Please Don't Walk Around With Your Mouth Open
I don't understand this.
We've all seen them.. people that have their mouths wide open like they're in shock, and just walk around all day like that. Why? I tried it a bit yesterday, and it's totally more work to hold your mouth open than it is to keep it shut.
For some reason, Whitewater, WI seems to have the highest percentage of these "open mouthers" that I've ever come across. Anywhere.
I tried to come up with valid reasons to give them some sort of benefit of the doubt. Maybe they can't breathe through their nose (you wouldn't need your mouth wide open to compensate for that). Maybe it's more comfortable and they're willing to risk looking like a complete moron (I tried it, it wasn't, and that's not a very good reason for walking around looking like an idiot either.)
It seems that most of these people only close their mouths when they're talking. I've also noticed that it tends to only be when they're walking around – the mouth shuts once they sit down.
This makes absolutely no sense to me!

I think it's funny your adsense block is all about tongue diseases. At least on my screen.

Ok back to topic. I think you've blogged about this before. This is a sparxmind theme. Perhaps these people are breathing.

I'm curious of how this works when most of said "open mouth walkers" run… Yesterday I saw one of these people running, and her mouth was CLOSED! It was crazy! I wonder if they all keep their mouths closed when they run…

When I was between 8-13 years old, I noticed my friends always had their mouths open. We would go into one of our houses and the parent of that house would say "Close your mouth!" Both of my friends did it. I'm not sure if it's the way jaws are positioned or plugged nose or just simply don't know how to keep it closed. But I still see the occasional open mouth and never say anything. Because they're adults and I'm in no position to say one word about how they live their life lol

Tongue disease is highest prevalence in Whitewater.
Also I have not seen a post from you in a while. Are you just not writing as much or did I get unsubscribed somehow.

Congrats on matrimonial stuff!
