Oh no, its all that Blue eye shadow and black eye liner that I wore in high school!!!!! The Farrah Fachet harido too!!!
Or maybe it was the fad that went through our school when I was in junior high....buy colored jeans, cut holes in them and then cover the holes with patches with sayings on them!!! I think this might lead into what some of you were talking about when saying Naughty!!!! My mom about died when I took my purple bell bottoms, cut a hole in the behind where the pocket once was and covered it with a patch that said "what you see is what you get" (that was the cool saying back then) but I dont think it meant what they would take as meaning now days!!!!!! It was bad enough back then, cant imagine the comments that would be made now!!!
Yep, thinking back, it was my junior high days that got me BC for sure.....might have been the stuff we smoked in my girlfriends garage even....maybe the stuff we drank in the cars at lunch time in the parking lot...or maybe it was that cutie that I made out with in the back seat of that car at the drive in....Hmmmm, now wonder I cringed when my daughter hit her teenage years? must have been afraid of that old saying about your kids paying you back for what you did to your parents...Thank God she didnt hear any of these stories until she was a full grown adult herself!!!!
This thread is great!!!! Brought many smiles to my face and memories to my heart reading
...Thanks

I have a new one...
I think we got bc from sniffing those ditto's... the teachers would make copies of the hand-outs with all the "pop quiz's" they would give us, and homework assignments...
Who didn't sniff the papers before taking one and handing the rest to the person behind her??
Maybe that had something to do with it...

You're on to something. Only I think it was the pop quizzes themselves that did it. Those darn teachers and their pop quizzes. Come to think of it, it could have been the tests and exams too. Yep that's the cause. That's what we get for going to school. I should have listened to myself when I wasn't playing hookie.......or maybe it was because some of us did play hookie too many times? Geez now I'm getting confused.
Now that must be it. I got breast cancer because I get confused very easily. Case solved. hehehehehe!

Oh, I never knew that anyone else rolled white bread into a ball to eat!!!!
Ever try mustard sandwiches?

Dottie,
We used to roll up white bread into balls to use as erasers for charcoal drawings in art class.
I like ketchup, mustard and pickle relish sandwiches since I am a vegetarian who misses hot dogs.

Not the Red M&M! They were my favorite. For some reason they tasted better than the others.
Favio (or however, you spell his name). Yeah, it's all his fault!
It can't be the stuff we use to smoke in my friends garage. You know, like the circle on That 70's Show. My onc. actually mentioned how it could help with some SEs so it can't be all bad!
Now that ditto machine I can see being the culprit. That wonderful purple ink that could make such a mess and absorb into your skin. But oh you were so cool if the teacher let you go into the office to use it!

Oh my gosh, I had forgotten about fried bologna sandwiches! they were the BEST. Do you remember how the bologna would curl up on the edges and then the fat would liquify in the little "bowl" the bologna made?? OMG....we ate it on WHITE bread with MAYO....
LOLOL

I got it: leg warmers in the 80s (y'all know good and daggone well you wore them, too!). I spent waaaay too much time thinking I was the lead character in "Flashdance." Perhaps those leg warmers did something to the blood supply to my girls...
But, I'm liking the Hostess snack cake preservative theory. Never into Snoballs, but I was a Twinkie fanatic - until one day my mom sent me a care package in college. The box of Twinkies in it had one that somehow got sealed in the middle of the cake instead of the end. Who knows how long the box sat on the Shop Rite shelf before she bought it, but I do know it sat in my dorm room for a few days before I opened the box. Wouldn't you know the unsealed part of the Twinkie was as spongie as the part that was sealed? Freaked me out so badly I never ate another one after that (I was in Philly, so I switched to Tasty Cake butterscotch krimpets-OMG!!)...
Yep, had to be all those snack cake preservatives that did it...0 -
Ladies - I have to agree with all of you as I too have done most of the things mentioned. It amazes me that so many of us can relate to so many of the same things we did in the past. : )

Layne,
I am not sure about the Earth shoes but it could have been the Dr. Scholls. Maybe something in the wood. We should be careful with the current popular Crocs too.

Well, nobody better ever blame my flip-flops!! No way!

Any of the posters we had growing up, maybe something was in them. Or shampoo? What did y'all use? Anyone else remember that one that supposedly had beer in it?
0 -
I remember using a shampoo called Halo.

Remember that shampoo called "Gee your hair smells terrific"?...
I too loved the bologna white bread mayo sandwiches...

hmmm....Earth shoes.....Dr. Scholl's....how about Birkenstock???

I got it from using t-fal pans, an occasional diet coke, and also an occasional crystal lite. Oh yeah, and lets not forget standing to close to the micro wave.
I have a relative that has told me all this.

I used to (ok, still do) eat only the frosting off of things like cupcakes, donuts, cookies. I'd then leave the then chewed-up item while I looked for more.
That must be why I got bc.And, no, I don't eat frosting straight from the can or bowl. It just doesn't taste good then!
Love and prayers, Deb0 -
Oh - my brother reminded me of another one. How about the drive in movie and the fact that they would spray the whole area for bugs when we were all in our cars!!!

I loved Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific. I used that and Prell and Pert.
Now that I think about it, it might have been some of the work I did as a teenager. I had a paper route and I worked at Burger King and ate way too much BK food.

You guys are hysterical.
Am I the only one who pulled the heads off their Barbies? If so, then it wasn't that.
Maybe it was the mashed potatoes and ice cream sandwhiches I ate every day for lunch in junior high.
Or the drugs in high school and the alcohol in college (I guess that's probably treading on the true).
It could have been Tab, y'know.
Or big bell-bottoms with lots of patches. Yeah, I think it was the patches.
Could have been the mercury that we used to play with when the thermometer broke (oops, uh, yeah).
It could also have been because I was too angry or not angry enough, to happy or not happy enough, too quiet or not quiet enough. Could have been because I didn't follow my dream of being an architect when I was 8, of going professional with my riding at 21, of spending a summer in Europe.
Oh well.
Some day they'll figure it out and do nothing about it.

Jorf, i wanted to grow up and look like a breck shampoo girl and then marry paul mccartney. omg...maybe shattered dreams do cause breast cancer!
ironically, his wife linda died of breast cancer....maybe she dreamed of marrying john, george or ringo....or davy jones.

Just thought of another one ....
Leaded gasoline!!
I think I'm doomed. I lived about 5 miles from the Esso (now Exxon) refinery and about 2 miles from the Merck Pharmacutical plant!! And I lived in the suburbs in NJ!

About them Crocs - I don't think they give us breast cancer, but I did hear they can kill you if you wear them on an escalator!
