    There's a local job there, but that's too far to commute every day.

    Thanks for the reply, I knew you guys would be able to help.
    I forgot all about this website until I was thinking about betel nuts. If I remember right, you were talking about betel nuts on here somewhere.
    They’re everywhere down here.
     
    Chinatown Thanks this.

    Which town do you live in or near?
    I haven't chewed betel nut in a few months. Ran out and haven't bought more.

    Break the betel nut open by cracking the shell with your teeth. Take the meaty center out of the shell and start chewing it. Do not swallow the fibrous residue of the nut as it is said to cause stomach aches.
    Keep chewing until there is no more betel nut left. You may have a mild euphoric feeling because of betel nuts’ mild stimulant effects.

    You forgot one thing China, like you gotta crush the betel nut with “lime” and then wrap it with a pan leaf, and then chew. Burn the living #### outta my gums once or twice trying to learn.

    In the old days old women in my culture would chew betel, but it’s not so prevalent now. When my great grandmother was still alive that was what she did, and so my grandmother would put offerings on the alter for her and after the incense were burned down I would take a little bit of each and tried it. It rushed way more than any form of nicotine I have ever tried!!
    If there is a day when I become successful at this gig, then I’ll bring you a whole trailer full of tropical fruits and betel, and kowtow you as my master while burning incense.

    I’ve learned at a young age that people who have odd habits, such as chewing betel, do it usually because of one thing, euphoria.

    I haven't used the lime and leaf. I just chew the meat/soft center out of the nut and swallow whatever is left when I get enough.
    Betel Nut Girls in China prepare it how you do and sell it like that.

    Need any help finding a job, let me know.
    Some companies hire all over Florida and some don't hire if you live below Interstate-4.

    Yes I need help. I live in Fort Myers Florida, which is below i4. It’s difficult because I have no ties in the trucking industry; the only help I usually get is watching YouTube videos, but those videos can be misleading and just straight up not helpful.
    I have all my endorsements Doubles triples, hazmat/tanker, and I also have a TWIC card, and I just came back from an interview at the Canadian border for a FAST card. If everything goes right then I will have my FAST card in a month.
    My plan was to join covenant in Chattanooga ,because they seem to have a good reputation. You guys probably know better though
