When Worst
Fear Becomes
Reality, Find
Your Inner
Strength
By Ann
Pietrangelo
“My worst fear
of getting
breast cancer
was just about
to become
reality … I had
a gut feeling
about it.” It
was quite by
chance that when
rubbing the skin
along the edge
of her
bra one weekend,
41 year-old
Melissa
Stukenborg
Paskvan felt
something
strange.
As she inspected
further, she
recalls her
disbelief at the
discovery of a
grape-sized lump
under her
breast. By
Monday morning
she was on the
phone and by
Tuesday she had
a mammogram.
When the
mammogram failed
to give a
detailed result,
an ultrasound
confirmed the
presence of an
ominous lump.
Clearly not one
to sit around
wasting time,
Melissa
requested an
immediate needle
biopsy. A few
days later she
had an official
diagnosis of
triple-negative
breast cancer.
That gut feeling
was right....Read

Batwoman’s
Big Outing: The
Brief History of
DC Comics'
Lesbian
Superheroine
By Kevin Schultz
As many may or
may not know,
the comic book
publishing
titan, DC Comics
has
undertaken
the grueling New
52 (or DCnU...or
N'Universe)
concept, a
magnanimous
comics industry
reboot that has
stripped away
the familiarity
of beloved
characters we've
come to grow up
with and love
for decades, and
narrowed it all
down to
fifty-two #1
titles set to be
released this
Fall. This
venture was
considered a
pret-ty tall
order to force
upon the fans of
DC Comics; many
an online
message board
(particularly
DC's own) simply
exploded in
happy ways for
those tired of
the current run
of books...or a
really bad way
regarding the
scale of changes
being made...Read

Funny Bone
Joke Of The Week
A flying saucer landed at a gas station
on a lonely country road. The two space
aliens inside seemed completely
unconcerned about detection; in fact,
the letters "UFO" were emblazoned in
big, bold letters on one side of their
shiny craft. As the station owner stood
and gawked in silence, paralyzed with
shock, his young blonde attendant
nonchalantly filled up the tank and
waved to the two aliens as they took
off.
"Do you realize what just happened?" the
station owner finally uttered.
"Yeah," said the blonde attendant. "So?"
"Didn't you see the space aliens in that
vehicle?!"
"Yeah," repeated the blonde attendant.
"So?"
"Didn't you see the letters 'UFO' on the
side of that vehicle?!"
"Yeah," repeated the blonde attendant.
"So?"
"Don't you know what 'UFO' means?!"
The blonde attendant rolled his eyes.
"Good grief, boss! I've been
working here for six years. Of course I
know what 'UFO' means
'Unleaded Fuel Only.'"
