warming TIME magazine cover story?).
Also, look for 1-800-Flowers to be on this blog and on the Groovy Ladies Page. I've just got to put the code in already. Along with a link to the Groovy Ladies Page!
I mentioned the CafePress current sale, right?
Coupon Code: Spring10
$10 off $50 Order
Until 4/13
Hope you're having a good Spring.
