.....just like always ;)

I was telling her about breaking nails (sometimes) on hard to open folders.

She said "Why don't you try smoothing the nail off with a nail file?"

WHAT :eek:

Looked at my thumbnail before and after borrowing her emery board.

Smooth now (and I feel more feminine LOL) and they do not split down

to the nub as easily. I have a theory the smooth does not let the nail

split down as readily. But I could be wrong :D

Hope you are all having a nice start to the weekend !!!
 
Dude ..... what next ..... nail polish and a manicure??? :D

I guess I never really thought about it, but I've always filed down my nails a little bit after clipping them.

Best of weekends to you too, my friend! :thumbup:
 
We need a sticky, "No Metro sexuals in traditional forum." It goes without saying really.....:D
 
Aw shucks, guys ....... all I do is fold out the little metal file that comes on the clippers and take off the rough edges. It seems so innocent. I promise that's all I do. Can't I stay and play for a while more on the Traditionals? :yawn:
 
I've always rub mine on my jeans for a few seconds after I cut them.



It works, and sounds much more traditional than your method:p

LOL :D :D :D

I will TRY to be good ;) but I have to leave now for my Mani/Pedi
 
This makes sense (although it's never occurred to me to apply to fingernails).

A friend of mine used to be a jet mechanic in the Navy. He'd told me that the guys who were responsible for maintaining the airframe/fuselage would drill holes at the ends of small cracks in the frame/sheet metal, to keep the cracks from spreading. I think this is also sometimes done to effect minor repairs to cracked windshields on cars, and I've also heard of woodworkers doing it to keep small cracks/checks in wood from splitting further. I think basically if you create a smooth, clean surface perpendicular to the 'grain', it eliminates/minimizes the possibility of applying lateral stresses that would otherwise act to split the material.
 
You guys are missin' the bigger picture here, did ya hear what he said?:eek:

Alright, now that I am back from my; callous buffing, chemical peel and pore cleansing, I want to make sure this thread stays in a manly man discussion.:foot: Does anyone know a good esthetician?:o
My complexion is not what it used to be.

Its way beyond staying manly.... After reading your last post, I really feel the need to go out and split some wood and change the oil in something :D
