One of the best feelings is when you have phlegm stuck in your throat and you finally manage to spit it out.

It's so satisfying. My throat always feels so much clearer and better.

Completely agree. It's not like an itch you can easily fix by scratching. And when you've been trying to cough it out for ages, it's such a relief to have it finally gone. There should be a word in the English language for the relief brought about by expelled phlegm.

@GlassDog It's the same kind of feeling when one of your joints won't crack and then it finally does.

@BlueMetalChick Yeah, or when you sort of feel like you're about to sneeze but can't, and then finally do.

@GlassDog Speaking of joints, my jaw cracked just a few minutes ago. I used to have that happen all the time as a teenager but it stopped years ago, this is the first time in a long while my jaw has popped. I had almost forgotten about it.

@BlueMetalChick I only get that when I'm really tired and yawning. Haven't had it for ages because I'm never tired now, but I wss tired all the time as a teenager.

@GlassDog For me it wasn't like a yawning motion but more if I pushed my bottom teeth off to the left. If I did that quickly enough, the left side of my jaw would make a sharp cracking noise sometimes.

@BlueMetalChick Wow. I'd forgotten about that until you just mentioned it. I just tried it and cracked mine too.

@GlassDog So I'm not the only one, whoa...

@BlueMetalChick It's weird. I've no idea how common or uncommon it is. You're the only person I've ever talked about this with in my entire life.

BlueMetalChick · 26-30, F

@GlassDog I guess it's not a common topic of discussion anyway lol

@BlueMetalChick Like most of the stuff we've ever talked about!
