Hmm. That could be why my ankles always painfully swell up in my boots too - I usually tie them tightly on the bottom, and looser up top. So, in a sense, my feet can't swell, so my ankles will. I'll have to reverse that next time and see if it works.

I think mine were average but loose up at the top. I did cut my toenails back, for this trip, but, my damage was from home working out.

I did not cut my sons toenails {see, how lame does that sound, he didn't cut his own toenails but then he doesn't....} and who knows how his shoes were tied and he ran down the trail. We've told him not to as it puts a lot of pressure on your toes as well as it can thrash your legs....kids!!!

Black toenails falling off were the coolest thing in the world when I was a kid, so if I'd been told that could cause I'd have done it on purpose.

Of course, blood under my toenails (mostly from soccer; both because the fashion was to wear shoes 1.5 sizes too small and from getting stepped on) is the reason I started painting my toenails in college.

Pink with little yellow butterflies? Awwwwww that makes for some cool toes in those strappy sandals.

I just jammed my finger onto a piece of metal that slid neatly under the fingernail. Now there's a lovely painful black spot. I blame you all.

Let's put all our discarded digit nails into an envelope and send it to Santa!

On my 13th birthday I was helping my dad take down a set-up at a county fair. I took some of the pieces over to the big truck to put onto the flat-bed. I jumped onto the tailgate which lifted up and before I knew it my foot was caught between the truck bed and the gate squashing my foot.

I took off my bloody shoe to reviel the broken nail. I then was rushed to the emergency room where teh doctors cut off the toe nail.

That really sucked.

I've had an ingrown toe nail where I cut it wrong and it grew into the skin and it got all white and blood and pus were coming out so they had to inject something to numb it and they cut off half of my big toenail and some infected skin and have me topical ointment and antibiotics and to this day I always cut my toenails in a straight line.

Maybe I should create a gross toenail story thread.
