Boy, the nuclear bomb slide shows takes me back. A friend of my parents had a bomb shelter built in his house. It was a cement cylinder...he had food, water, black lights and psychedelic posters on the wall. It was hidden behind a bookshelf. You'd press on this one spot and it would pop open. Most awesome house ever.
He's a lawyer...i should sue him for his bomb shelter causing my breast cancer somehow....those black lights couldn't be too healthy.

if we could teach lab rats to dance, it would be fun to test that theory.

I think it was growing up in a houseful of women, 5 girls and mom, all that PMSing and pulling eachothers hair, also having to share a room and wear handme downs! Or could it be from watching Tiny Talent Time every Sunday along with Lawrence Welk?? I loved chewing wax lips and my mom's wax candles, boy was she mad to find bites out of those! Could have been from hitch hiking all across town or sneaking out to the school dances with my boyfriends and listening to BTO on 8 tracks while having a doobie. Naw....must have been the necking when we used to go parking and fogged all the windows up or those mosiquito coils we put in our tents to kill everything.How about writing lines and standing in the corner? I loved my Levi's and bell bottoms and earth shoes so it can't be that. Must have been because of riding double on my sweethearts bike with the banana seat and monkey handle bars......that's it!

Ms Viv - obviously DCIS is caused by 5 girls and mom in the house....cause that's me, too! (I'm the middle one.) Wax lips. My mom's car had an 8-track, and she got BC, too!!
Either that, or the incense at church.

PAM!.....That's it!!! Being the middle child! So am I...LOL......got it all from both sides....no chance!

Ooh, black lights and posters, now that brings back memories! Maybe it was the strobes and black lights mixed together...

I ate those wax lips, little wax bottles, crayolas, birthday candles, and artgum erasers. I also played in mosquito fog and my dad sprayed DDT in the yard and garden regularly. When in college, I changed my major, even changed colleges, because I became addicted to smells of oil paints and turpentine. Later I drove through crop duster spray (pesticides, herbicides (agent orange?) and fertilizer many times on my way to and from work over a period of 17 years. Also worked for more than 40 years with lead based paints, lead solder, solvents, and kiln fumes (most of the time with no vent). Oh yes, I almost forgot, a dh that was a heavy smoker for more than 20 years. And yes, I am old as dirt, but bc still SUCKS!!!
'scuse me, I think I need a beer. Uh oh, maybe that is it.

Hmmmm...wax lips maybe, but I was thinking I might sue the company that made those candy cigarrettes! I'm sure that's what did me in! It was the red dye they used to make them look lit!

Wearing patchouli oil, burning incense, drugs, drinking, not enough breast feeding, worrying about BC, getting mammos, cleaning the toilet.

Hey Viv and Pam,
I think we've broken the code! I am one of five sisters, too, and the middle one to boot. There was also Mom, Dad, a little brother for good measure, and a live in Grandma. Almost every family on my block had a live in grandma when I was growing up. All were full blood European something or other. A few Italian, A few Polish and one Swiss. The area was blue collar, first generation American. We were/are still not far from the world famous Levittown, the great post WWII experiment in suburban housing. Now let's see, could the BC be that we were allowed home made red wine with dinner on sunday, mixed into the cola? Could it be that we all got our period before age 12? We all did run behind the "Bug Bomber" truck, right inside the fog cloud, right after closing the windows in the house so it wouldn't get inside. Go figure. This is a funny thread.Maria

Sorry...I'm the oldest of 4...so we can put that theory to bed.

Fumi: you have answered my question as to why I had BC almost 5 years ago... "I've heard that you can get cancer by being too naughty." LOL0

4th child, but middle daughter, so you might be onto something there! At least a higher risk if nothing else!

Oldest of 8 kids, 5 girls (!!!) and 3 boys.
12 years of Catholic school. Incense at Mass. Eraser dust. Bomb shelters. Wax lips. Candie cigarettes. Real cigarettes. Barbie dolls. Thai stick in the back of my cousin's van with the 8-track. The frustation of endless necking in high school. Or was it finally going all the way in college? Jean Naté. Patchouli oil. Ortho Novum. Tear gas (college in 1970).
OMG, Viv -- not only did I watch Tiny Talent Time -- I bombed out on the local audition version of it! That must be it!

AWWW Shoot Ann......The devastation of bombing the audition musta been it, I guess an acting career wasn't in the cards, hope you have a memorable tape of it???

Ditto, ditto, ditto........................ I think we are on to something !Probably "smokin'" all those candy cigs didn't help either and playing hide and seek in those DDT fogs was the best...

I'm thinking "tickle" deoderant, Love's baby soft perfume, and Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific shampoo combine to make a potent carcinogen. That coupled with Dittos jeans and a tube top are a recipe for disaster.
And we can't forget Pringle's or Pop Rocks.....

I LOVED LOVED LOVED the way Gee, Your Hair Smells Terrific smelled...maybe I overinhaled! :bitesnails:

Oh man I forgot about Tickle deodorant! And Loves baby soft. I had a Loves Babysoft Tshirt.
What a fun thread!
Lets see- My friend & I when were were like 5 & 6...Would eat the leaves of this tiny green weed that grew on the north side of their house...It had little yellow flowers & the leaves were very very sour. How we figured that out in the 1st place. I dont know.
0 -
I remember those plants. . .tasted sort of like a pickle. . .what ever possessed us to eat a weed out of the lawn!?!
I think it was the Dippity Do reacting with the orange juice cans we used to roll our hair with.
0 -
Boy, Sam, you hit a nerve with me on that one. I used to pull my hair up on top of my head in 3 large orange juice cans, and I loved Dippity Do. I always wished I could swim in it. I loved the color and the way it looked.

Whoever said the easy bake oven. I agree. I think the light bulb baking the cakes caused me to have cancer.
Oh, and when my son was little, he had the lightbulb baking toy that made bugs and worms. I helped him with that too. OH boy, I guess I got a double dose.
This thread is too funny.,

Creapy Crawlers? or Creeple People? I loved Creeple People the ones you baked in the molds & then put the arms, Feet & heads on a Pencil.
I had a Easy bake oven too.
