Five things make a post

[rolanni]

1. There seems to be some disagreement about whether the Komen Fund has actually promised to re-fund Planned Parenthood. Sure they did. No, they didn’t

2. The bills for the Great Ankle Debacle have landed. Now, my wallet’s sprained.

3. Unfortunately — but fortunately! — yesterday (aka, before #2 landed) Steve was alerted to a sale at Tiger Direct, and I now have a 7-inch, 32-gig Galaxy Tablet winging its way to me.

4. Yesterday, was the Day of Reading for the 2012 Jim Baen Memorial Writing Contest. Today, is the day of cleaning up the house, followed by date night.

5. We have so far earned $48.50 for Planned Parenthood through sales of the cChapbook The Cat’s Job. Proceeds from the February sales of that eChapbook will be donated to Planned Parenthood. To cut out the middlecat and donate directly to Planned Parenthood, follow this link.

Sorry about 2)*sad face*
and congrats on 3)!! Let us know how it turns out!

Komen Fund

[claire774.livejournal.com]

From what I understand the Komen Fund says it will continue to provide grants to Planned Parenthood. The grants that they've already awarded. I'm under the impression that therefore no "refund" is necessary.

I also agree that the Komen Fund does not promise to continue to give grants to PP in the future. It just says that PP is welcome to apply. However I'm sure that everyone who watches Komen will be carefully watching them in the future.

I never liked the Komen Fund. their flashy pink ribbons and their millions of dollars in funds raised.....where's the cure for Cancer Komen Fund? They fund research at PA State U. I'm sure that means lots of experiments on hapless animals kept in small cages.

the most promising research at the moment is based on unravelling the genetics of tumors and then creating "vaccines" to combat that type of cancer. A friend or mine is in an experimental vaccine program in TX right now.
