When I was able to talk my mom into giving me a penny, it was a whole lot like gambling. You'd put your penny in the machine and turn the knob while cupping your hand under the little shoot in hopes a whole bunch of gumballs would come out...hah! you were generally lucky if one came out.Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954350958586337442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354778152505693948.post-33066780214025284472008-04-17T18:54:00.000-06:002008-04-17T18:54:00.000-06:00I love gum - gum is the greatest substance on eart...I love gum - gum is the greatest substance on earth!! You can chew it, pop it, crack it and blow humongous bubbles with it!!

At least twice a week he will turn to me while he's driving and ask me if I've got any gum.<BR/><BR/>Now why would I have gum - I NEVER have gum. In the 19 1/2 years that we have been together I have never had any gum to give him. You would think he would have given up asking by now...but I'll bet you anything, tomorrow or the next day we will be driving...and out of the blue he will ask me if I have any gum. I would actually be willing to put money on it!<BR/><BR/>Kind of cracks me up really.

I LOVE gum. I seem to have a very dry mouth. When I am having to talk to patients all day long, it seem to help with that. I also don't want to have alligator breath when I am close and speaking to my patient. I say that it is strictly for the benefit of them, but I really like the flavor also. I love Trident sweet mint. Yum Yum! I carry a pack in my purse, one in my locker at work, and one in my various different coats. Always want to be prepared. That is my motto!The quilting nursehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02558447325576468693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354778152505693948.post-63057500753120067772008-04-17T12:47:00.000-06:002008-04-17T12:47:00.000-06:00If I chew gum too frequently it hurts my jaw, so t...If I chew gum too frequently it hurts my jaw, so that usually stops the excess.

Then she slept with gum in her mouth. The next morning my poor underoos were covered in gum and my mom was spitting mad, lol.<BR/>I chew gum and I imagine I probably smack it just as loudly as I'm able, but if I catch my kids smacking theirs I make them spit it out. What a hypocrite I am.<BR/>Oh and I've had almost that same dream, lol.<BR/>It's funny...for some reason I saw a picture of a gum wall the other day and I felt faint from the grossness of it, hehe.<BR/>Oh here it is(((shiver)))<BR/>http://flickr.com/photos/wiedmaier/862049298/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354778152505693948.post-24809282726082545972008-04-17T11:39:00.000-06:002008-04-17T11:39:00.000-06:00Gum, huh?

I'm not a big gum chewer either, but I found this raspberry kind at Target and it's pretty yummy, although it only lasts for about 2 minutes, then it's like chewing wax...Michael Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842882189504334331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6354778152505693948.post-8940356628807889672008-04-17T10:33:00.000-06:002008-04-17T10:33:00.000-06:00Sounds to me like you're feeling stifled or unable...Sounds to me like you're feeling stifled or unable to communicate in some way.
