Gum
A couple of posts ago I told about a few things I hate, one of them being gum.
I passionately hate gum.
Ick.
Anyway ... I thought I would share a recent (well, maybe not so recent) gum experience with ya'll and perhaps you can help me with a small problem.
My hubby, sweetie that he is, enters me in contests. He is at home all day and not a whole lot to do and before he started blogging he entered contests a lot. I mean a lot.
It was really fun, every month or two (or couple of weeks) I would get home from work and there would be a box or a letter where we had won some item. I am still using the lipstick, towels, beachbag, and a lot of other stuff that accumulated over that period of time.
One day, while I was at work, a large box arrived at the door. Gunner has never been known to be patient, and opened it. I had won ... drumroll...
A YEARS SUPPLY OF GUM!! TA-DA!
My mother happened to be there for the unveiling and began to laugh. He asked her what was so funny and she reminded him of my aversion to the stuff. He thought this was hillarious.
They carefully sealed the box back up so I could open it when I got home.
You can imagine my glee at the discovery of a new box of who knew what, and then my chagrin at discovering all this gum. Two complete cases of Watermelon and Lemonade Koolers gum. (2 cases, 6 boxes to a case, 15 packs to a box = 180 packs of gum)
It has now been a year and a half and I still have gum left.
So, anyone want some?
Please?
Pretty please?

I hate gum too. I even was excited to travel to Singapore because gum is illegal there. Then one night while riding a bus, some lawbreaker was on the back of the bus popping their gum for the entire 15 minute ride. (I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE POP THEIR GUM) I guess there is no such thing as a no gum paradise!
Good luck getting rid of your gum! lol
