Oh My Poor Toenail!
I had mentioned a few months ago that after the Chicago Marathon, I had gotten two black toenails on my two big toes. The left one was worse than the right toenail. I have been patiently waiting for them to fall off.
Well, just under 2 weeks ago, I bumped the left toenail and lo and behold, half the toenail detached. I have been waiting for the other part to detach and its getting pretty close :-). I’m a wimp when it comes to pain so I don’t want to pull the rest of the nail off nor do I want to run until it comes off.

1 shot of tequila. Wait 10 minutes and then yank. Whallah! No more nail. And it is not too painfull at all. I had a huge bloodblister that balloned most of my right baby toe last August during a gruel. When I got home and assessed the injury I decided to puncture the blister and drain it. After that the toenail was hanging on by just a little skin. I twisted it and yanked. The toenail still has not grown back. This of course cuts my toenail clipping times by 1/10th. : )
