I have two membership cards I use often...my Costco Card and my Cancer Card! Dude the way I look at it, if I'm going to look and sound like this...have had to go through what I've gone through, Imma play the HELL (sorry H***) outta that card!

I got pulled over the other day for speeding in the town I had most of my treatments in. I was actually on my way to Starbucks and really didn't notice how fast I was going, nor cared really, and looked to see myself getting lit up by a city cop. When the cop came to the window and asked if I knew how fast I was going. I said "Yes officer, I was speeding. I'm a cancer patient and am late for an important appointment. I understand if you have to ticket me sir, but I really need to get there quickly. Here's my information, if you can just write me the ticket I'll be glad to pay it but I don't have much time to sit here." He said drive safe and good luck.

Now...if he knew that important appointment was with a grande hazelnut latte, he may have given me the ticket (or not!). Now I would say I feel bad but I didn't lie. smile I've used the cancer card to talk a certain coffe company, who may or maynot have been mentioned above, out of some really cool aprons I wear when I spin pizzas smile Again...never lying, that's not me...but I have a way of pulling heart strings laugh I think it's the puppy dog face I use when I tell them my story.

I find it funny and I'll probably be sent straight to hell (ooops h*ll) but the way I look at it is I've been there already and bought the souvenirs so I may as well get my moneys worth.


Gotta laugh at it and have fun with it, if not it'll drive you nuts.
