SAFETY FIRST

Do you know how blessed you are with so 

many government agencies to watch after

your health?  And of course the yellow pages

are full of people who want to do one thing

or the other to help you - for a price.

I grew up in the "West".  I guess it was

the wild west.  We had to do it ourselves

if we wanted it done.  And even worse,

there was no agency to tell us how to 

do it, or if we were allowed to do it at

all.  But, some how we did manage to 

survive.

After over eighty years of experience in 

living, I did not want it all to go to waste.

So, I decided to pass on some safety

hints on something that could help every

one.  

Not every one wants to raise rabbits,

garlic, or even repair their car.  So, I picked

on safety in finger nail care.  I have read

several times that even a dead person's 

nails and hair continue to grow for a period

of time after they die.  Now, I have not been

dead yet.  I have faced death, but God in his

mercy pulled me through it.  But safety in

finger nail care could benefit the dead and 

the living.

You have decided to tend to your finger nails.  So you 

have your nails dry and clean.  You have laid out your 

your nail clippers or manicure scissors and plan on 

properly cutting straight across, then rounding your nails

out.

BUT, but, but.

Have you checked with your doctor.

Why?  I don't know.  But like myself, you know that 

any health advice always ends with check with your doctor.

So, check with your doctor to see if you are healthy enough

to undertake this endeavor.

Then before you start, lay your clippers and emery board

out.  But do not use them until you have the proper safety

equipment on and in place.

You will need:

1.  A hard hat.  you never know when a clipped nail

can fly around and injure you.

2.  Saftey glasses.  same reason.

3. Steel toed boots.  When you are concentrating on

your nails you could easily step on you toes.

4. Last but not least, a good heavy pair of 

work gloves to protect you fingers while you

work on your nails.  Clippers and scissors

could be real hard on your little pinky if

miss guided.

One other thing that can be very helpful today.

No matter how you do it, some snowflake is 

going to be offended by the way you do it.

And you do not want to end up in court because

some one is offended.  You do not dare to offend

anyone in this day and age.  They are not mature

enough to handle life.

So plan on doing it while most other people are

asleep.  And safer yet would be to do it in 

the basement or perhaps hide in the attic.

Remember when you are done,

check with your doctor.
