RRRRRRIP!!!

I was doin' OK on the fingernail thing for quite awhile, keepin' them properly shaped and puttin' clear polish on em.

Then the other night at a gig I got a little carried away, and *rrrip*, there went one of em. Good thing is, they grow back, at least.

I still can't figure out whether I ought to try to grow em and keep em that way, or just build up some really hard callouses on my ring and middle finger of my right hand. I go back and forth on the issue.

Drink Knox Gelatin. Just mix with water for stronger nails and healthier, shinier hair....

Hair?

That subject is a non-starter for me.

I oughta try the Knox anywah though.

It'll make your tail wag too. :)

I've used that stuff in the past....I just can't remember to drink it every day.

I do have some great calouses on the outside of my right thumb, and my finger tips on my right pointer and middle finger.

Ohhh.....you were talking about your nails......from the title of the post, I thought perhaps a bout of GAS was on the way.
