    I used to chew on the plastic things I made in my creepy crawler set.  I can still smell the burning melting rubber as it cooked and jelled.  Pure joy....but could be the culprit.

    (Haven't been in this thread since June and when I logged in it took me to the page where someone said their sister bought candy cigarettes off Amazon last year and gave them out at Halloween to p*ss people off....several of us in my office are cracking up!  Love it.)

    Did any of you pour elmers glue in the lid of your watercolor tray, let it dry and make fingernails with it? We chewed on dried Elmer's too.

    Aqua net hairspray and listening to Duran Duran too loud.   If old rockers like the stones and the 80s hair bands can still have hair after all the hard living....every single one of us who went through chemo deserves our hair back!!!

    every once in a while I get to catch this thread. Adding to favs. You ladies are really a breath of fresh laughter.....

    I do think Canuck is onto something ..

    I too used sun in, stole alcohol from my parents and adored Duran Duran, Corey Hart and Luved ice skating to AH HA.......

    I am throwing Howard Jones, and Journey into the mix to......surely that has to be problematic. 

    My number one problem, as pointed out by several well meaning friends and family, seems to be I used to place my cell phone in my bra strap to hold temporarily. ( I am a no or little purse kinda gal)

    Remember to anticipate developing BC on the opposite side you place the phone...yep that's it for me.....

    or is it I am named after my mother-seriously-who does that?

    She set me up

    Um, yeah. Those body building shampoos sure did build up my body! Didn't do much for my hair though.

    notbuyingit - I believe you said something about the 'easy bake oven'  or the food made out of it...as a possible culprit?

    spook- yeah..not much for my hair either! :)

    No, that's taken after she got back and opened the easy bake oven.  See, whatever she was cooking exploded - it's all over her cheeks.

    Now you're talking!  The mini raviolis were fed to us kids every Friday night (from the microwave, covered in Saran Wrap), when my parents went out curling.  And we watched 'let's make a deal' and 'the price is right' with our babysitter.

    I wouldn't touch Spaghettios or Chef Boyardee except for the pizza kit.  We did a lot of the pizzas at slumber parties.

    yum. Chef boyardee pizza with lots of green olives!!

    The grands were on a spaghettios kick. Looked just as nasty as I remembered.

    OH, those pizza kits. I loved those. And Progresso made canned ravioli that I loved. It was way better than the Chef's.

    You know, those kits made a pretty good real crust with yeast. Toppings were't much, but not a bad thin crust at all.

    Yeah, I used to put extra cheese and stuff on it. But it made a good crust.

    remember when the yeast came in a separate package and you had to add warm water, then wait?

    We didn't have pizza kits (or maybe they were there but we just could not afford them).  Chef Boyardee, yes, much cheaper.  Ewwwwwwww, what is that stuff anyway.  Almost as unrecognizable as CheezeWhiz.  Kraft Mac N Cheese, is that really cheese?

    years ago when I was a pup (I'm really older than dirt) chef boyardee kits, the yeast was seperate and you had to add warm water and wait f o r. E v e r

    Patoo, the pizza kits were from Chef Boyardee & cheap. Yeast dough mix. Little can of sauce. Little can of Kraft parmesan. Voila, cheese pizza.

    Spookie, sis and I made bread from the time we could stand on a chair at the counter, so we were used to waiting on yeast.

    Tame Creme Rinse, pink hair tape, and the Mark Eden bust increasing device with the mantra "we must, we must... increase our bust.". Not to be used simultaneously!

    I can see the Chef-Boy-Ardee... and the pizza kit crust mix did indeed fill in nicely. But I know too well, Spook, about the warm water and yeast. Oh my... now you have me wanting to go make some home-made cinnamon rolls....Loopy

    melissa- with you cooking and baking goodies, you are familiar with it too I'm sure! 

    It better never ever ever ever end up being from cinnamon...did I say never ever yet?

    My Dad laughed at the Mark Eden thing. He said it would just give you hard muscley little titties instead of nice soft little ones...

    When the bust enhancer failed to produce any results, my mom bought me a bikini with a strategically placed ruffle on the top.  Maybe it was the stress of being flat chested.

    iowagirl1 - definitely stress is a real possibility as a cause! 

    Been thinking about nylons. Yep. Flippin nylons. Whether they were panty-hose, or thigh-highs, or knee-highs or nylon footies. Don't think that the Sears brand in Firm Control were ever found to be a risk.....you know....like the regular ones...

    mine was because of the stress of them being there at all, because i was such a tomboy, and they had kinda grew over night, and i was embarrassed about them, and started slumping to hide 'em, and grew my hair longer to hide 'em, and also began to carry books in front a me.
