What's that big gardening tool that looks like a large pair of surgical scissors, the sort you snip down small trees with, that's what I require to cut my nails.

My fingernails, however, are lovely.

Gardening sheers?

Yes, is it not shears?
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I don't cut my toenails, I bite them.
You didn't tell me there was going to be math-Mike Krahulik AKA Gabe, after finding out he had to do math in Dungeons & Dragons, also my reaction finding out that I had to do math in most of the storefronts.

Their taste is kind of reminiscent of mushrooms and cheese.

That's truthfully almost enough to convince me...

How often do you cut your toenails?


Every couple weeks, probably. I never let them get very long at all.

DO you paint them?


Yup. Almost always "weird" colors, as my mother always said - I don't like pink or red much, so my toenails tend to be blue or green or purple.

How do you deal with toenail hygiene?


I wash my feet regularly, clean under my toenails whenever I notice that there's any guck in there, and trim them whenever they get long enough to trim.

Any missing or deformed toenails?


Not really. Back in college, I got that toenail fungus that everyone seems to catch from dorm room showers, and my left pinky toenail is still thicker and yellower than the rest of 'em as a leftover from that, but other than that, my toenails are pretty much normal. (My TOES are actually kinda deformed, but in a cute way. :P )

Finally, how do you react upon encountering toenails that you are reasonably sure aren't yours?


It would very much depend on how I was encountering them. If they were attached to my boyfriend's feet, for example, I would not really notice. If they were sprouting little appendages, forming a toenail army, and coming to kill me, I'd be pretty freaked out. If they were just lying on the floor, I'd probably think they were very mildly gross and chuck 'em in a trash can.

Whenever they're on the verge of making it so that my feet no longer fit in my shoes when my feet would fit under normal circumstances.

Lunatic Goofballs wrote:DO you paint them?


Of course not.

Lunatic Goofballs wrote:How do you deal with toenail hygiene?


Showers, occasional clipping.

Lunatic Goofballs wrote:Any missing or deformed toenails?


Slightly deformed, in that they curl.

I don't care, unless they're in my food or some place similar.
