deal with my dad

this has to do with my tank but i thought it would fit here better than in general reef topics.

i bite my nails just like many of you do but i also get very sick very often. my parents think that its me biting hte nails thats doing it. so we made a deal. i dont bite y nails for a certain ammount of time and i get a free thing for my tank up to 30 dollars. i dont know for how long i have to wait but it has to be getting soon now. hopefully in a few weeks or sooner i will have a free thing for my tank! just hought id let yall know!

 

do it.. Just be sure to cut your nails really really short, it makes it a lot easier..

 

i have to cut mine short cause it annoys me playing bass when they are long

 

My fingers are crossed for you! Habits are hard to break. Besides, you don't want to end up with frog-fingers. Stay strong!

 

Gah I hate short nails ! It drives me crazy lol having to try and "nub" open a beer or trying to scratch with nubs , no thanks lol

 

im already out of it after a week. wasnt too hard. just had to notice when i was about to do it. i just have to keep it up until they are satisfied.

 

Haha I used to bite my nails a ton. Then I stopped. Now I do it again It's pretty useful for me because I rock climb alot and short nails are always good to have when climbing. So it's easy for me. But sometimes I forget to clip my toenails because I never clip my finger nails...

 

rub a bunch or red pepper under your nails. you wont rub your eye either! lol or eat some dirt/mud every now and then and get some immunities! ;D

 

I found it to be more important to keep my nails smooth. I used to bite my nails all the time, and noticed that I would check for rough spots by running them across my t-shirt. Keep them filed, it ought to help a bunch. I hope this helps with your sickly-ness too.

 

lol i have strep throat now. this is helping a lot lol
