Well, I am the newest member - I found this site from
http://www.oddtodd.com and decided to check it out. I have been chewing ice religiously for about 10 years now. I used to be a go-go dancer, and I found that drinking water would bloat my stomach, so I started chewing on ice. Not only did it not blow me up, but it was a cool and refreshing treat after dancing in a hot over crowded club. I have chewed it ever since, so I guess I am addicted.
I get addicted to weird things all the time - - favorite sandwiches that I crave, Kool-Aid and Gatorade were my habits for a while. I never considered them harmful until my dentist started yelling at me about the ice-facination. But try as I might - I still chew.
As a bartender now, I am in Ice Heaven. Many a night has been passed simply refilling my glass with ice & water, and chewing in between mixing drinks. It's the perfect profession for people like us!
I am happy to be here, and very happy to find this place.
Take care, everyone -
