Let's conduct our own study on how we all got breast cancer

bettysgirl

earth born!! (had forgotten that!) Wore Charlie perfume.. and used a lot of the other shampoos mentioned...Well you know that there are studies out there that say cancer is caused by a chronic inflammation...SOOOOOO we used all those body building shampoos, the lather ran down to our breasts, plumped them up and BOOM  there's your BC...I guess the fact that i am right handed made more lather fall down the right side...BC!!

And I am the little sister...we ALWAYS get blamed for stuff we didn't do

I used to chew on the plastic things I made in my creepy crawler set.  I can still smell the burning melting rubber as it cooked and jelled.  Pure joy....but could be the culprit.

(Haven't been in this thread since June and when I logged in it took me to the page where someone said their sister bought candy cigarettes off Amazon last year and gave them out at Halloween to p*ss people off....several of us in my office are cracking up!  Love it.)

Did any of you pour elmers glue in the lid of your watercolor tray, let it dry and make fingernails with it? We chewed on dried Elmer's too.

Aqua net hairspray and listening to Duran Duran too loud.   If old rockers like the stones and the 80s hair bands can still have hair after all the hard living....every single one of us who went through chemo deserves our hair back!!!

every once in a while I get to catch this thread. Adding to favs. You ladies are really a breath of fresh laughter.....

I do think Canuck is onto something ..

I too used sun in, stole alcohol from my parents and adored Duran Duran, Corey Hart and Luved ice skating to AH HA.......

I am throwing Howard Jones, and Journey into the mix to......surely that has to be problematic. 

My number one problem, as pointed out by several well meaning friends and family, seems to be I used to place my cell phone in my bra strap to hold temporarily. ( I am a no or little purse kinda gal)

Remember to anticipate developing BC on the opposite side you place the phone...yep that's it for me.....

or is it I am named after my mother-seriously-who does that?

She set me up

OMG i forgot about the Creepy Crawlers set! we had a lot of questionable "toys" that probably have much safer versions now lol

i've been using body building shampoo all my life!! yikes! what about L'Oreal hair color? buying the old "I'm worth it" slogan...

Spookiesmom

Um, yeah. Those body building shampoos sure did build up my body! Didn't do much for my hair though. 

Alive4Five

notbuyingit - I believe you said something about the 'easy bake oven'  or the food made out of it...as a possible culprit?

spook- yeah..not much for my hair either!

glennie19

LOL!!  Great pic!!

Notbuyingit

LOL! she looks a little young to be baking with light bulbs...

No, that's taken after she got back and opened the easy bake oven.  See, whatever she was cooking exploded - it's all over her cheeks.

Notbuyingit

uh-oh, spaghetti-o's!! speaking of which....the Ol' Chef Boy-ar-dee,,,what's in that canned delicacy??

CanuckMom

Now you're talking!  The mini raviolis were fed to us kids every Friday night (from the microwave, covered in Saran Wrap), when my parents went out curling.  And we watched 'let's make a deal' and 'the price is right' with our babysitter.  

MelissaDallas

I wouldn't touch Spaghettios or Chef Boyardee except for the pizza kit.  We did a lot of the pizzas at slumber parties.

Spookiesmom

yum. Chef boyardee pizza with lots of green olives!!

The grands were on a spaghettios kick. Looked just as nasty as I remembered. 

glennie19

OH, those pizza kits. I loved those. And Progresso made canned ravioli that I loved. It was way better than the Chef's.

MelissaDallas

You know, those kits made a pretty good real crust with yeast. Toppings were't much, but not a bad thin crust at all.

glennie19

Yeah, I used to put extra cheese and stuff on it. But it made a good crust.

Spookiesmom

remember when the yeast came in a separate package and you had to add warm water, then wait? 

Anonymous

We didn't have pizza kits (or maybe they were there but we just could not afford them).  Chef Boyardee, yes, much cheaper.  Ewwwwwwww, what is that stuff anyway.  Almost as unrecognizable as CheezeWhiz.  Kraft Mac N Cheese, is that really cheese?  

Spookiesmom

years ago when I was a pup (I'm really older than dirt) chef boyardee kits, the yeast was seperate and you had to add warm water and wait f o r. E v e r

MelissaDallas

Patoo, the pizza kits were from Chef Boyardee & cheap. Yeast dough mix. Little can of sauce. Little can of Kraft parmesan. Voila, cheese pizza.

MelissaDallas

Spookie, sis and I made bread from the time we could stand on a chair at the counter, so we were used to waiting on yeast.

Tame Creme Rinse, pink hair tape, and the Mark Eden bust increasing device with the mantra "we must, we must... increase our bust.". Not to be used simultaneously!

Alive4Five

I can see the Chef-Boy-Ardee... and the pizza kit crust mix did indeed fill in nicely. But I know too well, Spook, about the warm water and yeast. Oh my... now you have me wanting to go make some home-made cinnamon rolls....

melissa- with you cooking and baking goodies, you are familiar with it too I'm sure! 

It better never ever ever ever end up being from cinnamon...did I say never ever yet?

MelissaDallas

My Dad laughed at the Mark Eden thing. He said it would just give you hard muscley little titties instead of nice soft little ones...

iowagirl1

When the bust enhancer failed to produce any results, my mom bought me a bikini with a strategically placed ruffle on the top.  Maybe it was the stress of being flat chested.

Alive4Five

iowagirl1 - definitely stress is a real possibility as a cause! 

Been thinking about nylons. Yep. Flippin nylons. Whether they were panty-hose, or thigh-highs, or knee-highs or nylon footies. Don't think that the Sears brand in Firm Control were ever found to be a risk.....you know....like the regular ones...

Ha Ha...the wonder unwire bra!  Very pretty...but very deadly...my niece thought it was the sexiest bra on earth...now genie bra from Walmart.:(
