Right there in the middle of my morning, my HOPE broke. Yep...my ancient MS Society ORIGINAL wrist band of HOPE snapped and fell like a lead balloon to the floor! I didn't "do" anything to it...it just JUMPED off my wrist in fatal escape. I take it as a *sign*...I think my HOPE just committed suicide...The "Society" HAS issued a new wrist band...in ORANGE, of course...with "Join The Movement" on it. Sorry, folks. No can do...I just can't sport anything with "JOIN THE MOVEMENT" on it. Makes me think I need to fart or hit the toilet to drop a load...OR...laugh hysterically...
(**pilfering through drawers now for another ANTIQUE wrist band...I'm sure I bought a thousand of these when they first came out...when fear, disguised as HOPE, was swirling around me**)

Thank goodness I don't believe in signs! :)
I like the HOPE wristbands much better than "Join the Movement" too just for the record.
"Hope" has not died, it's just been annexed by the BC crowd. We not only own "Hope", but we own "promise" and "cure" and the color "pink" and the act of walking or running. By next month we expect to have full rights to the words "dream", "courage", and "love". Although the Hallmark people are fighting us pretty hard on "Love". It may be a hostile take over.
Oddly, no one in the BC Cabal wants the word "Movement". It's all yours darlin!

I don't understand why they needed to change the phrase. If you can't find a new one I have about 100 left from when we did a fundraiser. Mitchell's just broke about a week ago. Does that mean something too?
"Join the movement" has bowel movement written all over it. Can't we score something better?
I agree that join the movment sounds like you need to excuse yourself to the ladies!
