I vividly remember this scene.
A friend & I drove to Detroit to see this movie when it was just released.
I thought....
This is how westerns should be!

You were lucky.
We were so poor that lice avoided us.
I never even heard of a kid with lice.
Prolly only the rich ones had'm.
Well, given that if you want to get rid of them you have to spend money, rich could afford them more. I stupidly bought a cheap store brand lice shampoo at first and that obviously has done nothing. I went out and bought Nix yesterday morning. $20 for it. And of course, if you have more than one person in the house with lice (and let's get real here if one has lice someone else in the house, if not all, have lice) then you'll likely need more than one box. The $4 or $5 bottle of lice shampoo just isn't going to cut it. :(

Yeah. It's like anti-biotics. There's the proof of evolution right there. Natural selection. The bugs (both kinds) that can survive the medication go on to reproduce more that likely will survive it and eventually we have bugs that can't be killed off by usual means. And with lice, even if you do everything you can, even if you are treating, gelling, combing, daily washing with dandruff shampoo (yes, that helps), and manage to pretty much eradicate them from your household, if everyone else isn't doing the same then it can all be for naught. If I get every lice and nit off of my kids' hair and they go back to school and play with their friends again, at least one of them probably having lice too (that they may have gotten it from in the first place and may not be getting treated as thoroughly), then the whole nightmare can start all over again. :(

My solution is to avoid all human contact.
Aside from reduced lice exposure, it has the side benefit of avoiding all human contact.

Unfortunately you can't really do that when children are involved. People tend to frown upon children being locked away from all other people. It's suspicious. Then again, one would never have children if one avoided "all human contact". The contact is pretty important for the production of children. ;)

Warning, I’m annoyed

Should probably just keep my fingers still but I have got to type this and hopefully get it out of my system. Since January (after a health scare), I have lost 33 pounds. I have gone from a size 44 to a size 38 waist. I have changed my diet drastically, get up at 5:00am to exercise (Aerobics, Yoga, Martial Arts, etc.) , exercise when I can throughout the day (walking, push-ups, etc.)

So the other day I am looking for clothes that fit and I get this comment from Mrs. Wu “don’t waste money you will just gain the weight back and fit your old clothes”…. Thanks for the support.

Ignore that crap. There are always people who want to be the second crab in the bucket.

Given that I didn't make fun of your undersized snowballs, and actually said you have the biggest balls on RF, I'm hurt. :( That's how I'm doin'. ::cry:

I had to redact what reading that made me want to suggest you do to respond to that.

Hard to get motivated when you feel like everything is pointless.
That's where I'm at now. Doing anything except laying in bed and sleeping just seems like such a massive chore right now. Getting up for an interview a couple days ago was very difficult, and I nearly over slept an appointment today because apparently my alarms snooze button eventually just shuts the alarm off after so many pushes. I just want to crawl back into bed but I have another appointment in a couple hours.

I apologize. And in return, let me say, those golden bracelets are very slimming.

With my latest job denial email, I'm wondering which is worst; we moved on with another candidate, or "We have chosen a candidate whose experience was nearly identical to our needs."
