11/29/2004: Extra fingers and toes

[KronKyrios]

Good question about scanning x-rays, jinx... I have never tried it, but i imagine someone at a copy center would know what to do... let me know if you find a good method, and I will try it for my x-rays... if i ever find 'em again.

There is one other nuisance I can think of, off-hand. The nails on the insides of the thumb rub together during daily chores, and will end up splitting tone nail or the other, usually right at the quick, sometimes below it.

In the long term, if I develop arthritis, I am sure that is going to be a problem spot. I remember when I was a kid, and I first started popping my knuckles, it hurt like hell to pop my thumb(s).

To go back to an earlier thread of this topic, I did not have my extra thumb cut off at birth because they did not know which thumb would be dominant. They decided to let it grow and see. When they finally decided that they could cut off either, and it would be the same, I was able to put my own two cents in... I specifically remember crying my eyes out, thinking they were going to take it away from me.

I still feel the same, now. It is so much a part of me, i would never consider cutting one off. When I was a teenager, I got into numerology, and found out my number was 11, based on other factors... but i didn't believe in coincidences at the time. I dont believe in numerology now, but I am still fond of the number 11, because it expresses my individuality.

I'm Unique... just like everybody else.
