Hannah, Ry's mom, is thinking about starting a CF related cafepress store to raise money for next year's walk. Her and I have been working on it, and we came up with 8 designs, although 2 of the designs have a lot of variants.

I wanted to know what you guys thought of them, as I have the perfect test audience right here. Do you like any of them? What kind of products would you like to see them on? Which ones do you like?

*nervously posts link*

Add something like "*GASP* LUNGER COMING THROUGH", or "lung oyster machine", or "I'm not breathing heavy because you turn me on, I have cystic fibrosis", or "Doc Holiday wasn't the only cool lunger, I cough up blood and own a gun too (or any variation thats humorous regarding doc holidy, because he was THE man)!", or "This isn't a Darth Vader impression, I have cystic fibrosis", or "Hemoptysis is for lovers", or "If you think i'm ugly, you should see what my lungs look like", or "Can vacate a crowded bathroom in one grunt", or "Hardcore is coughing up pure blood just getting out of bed", or "My mom and dad had sex, and all I got was this crappy terminal disease", or "Want to lose weight? Ask me about my clogged pancrease", or "Everyone has a crutch in life. You are stupid and I can't breathe", or "Orange oil doesn't just come from cooked meats, ask me where mine comes from (or "where mine is right now")", or "I wheeze on the first date", or "Pneumothorax makes sex interesting", or "High on lack of oxygen", or "My bacteria could kick your bacteria's ass!", or "Wheezing during sex isn't just for old people anymore!"...


I could sit here all night and come up with messed up suggestions. I would personally buy several of them from you if you had messed up sayings on them, similar to what I suggested. After the main text you can have (like you have on some of the others on your photobucket link) the "Fight cystic fibrosis" below it/off to the side and below it.

I love the one about the cold too, and some one I love has CF. (The angel ones are lovely and made me cry).

Sean missed his calling- should have been in advertising. ....all I got is this crappy shirt. LOL

Great idea Allie.

my son/mum/dad etc is an angel is very touching. the pic of the lungs is very attention grabbing and what most people associate with cystic fibrosis, in the uk anyway. most people know it's to do with the lungs! from janetXXXXXXXXXXX good luck in your endeavour!

I like Debbie's
"Cute and dying - better act fast"

tho' mine would have to read:
"He was cute and dying - acted fast and never regretted it"

then there could be:
"Cute, bright, dying, and in a hurry - catch me if you can"

to which I could wear the:
"He was cute, bright, dying, and in a hurry -
glad I caught the last leg of the journey"

and really Rip was and I am more
"Not dead yet" people (that saying is "taken" tho')

I actually like them all. I tend to be drawn to "Dont take Breathing for Granted". Although it refers alot to CF it covers any COPD & gives a little kick in the butt to the smokers......No one truly understands how frustrating & scary an illness that doesnt allow you to breath is until you have been there & done that!

Love the lungs one and the cold one! The lungs one brought to mind a bumper sticker I saw on vacation last year -- It said "Recycle Yourself, Support Organ and Tissue Donation"

Liza, there are a lot of organ donation ones. I ordered one recently. Very simple, says "Organ donation saves lives, be a hero, be a donor." I love that thing ahahaha.

Allie, I told you which ones I liked. I'm going to have to agree with another poster, SeanDavis, you missed your call in advertising. Ahahahaha. So d*mn funny. And I really like the one (I think Lisa posted?) about "cute and dying, act fast." I'd so wear that. LOL *loves terrible humor*
