Ginger, hope you feel better soon!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Dear Oral Care Industry,
Please to be making it plain which minty-fresh products are wintergreen-flavored and which are not. I'm sure that there are plenty of potential customers who love wintergreen, and strongly dislike spearmint or peppermint, while I find wintergreen to be nauseating and to be avoided at all costs. This business of calling things "clean mint" and "fresh mint" and "cool mint" and anything except what actual flavors are in them is. Not. Helpful.
No love, me

Punishingly Intricate
WindSparrow, we are sisters in our hatred of wintergreen! It's pepto bismol flavor! BLECH! Plus, my dad used to eat wintergreen mints while driving us to Texas in the summer and I always got car sick on those trips so the smell is inextricably linked with nausea in my brain.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I also hate wintergreen.
So, the move estimator just left. Time to crunch some numbers. Man, I just want to go back to bed. So overwhelmed, and still not sleeping well.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've never noticed a difference between different flavors of mint, but I pretty much hate all artificial mint flavor. A few leaves of mint in something is OK, but mint toothpaste, cookies, candies, etc., just taste gross to me.

Ginger, glad you've seen the doctor - hope everything kicks in soon.
Dear healthcare system: if you're going to pay for viagra, you REALLY ought to cover birth control and other reproductive services. Thanks ever so.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't mind wintergreen but if I'm sick to my stomach only peppermint helps (if I have no ginger) I wonder if all that Pepto we had when we were sick little kiddies made it so it doesn't work on us as adults.

I DEPISE spearmint. To the point that if someone is chewing spearmint gum or sucking on a mint, I can't talk to them.

The other day as I was walking into the grocery store here in Orange County CA I was kind of pleased to see two teenaged boys with a bouquet of flowers walking out holding hands. It was just a "Yay for gay PDAs" moment for me but I didn't think to share with anyone.
Then today I heard about the SPLC for about the millionth time and finally went to their website to find out what they're all about and clicked through to the Hate Map and saw just how full of bigotry and hate the OC really is. So whether they know it or not those boys are really brave and I think it's worth mentioning.
