On The Road To Recovery
"Mom, do they make Lyme-strong bracelets?"
And though I snickered at him and his dramatics, thanks to google I have found that they do in fact make a bracelet in support of Lyme Disease awareness. The only problem is that it stands for many other things:
Kidney disease, lymphoma, muscular dystrophy, organ donors, bone marrow donors, ecology, environment, ovarian cancer, missing children,childhood depression, glaucoma, tissue donation, and worker safety.
Putting aside the cynic in me who questions the reasons behind publicly displaying causes you support. How is anyone supposed to recognize what you are supporting? Doesn't it make the bracelets meaningless? Also, isn't the embossed phrase: HOPE, FAITH, LOVE, just a wee bit over dramatic for supporters of work safety?
So I made my own bracelet. Now there will be no doubts.
Get yours now. All proceeds will go to a worthy charity, my beer fund.

Chris, that cracked me up! Sheesh.
Is this the son that has been sick for the past few weeks?
I like the bracelet. Actually though I would not be caught wearing one. Sorry I know people love them but they are just a trend. Most of them anymore dont even support your cause especially when you buy them from the 7-11.
Hate the bracelets.
Ha ha! I'll take out. Can you make a dog collar that says the same thing? Tango and Murray hate ticks too.
I want one! Can you get them through cafe press? :*)
love it, but while i love your bracelet the rest of the craze makes me nuts. bleh.
hope he's feeling better soon.
Sorry to hear about the Lime Disease. I'll be praying for you guys...
ticks totally suck. that is the most appropriate one i have seen to date.
halloweenlover,
I just had a great idea... I could make these bracelets out of the same material as flea and tick collars. Fashion AND function ;-)
Ticks totaaly suck and you and Rob are totally like Brian and I when it comes to sick kids. We actually make each other nuts.
