I didn’t think I was “ready” and then I thought “only old people can have this surgery,” and then I thought, “you know what? I can’t see to do the things I did that I really liked, I can’t drive at night because of the glare of the lights, I have to have all the lights on in the house to see ANY thing, and I haven’t been able to read with my glasses on in six years. I’m tired of this!”
Now, because I put it off six months longer than I needed to, the left eye will be done by another doctor in another clinic. NOT what I expected...Obamacare lives.
Mostly like salt.
First, keep in mind that my knowledge of this treatment came by word-of-mouth from my Grandfather who has not been available for consultation since 1965...
The conversation was his explanation when I mentioned the students in my class who got the treatment - presumably from a parental unit - because they had critters in their hair..
For the lice, you used bottled shampoo or made some soapy goo by taking your trusty pocket knife and shaving soap off of a bar of the stuff into some water and letting it get 'gooey' that is, turning bar soap into a semi passable liquid - then stirring the aromatic hydrocarbon (diesel, kerosene, paint thinner, white gas, er, naptha, whatever you had on hand)(quantity unknown - maybe the old timers has some way of knowing how much was enough by smell, sight, or viscosity - who knows) into the goo and then shampooing with it. I guess that would even include the wood-ashes lye soap out on the frontier...;-)
I'm sure this treatment did not serve to alleviate dandruff though ;-) And I don't recommend getting a dose of headbugs just to experiment with how much coaloil, er, kerosene to mix into your shampoo to kill 'em off.. ;-)

Sorry folks. I’m speechless. This is a perfect “thing” for a Sunday! Enjoy! And pass it on...more folks need more of this!
So what happened to the kid? She’s last seen at 4:57.
Is there any other possibility?
She could have been a midget Gypsy fortune teller with a large following of Ghostbusters...
Or ended up somewhere in a cage with a long tail and soft fur...
They water the offending fields in much the same way dogs water trees.
Usually from the air in strafing runs.
Bad idea to be sneaking through there after dark.
Were you a scout? I do a “Be prepared” thing, too!
Oh, naptha. Thank you for the clarification!
Good night and sweet dreams, y’all!
Goodnight.
I was not a scout at any level. I was in the Army, if that counts toward anything scout-like.
The natural world is to me just as much a thing to be studied as any book subject or artistic procedure. I have always sought to fill my mind and hours with useful knowledge and skills. Survival skills would appear to have a high priority in that quest.
If I could have a reference manual for scouting, and for survival skills in general, I would like to have a Junior Woodchuck's Manual. It's more comprehensive and useful than anything I learned in the Army. All they taught me was about computers, electronics, and rocket science.
I’m still intrigued by koalaoil.
Wonder if it’d smell like menthol.
Could be - something like a Halls...
Maybe the start of a new fad - lick a koala, clear up your sinuses.
