How do you position yourself while cutting your toenails?
I sit on the floor kind of indian style and lay a towel under my foot and I use this kind of clipper to catch the clippings:

I then shake out the towel in a garbage can.
My wife does it outside, bending forward with one foot on a bench, letting the clippings fall on the grass. (In warmer weather obviously)
As I age, it is getting more uncomfortable to contort myself to do this easily. Anyone else finding this?

I don't cut them, I have a bad habit of constantly biting my nails.

Similar to Blackbird's chick, but I am sitting on a patio chair. Outside as long as the weather permits. Too cold, old newspaper.

Don't be judgmental. I thought this was supposed to be about toenails.

Too much work to do it the way you guys do it. I do it in bed and just let the shards fall where they may. Its all natural after all.
Oh, and I'm too fat to bend over cut them or to sit aboriginal style (Indian style is racist BTW)

Not only do you have a number in your board name, you like Black Earl and you are PC...
Man! 3 strikes already!
But yeah, I clip em on my bed too...but I either sweep them up with my hand or break out the dustbuster...sometimes both.

I'm not PC, I'm considerate. The term Indian in Canada is very offensive, along the lines of Beaner or wet back for you americans out there.

NO...you're a bit confused. We call the MEXICANS beaners or wetbacks! Americans we just call Americans.
Besides, how would you sit "wetback style"?

I sit on the john and rest the foot I'm clipping on my other thigh with the waste basket right underneath to catch the clippings (of course, most nails go flying off in another direction).

I don't clip my toenails.
I just let them grow out until they get brittle and break off.
