Soror SummerChild,

It is a limited edition scarf by Lilly Pulitzer that was sold in October to benefit the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.
The Lilly Pulitzer Web site says:
Q. Can I still buy the "Get Tied to the Cause" breast cancer awareness scarf?
A. Most stores have completely sold through their allotment of scarves, earning over $1 million dollars for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. However, you can still purchase them through www.komen.org for a limited time.
Here's the one I have. I've seen versions in silk and in cotton:

Thanks Soror,
I'll look into that. It's gorgeous (of course ) and for a good cause.

i have a friend that recently joined your sorority and I wanted to get her something nice and I saw that mm's would let you personalize some of their candy. I was thinking about sending her some pink and green m&m's would this be ok? I would like to put some nice message on them, any suggestions?

Hi Burgertown,
A little known fact is that Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. women are people too. So we like alot of things that other people like. Surprise! If she likes M&Ms then get her M&Ms. Use your creativity on the wording, if any. There can't be that many options given that an M&M is not that big.

ETA: Why is it that Burgertown, you keep sending me PMs telling me my suggestion above was not helpful then apologizing for your PM?
Why is it that you keep PMing me?
Why is it that you think that I care about whatever you are writing me in a PM?
This is quite perplexing.
Look, as I said in my PM, use your *own* mind and figure out what *you* want to put on the M&M.
I am so perplexed as to why you are PMing me over and over again.
It is an M&M!!!

If A asks for advice and B gives advice. Then does it make sense for A to come back and say, no I didn't want you to say that, I wanted you to say something else? No it doesn't. Shoot, all this time that you have been PMing me, you could have thought up something to put on your M&Ms!

How about this for a gift: Why don't you tell my new Soror how you were cyberstalking one of her sorors for advice about what to put on an M&M. How about that for a gift? That might go over well.
