Business cards, Terri

[Guest guest]

Terri, I ordered mine from www.Vistaprint.com. All I paid for was shipping, which was minimal. I chose this one: http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/studio.aspx?icparts=yes & cfs=-1 & pf_id=064 & combo_id=36335 & combo1=1011.90.1.||137|11429 & gallery_id=53 & phgp=1 They are so helpful! You can customize them to look any way you want. I leave them anywhere I think women will find them. I'm so glad you are checking them out! Patty Peake <peaketeresa@...> wrote: Sis,I totally agree with that statement, it took me 10 years to find out is was the implants, I was told so many things by doctors during that 10 year period but never did anyone mention it might be the implants, I stumbled on that myself. After hearing for years and then putting the thought out of my head that only silicone was bad, They never mentioned that they are all silicone, I was clueless, now everyday I run into sombody who either has them and are sick and clueless as I was or they know someone who is getting them. It seems this is a test. I didn't know that I would be an advocate but I

can't just keep my mouth shut, I hate that you feel people on the verge of getting implants still think that saline are safe. I don't want to talk people out of something but again I can't just sit by when someone brings up the subject. Does anyone remember where to get those free cards made up with the support groups info? I have to keep writing things down for people, it would be easier to hand them a card and let them look and then decide for themselves.Thank you to you all for your sweet words of encouragement,Terri P> > Hey Leyna,> > I am so glad you are feeling so energetic.
