Man I forgot my Chapstick today and freaked. I tried to make it but could'nt. I pulled into the gas station and ran inside. I pulled the Chapstick off the counter and broke the seal before I paid. I was like somebody at a Methadone clinic, I was jonesing. The guy behind the counter said "Your not the only Chapstick addict I've seen here." Wow... BTW my wife bought me 10 sticks today at Sams...I'm ready for SHTF!!! |
), or any number of things people do out of habit. If I have my Chapstick I use it when I don't need it like pushing up my glasses when I'm wearing contacts.

I used to use chapstick constantly. I heard a DJ on some morning show mention that regular old vaseline worked better for him so I tried it. I only use the vaseline a few times a day. I used to love it when the cap would come off the chapstick in my pocket and the damned thing would get covered with lint. Yuck! |
| IT replaces the natural oils in your skin so you end up having to use it repeatedly to stay moisturized... So a doctor told me. I tried backing off it and low and behold I was fine! It takes a few days to get back to normal. You should only need it if you're outside a lot and getting wind/sun exposure. |

I try not to use it, because it seems if I use it for a while I end up needing it. If I quit using it, my lips are dry and chapped for a few days. Then they heal themselves up and "do their job". I do occasionally use it, but mainly in the beginning of winter when it first gets cold as my lips get pretty chapped at that point. |
