i just found this thread and love the research!
I blame my bc to my flat iron, something in the ceramic and metal has to do with it.

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!

Let me make it perfectly clear that flute lessons do not - repeat DO NOT - cause BC.
Did I mention that my sister is a flute teacher? She would never do that to someone. Actually I wonder if it has some protective qualities since we're 3 sisters and the flute player is the only one who never had BC.

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 really really sure, though that it IS really housework that causes it. Evidence? men hardly ever get it.

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.

brilliant! but we only got "the look" if we didn't do our chores, and it was never payday! but you might be onto something about tv. it was always on, even if no one was watching,particularly....

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!)

Alive4Five- love the pic!! LOL
I too took piano lessons and can find middle C- hmmm
Girls, wouldn't it be NICE if we got honored for all our research....we just MAY find the missing link...
If not we KNOW how to survive and that's to try to find JOY in the Journey!

Lololol...Patoo you are dating yourself. I remember those red and green screens too. That is too funny...0 -
wow, my sister is so lucky...right handed, did not suck her thumb, did not play the piano and could never find mid-C, did not do chores (I'm the oldest) and I sat close to the tv to change the channels...gosh my lil sis set me up...
Oh, and I did cut all the hair off her Barbie!
Though I'm glad my lil sis is c free! She did eat all her veggies

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

other people!

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.
0 -
maybe all those missing holes, is what may have prevented it! Now we'll never find those holes! those holes might be glommed onto some people, invisibly, protecting them like a suit of armor!

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

we had those fake hostess individual size fruit pies. what was IN them, certainly not anything real, including no fruit...
0 -
Su Z Qs were better than the pies.
0 -
Agree MelissaDallas.. loved those Suzy Q's... (ok, my mouth is watering now) AND I was sad when we moved away from a Whataburger that was nearby.
But the preservatives in all those ready-made goodies is enough to 'preserve' a Twinky for up to 100yrs!! lol But in turn, is a carcinogen to us! hmmm, it's a very real possibility of causing BC....
Colonial Bread here. Made excellent french toast....
kathec, lol, 'other people' is a REALLY good possibility!!

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

Alive - Several years ago our science/health teacher brought in a Twinkie on the first day of school. She kept it on her desk for the entire school year. It looked good the whole year! My younger sister had to have a twinkie every day (or else!). I got cancer, she is healthy. Go figure. J

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

i always did mean to try a fried one, now's my chance!
Patoo.... heh heh. See, mellisa! great minds do thik alike! me & sartre!
Anybody eat much spam, or fried baloney?
0 -
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

You have not lived until you have had a BBQ bologna sandwich

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

No, the pitmasters smoke those big chub bolognas. Slice it thin on a soft bun with bbq sauce & chopped onion.
There was a little bbq place in the back of an old convenience store by an apartment I lived in. The brisket was good, but the bologna was to die for. The guy I was dating at the time and I were addicted. That & a cold beer...yum, yum, yum...
0 -
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!

I am a big time foodie, fabulous & sophisticated baker, exotic cook & adventurous eater & shopper, not to mention an emotional eater...and way too fat...sigh...

Chub bologna is just the big unsliced sausages, like in the deli case. You can ask them to cut a big hunk, or some groceries have it. It's just unsliced bologna.
