An incredibly couragous decision. She has probably just single handedly reduced the stigma of masectomy by several orders of magnitude.
I am tempted to perform castration without anesthetic on those morons making comments about 'she is dead to me now' and mourning the loss of her curves.
I am sure if it was their wife/sister/mother/daughter they would not be saying 'go ahead and die, just don't touch those ta-tas!!'

Angie should have been the People Magazine Most Beautiful Woman!!!! Not Gwynth!!! Angie had this procedure done so she could be a Mom to her 6 children! And Brad was by her side the entire time!
I have heard of several women having this procedure done. Sharon Osborne did!
Kudos to Angie! I think the $3000 test should be included in preventitive medicine!

Given your performance in CTN NASCAR last weekend, you did the wise thing. You'll get the jackpot on at least one of those three tickets!

No one, which includes me, won the Powerball jackpot. It'll go to an estimated $475 million for Saturday, but I won't be surprised when it actually ends up over $500 million.

I bought powerball tickets yesterday, also! I heard 1 person, matched all 5 white balls, which is worth $1 million.
The pool of money rises to a high amount, since the price went from $1 to $2 last year per ticket, and adding California into the Powerball game! I like the Big Money Pool!!!!!

It's also known as the middle of nowhere. I imagine he's seen some pretty scenery along the way.
We drove cross country about 30 years ago going west on I-80 and returning east on I-90, IIRC. Some dreadfully boring terrain but also some very gorgeous scenery along the way.

After I graduated from undergrad, I flew out to LA, spent the summer in Phoenix, bought a car, drove out to Augusta, GA, hung out at Duke for awhile, then a couple months in Richmond, VA, drove up to Boston, across the US to Seattle, back down to LA and then back out to Charlotte, NC where I started my first "job" after college.
