ORIGINAL: VirginPotty Uh, Red I guess you saw my lack of nails when we were in Fl, eh?? Actually, while my dad was in the Army, he studied as a dental tech. He told me as a young girl to never bite my nails because of the way it can wreck your teeth. My neighbor used to bite her nails and he used to scold her all the time for it. One time I bit mine and he asked what my deal was because nail biting was a sign of stress or anxiety most of the time. I was so mortified that I didn't ever do it again. So, no it isn't that I saw your nubbin's... it's that, on policy, nubbin's are not allowed in my family. (One of my older sisters gnawed on hers and got crap from my dad until she finally got acrylics so she couldn't gnaw on them anymore. There's only so much one can hear "You are a beautiful lady, don't do that to your hands and make that the last thing people remember about you, you're just too sweet for that.") My dad... diplomacy, in the gentlest, most Southern way. edited for verb tense agreement
