To pluck or not to pluck

June 30th, 2010

So I have this toe nail that is ready to fall off.  In fact, after I was done teaching swimming lessons today, it would flip up like the lid on a top loading washing machine.  That said, it was still hinged to the base.

It’s like when you are a kid and you have a loose tooth, did you pluck it out when it got loose or did you just wait until it dangled there so nasty for all to see, just waiting for it to fall out on its own?

I am a waiter, which is actually funny because I have no patients.  It was more that I was scared it was going to hurt.  I never let anyone touch my teeth.  I never pulled out my own teeth.  I just waited.

I am hoping the hinges of this toe nail will just let go, so when I walk off the pool deck it stops spitting and bubbling water right out of the lid.

    Thank god you have no “patients” because your bedside manner is for shit. You also have no “patience” except, apparently, when you are waiting for shit to fall off your body. Be sure to save it for KP.

    I can’t stand loose stuff hanging off me but you should keep it. It’s adding drag to your swim workout which can only make you faster in the long run (assuming you remove it or it falls off before the IM).
