I am making mad groovy progress on the thumb thing.
Now... you clicked past TMI so any of this in your own fault...
The thing is... I'm a creature of nasty habits...
I couldn't smile for shit... so I bought a web cam and practiced... no really...
I bit my nails down to freak'en stumps... for several decades... then bought a nail file and developed a new habit...
I have all kinds of bad habits... and you do too so stop shaking yer head...

The one that bugs the begeebus out of me.. is picking at my thumbs...
And I do it without any thought... unconciously using my first finger to pick absently at the skin beside my thumb nail...
Except... it's gross... I get what are basically evil hang nails... and haul 'em off... blood and sore spots...
It's freaking insane... I know this... but but but but... excuses excuses...

Any hoooo... I've been dedicated to smashing this habit.
Loads of hand cream... bandaide... little ones on each thumb... just enough to wake up my head when a finger starts to pick ...
It's a really strange thing... and I've never been able to break it.

Except now... as of today... I have no ongoing picks... it's all healing up great... and in a few more days...
They'll look like normal thumbs...

k... so now you're all grossed out now ... I know.
sue me... and talking about it just re-enforces my initiative to deal with this... :D
