breast cancer is of course easy to diagnose early and very easy to treat if you catch it early-.:

Sounds like you had a great time sailing, and hey – can’t complain about 3rd place! I hadn’t yet heard the word, ‘complisult’, lol. I’d take it more like a compliment though, because 3rd place is a great accomplishment. Happy sailing!

Debbie, You’re a saint. Your suffering has enlightened. Many many thanks for that. Enjoy your garbage!

You are right, I have a hard time reconciling this “survivor” page. Perhaps that is why I took some left turns to ramble on about misuse of plastic and sailing, not that I don’t have a passion for both but that was not the original intent for sailingthepinksea. Maybe I am just like you. I don’t want to wile away my precious time considering what could happen. I am a genius at not thinking about it. It serves no purpose.

I do hope you do well and survive a second bout.

So – you don;t want to think about it or talk about it. how do you reconcile that with this page. Its an oxymoron.

I was brilliant at not thinking about it for 4 years – and I am glad i was. The fact it came back anyway is just one of those things, but I am glad I didn’t waste the years between.

Debbie — I’m so glad your year is almost over. You have been peddling hard up a steep and slipperly slope with oil spills all around. I know it’s silly of me to say, “Don’t let it get you down,” but that is my wish for you.
Fighting the plastic pounds didn’t kill you so therefore made you stronger, right? Here’s hoping the dumps are far, far behind you.

My New Year’s resolution has turned out to be a learning experience. I have discovered avoiding plastic all together — in this day and age — is not only very difficult but perhaps impossible. Want plastic or not, it comes to us in so many forms that it seem unavoidable, so I am hopeful when I learn of new technologies that make plastic less harmful to the environment and one step closer to a “perfect”. Thanks for the web link. I would love to learn more — but will I need remedial chemistry lessons?

I really enjoyed your comments. Many would have you believe that PLA plastic, the kind made from corn starch, is the answer to all our plastic woes but nothing could be further from the truth. PLA is getting a lot of spin but here are just some of the problems with PLA:
. PLA is made from genetically altered corn and is not fit for human consumption.
. PLA increases the use of pesticides.
. PLA does not biodegrade; it can be composted but only in a commercial composting site.
. Many commercial composting sites will not accept PLA as the plastic contaminates the compost.
. PLA is not recycled; most of it goes into a landfill where it does not biodegrade in a timely manner.

There isn’t a perfect plastic but there are plastics that are biodegradable that will biodegrade in a landfill environment. When biodegradable plastic biodegrades, it produces biogases, that can be used to produce clean energy. Plastics that utilize EcoPure, such as the ENSO biodegradable bottle can be recycle and when they end up in a landfill, they biodegrade producing landfill gases (LFG). There isn’t a perfect plastic yet but biodegradable plastics are a huge improvement over the other plastics currently on the market.

The boat is not only pink it is hot cammy pink with ribbons plastered all over it. I would think if a bass looked up and saw “that” he would beat his fins in a furry to get away from the PINK! It is something to behold and imagine it is a sight on the water. Funny to watch men eye the boat and shake their heads like it is a shame to have such femininity blazend upon such a fine man’s machine. Even though I am a diaper hanger at heart, not a stink potter, I promise you if I win the pink machine we will go for a wild ride to Humbug Cove before I can raffle the boat off again.
