Helpful Tips from the VFM
To the Masses…
I have been asked by the FM to give a message to the floating masses out there. As VFM, I will impart this to you. Try not to ever cut your fingernails too short. If you let them grow long enough, sometimes in your excitement to get them cut you will at times over estimate the length and cut them too short. Upon doing this, it is very possible that you could irritate the underling tissue and esepcially the corner area of the nailbed. Sometimes if you are trying to grab something after doing this, but you don’t get a really good handle on whatever it is, and then it slips and you have to really clinch down hard to keep form dropping it, it can really hurt. And then it hurts for like 2 days every time you grab something or bump into that stupid countertop again. Then it gets all red and pussfilled and you’d rather have cut your whole freaking finger off instead of just the nail. Inevitably you have to take out the trash, and you do, ok, except for one little part of the bag is sticking out of the can, so you lean over just to flip the top up so it can fall in, and you hit it again! It is so sore now you fall to your knees sobbing like a child, screaming, WHY WHY WHY like that idiot Nancy Kerrigan after Tonya had her caned. When all you really wanted was people to stop looking at your ridiculously long claws.
