Tingling sphincter bump.

No, that would be Preparation H addiction. That's a whole 'nother thing.

Oh yeah.

My lips have always tended to get really dry and chapped, as far back as when I was a kid. Plain old vaseline doesn't do much to help.

I apply it maybe 12-13 times a day. 50-60 seems excessive.

I apply it about four or five times a day.

Due to the fact that I'm in a very hot, dry cimate.

But I don't feel all panicky if I dno't have it with me or anything. LOL

My addictions need to be a little exciting. I like peeling paint chips off of walls and munching on them. Mmmmmmm.....

Only the leaded paint will do, though. The more modern kind is too wimpy and doesn't pack enough punch.

(Yes, I'm just kidding....)

I'm addicted to goofy threads at FR.

Seems we meet at the same ones pretty often, Allegra...

Similar IQ's, you think?

:-)

You bet! Downright scary, isn't it? And if we ever meet up (which we're just going to have to do next time I'm in Houston), others should be afraid. Be very afraid. ;-)

I'd love to get together the next time you're in Houston to make the city very afraid!

I suspect it's an oral fixation not unlike gum chewing or in some cases, cigarette smoking. I've seen the phenomenon and wondered about it.

My little nephew is WAY into the flavored stuff.

I keep warning him that his lips are gonna get so soft that his whole head is gonna implode.

Ingredients like camphor and menthol give lips a tingly rush
The latest product from the EIB Store -- Rush Lip Balm

Oh, those perilous addictions.

Jack Butler: I understand that you little guys start out with your woobies and you think they're great... and they are, they are terrific. But pretty soon, a woobie isn't enough. You're out on the street trying to score an electric blanket, or maybe a quilt. And the next thing you know, you're strung out on bedspreads, Ken. That's serious.

So if I never go to work without makeup, am I a makeup addict? And if I can't sleep without a couple blankets even on the hottest nights, am I a blanket addict? Where can I go and get paid to sit around all day and think up stuff like this (as long as I can wear makeup)?

It's a gateway drug. Yup. That's it. One day chap stick, the next day, HEROIN.

Can you imagine the "Interventions" show they'd have for that (lip balm...heroin's already been done)?
