But with \u201cMovembver\u201d men feel they are more justified in letting themselves go.  \u201cWith work, kids, and everything else, it\u2019s pretty hard trying to look good,\u201d said resident Tom Potter.  \u201cI try to get to the gym once a week, but it just isn\u2019t easy.\u201d  Tom\u2019s wife Dana disagrees.  \u201cHe has plenty of time to get to the gym and take care of himself,\u201d said Dana.  \u201cHe simply thinks of other things to occupy his time.  Like not going to the gym.\u201d\n<!--more-->\nDana says that exercising is not Tom\u2019s only issue when it comes to his appearance.  \u201cHe dresses nice for work, but when he comes home, he immediately puts on old tee shirts, shorts or jeans.  It\u2019s not like I haven\u2019t given him nice casual clothes to wear.  He just doesn\u2019t wear them.\u201d  Now, with \u201cMovember\u201d Tom doesn\u2019t even have to worry about his facial appearance.  \u201cI love it,\u201d said Tom.  \u201cShaving is a pain in the butt, so it is great to not have to worry about.  In fact, somehow not shaving means that I am supporting cancer research for men, or something like that.  I haven\u2019t had an exam in a while, and I gave any money for charity we had to breast cancer research, but if me not shaving can save a few lives, well, I\u2019m not shaving.\u201d\nDana is not pleased with Tom\u2019s new look.  \u201cHe looks like he is getting ready for deer hunting season,\u201d said Dana.  \u201cAnd he has never even held a gun.\u201d  Dana says several Stapleton women agree.  \u201cIt\u2019s all over Stapleton moms, and my friends and I talk about it.  The men already look kind of crappy, and now this?  It is pretty silly, and I\u2019m not sure any of them are doing it for the right reasons.\u201d  Dana is excited to get to December.  \u201cI just want \u201cMovember\u201d over with.  Then I can get back on him for not exercising instead of focusing on his scraggly face.\u201d\n<em>Editor\u2019s Note:  So, men already have a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.menshealthmonth.org\/week\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Men\u2019s Health Week<\/a> which takes place the week of Father\u2019s Day.  Do we need a Men\u2019s Health Month?  It really makes men look petty and jealous as if we are upset that women\u2019s health dominates the month of October, so \u201cwe want our own month, too.\u201d   Guys, no need to be jealous of women.  We have the NBA, and they have the WNBA.  Everything doesn\u2019t have to be equal.  Furthermore, do the people that started \u201cMovember\u201d even know men?  Men can\u2019t be convinced to do things, you tell them once and they are either going to do it or not do it.  A week is plenty of time to hammer home men\u2019s health issues and guys will realize they should have a checkup or not.  Prostate and testicular cancer are serious issues.  In fact, in the US, 30,000 men will die this year due to prostate cancer, and just under 400 will die of testicular cancer.  Both diseases are highly treatable.  So, instead of growing ridiculous facial hair, get yourself a checkup, tell your friends and family to get checked, and donate money to <a href=\"http:\/\/prostate-cancer.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">prostate cancer research<\/a>. <\/em>\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\t\t\t\t<![CDATA[]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[128],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4286","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-issue-68","7":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4286"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4286\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stapletonion.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
