in may i contracted a [ew!] toenail infection on the toe next to my big toe on my left foot. ewww. right before my friend's wedding and the open-toed ugly overpriced shoes i had to wear. the toenail was yellow, very very thick and very scaly. disgusting. i googled it and found it can be caught by going barefoot in gym locker rooms, and recently i'd been showering at my gym at least once a week and walked barefoot on the gross tile floor. so this was my fault. still, i had no idea what to do about it and was panicked over it spreading to my other toenails and foot.
astrologically, pisces "rules" the feet--two fish, two feet--eventhough, ironically, fish have no feet!. but anyway, most sun sign pisces always have something good or bad going on with their feet. a few years ago i had a ganglion cyst on the top of my right foot and had it drained. disgusting. then i had a corn that hurt like hell on my right foot below the pinky toe that i finally dug out myself with a pair of scissors. eiiiww! then i got an awwwesome case of athlete's foot a couple summers ago, that caused the bottom of my feet to resemble red raisins and itched like hell. after curing that i started "powdering" my feet and washing them a few times a day.
i'm also a stickler about shoes. although i'm a cheap ass where most apparel is concerned [last weekend i bought 2 teeshirts for $1 at RiteAid], i can't handle cheap shoes or socks. i've spent upwards of $150 for decent sneakers and boots, plus only nike socks [they're the best] to keep my feet happy. feet are often totally ignored until there's a problem. and when feet have a problem, your whole body sort of has a problem sometimes.
if you know a pisces, ask them about their feet! i'm certain they'll have some oddball story to tell.
