1. Well, there are worse addictions.
I was like that too a few months ago. Then I ran out of Visine and was too lazy to go to the store. The issue kind of resolved itself. :shrug: :hi:

2. The bitter irony of it is that you use it to eliminate red-eye,
but the more you use it, the more you get red-eye whenever you aren't using it. It's a vicious cycle.

4. Look at the bright side
Santa might ask you to guide his reindeer sleigh someday.

9. Or I might end up in a commercial with that bastid, Ben Stein.
:scared:

16. Yep. Starting Wednesday, I'm taking a hiatus.
I just wanted to stick around to turn 19 tomorrow. :hi:

5. Girl, it could be sooooooo much worse.
tip o' the day: crying about your addiction to Visine won't help with the red-eye problem.


:evilgrin:

6. Yeah, well I'm addicted to using Burt's Bees lip balm.
No other anti-chapping lip coating will serve. :P

7. You like it, huh? I have the almond-scented hand creme, and I
loo-oooove it! I haven't tried the lip balm, though...

10. Just watch out, it can lead to addiction.
If I don't apply it every hour or so, my lips feel parched :P

Also, my cat (Quinn, not Althea) loves it! He'll try and give me kisses after I put it on, so I have to either tolerate that or rub some on my finger for him to lick off. He won't leaveme alone until I do, he even recognizes the sound of the little tube opening :P

I can't tell what it is he likes about it, I think it's the peppermint oil :)

15. Man, that hand cream...
It smells like sugar coookies to me and I LOOVE that stuff.

My mom works for a Co-op that sells the stuff so I am loaded with freebies of it.

ha ha.

12. The thought has occurred to me.
I miss my cigarettes infinitely more than the good bud, though.

14. At first glance, I read that as Vaseline.
I thought to myself, "This ought to be interesting!"
