I've never lost a nail, but I did get an infection in my thumb once and if you pressed on the nail lots of puss would ooze out.

OMG dirty! :blush:

lost a thumbnail here. it didnt do the 'degrade and come off thing' though.

RRRRRRrip! it was done. but yeah, it looked pretty funky for quite awhile. still never grew back quite right.

I'm trying to give NA a run for her money in the suggestive typo department. Perhaps I should apply for pubic funding?

I lost my pinky toe nail on vacation. I was 7 or 8 and I smashed it on a rock in a lake. My wonderful mother saw nothing wrong with making me wear sneakers the entire trip either because she didn't want to pay for a pair of flip flops. she also didn't see anything wrong with only giving me a hand towel to dry off with because she didn't want to buy a beach towel and my dad talked her out of stealing one from the hotel :rolleyes: Yes. I still remember it. That was a horrible vacation.

Smashed my fingers in doors more times than I can count. Damaged the nail bed on my thumb but never lost a finger nail.

You could always wear socks with Birks. :)

Aw, man, taking it out of context makes it much less witty. And there was precious little wit in there to begin with.

Although, if I *did* have pubic funding, it would make getting a brazillian that much more likely.

You mean, like a Brazillian dollars ? What would you need that much money for ?
