Now, about the nail polishing thing...............At the risk at giving away too
much personal information here, let me explain to you, that Livia uses thinner
to
remove unwanted oil, paint, grease, on just about anything auto body related.
With the kind of work she is doing lately, she's had no polish on her finger or
toe nails lately.
It's a matter of fact, she no finger nails left at all, due to much necessary
and unnecessary sanding on the tub and other panels. But she is still trying
very
hard to retain her dignity, grace, and sophistication, as difficult as this may
be in these trying times.
To make matters worse, she has just been offered a job as prepper/ painter at
the
local BMW dealership, which she has turned down, for there is no fame or fortune
in this kind of work.
