Hello all. "Tuffenuff" just posted about ring the bell. Made me think it would be fun to see where we all rang or will ring our bell.
I rang my bell in Torrance CA on June 22, 2012

What about you?

    bell
    Hi Billie,

    I did not get to ring a bell at radiation, but I did ring one at home and I ring it three times for everyone I hear about that completes radiation treatments. Ringing the bell makes our cat come to the door and the neighbors look.

    Best,

    Matt

    Cindy rang every bell.

    I didn't hear of it until I was done too. Did my Irish Jig dance qualify as a bell? Finished on April 3, 2012

    No bell at St. Peter's either
    But they did have a 'graduation' of sorts with a diploma. I decided to add something to it and knowing they did a diploma, had a mortar board on hand complete with tassel and a pair of Mickey Mouse ears. Everyone at St. Peter's Cancer Center in Albany heard about it! I graduated July 5th, 2012.

    Now if I could just start generating just a little saliva....

    Congratulations to my fellow bell ringers and graduates, may we all soon post our NED!
