Yes, I spit when I talk. I stopped after a while, and then I had surgery. Now it's worse. Same with the drooling, because I can't feel it until it's dripping off my chin.

Welcome wen!

I'm a spitter too, but not that much. What is really annoying is the amount of saliva in my mouth!

As Leslie022 said, I have a courtain of saliva bubbles all around my braces everytime I smile!

And if I don't suction it and swallow it fast enough, that mean saliva finds a way to appear flying to the air...

The things braces makes us do!

Ahaahahahahaha!! I was going to say gleeking in my post, but I wasn't sure if anyone else would know what it was. I always wanted to be able to make myself gleek, but could never manage it. I still can't do it on command now, but it happens quite a bit.

I'm on our school board and I was having a serious talk about school issues with the principal the other day. I was talking away and all the sudden I saw it shoot across his desk. I wanted to melt under the desk. I was hoping he didn't notice.

The drooling has come and gone - I'm sure it will be back.

But I have to ask - what the heck is gleeking?? Not Lynn's profanity filter at work I take it??

Ha, see that's why I didn't put it in my post. It really is the coolest thing. Have you ever chewed gum ( it usually happens when the gum is relatively new ) and this perfect little spray of drops comes shooting out without you even feeling it? That would be a gleek. I've noticed it happens with chewy stuff a lot. Like gum, caramel, steak....something that you have to put a lot of effort into chewing.
Silly, I know. I tried for years to master gleeking in high school, but never could manage it. In my mind, it's like being able to whistle really loud with your fingers in your mouth. I've never been able to figure that out either.

As Ariesinatl said "I will gladly pay the price for straight teeth", I will also. I would wear a bib around my neck for the next 2 years if need be. I guess it never hurt anyone being spit on, they may not like it, but it doesn't hurt anyone.

I am proud to be a member of the spitters club
