The Toenail Thread - **Seriously**
This is a SERIOUS thread about toenails.
Do you take regular care of yours?
Do you keep them long or short?
Are they hard and brittle and misshaped, or well-groomed and supple?
Do you get pedicures?
Do you paint them?
What do you do with the clippings?
Are the clippings any good sprinkled on asparagus?
Oh, and to keep the connection,
Do well-groomed toenails help you as a Musician?

Like my father I have a big right toe that curls up naturally. If I don't keep that toenail trimmed I can ruin an otherwise perfectly good pair of shoes in less than 30% or the normal expected life span.

i forget which way to cut them.. straight across is supposed to be the best for toe.. and in an arc for finger nails..
with toenails.. you can get in grown ones if you cut them as an arc..
best time to cut em is after a bath / shower.as they aren't so brittle.. hhmm that's all i know..

I have been watching yellow fungus on one for years. So far it has not tried to extend its boundaries so we have a detente going. It doesn't attack my cuticle, I don't grind it off with a belt sander.

If you let them grow long enough, you can clip them to make guitar picks. MMM there is nothing that sounds as good as an all natural guitar pick.

I have a big right toe that curls up naturally. Hammer toe.... I got that too... on both.... ruins socks and tennis shoes if the toenail isn't kept trimmed short.... which I do. I have been watching yellow fungus on one for years. I'm not a doctor and I don't stay at the Holiday Inn Express..... but try putting Vicks Vaporub on it far a few months.... I have heard that remedy works in many cases, and it's cheap. It will take some time.... that nail fungus thing is hard to get rid of...stay away from the prescriptions... too many dangerous side effects.

I alternate between red and green handle tin snips depending on if I cutting CW or CCW. I tried the Vick Vapor Rub thing - didn't work for me. Pinlac is a relatively safe topical application (prescripton only). Now Tofo! There's an interesting topic. . . . . . . Rich

My old drummer Arty was a little off in more than a few ways. Apparently he was in the habit of saving his "clippings", and had been for years. He kept them in one of those glass decorative jars with the dome glass top and plastic seal. When asked why or what he planned to do with them, he always shrugged and said "I'll find something useful someday". Weird cat that Arty.
A few years back, Arty found his use for them. He had been ripped off on a P.A. when his last band broke up by the lead singer. Arty waited until he heard the guy was getting married, and had a friend who was invited deliver Arty's wedding gift. Yep, beautifully wrapped in colorful foil, with a nice ribbon on top. After dinner and some dancing, the bride and groom started opening gifts, and when the bride opened the jar, the "funk" actually made her vomit and cleared most of the reception hall. Weird cat that Arty.

I have bunions and it has bunions shoes that I have no pain with them. In fact, this is the only shoe. I was worried about buying these online because I couldn't try them on first, but the customer service chat helped me narrow down the style I was looking for - knee pain and joint instability. They feel great and I'll be looking for one of the pairs of dressy shoes soon! I really wear. I work, exercise and take long walks in them. If you have any foot issue, try them. I highly recommend Orthofeet.

I used to like asparagus.
Shower with your socks on and don't look down.
The worst part, for me, is making those fast turns on a hardwood floor.

I take care of mine. I can't stand when my pinky toenails get long. A few weeks ago though, I dropped a soup can on my left big toe, and its still healing. Youch.
