Needs an obvious tag. Just reading the headline had me reaching for my black & white tube of gold.

You know they put ground up glass in there to hook you.

I knew some people who were addicted to Carmex.
 
2005-07-15 04:14:47 PM
Carmex addicts are the sickest. And they have weird pinkies.

Outtaphase: Just reading the headline had me reaching for my black & white tube of gold.

When you start going to the support group meetings, you can sponsor my wife? Those tubes are all over my house. I (half) jokingly told her I was going to by a dispenser of Chapstick tubes at Sam's Club and bolt it to the wall on her side of the bed.
 
2005-07-15 04:23:27 PM
Nabb1 - they actually have those? Sign me up! My best friend is also addicted. I hate it when I don't have any, and he uses his. I can feel my lips start to crack.
 
2005-07-15 04:23:29 PM
My family gave me a chapstick holder with a clip I could attach to my coat or keys because I am so addicted.
/have soft lips though
 
2005-07-15 04:24:59 PM
My name is Aj611661 and I am a Chapoholic.

Seriously though, if I reach into my pocket and find my chapstick is missing, I get a mini panic attack and my lips suddenly feel chapped. It's a damn conspiracy.
 
2005-07-15 04:27:59 PM
Thanks for reminding me I'm almost out!

The only time I get chapped lips is when I'm dating a girl who uses that crap on her lips.

/would rather not kiss her than get that bees puke on my lips.

when I worked at target, carmex was the top stolen item in the store.
 
2005-07-15 04:47:56 PM
I feel so much better now that I know I am not crazy! I have six tubes in my purse & a few baskets thru out the house with tubes in them and I also have one one clipped to my ID's at work so I am never without. My friends tell me I have issues.
Do ya think?

Suddenly my alcoholism seems all normal and stuff.

/never uses lip balms
 
2005-07-15 05:05:07 PM


this shiat is like crack to me. I use it to butter my bread. I have surrendered my body and degraded myself on streetcorners and dimly lit alleys for the sweet rush Nature's Gate [tm] provides.
 
2005-07-15 05:08:57 PM
But my lips hurt real bad!
 
2005-07-15 05:24:28 PM
Hey now, I only eat 8 sticks a day!

/actually don't use any lip balm
 
2005-07-15 05:59:28 PM
I have tubes of lip balm (and also moisturizer) next to my bed, in the bathroom, in my purse and at my office. I may only apply a few times a day, but I can't stand being without it.

Oh, and PSA: licking your lips only makes them more chapped. That's the problem I have with flavored/scented chap sticks. I just want to lick them off. My current favorite lip balm: Azida hemp oil lip balm, natural flavor. It's thick, waxy and unflavored.

/has dry, sensitive skin

Now that I think about it, my addiction started about 25 years ago in high school, when I used to go skiing 3 nights a week. After a few nights with bleeding lips I decided I'd never be without my precious again. That's a lot of f*cking Chapstick!

Damn you Suzy!
 
2005-07-15 06:26:19 PM
The more you use it, the more you need it. Your llips stop producing their own moisture. Evil!
 
2005-07-15 06:35:34 PM
I am addicted to the cheap medicated Chap Stick. It tingles!
 
2005-07-15 06:44:20 PM

I'm so glad it's not just me! You should see me digging in my purse for mine when I can't find it within the first second or two. I have them everywhere.
 
2005-07-15 07:55:03 PM
If that is true, I'd much rather kiss an addict than naysayers like suburban cowboy. But did I say I wouldn't kiss Suburban Cowboy?


Yes. Yes, I did.

/Now where's my chappie?
 
2005-07-15 07:57:41 PM
Chapstick is a gateway ointment.
 
2005-07-15 07:58:29 PM
I got your lip balm, right here!!!!
 
2005-07-15 07:59:02 PM
I hate the stains that stuff leaves on my pants.
 
2005-07-15 07:59:18 PM
It's described more like a fetish than an addiction.
 
2005-07-15 08:00:28 PM
It's true! If I use vanilla chapstick, I lick it off of my lips before it sinks in.

/Does that sound wrong?
 
2005-07-15 08:03:24 PM
i was on accutane when i was younger


a drastic necessity is sometimes confused with an addiction.

Seeing ankmcfly and NakedApe's posts in succession was a thing of beauty.
 
2005-07-15 08:04:16 PM
Before you know it the chapstick junkies gonna put it up their nose, arm, leg and most likely the ass. Hmm nice and slippery.
 
2005-07-15 08:05:24 PM


tingly
 
2005-07-15 08:06:13 PM
The only people I've ever met with "dry lips" were constant chapstick users who had the go the day without it for whatever reason.

It's the "stop picking at it" mentality that we (should have) learned in kindergarten.
 
2005-07-15 08:06:49 PM
Ohhhh... tiger *balm*!

"The best way is to gradually wean down," Cooper said. "Try to go to a couple times a day, maybe breakfast, lunch, dinner. Then try to cut one out, maybe over three to four weeks to get yourself off."

BWAHAHAHAAHAA
 
2005-07-15 08:07:16 PM
WTF? How old is everybody that cracked lips starts to become an actuall problem? I can see getting sunburned on your lips, or from wind or cold, but geez...

/never uses the stuff...
//dont feel a need
///slashy!11one1one!!

I make my own lip balm.

Ingredients:

1 oz white beeswax
4 oz sweet almond oil
1 oz alkanet root, diced


Boil alkanet root and oil, until oil is stained dark purple. (Alkanet is a safe, natural dye, can be found in most herbal stores). Strain out alkanet bits.

Now melt the wax in the oil. When it is fully melted, take a small spoon and get a bit, put it in the fridge. When it has cooled, test it for consistency. If it's too hard, add more oil to the mix. If it's too soft, add more wax.

If it's perfect, with a hard crust but a soft interior, take your mixture and pour it into your lip balm containers. Makes about 12 small pots. Color is a rosey pink.

For taste - if you want to add in flavourings, I recommend adding a bit of honey, or, some pepermint extract. But most of the time I don't bother with adding flavourants.

Warning - wax + oil can get superheated when you are cooking it, so make sure it never boils... or you will end up with pink waxy bits stuck to your ceiling.

That stuff is really addictive!! The cops just raided a crystal chap-lab that was running in the trailer down the street. That would explain the weird smells coming from that place.

NakedApe: I hate the stains that stuff leaves on my pants.

I hate the stains that stuff leaves on my penis gourd.

I use my toungue. Family and close friends sometimes comment that I bear a startling reselmblance to a snake when I do it.
 
2005-07-15 08:11:08 PM
I can't have a good nights sleep if I don't have lip balm on.

/Only uses it to bed.

What is up with the wacked-out grammar in this article? I mean, a lot of it is in quotation marks, so maybe that doesn't count, but still ... the writing is very odd.

Am I imagining this? I'm not really tired or drunk or anything.

/Grammar nazi, reformed

I buy a chapstick everytime i go to the drugstore. They just disappear the minute I put them away. I found one that was at least 3 years old. Just had to scrape the hard part and it was brand new!!! I needed it badly :(

My lips are dying I think. They keep peeling. Doctor, am I normal.

/big penis.
//not actually a big penis, just owns one.
///made you laugh
////or angry

It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.
It is by the juice of sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips acquire stains.
The stains become a warning.
It is by will alone I set my mind in motion.

All hail our orally fixated overlords...
 
2005-07-15 08:15:33 PM
Lip balm/chapstick is stupid... Most of the time (remember I said most of the time) chapped lips are caused by a bacteria that you trap on your damn lips with this greasy stuff and it continues to chap and you just continue to use the stuff.

Wash your farkin' mouth!

Apparently chapstick is a good way of protecting zippers against sticking, in a marine environment.
/as in zippers on a Bimini top
//on a boat
///read it in 'The Ensign', USPS magazine.
/// 'marine' not 'Marine'
/// I hate the sea, and all that's in it..

The tough old cowboy rode into town and pulled up in front of the saloon.

He dismounted, shook the dust off his clothes and walked around to the back of the horse. He then lifted the horse's tail and kissed the horse's anus.
The onlooking crowd couldn't believe their eyes and were thinking to themselves that the old cowboy had been in the sun just a little too long.

Finally someone plucked up the courage and asked him;
"Why kiss a horse like that that?"
"Chapped lips" came the reply.
"It cures chapped lips?"
"Nope. But it sure stops you from lickin em."

/Old as dirt.

carmex is highly addictive. trust me, cause i am addicted.

/been so for maybe 15 yrs.
