@G-Dog present and fairly accounted for, reporting some irregularity. Recommending LOTSA PRUNES!!!!
I'm too regular and I don't eat any stinking prunes. Now I have to take another pottie break and that makes me more grumpy

I have Will. He’s divesting himself of a few problems and will be back as soon as he is able. He sends his regards to one and all!
Well, I'm glad to hear @B-string is making progress. Look forward to his return.
"We're so grumpy" we've been been asked to leave many a fine establishment. Or is it just me?
I gotta go.
10 fangers...same toes, but...
Fingernails getting brittle, and since 1) I’m gigging 70/30 Guitar to bass, 2) I use my 3 right hand fingers and a thumb -only one of those- to pick with, then 3) the brittlenails can and do become really problematic.
Yes, I’m back to clear nail polish on 3 fingers...no qualms about. Beats the time my social finger nail split down to the quick and got a 11 gauge string caught under it...

Sally Hansen Vitamin E Oil and then a coat of Hard as Nails used to be what my guitar finger-picking friends swore by...no personal experience, but those guys were wicked fast players and they had had great looking nails!
That 11 gauge string misadventure just sounds painful.

...was that 10 total or 10 of each?

(Can’t believe the crap we go thru)...but yeah...Revlon or really whatever is laying around. I carry some in the gig bag.
The only way to remove said string was to cut each end of the string, get someone with a strong constitution and small pliers to yank it out. Massive alcohol was involved, plus several powers, some so clean up the blood, some to stifle the yelp...
Red nail polish will make you play faster
I'm back up to 9 fangers after tearing the sides off my left ring and little fingers.

We are missing @wcriley who is #1 of our illustrious membership. I always meant to ask him why his folks named him after a bathroom necessity! 
OK I’m just kidding WC, get your rear end back on line - we miss you!

10 F and 10T. Full body pain started up about an hour ago. Took Naproxen 500mg. Supposed to last 12 hours. Not working too well right now.
No red...especially in a classic country combo...the ghosts of Bob Wills and Waylon Jennings would NOT approve
I’ve been working on the house lights. We had small LED pot lights installed in the kitchen. Problem we discovered was if you were working in the sink you were always in shadow. I added another lamp over the sink.
In the en suite Dorothy asked for another lamp. I added another matching LED pot light for her and converted the two existing units to LED which they were supposed to be from the beginning! She now has plenty of light and far, far less heat. I likes it when I can make her happy.

If you haven't, Try B12 and D3 vitamins. Takes awhile but it helped me a lot.
Thanks Paul,
won't be long, little one got torn to down near the nail and it's still a bit tender on the strings, I can just about play but slides
kinda make me jump - been a long time since I bled on the strings but hey I could use a new set anyway

Oh geeze, I go and finish off working on the washing machine for a couple of hours and I come back to find the topic had DEvolved to doing one's nails for a gig 
You lot need constant adult supervision! This is why I only agreed to hand out the numbers short term, and subconsciously why have have put it off for a year now

Try some anti-pain bug bite spray. Helped me a lot when my skin cracked on my thumb.
Agreed. I get a B12 shot every month. It certainly adds vim and vigour for a while.
I'll check that out thanks Stumbo.
Tore the little one down to the meat and being an idiot I tried tooo soon and opened it up again. Now the flappy bit dried up and fell off, so I think the prob is that it's only got a thin cover of new skin back so far.
It's all good.
