Yope I wouldn't describe them as items A substance? Yesish, although again not the word I use Does it cost money to do it? I could technically answer yes but I think that it might mislead Time? Effort? Emm doesn't everthing involve time and effort.

Sad as I am i decided to see how many puzzles I've hosted in that time and was surprised to learn that my current puzzle is only my 89th. Im my defence I do suffer regular bouts of puzzlers block. I'm amazed at some of you and your ability to come up with so many puzzles. What's the secret? Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 18273 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Friday, January 25, 2013 - 12:49 pm:        Are you chewing something meant to be chewed, like gum? Or something else, like a pencil? Or a part of the mouth, like the tongue or inside of the cheek? I don't have a "secret" to coming up with puzzles, per se (I explained more in the chatroom), but I keep an eye out for scenarios that would make good puzzles. Lynne (Lynne) New member Username: Lynne Post Number: 5258 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Sunday, January 27, 2013 - 12:00 pm:        Do you bite your nails and then crunch the nail between your teeth? Lynne (Lynne) New member Username: Lynne Post Number: 5259 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Sunday, January 27, 2013 - 12:59 pm:        Ah, I re read that it's nothing to do with your nails. Back to the drawing board. You say that it's something you 'have' to do in that "I'd like to stop having to do it." Does it irritate you that you have to do it? Anything to do with weight control? Noel (Noel) New member Username: Noel Post Number: 3378 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Monday, January 28, 2013 - 1:29 am:        Do you chew on a pencil? A pen? An item of clothing? A body part?

No I don't have a "secret" to coming up with puzzles, per se (I explained more in the chatroom), but I keep an eye out for scenarios that would make good puzzles. I'm trying to work out how I managed to post this here and in the chatroom Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4478 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Monday, January 28, 2013 - 10:29 am:        Lynne Do you bite your nails and then crunch the nail between your teeth? I do actually but it's not relevant to this puzzle. Nice to see you back this way Lynne. Hope your back is better, as a long term bad back sufferer I can sympathise Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4479 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Monday, January 28, 2013 - 10:31 am:        Ah, I re read that it's nothing to do with your nails. Back to the drawing board. oops I answered your previous question without reading this post You say that it's something you 'have' to do in that "I'd like to stop having to do it." Does it irritate you that you have to do it? Anything to do with weight control? No to both. Just to explain in case there's any confusion, I have to do this insofar as the alternative is not very pleasant Noel (Noel) New member Username: Noel Post Number: 3379 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Monday, January 28, 2013 - 1:15 pm:        you missed my previous set of questions Does your habit involve chewing food? Do you chew with your mouth open? Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4486 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - 10:09 am:        Noel - with apologies for missing your post Does your habit involve chewing food? Yes Do you chew with your mouth open? No- the action would not be considered bad mannered Do you chew on a pencil? A pen? An item of clothing? A body part? None of these Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 18293 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - 12:28 pm:        Does it involve chewing all food? Only a specific food? Noel (Noel) New member Username: Noel Post Number: 3383 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - 3:07 pm:        Is it chewing food that is specifically relevant? Or the entire process of eating it? Is it chewing something that is bad for your teeth? Ice? Hard candy? Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4489 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - 3:26 pm:        Balin Does it involve chewing all food?

Well it does for me anyway Noel (Noel) New member Username: Noel Post Number: 3385 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - 4:59 pm:        Is it the frequency/duration of chewing? If so, chewing things too much/long? Not chewing things enough? Lynne (Lynne) New member Username: Lynne Post Number: 5274 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 - 5:04 pm:        Missed my questions Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4491 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 10:33 am:        Missed my questions I'm getting good at that Were you told as a child to chew everything a certain number of times? I was but unfortunately not relevant Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4492 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 10:35 am:        Noel Is it the frequency/duration of chewing? If so, chewing things too much/long? Not chewing things enough? No to all of these I'm afraid Lynne (Lynne) New member Username: Lynne Post Number: 5275 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 10:35 am:        Missed Noel's questions Lynne (Lynne) New member Username: Lynne Post Number: 5276 Registered: 12-2000 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 10:36 am:        oops, jumped too quckly!

Noel (Noel) New member Username: Noel Post Number: 3392 Registered: 7-2009 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 1:46 pm:        So your chewing habit isn't rude, right? Does it lead to a negative outcome for you? For other people? Or is it not necessarily negative, but leads you to miss out on a better outcome than what you get the way you do it? Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4497 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 - 3:33 pm:        So your chewing habit isn't rude, right? Right Does it lead to a negative outcome for you? Quite the opposite , if I didn't do this I would suffer a negative consequence For other people? No Or is it not necessarily negative, but leads you to miss out on a better outcome than what you get the way you do it? See above but I should say that Constast is only one way to reap this benefit. There are more practical and long term ways of doing so Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 18310 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Thursday, January 31, 2013 - 2:31 pm:        Are dentists relevant?

I'm probably too long in the tooth (deliberate pun) for braces Retainers? No Regular dental checkups? Yesish Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4508 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Friday, February 01, 2013 - 11:20 am:        Non-denture false teeth? such as implants? or bridges? No to these... I think I can save you the trouble of invoking the LTPF list of dental procedures by telling you that my dentist told me recently that I need Root Canal treatment and a crown. So your next post should tell me what Constast means Shez (Shez) New member Username: Shez Post Number: 3818 Registered: 2-2011 Posted on Friday, February 01, 2013 - 7:54 pm:        is it chewing on the side where you need the root canal? Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4512 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Monday, February 04, 2013 - 10:16 am:        is it chewing on the side where you need the root canal? Quite the opposite but enough for me to declare the ************Spoiler****************** On a recent trip to my dentist she advised that she would need to do root canal treatment on a dodgy molar that I have. After the root canal I'd have to get a crown as well. This would set me back the small sum of €1500. During the check up my dentist said that 'you've probably been subconsciously chewing on the other side of your mouth to avoid the sore tooth'. She was right and a neologism was born. I bet that Chewing on One Side To Avoid Sore Tooth is something you've all done from time to time. Thanks for playing.

Balin (Balin) New member Username: Balin Post Number: 18320 Registered: 4-2010 Posted on Tuesday, February 05, 2013 - 2:23 pm:        I chew on one side or the other to avoid the middle because I have a sensitive tooth there. Good puzzle. Peter365 (Peter365) New member Username: Peter365 Post Number: 4522 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Tuesday, February 05, 2013 - 6:58 pm:        Thanks Balin and avoiding a sensitive tooth would work without changing the neo. There's an advert at the top of this puzzle now offering me cheap dental braces.
