I have to say I have gotten into fights with my mother because she spits her gum out the window when she’s driving. It makes me so angry. She doesn’t get why it pisses me off so much. It’s strange because it is so not in keeping with the “ladylike” behaviour she likes to project.

I think I must be one of the ‘odd-ones-out here – I’m not a gum lover. Don’t shoot me folks, we can’t all be the same!
And I have to say I’m not too keen on gum-lovers, either (present company excepted!). Why, oh why, do they have to drop the blessed stuff on the pavements all the time? 
We had a lovely new look to the high street in our seaside town – all red pavia and fancy edging. Now it’s like join-the-dots with gum balls everywhere. And I object to the fact that my hard earned cash goes on paying the Council to send out cleaners to try to get rid of the flippin’ stuff.

Ok – moan over. 

Enjoy your few moments of pleasure, but keep your eye on the kids. They’ll have left home to go to Uni next week and you’ll have more time on your hands than you care to think about!

Kind regards from the bird with an empty nest,

Yeah, before doing this post I ended up doing a lot of research on the sweetener that is promoted for dental health. I had no idea it was naturally derived.

Right?! I guess that’s how smokers feel about people bumming cigarettes.

i am 4…and i still chew gum. trident is my favourite. oh, my chewing gum runs out of flavour, lucky me, i still have one stick left!
