Things that make you go - eeeeEEEEEEEEssssshh!

What icks you out?

A few weeks ago, I was doing laundry (really!). My fingernails had grown out quite a bit. Well, somebody's wet sock caught my little pinky nail and bent it all the way backwards.

eeeeEEEEEEEEssssshh!

Last week I was getting dressed, and noticed what felt like a marble in my armpit (which is weird, because I don't keep my marbles there!). It was a good, ole' fashioned swollen lymph node - which I've never had in my life. And there it was, just all sitting there being a big lump in a place where there should be regular unshaven hair.

eeeeEEEEEEEEssssshh

Now, some of you are picturing the unshaven hair.

eeeeEEEEEEEEssssshh

Well, the pinky nail went back into place, and broke off two days later. The pit lump is almost gone. Yet, anytime I just THINK about them.

Well, ya' know.

I totally feel for you with the bent nail, that juts totally grosses me out.

Do you use the same kind of deodorant all the time (i.e. do you keep buying the same brand.) I got a lump under my arm once and my doctor told me to change anti-perspirants, somehow those chemicals can build up....

But you should go see the doctor about that lump though....

I feel ya with the fingernail thing. I've been trying my darndest to grow nails and I flip them frequently. It freakin' hurts. Urgh. Those with no fingernails have no idea.

What a cute post. I could write on that one a good while.

One of my things is the little hairs that grow under the chin, and usually I discover them when I'm out in public and that's when I try to pull them out.

Ohhhhh and hot flashes -- you are probably way to young for those, but they can be a trip all by themselves.
