Livestrong Bracelets

To answer your original question, you can try ebay (although, you maybe end up paying than one costs). Here is a search on Livestrong:

It seems like this sparked some anger in people - if you don't like the bracelets, don't wear them. Who cares if other people wear them and why they do?

I know a few people who wore those bracelets. Never had the slightest indication they were shoving anything down my throat. It's making a statement certainly. "Hey I donated a dollar to help fight cancer". I don't really think anyone is going to get any moral superiority out of donating one dollar, do you?

Besides, a big part of the appeal of the bracelets -- and therefore the reason that they sold so much and raised so much money for cancer -- was that statement. Without it, no money raised.

Can't have it both ways, Joey. Face it, people who do these kinds of things (like those who pay extra to have a Polo logo on their shirts) just want to join the Cool Kids Club, they don't want to be left out of being able to show off that they support cancer research.

In my case, my neighbor asked me to wear one as a sign of support for him until he dies (which likely won't be very long). So I suppose I'm showing off my compassion to others, but every time I look at the bracelet I'm reminded of many things, least of which is my ego.

"Joey"?

Sorry I don't see it that way. But I know only about 6 or 7 of these people so all I have to go on is my experience with them.

which is why you've bothered to tell us all about it.

I put on the bracelet when they first came out (June 04), and said "I will leave this on until it falls off" I had no idea it was going to be as big as it was, I didn't know it was for Lance's foundation...I just thought it was a cycling/lance/TdF thing. The running store I got it from bought a box from Nike more or less as a favor to the sales rep...no one had a clue. Half my family has either died of cancer or has cancer, I'm pretty sure I'm going to die of cancer...I don't wear the bracelet for anything other than I'm waiting for it to fall off. I also have another bracelet that I wear that represents the last day I went to church...thats over 3 years too. Who really cares why anyone does anything? I occasionally sport a cock stud, who cares?

I wear mine simply to annoy and piss off pussies like Weak and Nice.

You've failed at that, then, too. Not that I speak for "nice".

Agreed!

I don't know about that, seems you're pretty annoyed with Swedes and now me or you wouldn't keep posting. And to follow-up on an earlier comment. Is school out already? Weak/Nice (which you are probably the same) does your Mommy know that you are using her computer again? Get off the computer and do your homework.
