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

Aha, hard work, I think we said it early on, hard work, or was it house work???  Either way, hard work causes cancer in your kids so MelissaDallas blame your parents, and house work that we did just caused BC to come out full force!  (thanks for the pic.  next time I see someone with an instrument stuck under their chin I will know it's there)

kathec, you have my blessing as well.  We probably don't know the right people but I bet your MO has connections.  Just make sure he shares the take, and residuals, with us.  (how do you print out a thread anyway?)

Renee51, your DH doesn't have it because he, being talented, learned to dodge the middle 'C'.  Too bad you married him after you had already been exposed.

thanks, patoo! i really don't know how to yet, but i had wondered before if i may. cause some of these are truly hilarious, and that can't be bad for anybody!

Leah, my DH will be so thrilled to know that! As he's the flute player, and I, as I stated earlier, TRIED to play Piano.

kathec...go for it! I'm in! Silversmithing? That sounds awesome...but could it have also contributed to our DX's? But, like Patoo said, we all get a cut of the take when the MO gets his Outstanding Research Award! 

hmmm...pianos....or housework, curlers, or flat irons, hard work or flutes, nekid sunbathing or violins or bass guitars... wow, the risk factor just went through the roof! See how much research hours have already been put into this? It has got to lead to some kind of substantial proof.....right?

I am afraid housework may not be the "direct" cause of cancer. When I was assigned chores, I could earn up to 20 dollars a week in my early teen age years. My brother who was 8 years younger wanted to earn money too. So, being the entrepreneur in my family, would "subcontract" him to do my chores for 1 dollar a week. I watched TV instead. Every "payday" he would complain about all the work he was doing, I said "find, don't do it." But, he always did.  I wonder if watching TV caused breast cancer, all those old fashioned rabbit ears might have had a laser beam aimed at my right breast...... or maybe it was just karma, I do my own house work now, BTW. But those early years when I ran my own business, sure bring about some very fun family conversations. My parents had no idea, I was so brilliant. 

Ohhhh, another candidate were those red and green screens we put over the black/white TV.  Bet the energy coming out of the TV through the carcinogenic plastic had a role.  Can't remember but maybe my sisters sat back further away from the screen whereas I always sat right up on it (extremely near-sighted!)

Lololol...Patoo you are dating yourself. I remember those red and green screens too. That is too funny...

'Wonder Bread' 

All the chemicals and preservatives that were put in our food, water and air.

No, we had Taystee bread.  There was a reason, that escapes me right now, why we did not get Wonder bread.  Was it the Taystee that they took the 'holes' out or was it the Wonder?  Hmmmmm.

Texas girls ate Mrs. Baird's bread. We've got Whataburger too. 'Nuff said.

Su Z Qs were better than the pies.

Kath, Sartre had it right, "Hell Is Other People", at least to an introvert.

So now that they are back maybe we all should go out and buy twinkies (and invest in Hostess stock!)

patoo - Im in! Oooooooh, you meant 'stock' as in $$... *wink*

kathec - I stand guilty of both, and fried hot dogs, and....... well, canned corned-beef. All of which were/are guilty pleasures!

Jan - yeah, it figures...lol, but, I cannot say good-bye to all of those lil goodies...maybe I had better, hmmmm

OMGG! bbq balony?  doesnt it stick to the grill? i can see it now, skewered w/pineapple,cherrie tomatoes, and pearl onions.

i had never seen the chub before. that does sound good! there's about 3 threads i'm on right now, all talking about food! so, let us just hope talking about food is what keeps bc at bay!
