Head Lice - It's True

[OldDude]

Tuesday morning I was brought a bug in a zip-lock bag. The bug had been just removed from a head. It was a, robust, adult head louse - judging by it's size. It appeared to be very agitated as it was quite active. OK, so I decided to perform a scientific experiment; school nurse myth buster if you will. After poking several pin-holes in the bag I push-pinned it to my bulletin board. Yesterday, when I left, the louse was alive and well and was still displaying agitation, flailing its louse arms wildy in the bag; I thought I noticed some obscene gestures. This morning I must report the louse has perished and, thus, my school nurse myth buster scientific experiment has proven a head louse will die within 48 hours if off of a human head. You have my express permission to share this scientific data with any hysterical parent or staff member.

This is the very first time I've ever heard of either vajazzling or bedazzlers!

Oooh, ouch; superglued 92 year old cooter-jewelry. Horrifying image,and absolutely hysterical not to mention kinda sad.

You should watch Christina Aguilera music video " Come on Over Baby"

And it only gets better: Her date said her new smile "looked more like a frown."

This is the best laugh I've had in a long long time. Thank you!!

That's vajazzling.

And I'm certain that Jen Elizabeth has addressed this in her Sex Ed class.

Well...

It isn't cheap to va-dazzel.

That's ok - pubic lice are not the same as the ones we see as school nurses.

True that, but could not stop thinking about them while reading this thread. Nature of my job!

The topic actually came up because as I was walking into my sex ed class yesterday, a few students were talking about head lice, which I also set them straight about (lice do not jump, kids!). So when we got to crabs in the STI lesson...

Happy Friday :)

This is very educational for me.

OldDude: "public- pubic- same thing."

Are you indicating waxing is for any other reason?

Yeah . . . but think it makes a woman look prepubescent, not "eye candy-ish" however that's another story.

Spidey's Mom is dying right now.

Nope - remember, I'm the mom who brought a poster home from Public Health with close-up views of STD's (STI's) so my 3 teenager kids could see some real consequences of making the wrong choices.

I'm very blunt with my children. Can't scare me!!

Well, since you used "that" description I had to go rinse my mouth out with soap; antibacterial, foaming, kills 99.99% of germs. I was thinking...never mind what I was thinking. I'm going to borrow Far's bag
