Do you lick you envelopes?

Next time, don't be so cheap. go to the dollar store and buy a sponge and dampen it. It works like a charm, and you don't get paper cuts, or a horrible taste in your mouth. That's what we did when my daughter got married. Actually, we got a whole bag of those little triangle sponges for makeup application and used a couple of those. we were done 200 envelopes in a matter of 20 minutes.

ooh they say its no good to lick envelopes because one lady end up cutting her tounge and got infected come to find out later bugs had laid eggs in her cut...how gross is that

nope, i sure don't! i use a sponge. i am not licking anything. i don't like the taste of the glue. and you always hear gross stories about what goes into that glue

Nope, I don't lick them they taste nasty. They dry out my tongue. I'm sure the paper cut hurt like hell:-( Poor Baby!

If I am just doing one, I lick it, but as little as possible to seal it. If its more than one, I just go by the sink and get a little water on my fingers and seal the envelope that way.

if its just one or two envelopes then yea i will lick the envelope, even though i can't stand the way it tastes, but wow 148 and you licked all of them , if i have something that large of an amount i just get a small sponge and water and just dab it

If I had to lick that many I would use a sponge. I see that's what others have said her also but I just had to put my one cent in LOL!

wow...148 letters.i just can't imagine that you have to lick all of them.i use e-mail so often that i haven't receive a real letter several years.

OMG Kynni204. I could not imagine having to lick 148 business letters. Not only does it taste nasty but also because I can't imagine how bad a paper cut on your tongue hurts (you poor thing). We have envelope moistener at work and I will usually wet a paper towel and run it across the part of the envelope that needs to be licked at home. It always does the trick! Anyways, it's been 4 weeks since you've posted this discussion so I hope your tongue feels better now.

yes i do lick the enveloves and i hate it. they need to flavor that glue or somthing its the worst
