GRAVE IMPORTANCE. Inquisitive minds need to know!

Kudos to the people that just like voting! Democracy survives because of YOU!

*points*

Thanks!

I can think of about 5 people who I would share chapstick with, btw. Other than that, I would just suffer the windburn.... :lol:

I never use the stuff myself ... but I can think of at least 5-10 people I wouldn't mind sharing it with. One even happens to be on this board. And it isn't JT.

Sorry, 420, but you are going to have to get your own. :wacko:

*quickly puts chapstick in pocket and sits down* :lol:

I'm the borrower. :D

I have chapstick in just about every room at my house, in my desk at work, in my coat pockets and in my purse...
OMGosh does this make me a chapstick addict?

Quickly pulls chapstick back out and offers to Chex.... ;)

I rarely get chapped lips but borrowing a chapstick would depend on the person. I'd borrow from maybe 3 people and then I'd just slap that sucker to my lips.
I heard that if you have chapped lips but don't have any kind of chapstick just run your fingers down the *outside* :P of your nostrils and use the oil for your lips.

Ah crap - the OUTSIDE? Now someone tells me.

:o :puke:

:lol: :lol: @ 420! :P

I never have anything wrong with my lips (my jaw is another thing), so I'm voting with the majority.

Meh... I just like voting...

I'm like Ess; I'd borrow from a few select people, but the rest I'd use the finger.

:lol: @ 420

Well the finger thingy is for them. You still would get any of their ickiness, but they just wouldn't get yours.

...unless your fingers have the ICKIES. It's a serious medical condition in some parts of the world.

It also works to prevent blisters when you burn your fingertips. Faceoil. esp on the nose has a lot of vitamin E in it.

^ what i *really* learned iin college chemistry, besides effective bongery.

I would just stick it on my lips *shrugs* I'm not a germ freak.

Its not so much the germs, but that if they're sick and they use it, the germs STICK.

Then I get sick too :S I'm sick enough as it is!

And using your finger helps how?

I really should be a guy. Stuff falls on the floor, I eat it. Chapstick, who cares? I just figure I have enough stress in my life, why worry about the microscopic particles on chapstick?

I only do that with people I don't know super well.

Definately couldnt just ask a random...but most of the people I know Id ask. Its no biggie really....

10 people counting me voted for "I just like to vote" made me laugh.

The germs dont' bother me. Not knowing how many partners the chapstick had does. There are some poeple I really wouldn't want to kiss.

What on Earth are ICKIES..? :huh: :wacko:

Ickies include germs, dirt, um... boogers... rogue smears of homous, baba ganoush... you know, the usual.

You can count cooties in there as well.

Men have no perception of hygiene. Or at least I don't...
I personally don't feel the need to keep my lips hydrated.

But when they are all cracked and dry and bleeding, even males should do something about that.

I have a method....take the chapstick rub it lightly on the inside of my wrist (to remove others "ickys")and then use my finger. I had to get a gamma shot in HS because one of the guys in my singing group got Hep and we had all shared chap-stick. I don't think my method helps much in reality but it makes me feel better. :)

I know this will sound very Breakfast Club, but my real talent is in using public bathrooms without directly touching any of the bathroom itself.

That is a skill I will pass onto my daughter. Better than knowing how to put on lipstick with your cleavage.

:huh:

Wow. :clapping: I bet it saves you lots of trouble when you're camping too. That is a handy talent.

Oh, I also know how to help a kid pee or poop in the woods or beside the road securely and even in windy conditions. Minimal mess!

Boy, I'm just a wealth of useful information today, init?

:clapping: :clap: :clapping:

You probably wear blue jeans with your pearls.

Yougotitsistah! ;)

Agreed. Even my boyfriend, who, for the record, is the most irritatingly macho idiot I know (and I DO mean that in the nicest sense possible...) knows that he has to put chapstick on every once in a while otherwise lips start to get painful.

Very painful. Especially in Calgary with the dry cold -- I've been finding that I'm using more and more chapstick, because its so dry!

I have the same problem in Chicago it is so dry chapstick is almost as vital as chocolate (for me at least :P)

My only problem is that I never remember where I put my chapstick so I end up with chapped lips anyways :(

Yay Alabama! :P

talking about alabama... :P *starts listening to Lynyrd Skynard*
