    Herbal Essence Shampoo. Neutragena soap.

    Wait a minute, what are we saying. That the 70's caused breast cancer?

    Can't be the 70's that caused cancer,,, I think more chemicals were developed in the 80's,, thus I will blame that decade!!  There was much better music in the 70's than the 80's anyway.  Happy

    There is great music in the 60's and in the 70's,,, not as much in the 80's.   IMHO.

    And i will wear some flowers in my hair.

    I have long said that children of the 80's are brain dead (my children and their friends) so with that said, the 80's had to be the culprit. OR my dad used to complain about how strong the Charlie perfume was BUT you could smell him coming and it lingered after he left....can I blame it on cologne exposure????

    Last on the 80's kids.... I was born in the 70's but raised in the 80's....then again, most of my tastes come from my Dad and are reminiscent of the 40's and 50's....

    Gift Wrap! All that pretty colored paper, ribbons, bows. And scotch tape - what makes it stick and how did they make the tape invisible? Yeah, same way they made those little BC cells invisible until they attacked us and showed up in our scans.

    I loved the smell of scotch tape. And leaded gas. I sense a pattern here.

    OK, if smells can cause cancer, mine is the smell and taste of fresh homemade bread. Or maybe it could be from stuffing my face with it. Oh dear, I did that yesterday so I guess I'm heading for trouble again. J

    Radical is onto something! The envelope glue could be it. I licked all my wedding invitations in 2004! I'm surprised I didn't end up like George's girlfriend on Seinfeld! And I lick all the Christmas Card envelopes too.

    I could have also got it from my fav 80's perfume...Calvin Klein Eternity. When I was a kid though I was jealous of my little sisters strawberry shortcake perfume and I would steal it and put it on!

    Plus I love to bake, so um loads of sugar, flour, butter....all the good stuff!

    And who can forget the TASTE of phisohex. Impossible to scrub your face without tasting it. YEch! That's gotta be where the BC came from-Phisohex

    Fresh bread? Uh oh. I'm in deeeeep. I was a school Baker. I made fresh dinner rolls for 600 students, daily!!!! The kids wouldn't eat them if they weren't perfect. So I deformed a few for me. With a pan of hot melted butter, oh, never mind.

    Spookiesmom, my folks & sister are teachers. I have an old cookbook put out by the "cafeteria ladies". I make the "buns" regularly, but not for 600. Has to be Red Star to have the extra yeasty taste.

    My sister & I baked from the time we could stand on a chair at the counter. I'm in big trouble...

    MMM, spookiesmom thank you so much for being one of the "good" cafeteria ladies!! Worth your weight in gold! At my school, someone was gifted with the best buns ever! In high school, I was always hungry! no money, though, or only enough to buy a piece of chocolate cream pie, while surreptisciously pocketing a deep fried burrito. Oh my god, I lived on them for for years! i think the "lunch ladies" looked the other way. Sometimes they would give me apples and bananas and oranges. They were so good!

    I have an extensive collection of perfumes, and i will still not stop wearing them, my favorite is anything by Escada.

    workwise, i love the smell of Bondo in the morning!

    Kathec, I've been exposed to the luscious smell of Bondo as well...since mostly men seem to get that exposure, I wonder if you're on to something no one has picked up on?

    Bondo is tremendous! I use it to patch wood and metal on houses, haven't used it on a car yet. I do use it in my art a lot though. It is chockful of volatile organic compounds, that reminds me, i better go get some! I think we used the last we had patching some dry rot at the bottom of an outside door on our house a couple weeks ago. And since they messed the whole thing up, and it is getting harder to find oil paint for houses, they will probably stop letting them make bondo, that would be awful! must...hoard..some now..

    Never heard of Bondo. Googled it and it's primarily for cars. Phooey, was thinking I could use on water damaged lower garage door but it's too extensive. Also looks like it needs to be mixed and so might cause BC.

    patoo, i DO use it to patch and repair metal AND wood! I will go and see if I can find some before and after pictures in my photos, to show you what it can do. Its pretty amazing, and I have used it in great big chunks of missing wood, termite damage, and these windows that needed to be repaired, ones that would be too expensive to replace.
