I just got a crazy-cakes email from my mother.

About how using my cell phone is going to give me cancer.

She is a smart woman, WTF is she smoking?

Re: I just got a crazy-cakes email from my mother.

  • My mom sends me crap like that all the time. She's constantly telling me about stuff she :heard from Dr. Oz".

    Mmkay. I usually just reply "Snopes.com"

  • She is all worried about me because I'm considered "high risk" because I had a tumor removed last year.

    I told her it was also dangerous to play in heavy traffic.

    I love her and she is such a smart person, I just don't understand why she falls for this crap.

  • Sounds like she's just being irrational-overly-concerned Mama Bear.

  • It must've taken her a little bit to get into the overbearing grandmama's phase. My mom tells me stuff like this all the time. She won't put her cell phone in her center consel because she's afraid it's going to scramble her car. It scares me to even think about what she'll do if I ever get pregnant.

    Yes, very much.  It's cute and funny and just a hint of sad.  Ha!

  • I don't think it's all that irrational to try to limit holding a radiating item against your noggin when the jury is still out on long-term effects.

    I personally don't want to be the a-hole who says the people with concerns are crazy, and then gets a massive brain tumor when I'm 50.

    Ditto.

    I thought I remembered seeing this recently.  This just came out a month or two ago.  I'm not a crazy conspiracy theorist, but I don't think your mom is crazycakes for mentioning it

    And just FTR, I'm in Ashlee's camp that you're probably safe if you spend less than twelve hours a day on a cell phone.
