Good luck with the jaw! I'm glad that noninvasive remedies exist, and I hope they work. I've been chewing my nails and fiddling with rough spots since I was in pre-school. Though nail-biting is terrible for one's incisors, I hadn't appreciated till reading this post how (relatively) mild its damage is, compared to related habits.

eReader-format copies of the nominees would be a very fine thing to have, though I'm not eligible to vote--if it'd still be okay. (username @ lj works for me, too.) Thanks.
