Clean a litter box and scrape at some dried-up stuck cat shit with a Clorox wipe with your thumbnail. Do it so hard you rip through the wipe and wind up scratching up the shit with your actual thumbnail. Realize this after you've finished, wash your hands really well but still think about it hours later when you stick your thumb in your mouth to bite the nail.

That's how I stopped anyway. Dontknow

Someone told me to really think about all the stuff you touch in a day. And I did. And I stopped.

Oh I thought you'd like to know I posted a pic on r/aww last week of Teddy (the ex's dog) and she became a meme. I won the internets for a day!

Ha. I just posted about this in here about a week ago. I've bitten my nails my whole life. I mean serious biting, where there's not even a nail anymore, lol. July 26th or somewhere around there I just decided to stop finally and I did. Putting nail polish on helps cause then you don't wanna mess that up. I don't know though, truly what made be finally stop this time. VQ's suggestion sounds best. Ewww.

oh I meant to ask the moms... how old were your kids when they started to learn subtraction in school? My middle nephew started learning with pictures in Kindergarten but will learn with numbers this year in first grade (reasonable IMO), my oldest nephew goes to a "better" school and just now saw number subtraction for the first time and is really struggling with it. He's in third grade. I thought that was rather old to be starting subtraction.


I specifically remember learning multiplication and long division in third grade. Though I obviously have no kids of my own so I have no idea what should realistically be reasonable or not.

My kids are in first and third right now. Both started learning subtraction and even basic multiplication in kinder. The concepts are there, and in first they are expanded. By third we're working on multiplication.
