Author: Comicality 13,014 Posted July 18, 2016 Openly gay since he was 13, Jack Andraka had to fight hard to get his work noticed after being turned down because of his age. But is now being globally recognized in the fight for early cancer detection in the pancreas! So kudos go out to our gay teens out there! Reach for the stars, and don't let them dismiss you! Not ever! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Author: MrM 4,366 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) This makes me feel dumb for being proud that I put together my new swifter all by myself this past weekend... Don't feel bad, CB. I never could get mine together good enough to work. I went back to things I could understand like brooms, mops, and old (clean) underwear dust cloths.
