    Default Jack Black Gets A Mammogram

    being a survivor of breast cancer, I am not sure I like this. Maybe I am just to sensitive.

    He's drawing attention to the fact that mammograms are important and for the men in our lives to make sure we are getting the testing for early detection and that it's nothing to be afraid of. I don't know how that's a bad thing. He's just putting a comedic spin on a serious matter. That's how men handle serious issues. I see nothing wrong with it.

    Ebbie you said that very well. Glad to see he's raising money to help fight this horrible disease.

    While I didn't investigate the link, males get breast cancer as well:

    My aunt that did the 3-day walk in honor of a fellow teacher is herself starting chemo next week. Lumpectomy went well.

    Thank you for the kind thoughts. She met with the wig person last week and seems to be in good spirits.

    Yes, they can, though it makes it a bit harder to see certain tissues.

    I remember having to do the wig thing. My insurance paid for one wig and I ended up buying 2 more myself. Merrill Norman in the mall(ft. wayne) has some very nice wigs.
    I wish her well. I am a 3 year survivor and I feel great.

    From that picture, it looks more like Quiznocomastia.

    and here i thought marijuana did it.....

    Dr. Ken Spaeth, physician and Research Fellow at the Harvard School of Public Health, advises that pot smoking might cause "man boobs," "Marijuana use impairs sperm levels and reduces testosterone levels leading to impotence, losing interest in sex and causing Gynecomastia"("man boobs").

    i guess one leads to another.

    Yeah, I gotta call shenanigans on that guy.

    I did a search on marijuana and "manboobs" and just about the only thing I could find was this guy's statement that pot causes them.

    I didn't find any clinical studies or anything else supporting his claim.

    In the same article, "Dr." Spaeth also claims marijuana is as bad as cigarettes, causes cancer, psychosis and a whole host of other ******** proclamations that runs counter to the majority of every study I've ever read about.

    I think "Dr." Spaeth has an agenda and is pushing it without any basis in fact.
