Lice are like any other pest, I dont think its "that" big of a deal.

The gross factor is that the lice are in your hair, you can see it and they itch. But nobody worries about the E. Coli living in their belly.

The wife has lice, its no big deal. Get a can of roach spray like amdhunters mom did, and kill those bugs.

for whatever it's worth, the strain of e coli in your gut is harmless. It's e coli O157:H7 that you have to worry about.

That isn't being a grammar nazi. That's like 3rd grade level mistakes, not some esoteric ridiculous grammatical rule that nobody really knows.

Correct my understanding of the usage then

Their = person or thing, "Their going to a party"

There = location or place, "we are moving over there"

They are going to a party gets shortened to They're going to a party.

Nothing to do with Their.
 
Anyone else itchy now?

I was disappointed that the OP isn't 1000 words long and humorous. 🙁 Good luck, OP. And, someone mentioned in the older thread that they're amazed that there isn't a "cure" - think about it - you're trying to kill an animal that's living on top of another animal. There are LOTS of things that will kill all the lice and nits - problem is, those things harm the host as well.
 
Shave her head and then bic it. Only way to be sure. It'll grow back eventually.

And yes Texas, your use of grammar was not correct. Their =/= They're

EDIT: F&*K

First, very disappointed that I came into a Ned thread and was not treated with the expected story time.

Second, Texashiker has nailed it pretty well. She may need to use the shampoo for about a week, twice a day.

My daughter had them and using the shampoo and comb we were able to get rid of them.

I finished high school in 1986, went to college in the late 1990s, so "excuse" me if I have forgotten a little bit since that time.




That is where I had a misunderstanding, I thought they're and their were interchangeable.

Shit, English isn't my first language, it isn't even my second. Yet I know the difference between their, there and they're.

And if I can remember something, you should too. :sneaky:


<-- this man has put trash in fridge and food in garbage can. Multiple times.

LOL....

I usually do not rag on people with grammar or spelling errors on a message board because it's so informal and the error is usually do to just not paying attention and being caught off guard. I am not going to rag on you, but aren't you over 30? If so, how did no one ever catch this error in the work place?
