bobquasit | State lines and nails

I forgot to include this in my long weekend post, but I learned something interesting during my manicure. When the first shop was too crowded, and we went down the block to a different manicuring place, we also crossed the state line, from Rhode Island to Massachusetts.

I'd never had a manicure in MA before, and (incidentally) Teri was trained and licensed in Rhode Island.

Anyway, as I mentioned, I have a lot of hard, dead skin around the upper sides of my fingernails. The manicurist somehow removed a lot of that skin, something I'd never experienced before. I asked Teri how she'd done it...and Teri couldn't tell me. What she DID tell me was that skin removal of that sort is actually illegal for a manicurist to do in Rhode Island. Apparently there's a risk of infection, and RI is stricter than MA.

I have to say, though, that it's nice to have relatively smooth fingertips. I may actually go and get a manicure at that shop every month or two.

Jeeze.

I'll bet that sometimes it's hard to believe that I'm straight, isn't it?
