Good morning.
Yes, it's that day of the month.
BUDDY BALL CHECK
And first thing in the morning when The Boys are nice and warm and hanging is a good time for that inspection.
If you search the internet for Cause Awareness issues, you'll find a plethora of things listed for each month. For October, the most well-known is Breast Cancer Awareness, the second is Domestic Violence Awareness.
Contrary to popular belief --- and articles touting the awareness of those two issues --- men can be and are victims of both.
So, while you do your Ball Check this month, check your pecs, boys.
And, if you are, or someone you know is, a victim of domestic abuse --- which includes sexual abuse, btw --- there is help.
Call the Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-7233 or
TEXT the word BEGIN to 88788 or
log onto the website for a live CHAT.

Another fifteenth of the month!
It's not going to make us any younger, but at least we've learned to do what we have to do.
Hugs and bisous my darlings Jean and Pat.
Have a happy Thuesday
What an important post!
Yay. I love my buddies. And I got an almost daily check at the prairie this summer... so, good to go! Kizzes.
No, mon ami, sadly it won't make us any younger. But wiser works, doesn't it?
Hugs and bisous.
Thanks. I think so, too.
True Buddy Ball Checks!
Most people don't think male breast cancer is even possible. I remember one of my class mates had to have one of his breast removed when we were in grade school back in the 1960's...not sure where or how he is now.....
Always be safe!
In grade school? How awful to have cancer hit that young. I hope that guy is alive and well today.
The Ball Check and Pec Check are a good way to do that.
