Strange body

Post Reply New Topic

some of my problems are not just mentaly but also physicaly. I dont know if this is something someone else has but i am a guy with very long fingernails. they are natruely long and i have been bullied all my life about it, i get them cut all the time but it just dosnt feel like me and i try to avoid it. i have actualy had alot cutting my toenails as they are so hard. in comparisen my bones feel a bit brittle and they often make cracking noises.

Whoa that's exactly like me! Everything! I don't have a problem with it, but people seem to want me to have a problem with it. Apparently the "cracking" isn't actually the bones, it's the gas between them or something. I don't know how it affects my health and I sometimes worry about it.

i thought it might be a lack of calcium because i hate full cream milk

I literally just finished clipping my nails.

They keep getting too long, and it interferes with my typing. I hate having long nails, but they keep growing back... I just wish there was some way to freeze them short... and stop them changing... but I guess I just have to put up with constantly clipping them back.
I carry around nailclippers in my wallet for just such an emergency. I literally will not go anywhere without my nailclippers.

nail clippers make me shudder. though i do remove my nails when they get to a certain length with my other nails. im shaw that people see my nails that i remove in public places.

Shame.
As I said... wouldn't go anywhere without them. I do more than just clip my nails with them too. I've become somewhat masterful at manipulating things with my nail-clippers, and at least one friend let me clip her toenails for her on one occasion because I'm so precise with them (which is more than most would trust me to do). I think the weirdest thing is that her family was around at the time. I doubt that situation will ever arise again.


I do need a new pair though. The old ones are getting worn out. There was a time when I had three different pairs for slightly different purposes.

why dont you get a pocket knife, that way you could have for even more situations

You're kidding, right?
I wouldn't try doing anything with a pocket knife. It doesn't have any sort of... pincering mechanism. It is just a crude blade. And besides, the body of it would tend to be too bulky.

I can twist a pair of nailclippers from rest-position (lever folded back) into ready position (lever turned around and upright) with one hand in under a second. I can open awkward packaging with them, cut paper with them, remove splinters with them, trim the edges off just about anything....
I'm just a hundred times more versatile with nailclippers than I could ever be with a knife. I just don't use knives.
If I got a big enough pair of nailclippers, I could quite probably kill someone with them in open combat.

cartoon of some sort pops into my head. any way you can get nail clippers on pocket knives. i cant stand the smell of when my hand gets sweaty and then you get that strong metal smell from your clipers.

Pocket knives are too bulky. They can't be manipulated one-handed so easily. And as I already said... I like my clippers the way they are. And I like the metal smell, though you get it more from newer clippers. My old clippers don't smell much of anything any more.

I know you're just trying to make recommendations... but my way is different to your way, alright? I'm a clipper-fanatic and likely always will be.

yes, and im a long nail fanatic. i agree we are the same but we are diferent

Glad we got that sorted.


I used to have longer nails though, for the record.
I used to have a precise order of length to them.
It was always descending order of length from Index Finger back to Little Finger... and right hand always slightly longer than left hand...

So it went Right Index > Left Index > Right Middle > Left Middle etc etc ...

I used to panic if the order got messed up.
Eventually it led to my simply clipping all my nails down to the raw whenever they got too long, and not caring about individual lengths any more.

thats a way i deal with cleaning. instead of becoming obsesed with cleaning i tend to just ignore the need to clean at all, as im not delicate enough to do what my mind want my body to do, and i get sick oftrying to creat the perfect order.

I'll second that. ¬_¬
My flat is a total mess. I don't have any spare bedding so I rarely ever get to change what is on the bed, though I've become immune to it by now. The bathroom, being somewhat non-functional as it is, has ended up dirtier than ever. All the corners have balls of dust in them that I can't be bothered to remove since they're not in my functional space.
It is getting to the point where I'm considering moving home JUST to escape how icky the current one has become.

The worst thing is.... the person I'm living with has contributed probably more than I have to the state of the place, and I really want to get rid of them too. They're interfering directly in my ability to maintain control of my surroundings.

don you also become obsesed with exact order once you start cleaning

Part of my mind does, but I usually try to suppress that part. I know perfection is an unobtainable goal... and something will ALWAYS screw it up. I just aim to make things better if I can. It holds off the nasties a bit longer.
