*wince* I still have all my fingernails, but I've had a few close calls that required nursing the nail bed back to health, including a fumble that involved a spike that I was trying to drive into a landscape tie with a sledgehammer (choking up on the handle to wield it like a normal hammer, not swinging the whole thing ).
