Re: About soft EDS fingernails ...

word od advice on the vegemite front. Apply it veryvery very very

thinly, just the tiniest lightest scraping to start with ok, so that

you can easily see through it. for those not used to it, it is an

aquired taste, if you find you don not like it on toast etc, add it

to soups and stews for a flavour boost and vitamin E boost too (you

loose the intense flavour in cooking with it). i like it but only

thinly (my brother usedto eatit out of the jar with a spoon <shudder>
