I have a question to add, if you don't mind me borrowing your thread for a minute Selina. I have been invited to go with friends to get pedicures together (which sounds like a LOVELY idea - I really wanted to go!) but I made up an excuse not to go because I have a small plantar wart on my big toe. I figured they wouldn't want to be pumicing that thing, and they are mildly contagious, (although, no one in my family has gotten them from me, nor has mine spread.) Is there a rule on that? What's the protocol? If it's no biggie, then I am heading out to book an appointment ASAP! But, if it's generally a no-no to go when you've got one, then I guess I'll just wait until I can get rid of the darn thing.
