I picked thru their hair...

Posted By: sml4 on 2007-04-16
In Reply to: Has anyone ever used Vasoline to get rid of lice? If so, sm - how do you get it out?

Took small section by section and picked thru and took each nit and pulled them out several times a day until I found no more nits. I had to go thru mine too since I got it too.

Oh. Been there done that. Picked myself up.

Babying someone and telling them to sit in a corner and cry is doing them NO good at all.


You are an enabler and not helping.


I would have picked different parents
My 16 and 18-year-old hippy selfish, self-centered, neglectful parents are now plastic surgery seeking, anti-depressant popping nightmares, and they are still whiny babies.
There were the 3 I had picked. Absolutely
love Adam. Yes, there will be 3 wildcards. The judges will bring back those they think need a second chance; hoewver, I don't know if the public picks the last 3 or if the judges do.
Glad you picked TyneLyn!
That is what I call her most of the time! I cover my hands and play peek-a-boo with her when she is on my lap. I open my hands really fast and she puts that pointy little nose in to lick me. We keep this up until I can't stop laughing. She ALWAYS WINS!

I think you are right. . Cupid and TyneLyn are not that terribly couragious, but they sure brighten up our lives! I will go downstairs now, to WHAT? I will email tomorrow on the Gab Board and tell you how she liked the party!
See who I picked in my message on first post.

I still haven't picked my jaw up off my desk. (sm)

I just got off a quick break and decided to watch this video that I was told would floor me.  It certainly did.  I knew our political system was corrupt, but I honesly had no idea "they" were this blatant about it. 


This is well worth the several minutes or so it takes to watch.  I didn't post this under either political board, because it transcends both the conservative and liberal spectrums.  Maybe this should go under the prayer request board now that I think of it.


If it's happening there, it's happening everywhere.  These "voices of the people" totally need a good smackin.

The fact that the 2 you picked up even mentioned
A long, long time ago, when I had just started working at a new job, a cute-looking guy who worked down stairs would always pass me on the stairs as I was going on my break. He seemed shy, we always just said hello. This went on for months. I liked him, but never talked to him for more than a few moments on the stairs.

Then, one morning, out of the blue, something really weird happened. As we passed each other, I said 'Hi!' as usual. After I was just past him, from behind, he said, 'Watch out, I might just rape you.'

????? Whaaaat.....???? Where on earth did THAT come from? I never spoke to him again.

Well, at about that time, there was a serial rapist in the area who over a period of time raped a lot of women in the nearby hills a popular hiking/jogging spot that I went to often, as well. He'd pick someone tired, offer to show them shortcut, and attack them in the wooded area he led them through.

Well, long story short, the guy I'd been saying hi to every morning at work, turned out to be that serial rapist! A late-20s-ish guy who was drop-dead cute, with an innocent-looking baby face. Boy, were my instincts ever NOT functioning with him, until he made that odd comment to me on the stairway! Before he made that comment, if I had bumped into him out at the hiking trail, I most surely would've gone along with him when he offered a short-cut, and become yet another statistic.


I was referring to my own hair, people hair. nm
:
I picked the olives off trees in Greece
and was I surprised. Tasted nothing like what I was used to. I love Milk Duds also. I think they are really good when you go to the movies along with your popcorn and cola. I hardly buy them if not at the movies, wonder why?
I picked out my ring and absolutely regret it!
I really wish I would have had him do it all and we would have just slowed down. I love my husband to pieces, but it would have been nice to have a proposal and a surprise to see my ring for the first time. We kind of just agreed to get married and then went ring shopping together, but now I wish there had been more romance involved. Just let the boy pick it out - If he knows you well enough like he should if you plan on marrying him, then he'll surely pick out something you like.
I once called in a pizza order to be picked up
and the guy on the phone said off-handedly....I don't need to charge you the extra dollar since it is not being delivered. I asked if that dollar went to the delivery person and he sheepishly said no. Really ticked me off.
The judges picked awful songs all the
way around last night, I thought. None of them were suited for the songs chosen for them & they were bad songs... And speaking of judges, I hope Cara or Kara is GONE next season. She gets on my last nerve.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.
 Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

We picked out ours together. They were matching nugget bands with 4 diamonds at angle. However....
last year was our 19th anniversary. I had lost my ring about 2 weeks before my anniversary (or so I thought anyway).

For my anniversary, he had bought me a 1 carat marquis diamond. He had hid my band and then miraculously the day I tell him about losing it, he says "Oh, I found it and put it in your ring box." He goes and gets my box and yes my band is in there but also my new ring as well. It has been 19 years (now getting close to 20), I still love him to death simply because I know he really listens to me (and of course the fact that he is a sweetie!)
Sounds like YOU picked a real loser to sleep around with and have kids with.
You have no one to blame but yourself.
Hair
Oh yeah! I have a long-haired cat. My living room looks like she had a fight with Santa and Santa lost his white trim and long beard. LOL
Hair
 Oh I know you meant people hair.  Just wanted to share that my cat is goning through the same thing these days.  I guess because she is just so close to my heart she feels like a child not a pet.
About your hair

What do you like/dislike the most about it?


I've been letting mine grow, so it's longer and looks really nice around my face. It's very soft. That part I like.


I hate hate hate having long hair when it's hot outside. Ponytail and hair clips, here I come.


hair
Yes, you can do this yourself. Go for it. IF you want an overall lighter color go for it. Make sure you read the box about if your hair is dark it will look like this or if your hair is this dark we do not recommend. I would also even recommend going to a Sallys Beauty Supply. They can help you as well. I used to do hair for a living before MTing.
Hair

Hey go for it.  Anything that looks good, do it.  I always wear my hair short because it looks the best.  Looking back at pictures I have almost the same haircut that I had at age 21 but am not trying to recreate that age it just looks the best on my.  My great nephews, ages 20 to 8, always tell me that there is no way I am almost the same age as their grandmother (my sister 3 years older) because she is old and I am not and I think it is because I act, dress and think young.  I don't wear mini's but my legs are one of my best assets and so I wear knee length skirts and heels many times and it makes me feel good.   Even if you wanted to wear a beehive -- now I am showing my age -- do it if it makes you feel good. I envy those gals with longer hair but I am small boned and small facial features and it just overwhelms me.  But a lot of older actresses have long hair and it looks good. 


keep your hair.

Dry hair
I have really dry hair both because of my middle age and putting dye on it at home.  I've tried most otc products but nothing really seems to get it soft and healthy looking.  Anyone have any tried and true products, like a deep treatment type of conditioner that really works?
Oh, well, it's just hair, you know? sm
I agree with her...you gotta pick your battles. That said, my son's hair is longish, but not to his shoulders.
Hair......
It is definitely not good to wash hair every day.
Because you strip the hair of the essential oil and then the follicles produce again oil, the hair gets oily very fast and you have to wash it again.
This becomes a vicious cycle.
The more often you wash your hair, the faster it gets oily.
Try to use 'dry shampoo' in between, until your hair gets less oily.
Get a dog with hair, not fur- sm
Find out what breeds have hair, I know poodles are one, I think there are one or two others but not sure. He would not be allergic to a dog with hair though, if so then he is allergic to people too. There are standard size poodles (large) or miniature poodles.
I have used it in my hair, but not to eat.

my sister does hair
and one of her clients bought her a jogging suit that says "i run with scissors!" she thought that was too fun! of course, depends on the personality.
Coloring your hair.

How many here have colored or still color their hair?
Highlights, lowlights, gray coverage or all out Platinum blonde.
Maybe you are going for that fire engine red.....


I bought one of those kits the other day that has the base color and the extra highlighting kit too. I am going for the medium to dark brown (which is my natural color) with "Caramel Glaze" highlights. My hair naturally has alot of underlying red tones so I have to be careful what color I choose or I end up looking like Lucille Ball. (not that red is a bad thing) I just don't want to be the next "Carrot Top" LOL.


Anybody else out there about to do a color change? opinions?


hair color sm
Had beautiful brown hair with natural red highlights, talked into blond highlighting, now go every 3 mos for cut and color but prices are being ridiculously increased to over $110 for this service, $45 for the cut and $65 for partial - more for full highlight. I am scared to do this alone, as I don't want to look like a "skunk" and the highlighting makes me feel better, as I'm getting older. Another subject - as you get older, people treat you like you're taking up space on the planet - rude. I don't intend to go gray. Is keeping the brown and putting in my onw highlights a fairy tale, is it that difficult? Can't imagine how I'll see in the mirror to do it alone!!! Can't afford it anymore. I think the stylist is planning to raise her prices and it will be over $150 for the whole head!
hair color
I found some really cool hair color at www.bettybeauty.com
Anyone ever had a hair transplant
due to loss of hair and if so, can you tell me how it came out, were you satisfied with the results, how much cost and which place did you use? I have seen some ads and am thinking seriously about this. Thanks.
hair style
My hairstyle is very low maintenance, a layered cut barely past my shoulders, which I shape with a hairbrush and blowdryer.  It takes less than 5 minutes, but I have a lot of natural curl.  What is your hair type?  That makes a big difference.
thinning hair
I do not have a thyroid condition but my hair was always very thin and falls out in handfuls except when I was pregnant.  My sister is a doctor and she found an article that advocated taking biotin (2000 mcg) and MSM (1000 mg) a day - ask your doctor, but biotin is just a B vitamin and MSM is used for joint health - and after a month or so I noticed a huge improvement in hair loss.  We both have noticed it.  I have also seen biotin used for stronger nails and I have to admit mine are growing quite well.
P.S. To Hair message . . .
Sorry, didn't know talking about animals would be so upsetting to you.
Arm hair trouble

It seems like over the last several years the hair on my forearms has gotten darker and darker. I'm so self-conscious about it, I feel like it makes me nice and mannish looking :(


Here's my question: would it help to put hydrogen peroxide on my arm hair everyday? Bleaching is such a hassle for a large area like that, and I don't have the money now for laser removal. I think hydrogen peroxide lightens hair, but would it make a noticeable difference on my arms?


I am always losing my hair.
All year round. A lot comes out in the shower and when drying my hair. My bathroom floor is covered. I have very thick hair. I never thought to ask my doctor about it. May be I should. I do not see any bald spots yet, but I will continue to watch. I just turned 50. I hope it does not get worse.
hair loss
My hair started falling out years ago, just inherited. I tried extensions, forget that.. There are a couple of products out there hair so real, but then I got Toppix; it's a natural hair fiber/powder that you apply to DRY scalp where the scalp is showing through; it's expensive, so I only use it when I go out to meet people I know.
Do you part your hair?? (sm)
I don't part mine or my kids - I brush it and it has sort of a natural part, but I never do the old comb-parting thing. Just wondering if I am the odd one out? Hey - it says GAB board :-)
My hair is very short right now.
Short layers and all I have to do is spray a little hairspray on it and run my fingers through it and I'm good to go.  It has gotten much thicker over the years and hair color has helped with that too.  I hate that I have to color my hair, though.  I started going gray almost 20 years ago and I just turned 40.    At some point, I will bite the bullet and let the color grow out, but haven't gotten there yet.  Not ready to be totally gray.
My hair is short
When it starts to get even a little long, I have to go out and get it cut. I don't like the way my hair or the way I look when it gets too long. I just put some gel in it and go. The only thing I don't like is that it can get dry in the sun. I've been dying my hair for about five years or so (46 now). I won't let it go gray, but that's just me. My daughter is only 4 so I feel I would look like her grandmother if I let it go gray.
LOL. I have that kind of hair too!!
Mine is longer layers and I have a LOT of it and it gets coarse sometimes after highlighting. So you should see me when I wake up in the morning sometimes. It is sticking up and out a good few inches on the top and sides! I joke with my husband, don't come too close or I may poke your eye out! LOL So I know exactly what you mean about not being able to just run out for something some days. Or God forbid, what about unexpected company or UPS or FedEx? LOL
Anyone else out there with curly hair?
My daughter is 3.  She has waist-long curly hair.  It is so beautiful but I am beginning to despise it!!!  It is so tangly.  I use Johnsons & Johnsons detangler from Wal-Mart, but that just doesn't seem to help.  I wash her hair with a shampoo/condition in 1 and then I do another round of just conditioner.  I can't figure out how to make this better.  The hair combing experience every day is painful for both of us!!  If you have any suggestions, short of cutting off those beautiful locks, I would sure appreciate your advice!
Curly hair
I have curly hair and so does my son so I know what you mean about it being a painful experience for both of you. I've found that sometimes it helps if you leave the conditioner in for a while before rinsing and always use a wide-tooth comb. Some leave-in conditioners help. When my hair was really long I always braided it before bed so it was easier to deal with the next morning.
Wind in HIs Hair
Rodney A. Grant from Dances with Wolves.  Hubba Hubba. 
Since we are talking hair, I always wonder
wondered what kind of hair Mane and Tail is good for.  Is it for smoothing hair that is coarse, or just what does it do? 
Have dry, brittle hair

Only wash about once a week and dry, brittle, fly-away, breaking. Anyone use anything that really helps this situation? Thanks!


hair cost sm
I was told years ago that the markup is ridiculous by someone who took a beautician course.. I found a good girl, shopped around, could not believe what WALMART (just stopped by to qestion in person) is charging for simple highlights and cut, even the local Regis Salons which also includes Supercuts, etc., are getting a hundred bucks or more. So what I did was establish an agreement with a girl who rents space nearby and she is excellent. She has been charging me $65 for color, cut and blow dry and style. So today I gave her a very generous Christmas tip and she tried to give it back to me. I told her I so appreciated what she does for me all year and she started to cry and gave me a hug. I told her I was aware of what others charged and I knew she gave me a break all year. Everyone won, nobody lost. Shop around, the markup is ridiculous. Corporate wins, not the stylist (much like our profession). Just find someone you can trust and develop a relationship with and give them a little extra once in awhile. I am very glad I did this,I had a great day and I feel wonderful and so does my stylist. It can be done, be an educated consumer. Don't fall for the high prices, what costs them a few bucks turns into literally hundreds when it comes to highlight or color and cut! Shop around.
You didn't know before the hair job how much it was

cost of hair
In defense of the cosmetology profession, I have to add that one never knows how much money and time the big stylists put into their business. My oldest son spends $10,000.00 a month in overhead, salaries, rent, seminars, etc. He stays current on everything, is a certified colorist, etc. They earn every penny they get - I had no idea until he filled me in. By the way, he lives too far away to make it worth my while to go get a haircut every 5 weeks, so I still go to local girl. $12.00 - she is way too cheap. Please don't bash them if you do not know the inside of the business. Anyway, Merry Christmas! Everyone tip your stylist - if it is a man, bake him something - he'll love you forever!!
hair dressing
Check your closest beauty supply store. I think you may be looking for what is called a "hair dressing." They smell good, come in light to heavy. I use one on my "babies" who have extremely curly hair. They are biracial, but do not have the coarse black African hair. Their hair is just extremely curly and the hair dressing adds shine and moisture, not oil, to their hair.
