If you wanted to flail on a V1, you don't need a weight vest. Just do what I do:
EAT MORE BACON!

I think I'm getting an ingrown toenail. It doesn't hurt too much, more just uncomfortable. I've never had one before though so I can't be sure.
Does anybody have experience with ingrown toenails?

soak your foot in some hot water with Epsom salts in it.

I got them all the time as a kid and ended up having a procedure done on both big toes, where the doctor removed about half of the toenails (cut them down the middle and pulled off half the nail with some pliers) and killed that portion of the nail "follicle" (?) with some chemical. It hurt to walk for a few weeks, but basically solved the problem. Pretty extreme, but it worked.

The only thing that somewhat helped was "medical manicure" (dont know the right term in english), where some "paper" was stuffed in under and around the toenail, to widen the flesh around it, so that it could move out again.
Welcome to a life of ugly, wierd toes! (But sandals and flipflops are ugly anyways…)

When I was a kid I narrowly avoided having to have this done by using the Epsom salts bath described above. Also, wearing sandals/non-constricting shoes whenever possible was part of the treatment. My younger brother was not so lucky, and it sounds extremely unpleasant to let it get to the point of medical intervention.

Well, hijacking airplanes became quite hard, with all that new safety stuff they have, so he had to hijack your thread! qwert
Hijacking airplanes is not that hard. But I agree, hijacking a thread is way easier.

I don't recommend this. Recently I spent the better part of three weeks visiting friends and family, and generally eating way too much. I came home to discover I'd gained somewhere around 5 to 8 pounds. It's been a bitch to try to lose it again.
On the other hand, yesterday I put on a backpack that weighed more than I do. Walking with it on was quite the challenge, but taking it off was quite easy.
So, really, if you have reason to put on weight, I'd recommend putting it on in a form you can easily take it off again.
GO

5-8lbs!? Pfft! Amateur.
I've given myself an extra 20lbs since my son's diagnosis in November.

Yes, but Kartessa's method gives us the instantanious self gratification we so often deny ourselves. No more starving yourself of the best things out there, like bacon, cookies and pasta with alfredo sauce. No more guilt about cracking that extra beer (or three) after work. No more self hatred when you have ice cream for breakfast....and you get wicked strong fingers.
Sounds like the best of both worlds.

Hmm... some quick math suggests that I gained weight much more quickly. And really sorry to hear your son's unwell.

Hmm... you make an excellent point. But then my wife starts calling me Tubby, and I don't like that very much. Maybe if I stop bathing she won't notice the wobbly middle when I take my shirt off - she'll be too busy gagging and backing away.

Wtf mods!? I posted this about climbing, training and weight gain. Why you gotta near-shit-can the post and send it to scummunity?!
One OT reply and it's banished to the darkest corners of the forum. Fuck, even NA's hijacking in the name of "ingrown toenails" can still help climbers.
Now my stoner joke will be filled with ponies and Chad.

It is sad to be banished to Community. I felt that my ham sandwich thread was totally about climbing.

Well yea, ham sammies are climbing. Perhaps trad climbing, but those specific areas are little used.
Yeah, if the "Living out of your car" thread gets to stay in "Climbing", then this one and the ham sandwich one ought to be able to go back too . . .
