You didn't seem to understand the difference between your and you're either, so I wouldn't laugh too hard.

you're = contraction of "you are"

your = possession, "that is your car"

Went through this years ago with children in school, used the shampoo and comb, Mom had the best luck using a hairdryer, the little buggers didn't like the heat, it was far more effective than the shampoo.

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?

You're living in a bubble. I've worked in multiple universities and I can tell you that many professors and department heads are functional illiterates. Corporations are even worse. The problem seems to be that everyone takes short cuts even if they know better and communication is garbled or even lost because the 'short cuts' have no standard. You know, as in written language? It's depressing, demoralizing and, unprofessional.

Shouldn't that be due not do?

which theater in Boston is this? Were you watching Harry Potter?

It was an AMC theater next to Boston Commons

We watched Horrible Bosses

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.

I miss the old NuclearNed stories too. Best of luck though!

I was using "their" as a replacement for the contraction of "they're".

You are a dumbass. See - there I used 'dumbass' as a replacement for your screen name. You can't just go around and make up your own replacement words

If that didn't give you lice, I don't know what will.

Yep, fucked that one up, but it's fixed and I'm not fucking arguing over it because I know I was wrong. You sir are wrong but you won't admit it for some stupid reason, you just keep trying to pass it off or blame someone else.

I miss writing them...

My job has been keeping me really busy for several months with a major project that just finished yesterday. Maybe I can get back to my sacred ATOT duties soon...

Real Life > ATOT.


Just write them when you have time

Damn I thought this was about me... :biggrin:

 

[gorcorps]

Your freaking out over lice?

LOL

Their nothing to worry about, its not like you have tuberculosis or something serious. Lice like clean hair, if anything getting lice means that your a clean person. If your hair is oily or dirty, the lice can not attach to the hair

Just get some lice shampoo, and a good fine comb. After washing and drying her hair, use the comb to look for the lice.

I had lice as a kid, my kids had lice,,,, its nothing to worry about. Their a common pest that have to be dealt with.

Now I'm not really a grammar nazi, but this is so outrageously bad that I have to ask if you're (you + are) doing this on purpose to get under people's skin. If so... nicely done. If not... may god help you and lice ridden children.

edit: guess I'm not the only one who noticed

Couple of months ago, some lady here in KY used Acetone on her head to kill the lice.
Probably would have worked had she not had to have a cigarette immediately afterward!

 

[maziwanka]

i guess guys have it easier. if i ever had lice, i'd just buzz my head.

 

[Texashiker]

RTT (read the thread), I posted that I got their and they're mixed up.

So what?

As for correcting my original post using their instead of they're, no, I will not correct it, just deal with it.

In someone can not understand something with a couple of minor grammar issues, maybe they need to loosen up and not take life so serious.

I keep my hair really short anyway, so when she found out she was infested I went full steam ahead with the precautionary buzz cut.

Fixed that for you.


Thought: there's all sorts of dusting sprays that get rid of lice on chickens. I wonder if they're harmful to humans? Ditto other chemicals for lice; I don't know if those are harmful to humans as well. i.e. there are flea medicines for dogs that are dangerous for cats. But, I do know that some of the most effective medications for lice only get rid of one type of lice on goats - it took a 2nd type of stuff to get rid of the other type. (Biting lice vs. sucking lice.) Then again, goat lice and chicken lice are different types of lice, and I don't believe either is capable of living on human hosts.

My grandmother used turpentine on my hair! Thank gods she took a pause from her smoking while doing it. And according to Snopes, it works . . .


+1

I wouldn't be surprised if regular household solvents worked.
Turpentine and mineral spirits dissolve everything and anything. They strip paint and counter tops, they destroy linoleum floors, they dissolve plastic buckets. Acetone would probably work too. The only problem is how incredibly flammable they are.

It might cancel out the dangers if the kid is in a tub full of water when doing this. If some freak accident happens, dunk under water and the problem goes away. Oil fires float on water but acetone dissolves in water instead of forming layers.

Shaving works just as good and there's no danger at all. Do that instead.
