    New Forum Banners @ Bottom Of Forum - You Can Advertise Here!

    Hey Nifty! Can we run banner ads for causes rather than for products and/or services? Not political stuff, but, for instance, I'm getting more involved in ovarian cancer awareness. Would I be allowed to run a banner for that? Thanks - and I think this is a terrific idea! Beth

    Just wanted to update you... I gave my presentation last night and it was really well received. Thanks to all who gave input! On a not-so-happy note, though, I got a phone call yesterday and received the worst news I can think of. Mom's ovarian cancer is back. She's going on Tamoxifen to...
