I recall them and tossing them but very reluctantly. I can sure
understand your desire to save them. Not sure about any value.
Tangent: Anyone see American Idol last night? Well, there was a guy who
has saved his fingernails in a plastic bag for the past 7 years. He
seemed to have no insight into this compulsion (or at least none he'd
admit to). He brought his baggie full of brown fingernails with him to
the show. Anyway, I'd say he may be crossing over the border.
Fingernail Tangent x 2.
Weird, now that I think about it. I saw 5 minutes of a show a month ago
or so. The woman with the longest fingernails in the world. The nails
were about as long as her arms, curved, gross and dangerous looking.
She has to modifiy how she uses her hands per their length. Anyway, I
remember being struck by when being asked her reason for doing this she
had no explanation at all. She said something like "I don't know, years
ago I just kinda let them grow and never bothered cutting them again".
I just find the seemingly lack of insight into their extreme behavior
oddly fascinating. But I'll stop now.
