Bettysgirl - thanks for the giggle!!!!
Everyone, thanks for the memories and the giggles. Love you all.
Oh, yes, chewing on the tips of pens might have given me bc. After all, plastic...

Or, too tight jeans sticking up in my butt. Those bad bc cells had no where to go but up and take up residence in my right breast!

OMG-Saturday Night Live-could of been the cause - to much laughing at Rosanna Danna Anna--or could it of been The Goul getting his arm stuck in the toilet.......Hm-m-m-m We sure stayed up late and caught a buzz and just laughed all night. Maybe that caused my bc?

I got it!!! I got it!! It was the slinky. It had to be the stress of detangling it after my butt head of a brother played with it. Or maybe while launching it down the stairs it picked up on some EMF's from the electrical pole in my back yard.

I din't realize betty had boobs either...
Maybe it was laying flat on the floor in front of the "boob tube" (HMMM why do they call it that???) for hours on Saturday morning watching all those cartoons till about 11 when all the good ones were finished...
This is just reminiscing but i would love to sit and watch the Carol Burnette show on Sat. night, mom would scatch my back or roll my hair for Sunday...gotta Love Tim Conway!!!

OOh! OOh! OOh! I know! I know! It was all that nylon and rubber elastic we wore around our middles in the 60's!
First we had our undies made from that newly invented stuff, nylon. These were not what you would call 'bikini' style by any means. They were 'bloomers' by todays standards.
Over them we wore tight elastic 'step-ins' which were long legged corsets made of elastic, something like Bridget Jones wore, but longer. Then came the panty hose! Those darned things were too long from the waist to the tops of the legs and would gradually slide over the elastic corsets, down your legs, until you had half of them down around your knees to your ankles. If you put the panty hose under the step-ins, every time you bent over, (if you could) the step-ins rolled down to below your belly and made a peculiar shape out of your body, especially if you were wearing anything tight at the time. Ahhh, I remember it well!
And!! we wore all this with MINI SKIRTS!
In my opinion, having all that tight underwear on, squashing all of our internal organs together and up into our diaphrams caused the BC! On top of that we had to wear all of this rubber and plastic every time we left the house, we wouldn't be caught dead outside the house without it, no matter how hot it was.
Above all of that, we wore cotton bras with cone/funnel shaped cups, which pulled our boobs almost up to our chins.
Girls today have got it good!

Renee, you might be on to something with the EMF, it could all stem from all those experiments we did in chemistry and physics. Or it could be the fact that we made up new names for EMF and other abbreviations.

Betty and Aussie.....I think both of you may have it right.

Patoo- TMI !!!!!!! EWWWWWW That's a memory I'd just as soon forget.
I wasn't an all my children girl. I grew up of Days of our lives, the Doctors and the young and restless.. Speaking of D of OL, How many stinking times did Stepahno die and come back?????? GIVE me a break already!!! Seems like no matter how many times I took a break when i came back Stephano was back yet again....I remember when i thought i'd die if i missed a day now i can miss a yr and pick right back up almost LOL
My vote is for panty hose!!! NOTHING good ever came from panty hose!!!
I never was a leggins kind of gal cause even in my thinner days the thunder thighs looked horrific in those things!!! THANK you genes!!!!
Have a great day ladies!!

Dream love those soap lines. We missed you on Sunday
0 -
Maybe all those sweat beads that collected in our clevage and in the bra elastic caused a chemical reaction that ended up in BC....
Dream- I loved the soap lines too!
Patoo----wheeeeere are you?????
Heck it's been so long since the first page I can't remember where all we have been with this..so forgive me if it's been here before...maybe it was those jelly shoes.....OR espadrilles....YES has to be espadrilles...if not maybe it was those super high heels I wore in HS....don't know if it had a bad effect on my boobs but my poor feet are shot to h#))!!!!!
0 -
Yes, the high heels! It must be!. It threw our bodies out of alignment, making uour boobs jiggle in an unnatural manner so we got bc (as opposed to jiggling in a natural manner of course).
Oh, wait. I'm size AA. No jiggle, natural or unnatural. Scratch that theory.

Leah- that crcked me up- SURE there was jiggle!!! You just didn't notice it..
Of course if jiggling is the problem then of COURSE i have found the reason for my BC!!! (and not just the boobs)
0 -
Mum, I could not get there (no ride).
0 -
Noxema maybe? Or Dippity-doo?
But, yeah, it could have been the jiggle. Back in the 60's and 70's during the braless days there was lots of jiggle. Think I was okay as long as those nipples stood out straight but should have know when they started to go south that it was because they were filling up with cells. The jiggling made them bump up on eachother and so the edges became raw and they mutated into bc cells.

I love the scientific explanations....

Just checking in for my weekly laugh...patoo is still winning I think with the most suggestions....but the soap operas...hmmmmm. Sorry to say it wasn't all my children....we didn't get channel 7 on our TV.My newest theory..I think it was riding the subway in the summer to go to the beach.... a great experience before AC. We were so dumb we thought the subway was AC.
Keep smiling all
