I've got it! I've got it! Anger. Yep, between the stress associated with being pissed off, and the actual 'anger' itself! I am beyond pissed right now, and I can just feel the cells multiplying!

notbuyingit - All's well....now... Everyone has one day like that once in a while...I know I am not alone in that!
I have, on the other hand, besides, anger, partners/spouses, peeps in general... But what if everyday that ends in 'Y' is a possible contributor??? Crap! Who of us stood a chance...smh

with the pink tape?
i have been reading a few more pages....i did eat snow, jump rope & use those crazy pink sponge rollers &, oh, yes blue eye shadow...but I never walked in on parents having sex, unless i blocked it lol
on the darker side - i have had a conspiracy theory ever since they told me my BC had probably been there for 5-6 years ( I have ILC not easily detected til digital mammos) you see i had a biopsy scare 6 years before on the same side - they said it was nothing. But i maintained - what if they planted the BC? crazy, right? but hey million dollar industry has to show results, right? someone who has a scare is most likely gonna follow up with frequent mammos - cancer will be found - another case for statistics & for research - nobody dies - no harm no foul. Maybe another woman gets her boob lobbed off & goes through a hellish year - but now you've got one more example of the Pink Survivors & all the fund raising that goes with it...i know it's ludicrous & hope to God this would never happen but this was the road I went down when I was first diagnosed - I had none of the risk factors...
back to the lighter side - it was probably red twizzlers i've always been addicted...

notbuyingit - I can totally see the conspiracy theory. hmmm I mean Nothing is beyond the realm of possibility these days!
Not too sure about the twizzlers.... I am thinking those tongue depressors used by every freakin Dr. I have ever been to!
patoo - I know right? My mother used the snotgrass out of that stuff, and then did it to me!!!
But one more is that I used to love the smell of exhaust from the vehicles! Not as much as my DB, who would lay at the back of one while it was running and pass out. He never got men's bc though... still......

The pink tape! OMG, it makes so much sense now - it's was pink before pink was 'trendy'. (Cheryl Tiegs must be so proud of this ad... )

LOL!!! THAT PICTURE!! LOL!!!!0 -
that's it!! OMG! she looks like she going to eat it! lol
reading a few more pages it was definitely either the bologna or the birth control...
but it DEFINITELY was NOT anything or any way anyone acted or treated people or any kind of a punishment - altho i do have another theory (sigh) that people who are not that bad get to do there penance here on earth through various tests & trials....so maybe...we all get a free pass to heaven??

AZ - That's it! That IS IT!

Ok, hee hee, but I'm the one who gave my sister the Toni and she does not have BC! So did getting all those perm chems on fingers do it...or just the wanting my sister to have frizzed curls to match mine...hummm
Maybe it's a curse from squeezing my wide size 7s into her narrow size 8 shoes...she did always have the glitzy shoes...me barefoot ))

maybe it was the breastfeeding...good for baby but not so good for the momma? I remember having trouble with feeding from the BC side way back then...anyone else? After that it was always smaller.
then twice - while going on the Aitkins diet - i developed cysts in that breast that had to be aspirated - no cancer but they were large & scary. They said there was no correlation between the two but it happened the same both times.

RM - Those Toni perms...yep...that brand especially!
notbuyingit - I breastfed too! OMG! And mine got smaller afterward too! hmmm, I breastfed five kids... Wow. I too had a knot in my twenties, and I of course panicked. But, they aspirated and it was.......milk. HA! A clogged milk duct! Whew!

notbuyingit, though i do admit the same idea has crossed my mind about the trial being here on earth. with all of its attendant joys and miseries, i felt like god would everybody, and i mean everybody the free pass to heaven, yes, all, because if we think they dont deserve heaven, then WE are being judgemental, and if so, then it truly is lucky we each arent minor gods. then think of all the damage we could possible do. personally, i think i got it from worrying too much, or not enough. never been good at ANYTHING, for just the right amount. i want some o that pink tape, again. it was easy to pull off, even hair. prolly a case of them getting something "too right"!!!

Ok, i have to ask - anyone else consume a lot of Special K? i have eaten it almost every morning for breakfast 7 maybe 8 years now...most favorite is the Red Berries....please don't let it be the K
0 -
LOL! Notbuyin! You got THAT right about any boobs left! Not much I can tell ya! And oh YES do I remember the sore/bleeding nippers! Me and child would cry together! Ha! Oh the pain!!!
I'm not sure about the Special K... but I do have to admit I love my cereal! Cold or hot really. But I have had my share of the Special K, and, what with them telling us how 'good' it is for us...well...pffft...what the heck if they were lying? We are screwed!! But, I have consumed enough cereal to kill a horse! heehee

OH, gosh, just remember funny dog story. I was walking Ava one day and I was really tired and not paying a lot of attention. We run into a mom pushing her young one in the stroller. Ava likes babies and she went to sniff her. Then she starting licking the baby's hands. The Mom had this horrified look on her face: "My baby has been eating Cheetos." And I said: "Oh, that's OK. Ava likes Cheetos."After we walked away, it dawned on me that she probably didn't want my big ol' dog licking her baby's fingers!!

See? Even dogs love Cheetos!

Y'all inspired me. I had to go to the little deli downstairs and get a sandwich and bag of Cheetos for lunch.
