How'd you quit? Trying to break the habit.

well, my way won't work for most - i have a little girl.

she bites, and we made a bet on who would quit first. neither of us have bitten too much since. (i think we each cheated a bit early). anyway, i just started making sure i took my finger out of my mouth everytime i started. it was a little odd at first, because some of the times were subconscious. but after making it a prioriety - it's been fairly easy since. i just clip like every two-three days so they don't get long enough to be tempting.

This thread makes me wonder how the caveman took care of these types of things.

Before they had metal, how did they take care of fingernails, toenails, cutting hair, brushing teeth, etc?

so yeah, I bite 'em. and then manually tear them off once a week or two. Is that weird, or do men normallly clip their fingernails? I feel my teeth are much more accurate.

now to get weirder. I bite my toenails once a month or so, and then tear at them with my fingernails. I never felt that toenail clippers were large enough or had the proper curve to trim my toenails.


pps. I usually take care of all of this in the shower, so that should make it less gross.

You're supposed to have very little, if any, curve to your toenails. You're basically supposed to cut them straight across.
