Excavation

Digging your nose on the day, or the day after, you've clipped your nails can be very frustrating - those nasty boogers seem to slip away at the last possible second.

Moral of the story: Don't clip your nails down completely. Leave a little bit on for digging in and for chewing on purposes (in any order - I don't necessarily favor a particular sequence of actions).

You think that's frustrating?
What about when you get it out, but just can't seem to get rid of it because of the semi-solid consistency???

grrrrrrr

Ha! Ha! One problem at a time. Yeah, you're right - the getting rid part is a whole different ballgame. I think I'm close to perfecting "the flick" - that allows me to get rid of it real quick. Once it leaves my thumb however, I have no control over its trajectory or general direction. Need more practice.
