    Give Me Liberty, or Give Me Death...of my nails?!?!

Not trying to be catty- I used to have long nails too once upon a time. But then I started playing music and they simply did not fit into my lifestyle anymore.

    Now I obsess about my leg muscles instead.
    Lisa SH.. so, Okaayyy sista, what are ya trying to say ..."give me liberty, or give me death!"... meaning, what's it gonna be g/f..."the Bike, or the Nails"! Well, yes, if I HAD to chose between my baby bike, and my beautiful nails...*Deep 12-step-program-for-short-manicures Breath" ...I would chose..MY BIKE!

    HOWEVER...I would have to save the cut off nails and glue them to the ends of my full fingered cycling gloves/mittens for my current "dog protection program". Yes, since I look like a cat, which btw...Cat Woman on the Batman tv show years ago as kid was my feminist idol...and Wonder Woman was right up there also, I scare dogs away by giving them my best mean alley cat meow, and flash the nails-LOL .

    On a serious note, even if my nails were short, I do have really long fingers in comparison to the rest of my hand size. So, I think Knotted's tip on buying men's gloves might work for me either way. Gee, now that's irony...my extreme feminist manicure in a man's glove?!?!

    BTW...no "cattiness" offense taken ... I know what you mean . Guess I'm just with that Georgena Terry chick who thought ladies shouldn't have to settle for a fit on a boy's bike, just because they liked a male dominant sport... if I ever sew lady's bike gloves in my basement on my sewing machine specifically for broads who like a long manicure, I'll blog about it-LOL! I'm that kind of a crazy. Thanks, Lisa...

    But cats RETRACT their nails in discreetly when not in use. I suspect a cat would think it rather vulgar to have one's nails extended all the time.

    Ohhhh...thanks, Lisa SH... that clears up the question why in my mind that I am social outcast in the feline world... I have offended my own kind . They think I am on the attack, and run! It' clear now... crazy kitty coming, scatter! Oh my... thanks for the tip!

    BTW...besides nails, I want those leg muscles of yours too...whaaaa ..but I know there's only one way to get that...more pedaling for me!
