Pluggers by Rick McKee for April 10, 2023

what about when putting on socks and shoes?

Aaah! The good ol’ pre-plugger years, when you still could nibble ’em off…

I let my foot doctor trim my toenails. It’s too hard otherwise. :/

True That !

Yep and the more you stretch the better you feel

A plugger uses a Podiatrist, it is medically unwise for people of a certain age to do their own nails.

When I was an IMT (Industrial Medical Technician) and treated foot injuries, I was shocked how long some of the older men let their toenails grow. They could almost have been able to climb telephone poles using them. (Of course, now that I’m that age, too, I sympathize.)

The battle of the bulge.

The foot cramps! The worst.

Thank you! I thought I was the only one who experiences this.

I quit trying. Now I go to a ‘nail’ place and they trim them for $10. Sometimes I splurge and get the foot massage, too. Nice!

The struggle is real!

Trimming the toenails can be a stretch in itself.

And breathe at the same time. A life goal.

I do it after getting out of a hot shower when my muscles are all relaxed. Take a deep breath, exhale totally and clip as long as I can hold my breath.

Long ago, I realized that I’ll never be a Plugger. The goalposts keep getting moved.

Eh what cat would want to trim his toenails.

Trimming my toenails was fine.,…3 years ago, funny how “age” catches up with you all of a sudden, now wheres my lunch..

I stretch by loosening my belt. Otherwise, when you grab a toe you can do your stomach a mischief.

I showed this to my wife. She is so ticklish no one can even pretend to touch her feet without her reacting.

I get pedicures. Can’t get right angle to cut nails. Could go to podiatrist but I like the pampering at a salon.

If you can put your socks on you should be able to trim your toenails, just rest your foot on your knee.

Yes, yes you should!

I do have a hard time stretching but still would rather do it myself- -no foot touching.
