Just my input . . . since I am getting more than one magnet and sticking it on every family members' car . . . we can keep with the same invisable idea but use Sandi's wording of "FIBRO--The disease you can't see." but write out the word Fibromyalgia.

This way it can be on a car of a loved one, etc. and it doesn't say that they have FM. Did you all follow that or am I completely confusing you?

I also need to see if we have a limit to the amount of letters we can use. I will get back to you on that.

HUGS! Amy

Sandi...here is another site you could check out to order from. I have actually in the past gotten fibro ones from here myself.

http://mysite.verizon.net/vze7yy89/index.html

The site is called magneticflags.com

Great idea with what you are doing!!!

These are some of the words I used in my poem about Fibro: Apparition, Microscopic, Invisible, Debilitation, Ghostly, Deceptive, maybe you could use these. Kaze

coffeebean, I went to the site you mentioned and there is no order form, no pricing, etc. just an email address. So, I emailed them about pricing. My question to you is ... how reliable were they and did you like your magnet? If you had no problems then I am sure they are fine; just a small guy getting his business started.

I really do appreciate the info ... if we don't have to "reinvent the wheel", then I am all for it!

***Update***

From the PM's I have and the posts here, I think we might have it narrowed down a bit more. If you want to add to these options, please feel free to do so. I am still working on pricing.

Option #1

FIBROMYALGIA AWARENESS - Just use an already pre-printed purple ribbon that says this. (See my profile picture for the exact one we would order.)

Option #2

FIBROMYALGIA--IT'S INVISIBLE, THE PAIN IS NOT

Option #3

FIBROMYALGIA--THE DISEASE YOU CAN'T SEE

Option #4

FIBROMYALGIA--YOU CAN'T SEE WHAT HURTS ME

Option 2 through 4 could be outline in black if we can get it or written in white so it would look "invisable".

Any others sugguestions, PLEASE? Also, keep in mind, I am trying to go with the majority here, if you really like your idea and I might have overlooked it, add it as option 5, 6, 7 ... I don't mind.

I am going to make a final decision soon so I might give everyone until this weekend to respond and take orders through Sunday, in order to get the weekend people a chance to order, then I will wrap things up by Sunday evening and maybe even have our first order in Monday's mail.

I want to get the first order, and maybe a second order if need be, back in time for FM Awareness Day on May 12.

By the way, the FM Awareness Day campaign slogan is Caring by Shaing. For more info go to:

http://www.fmaware.org/site/PageServer? pagename=community_awarenessDay

Okay, I think that is all for now. Please continue to give me any comments or suggestions or advice on how to do this better for you!

With love,

Amy
