Biting my nails. I’m not even sure how or when I quit it.

I remember when I was younger and one of my mom’s cousins told me she would buy me anything I wanted if I stopped biting my nails. I think it was around that time I did but I’m not totally sure. I do remember that I didn’t see her often but the next time I saw her, I did stop and she didn’t buy me the LEGO set I asked her for lol

I see her every now and then (this is like 15-20 years later) and I’m always tempted to ask her about that old ass LEGO set she never got for me that I really wanted 😂

Came here to say biting my nails. Only took me 4 decades.

  I was 35 when I quit. Did it because of work. Hazardous manufacturing.

    I quit at 25 because I had brackets and two years after I no longer had brackets I started again, quit three years ago thanks to my now wife.

I didn’t bite but I used to tear my nails, sometimes until they bled… and then some. I kicked the habit quite literally overnight after I started painting them. A little over 4 years later, I think I’ve done it once, though I also typically wear extensions now so it’s kinda hard to even if I wanted

Do you even remember the exact set? Depending on rarity, some of them SKYROCKETED in value.

Hey cousin! Remember that $20 lego set you owe me? Yeah. It costs $4,000 now.

  Of course I do! I was OBSESSED with that set lol. It was a small one too, I wasn’t trying to be too demanding but I was big into collecting the RES-Q series. But I have checked on it a few times since then.
  
  It was about $10 USD and now it’s worth about $50 USD set # 6445 www.brickeconomy.com/…/lego-res-q-emergency-evac
  
  I used to get those little yellow catalogues and I’d sit there and stare at this set for hours on end.
