Well, that does it. I'm going to INSIST that my kids dress my granddaughters in purple and my grandsons in green. I have to protect my family!

But then you must be careful to not promote Male Leprechaun Syndrome, which can lead to wasteful pursuits like chasing rainbows and pots of gold!

I was looking to buy a desk chair on the internet. I found a great one with the seat and back made of bungee cords. It came in black, blue and breast cancer pink. The black cost $300, the blue and pink cost $150. I liked the blue, but when I tried to order it I was told it was no longer available, my choices were black for 2x as much or the pink. I actually would have simply kept searching for another chair, but I thought it would JINX me NOT to buy the pink, so I did and was diagnosed 6 months later, but with DCIS, and I am sitting on the chair right now, so go figure.

PINK!!! I knew it....Dippity Do...with the hard rollers with Bobby pins. And I slept in them for special occasions...ok coming full circle ....my chemo nurse was Indian and her name was Dipti (know I am spelling it wrong) ...but she told me to pronounce it like Dippity Do....A CONSPIRACY!

SEE - not Mom's meatloaf!!
I also did the full Dippity Do - giant rollers topped with a hair dryer with a giant bonnet. I used to fall asleep like that - my poor parents were terrified I'd set myself on fire. 0 -
Too funny I had forgotten about the dipity do.I wonder how many of us used that green gunk.

Patoo ~ I LOVE the housecleaning one.....but unfortunately I can't say it was housecleaning and have people believe me!!
At least the people that have been inside my house!

SG, yeah, they wouldn't believe me either if they come into my house.
I also used dippity-doo although it really didn't work well on black womens hair.
Julie E - you may want to offload that chair on eBay or Amazon. But then, no, because you would be selling it to someone else who may later be diagnosed. I suggest you just put it in a corner somewhere and pile all your pink stuff on it. It can become a memorial to healthier days.

I remember Dippity Doo!!!! lol!!

Maybe it's shopping....that's why women are more likely to get BC.... if that's it I will save lots of $!!

I wonder if it was because I used to lick the ice cream bowl. Can't say I regret it though.

Hmmmmmm, was at Cracker Barrel restaurant last week and just remembered that I saw they had the candy dots on paper and also the little wax bottles filled with liquid sugar. Do you think we should alert Cracker Barrell to remove them from the shelves since I remember some of us thought eating those may have given us BC? I think they also had other candy from 50 years ago as well that may need to be recalled.

Are the wax bottles related to the wax mustaches? I think we had a discussion awhile back about the link between BC and wax mustaches. .
0 -
Don't remember. Did the wax mustaches also have sweet juice and you chewed on the wax after drinking the syrup inside?

The dots on paper were CANDY??? so why did I feel so spaced out on them.....
Thanks for reviving this thread, Patoo, I needed a good laugh. 0 -
Yes hymil, I'm talking about the dots that were candy. Are you thinking about the dots on paper that the love-children of the 60's snorted!!!!!

The Pink shag rug? Red M&M's? Or maybe just red food coloring all around, I think it was recalled years ago. Probably the wax bottles and Barbie dolls, we all seem to have had those. No lead paint or asbestos in my little world. Maybe the years and years of working in the auto business? All those fumes from the body shop must have drifted my way. That's probably where all the red dye went to, auto paint.

Uh, maybe I am too... (were you meant to snort them, i knew something wasn't quite right cos they tasted funny...) my memory's not what it was.....! or maybe I'm getting sugar intolerance, can you get that? PAPER, that's it, I must have used too much paper: at school, at work, in the library, all those till reciepts and gas-bills and cheque stubs, those fun dots... it wasn't the "sugar", (ahem!) it was the paper! Ah well, now we have the paper-free society and everything is on-line, not only will all the trees be safe, but also we won't have any more cancer.

37, I'm sure pink shag rugs have a lot to answer for: carpet burns for a start.
0 -
Uhhhhhh, why the burns, hymil? Hmmm, probably you didn't know what you were doing after you ate the paper! Yeah, good thing we are paperless now or you would definitely be a goner.

I squired a light bulb with a squirt gun when I was a child and it exploded....a shard of glass went into my arm, could be this....or all that fluff I ate, or maybe it was all those toxic fumes I breathed in art school, but I did play with barbies and play outside all day. I even grew my own peas, maybe that was it!

I also played with plastic Barbie, but it was probably from the Ken doll, Barbie would never give us BC. LOL .. I have wondered if it is from all the second hand smoke I was around as a kid. All my relatives smoked, even in the car with the windows rolled up. I also wonder about all the hormones in the food, being the cause?

I think Barbie did give me breast cancer. I used to stick pins in her boobs so just the head of the pin showed, giving her nipples. BC is her revenge on me.

You all are just not getting it - it's housework. I'm never doing it again so between arimidex and no housework my chance of recurrence is wayyyyyyyyyy down. (but then probably the dust bunnies will get me - can't win!)

I didn't play with Barbies, ever! What am I doing here. Maybe "secondhand"? You can get BC if you grew up in a household that had them? Both my sisters had Barbies.
etherize- I remember learning about vodoo dolls from watching a Gilligan's Island episode. My brother & I tried it, not with a Barbie but one of my sister's other dolls. You might be on to something- shouldn't pratice vodoo without proper training.

Hi We did Ouija board. Hope that did not cause it. Sure was fun to play. SharonH

I never thought about house work causing it, so I better knock it off and let it go. Yay, more time to read, and be on here with you wonderful ladies :O)
