LET US HAVE AN EDUCATIONAL MOMENT. #NailFiles See the white spot on the edge of this nail? That’s not a light reflection. Most of my nails have them.
For new folks, my hands have crap circulation and I have a lot of infected cuticles and the occasional trip to the wound clinic. My toenails are worse. I’ll spare you the details. So I saw this and was “oh fuck”.
Got on the internet, started researching. Causes were like doom, gloom, impending death, impending amputation (seriously), deadly nutrient deficiencies, and at the bottom of the list as an afterthought, USE OF ACETONE IN NAIL PRODUCTS.
Probably 80% of nail polish removers have acetone in them.
So if you do your nails at all and see that, you probably aren’t dying.
THANK YOU AGAIN DR GOOGLE.

All right then! #StoryTime Once upon a time in my misspent youth, I was the purchasing and accounts payable (did the bills) for an all in one manufacturing/sales/shipping facility.
That included buying parts for the factory, which ran Goss presses to make boxes.
Oh, excuse me, CORRUGATED CONTAINERS. (This was also the place where the owner loved me and the office manager hated me. Good times.)
Right, so I'm doing the daily grind, and the dude who runs the factory puts in a PO for a part for one of the presses.
Purchase orders always had all kinds of information attached to them, but there was a part number, so I just called up our guy at Goss and was like "Hey, I need a number seventy-five double Q" and he was "sure, that'll be $300."
