Internet advice

Yes, I'm asking for some.

I've always had thin fingernails prone to chip and peel, but over the past several months they've been an especially awful flaking mess. I keep them short for climbing and hardly ever paint them, but I'd like to look at my own hands without cringing.

Has anyone had any luck with hair/nail supplements? I've tried fish oil, but hadn't noticed any improvement by the time the fish burps drove me away.

The return of the Hall of Shame

Found in the bookstore recently, a cover blurb (I think it was front-cover, but it might have been on the back) taken from a review:

"[Main character] is as hard-boiled as a four-minute egg"

Either this reviewer and I have different ideas about hard-boiling eggs, or the publisher decided a bitch-slap of a blurb was better than none at all.
