I used to make creepy crawlers and I'd chew on them! I don't remember the creeple people at all.
Also had an Easy Bake oven. We were doomed from the beginning.

How ironic would it be if they discover the color pink causes breast cancer.

The Creeple people were Awesome! Had large feet & heads- some had nails in them- or worms crawling out of them. And you could use a sequin or Jiggle eye in the eye socket...Then they had a hole to add yarn for hair.
Maybe ebay has a collectors set so you can see them. There are some closed Auctions with them right now- for a fun look.
I like Pink & wear it alot- Must be it!

Fisher Price "little people" surely fit into this puzzle somewhere!

What about "Sea Monkey's"? The smell alone........ Has to be it!
0 -
Oh, yes. Sea monkeys. they def. cause cancer.
Creapie Crawlers is what we did. Couldn't recall the name. brain chemo.
I def have problems with that. I especially notice it at work. 0 -
Couldnt be Peeps for me . My Sisters & I all hated them as kids & so we flushed them down the toilet every Easter. LOL

I think it was all that suntanning with skin slathered with babyoil.Or maybe it was those Bonnie Bell lip smackers.

I have sat here for over an hour reading this thread. My eyes are watering from laughing. Have to put my two cents worth in. I will agree with everyone on all of the causes of our breast cancer. I cannot however sit back and let anyone blame Loves Baby Soft! Loved that stuff! Hmmm, oh well I refuse to believe that one. Personally, I think this one was missed- when we were young it was the stress of that dreaded curfew! How could we possibly get everything done in one night with that hanging over our heads!
Still think it was Barbie!!

Nope you are all WRONG! It was DISCO!!!! All that funky music just zapped our boobs!.....Either that or the platform shoes you had to wear to dance to disco with!....At that height it's a wonder our boobs didn't burst from the altitude!......HEHEHEHEHEHEHE

OMG -- I ate elmers glue, sniffed the paper lithos (I still like to smell the inside of new books), Love So Soft (gee, and I only thought it was the phallic shape of the bottle that was evil), acnomel zit coverup, taking my bra off when I got to school so I had a good bounce with my polyester tops?? Could it be tube tops? But ultimately, I think it was my Barbie boob-envy, running my fingers over her boobs wondering if mine would be so nice.

I went to an all girls school. We didnt doodle on our notebooks.
I was a nasty bad kid who stole lied and what else is there?
I wasnt allowed to go out for Hallowe'en (but I did get a store bought costume) because it was begging. I loved those maple candies that you could only get at Hallowe'en. No red lips.
My barbies were hand-me downs and my new dolls were Skipper and Stacy....
I started smoking in high school because it was the only Club that would let me hang out.
I think I got cancer because I was ungrateful for the home my adoptive parents provided. And if you believe that one.... let me sell you an American bridge or wetland properties in florida.

I apologize... I haven't read the entire thread. Has a fellow sister yet mentioned the same thing that caused mine? I am as sure as the sun rises that it was that baby oil/iodine combo over -generously applied and slathered on every inch of the body. Then placing that body daily on the hot ocean beach in the hot summer sun from 10am -4pm . The reason the skin cancer didn't get me first is due to the aluminum foiled record album cover placed on my chest for better uv amplification.

I did baby oil/iodine and had an Easy Bake Oven and wrote Mrs so and so over and over. I drink diet soda and use Sweet and Low. I use non stick cookware and cook outside on a grill, as well.
My father had some mercury in his desk and I used to get into it and play with it. DOH.

I played with mercury also, but MY breast cancer was caused by my mother making me RAKE THE SHAG CARPET so it would all go one way. I had to use a plastic rake, I just know that is the reason! Tami

OMG Tami.
I had to rake our Shag Carpet too! Well now we know. LOL

It was the Color-by-Number - you know, where you had the colored pencils and had to fill in the pictures meticulously. It was small, precise work and very STRESSFUL. and as Ann also pointed out, EVERYONE knows (and is glad to tell us) that STRESS CAUSES CANCER!!!!!!!!!!
I rest my case.

Just found this thread. Thanks for the laughs!
But seriously, I 've often wondered if BC was from
diet soda - which I drink daily
microwaving plastics - stopped doing that
plastic water bottles - stopped those too
shag carpet, been there done that!
non stick pans , threw them away
breathing in air fresheners, etc
toxic cleaning chemicals
drinking alcohol - still do moderately
smoking - quit! YEAH!!
STRESS
While I'm serious about all of the above, I really enjoyed reading the comical ones! You ladies are too much!

What? Did she think we would be serious about this?

I'm going to vote for Stress and the barbie theory however I did eat some of those wax bottles filled with that liquid but, I just wonder if it could be not enough Happy Meals as a child????
Makraz I don't think it's the diet soda maybe just regular old Pepsi as until my diagnoses I drank between 12-24 a day no kidding drank nothing else and if thats the case I'm probably gonna have a reoccurance as I am back on them since my taste came back . Could be the hair coloring products LOL. Oh Congrats on the quitting smoking as I did as well 3 months ago.
Dejaboo, Peter Frampton could be, had that too and Kiss, maybe its the devil since I listened to Kiss.Cause you now how evil they were ,just ask parents from way back then ( Oh Crap I just dated myself) As for writing Mrs. So in So, I so did that alot matter of fact if that causes it I don't have enough Boobs for it to affect.

Bumping by request. I think this is the thread someone is looking for.

I wasn't looking for this thread, but now that I've found it, here's my list of the 10 most likely reasons why I developed BC:
10. Twirling a hula hoop (too much vibration in the chest region)
9. Swimming in water that was way too cold (I grew up in MN too)
8. Breaking off bits of Fizzies and eating them instead of putting them in water
7. Listening to rock music (which was forbidden) on my portable transistor radio hidden under the covers late at night
6. Sniffing Play-Doh
5. Sniffing fresh, damp, mimeograph copies
4. Chewing "wax lips"
3. Eating candy cigarettes
2. Playing with my Barbie doll
1. Kleenex*
*I've concluded that it must have been the Kleenex I used to stuff inside my bra. I have never, ever been able to find a bra with formed cups that fit my boobs. The top of the cup was always "empty" because my upper chest was too flat. So, I used to stuff a Kleenex in that top part to fill it out. That was okay until the time I was making out with someone, and he reached in there and ... pulled out a Kleenex. You should have seen the look on his face--and then on mine.
Anyway, it's the Kleenex because I even had a negative control for the experiment. My left boob was always slightly smaller and flatter on top than my right boob. The right one wasn't anything spectacular, but at least it was symmetrical. So, the Kleenex most often went into the left bra cup.
And, it's my left boob that developed cancer.

This thread is a kick in the pants and was from the beginning.
I've listed "possibles" on past pages since "07 but I am now thinking I got it from sleeping with my new shoes the first night I got them as a child. The smell of the new leather was intoxicating. Yep. I'm sure of it.

My vote is for the wax lips LOL

I think it was the chinese jump rope that caused it. We had to jump much higher than with a regular jump rope so it caused more of a jolting reaction. Watching the movie Billy Jack at the drive in also put us at risk.
