Tiiiiiiny nibbles…
I have them…I need to use them.
No nibbles!
I went in for my third manicure today and have “graduated” to the next level. Weekly visits to repair rough edges will no longer be necessary. I set the next appointment for two weeks out.
It is too bad I did not take a “before” picture to document this journey. I took one […]
Tonight I did something I have never done in my life: trimmed my fingernails without the use of teeth. Pretty exciting stuff, huh? It may be an extremely mundane task for most people, but I am seriously excited.
I don’t remember learning to tie my shoes or how to not shit […]
It has now been a full week without any nail nibbling. I am not ready to claim victory for myself just yet, though. These things are getting to the length where they are always noticable to me when typing. Plus, and this will sound weird to those who have never bitten their […]
Here is my day in a nutshell. This is a piece of an IRC log with my friend Jenn:
[22:41] [g00`Fee] I have been depressed the last couple days myself

[22:41] [g00`Fee] ugh

It has now been five full days since I have bitten my nails. The temptation isn’t really there at this point, either. Ever since getting that manicure, I have not had any rough edges to distract or annoy me into biting them. In fact, the anise oil has sat unused since the […]
Before I get into the topic at hand, I must chime in that I am quite happy with the anise oil as a nail-biting deterrent. When I first put it on, I cannot even lift a glass to my mouth to drink without almost gagging from the fumes. After several minutes, however, it […]
Walgreen’s called me this afternoon and told me that my special order of anise oil had arrived. That was speedy…
When I picked it up, I had a few surprises awaiting me. The first was the price. At $12.99 an ounce, one would think that some endangered animal had to be clubbed to […]
I’ve given up on Thum. I just got back from vacation where I didn’t chew my nails at all. Unfortunately, they are nubbins after going to work today.
My next attempt is going to be anise oil. I put an order in for a bottle at Walgreens after work. This will probably […]
OK. I’ve bitten my nails for my whole life and have decided it is about time to knock it the hell off. I have heard of products designed to aide in this process by making the nails taste so disgusting that biting them creates reinforcement for not biting them. One such product […]
