Yep, I hear ya. I usually nibble around the edges of the nails. It doesn't hurt as long as I stick with the top layer of skin, but I inevitably end up going a little too far and drawing blood (wow, how gross is this?) I'll stop for a while and feel so proud because my fingers look so nice, and then before I know it, it's back to looking like I let puppies and babies teeth on me for money. It makes my mom so mad when she sees me. We definitely need a treatment group. :lol:

Let's not even get started on my Mom's reaction to all this!!!! It is even more important for me to have nice hands because I am a female and we are expected to have nice dainty hands. It probably would help with my job too as open wounds are an entry way for bacteria and germs. I have many times drawn blood.

I can honestly say that my fingers/hands always look good in Disney because I am away from the "everyday life" and enjoying myself (stress-free). But we can't stay in Disney forever. I would like to start a treatment group. What should we call our little group?

I'm kinda glad I am not the only one who suffers from this terrible affliction.:(

Know what stopped me? I started getting manicures every 2 weeks (had acrylic nails put on - short ones so you wouldn't have a problem at work). If you spend that much money you don't want your hands to look crappy.

BJ, I've seen guys getting manicures too... they massage your hands with lotion after hot towel treatment...no nails or polish... maybe that would help you too. The skin is softer so it doesn't annoy you enough to pick at it... thats what did it for me, the rough skin around the nail. *shrugs*

I'm an equal opportunity appendage abuser. :wave:

Mad...as unmacho as it is to admit, my skin is pretty soft already, so I'm not sure that would do the trick for me. (But as long as there's lotion involved, I might be willing to give it a go.) :lookaroun

Pick or chew? I don't do either one. I am not that "bendy".:lol:

Either! Although I've heard they're quite chewable. :lookaroun

And with your long legs I would think you could reach. :lol:

You know, the more we talk about this, the more I think I just have some weird oral fixation. I bite my nails (fingers and toes), gnaw on my fingers, chew the skin on my lips annnnd (if you weren't grossed out enough) if I go long enough without shaving, the hairs in my mustache will get long enough that I can pull them out with my teeth. Secsy, huh? :lookaroun

yup...........sounds like a oral fixation to me. Dry lips drive me nuts also. Winter is a bad time for me all around. My skin is like Mr. Burns from the Simpsons all winter.

Um, sort of... :lol:

I'm not "that bendy" either - at 46, couldn't reach my feet if I tried, but since I have a few accessible toes on my hand :eek: [long story - lost all my fingers to frostbite, they transfered three toes to my left hand to give me grip], I occasionally chew on them :eek:

I get some odd looks from people, but... I can put my foot in my mouth faster than anyone else I know! :D

Well, at least you have an excuse for the lip thing. I live about an hour north of Fla. :animwink:

Wow. It's amazing what medical science can do to help you become functional again. Were they your toes or from a donor? I would feel better chewing on them if they were mine to start with.:lol:

Seriously, I'm glad you were able to gain functional use of your left hand.:)

I was physically unable to bite my nails or anything else growing up.... so I never developed that habit... but since I've had oral surgery, I bite my lip in my sleep. :(

Rain, why couldn't you bite your nails?

Extreme overbite. My back teeth could touch but not my front teeth. I could stick my entire finger in my mouth and bite down completely without injury.

Yes, they're my own. Some members of my family did "volunteer" to donate fingers at the time. I'll be eternally grateful that the surgeon said no [I would have felt VERY guilty]! Two of the three toes were somewhat damaged by the frostbite, so it was touch and go whether they'd make it, but the alternative was less appealling. Everything worked and I function extremely well. Most people I work with forget I'm disabled... Since I type faster than most them and have never really thought of myself as disabled anyway, it's not surprizing.

Odd thread drift, but given this thread "drifted" from an "are there any Vegetarians?" thread, I guess anything is possible :lookaroun

(12-30) 10:52 PST NEW YORK, (AP) --


A 19-year-old PETA staffer has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.


Chris Garnett, youth outreach coordinator for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said he changed his name in support of the group's anti-KFC campaign.


"People don't believe me at first when I tell them my name, but it never fails to spark a discussion," Garnett, er, KentuckyFriedCruelty.com, said in a statement. "Many vow to boycott KFC after I explain the company's indifference to cruelty to animals."


Norfolk, Va.-based PETA's complaints against KFC stem from video footage shot last year recording alleged mistreatment of birds at a Pilgrim's Pride Corp. plant in Moorefield, W.Va. The plant is a KFC supplier.


Yum! Brands, the parent company of KFC, has disputed the claims of mistreatment. In June, a grand jury refused to indict former workers at the West Virginia chicken plant.


"Stacked" star Pamela Anderson, who has narrated a PETA video showing the alleged abuse, supports Garnett's name change.


"I'm sure Chris can't wait 'till KFC stops torturing chickens so he can change his name back," the actress said in a statement, adding that the chicken abuse "is awful and has to stop."
