Remember the scene in Gone With the Wind with Mammy and the lye soap? LOL

Yeah...and remember the scene in The Shawshank Redemption? Fire hose first, turn around, fire hose second blast, turn around, throw the handful of de-louosing powder on the prisoner?

[cyborg]

Yeah I sure do... I couldn't help but think. Never would happen today that's for sure!

If you're Dan Ra^ther, you can wash both at the same time.

All those Left Wing media types have always done it backwards on the advice of Krumbling Kerry. That's why they are all sh!theads.

Nit-picking? No just some advice to give Dims (parasites) a wide path.

All of us except my hubby got them. He was out of town. My twin daughters were 3 years old and had very thick hair. We tried the shampoo and they still were there.

Then we spent an afternoon with mayonaise in our hair with cellophane wrapped over our hair. We looked hillarious. After that, they didn't bother us.

Regrettably, lice, cockroaches, ticks, RATs and other such vermin have pretty high resistance to radiation. Flamethrowers or massive doses of chemicals will do the trick. High time to bring back DDT.
As a bonus question: if a can of DDT were to be left open in DNC headquarters, how will it affect their operation? A can of malathion?

I unfortunately did a lot of research on this some years ago. Lice like clean hair better than dirty...my then 11 year old was going thru a not taking a shower phase. When the middle one got lice, they just kept multiplying and staying on her hair...less slick to grab onto.

the lice are becoming resistant to the RID and NIT stuff. It is better to go to the products at headlice.org and order the comb.

[GSlob]

Wouldn't shaving be better still?

[merry10]

I have three girls. I didn't think that was a true option for me! We got rid of it after 10 days. It was exhausting and expensive until we bought the comb. Don't buy the furniture spray; spend your time vacuuming and getting the lice off the head with the comb.

Maybe those Muslim women have the right idea with their chador-thingamabobs...

...especially if they ride the city busses in Redding, CA.
