Maybe if needed the poppy can be attached to the shoulder, where it involves less contact with sensitive breasts on men and women.

Well, usually mine goes on my coat. It stabs me when I go reach across my chest for something or if it starts falling out and reenters the coat or just whenever it feels like stabbing me. It would be worse if I wore them on my shirt or transferred them to my shirt when I took off my coat.

This happens to me as well.

Sadly I haven't picked up a poppy yet this year. Either I'm not getting out enough or I'm not paying enough attention to my surroundings but I haven't seen a box yet. I'll see if I can alter or replace the pin in it this year as I hate getting stabbed by it.

Unrelated but if your into history road trips, McCrae's house is in Guelph Ontario, a bit south of downtown. Nice park area and its a nice walk to downtown which is kinda nice for shops pretty with all the old stone buildings which is a bit uncommon in most Canadian cities.

Actually, I was thinking about applying to U Guelph to do grad work. I might have to check that out.
