How long does it take for head lice eggs (nits) to show up in a childs hair?

My neice just started pre-school and ended up getting head lice. My brother and the mother are not together and do not have a good relationship. Therefore, she is blaming my neices head lice on my brothers new gf's kids. Those kids were checked in school and are clear of head lice. There was a paper signed stating they didnt, and dont have head lice. At this point, the lice were gone. My neice was over for the weekend and evidently was checked in school again just today (monday) and evidently they found a few eggs. The school claims that she "had to have gotten them this weekend" and of course the mother is blaming my brother again. So my quesiton is how long does it take for eggs to show up? And is it possible that the eggs could be left over from before?

Lice, those nasty little buggers. Your niece could have had a left over nit or louse that was missed when she was checked last week. She could have come into contact with another child while playing over the week-end or she may have gotten them from your brothers new gf children. Or, the brothers new gf children may have gotten them from her! Your niece may have had them for a couple of weeks and a couple of nits were missed in the last checking. Was your niece's mum going through her head every night with a lice comb after treating her? Needs to be done, seven days....



Tis the lice season. I know, I'm the lice queen in the neighbourhood. First mum to find a louse phones me to check their kids and family and treat. I do everyone around here.



BIG SECRET???



USE TEA TREE OIL IN YOUR SHAMPOO!!!!

How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Who do they do it? Because the chase is over? They caught their man now they can throw in the towel and get fat and squirt out some kids so as to make sure they don't have to work? I hate to stereotype, but I've seen this happen countless times with wives of friends and co-workers. Please enlighten me, ladies. And be honest.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

You are correct sir!! However women will not admit it. It's very hard to admit the truth. And one thing you forgot, they forget what sex is after getting "the baby prize"



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Most married guys I know when from wash board abs to looking like they are pregnant. Also, from what their wives tell me it isn't "the baby prize" that turns them off but the fact that with all the fat rolling off of the guys stomach they don't have the patience to look for the equipment. Report It



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

GET OVER YOURSELVES AND STOP GENERALIZING, MEN LOSE THEIR INITIAL LOOKS TOO BUT MOST PEOPLE IN A SERIOUS COMMITMENT LIKE THAT CAN GET PAST THAT. Report It



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

I think drummerboy is a female caught in a women's body. Oooooh, wait, you would have to have a p e n i s and lack boobs to do that. Report It



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

It happens after they have a kid.



A good dad would never leave a kid.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Boy, you don't stereotype people, do you? How many women have you seen do this?



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Yes. You figured out our secret. Write a book and make a million dollars, genius.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

um. Im married, and my hair is still long and im still skinny. Thanks!



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

i've never seen women do this...



Your very stereotypical.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Well taking care of a kid is VERY hard and they hardly have time to work out let alone SLEEP!!!



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

It's because they become comfortable with who they are and don't feel like they have to put on a show. It's not every woman either. Everyone goes through changes and most women want to keep things changing so their men don't get bored;



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Not all women are like this. But most are. How do I know? My wife did it too.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

The same reason men gain weight, belch and fart after the wedding!



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

because the bitches now they now own 50% of your stuff, any court in america will presume the little lady is a victim when you end up in court, so once she has you by the nuts she can rever to her natural state of being, which is a lazy pig that sits on the couch and watches oprah all day.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Quick call the AMA and alert them of this terrible disease maybe they casn stop everyone from making this terrible mistake. Oh my i never knew that was the cause of short hair and weight gain. I thought that happened cause you have kids. you gain weight and the hair gets cut cause you dont havetime to deal with it any more. You are a genius I will have to tell my friends about this new problem with getting maried maybe we will all just stay just the way we are - single to avoid this distressful symptoms.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

Maybe it's part of the trend that married couples tend to look more alike as time goes by, so women have to conform to look like their shorn fatty husbands.



That, or else maybe malicious elves.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

I agree it happens, but I also see that many men gain weight as well. I think it is true that it is due in part to the "comfort" factor and knowing that you now have a man. But I also think it is because women cook more and make big meals for their husbands. Of course, if both would agree to turn off the tv and take up a physical activity together, much of the weight gain could be prevented. As you age, metabolism slows and it becomes More and more challenging to maintain a healthy weight. Exercise is key : )



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

To be a wife and a mother is a hard job .When you want to do a hard work what you do ?You just get ready .... and do the job !!!



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

There are several reasons for this type of behavior.



1. They do feel the chase is over and feel that there is no reason to work so hard to look nice anymore. *This is a VERY small percentage of women! Most fall into category 2....



2. After getting married, men also stop trying hard to impress their woman and tend to stop acting sweet %26amp; nice %26amp; kind %26amp; gentle and all the things they were before marrying. Then on top of that stark realization (that the honeymoon is OVER), many women tend to feel VERY unattractive after having a baby and need more love, attention and positive reinforcement from their man. Men don't understand why they should feel any different and so they don't change their behavior at all. So instead of losing the fat gained naturally during pregnancy, the women shut down emotionally and just don't give a damn anymore, except to take care of their baby.



This is NOT to say that men are at fault for this phenomenon.



But the blame can be shared.



Men are naturally not quite as "in tune" with others' needs as women are and therefore do not clue into the fact that they need to continue to be just as loving and as wonderful as they were when the "chase was still on". This is important and is a necessity in keeping a marriage alive, happy, open and loving.



Women unfortunaetly are driven a lot by hormones and emotional matters. If they feel that their man has stopped caring as much as he did before, it takes a toll on a woman's heart and soul. And when they are at their morst vulnerable and weakest (i.e. during pregnancy and after childbirth), they need more love and understanding than ever before. But she also needs to be understanding of her own body, sanity and strength. And she needs to ASK for what she needs from her partner instead of just assuming that he should know what she needs. Communication is again another very important key to a successful relationship.



So there you have it - it's a two way street, as all conflicts are.



How come so many women immediately cut their hair and then gain weight after getting married?

After you been with some one for so long looks aren't recognized as much. I remember when my guy always told me i was pretty or sexy, after a while they just get use to it. its no longer new. Also when you start living together it can be uncomfortable doing grooming things infront of guys or the exact oppiste you become comfortable and that magic is gone. Men can let themselve go too, and if he isn't bothering to look good for me why should i for him? Also when the compliments stop coming, the little gifts and dates aren't happening you don't give us a reason to dress up and look good. Those were the reason we did that.



And the kids thing; men can want kids as much as women and some don't want their wives to work. They feel they should stay at home and care for the kids. Some men still have that mind set. And its kind of pig headed to say they have kids so they don't have to work. Raising a kid is alot of work. Something you don't have expience with since you don't even recognize raising another human being from scratch as 'work". Also women feel guilty going back to work (you have no idea how much redicule a mom can go through for not being at home with the kids, or how guilty she feels when she misses their first steps and words becuase of work). Short hair usually happens becuase of the kids. You never have time for yourself, so you don't have the time to style your hair and the kids end up throwing something in it and pulling on it so its just easier to make it short. What wrong with short hair anyways? There's plenty of women who aren't married with children thathave short hair. And in case you didn't know when a woman becomes pregnant she gains wieght and its not always easy to get off especially when you can't go to the gym 5 days a week anymore.

UT!?Jason, the director cried.



15 year old Lily Evans and her two co-stars, Lila Trace and Dan Borski, sighed.



When Lily had got the main role in the new movie, Lookout, seven months ago, she would have never have dreamed it would be this hard. If she did no more than blink at the wrong time, this was no doubt that Jason would notice and make them start over.



uys,?Jason said in a disappointed tone, hen people buy tickets to see my movie, they are expecting it seem real, not like a bunch of kids acting it out poorly. Start from the top, and please make it good this time.



Lily, Dan and Lila exchanged a three-way eye roll before starting the scene over?again.



aaaaaand ACTION!?



arie, I sorry.?Dan acted. ust listen to me-?br>



o!?Lily screamed, forcing tears down her cheeks. ou have no idea how much you hurt me! Just- Just leave me alone.?br>



She waited for the end of Lila line, for that was her cue to walk off set, but it never came.



ike,?she started, pretending to tell off Dan ou are such a-?



Lila broke into a fit of giggles.



sorry, I sorry,?she apologized to Jason, trying not to laugh, t just-?br>



Making it even worse, Lily and Dan started cracking up because of Lila sudden burst of giggles and the raged look on Jason face.



NOUGH!?Jason screamed over the laughter, veryone take 5.?br>



Jason looked at the three stars still laughing uncontrollably and rephrased his statement.



ake that 10.?He sighed cradling his head in his hands.



Wiping there eyes, Lily, Dan, and Lila walk over to the food cart.



hat was so funny.?Lily giggled, grabbing a handful of skittles. id you see Jason face??br>



know,?Lila laughed back. e has absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever.?



ut that why it so fun to get him mad,?Dan agreed, taking a swig of Dr. Pepper, emember that time when we put a whoopee cushion on his director chair??



Lily laughed at the memory.



eah, he was so mad, his face was priceless.?Lila smiled, ood thing he never realized it was us.?br>



ust think about what he do if he did find out,?Lily Pondered.



The three shuddered at the thought.



ey,?Dan said to Lily and Lila, ets go somewhere after work.?br>



eah likehili or something??Lila suggested.



f we survived,?Lily rolled her eyes, as Jason yelled for them to get on set.



Dan smiled.



She looked into his baby blue eyes. Every time Lily did she found a scene of two people together. The girl had curly red and bright green eyes as Lily did. Like Dan, the tall boy had jet black hair and blue eyes. This time, the girl was being given a piggyback by the boy, in a calm and serene field of flowers. The girl was laughing as she was put down by the boy. She seemed so carefree, happy and safe as the boy put his hands with hers. He tucked her hair behind her ear. There lips meet. Lily smiled.



h, Lily??Dan laughed as he waved his hands in front of her face, re you there??br>



She was suddenly thrown out of the field of flowers and into the studio.



h sorry, just thinking,?Lily face grew hot as she twisted her ____ ring as an excuse not to look up. How long had she been standing there with that blank, goofy grin on her face? That was what the problem about staring at Dan eyes. They filled her with a warm feeling as she did, but after, she ended up feeling like an idiot. But they were so tempting to look at?



rong. You where doing something, but you defiantly weren thinking.?he said imitating her face, putting on a dumb grin, and Lila laughed.



She winced. Had she really looked that stupid?



hut up.?Lily said half annoyed-half amused. Dan had a way with words. As a result, things that he did or said wouldn have been as funny if someone else had.



nyway,?he said changing subjects, uys, meet me at my car at around 6. Don worry youl have plenty of time to do you hair, Lila,?he added.



Lily laughed, because everyone who knew Lila, knew she took forever to do her hair. For Lily, it took about 5 minutes and Lila didn know how she did it.



ut I don understand how it looks so good! You don do anything with it!?she always said after they got out of the dressing room after work.



ell anyway,?Dan said, et get going, before Jason kills us.?br>



ne sec,?Lila said, ou go. I need to ask Lily something.?br>



Once Dan was out of sight, Lila said in a sing-song voice, ooks like someone has a crush on Dan Borski!?



do not!?Lily lied, hoping she sound convincing, e just a friend. You know that.?br>



kaaaayy?Lila said once again in her sing-song voice, obviously not believing her.



They walked over to the set, and Lily couldn help but to think of her conversation with Lila.



ooks like someone has a crush on Dan Borski!?



do not!?



But that wasn the truth. Not even close.



Dan and Lily stood by Dan car at exactly 6:00, waiting for Lila.



ell, this is strange, Lila late!?Lily said sarcastically checking her watch, his isn like her at all.?



This was a joke of course; Lila was always late, for everything.



Dan laughed. eah probably working on her hair, as I predicted.?br>



The conversation became awkward after that. Lily, who usually had a lot to say, kept quiet.



hat if I say something, and he thinks I weird??Lily thought frightfully to herself.



Half of Lily knew that that would never happen. Dan just wasn that kind of person. But her other half told her to be cautious. That part overpowered the other.



h look, there Lila.?Said Lily, relieved.



orry I late guys,?said Lila running over, was just-?



ixing your hair??Lily finished, innocently.



Dan laughed.



a. Ha. Youe funny,?Lila said opening the car door.



know,?Lily said getting in the front seat with Dan, hat can I say??



Lily Turned on the radio and Me Love By: Sean Kingston filled the car with sound.



h, my favorite song!?said Lila and Dan at the same time. Although, Lila sounded genuine and Dan words were dripping with sarcasm. Lily laughed.



Rolling down the window, Lily let the sun-kissed air hit her face and started singing.



h, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohhh, why you have to go-oo away from hoooome, Me love.?



Lila joined in the next verse swaying her hands in the air. All Dan did was roll his eyes.



ome on guys,?Dan begged, oue embarrassing me!?br>



ou? Embarrassed??Lila snorted, ure!?br>



Lily laughed too. He never got embarrassed. One time the two girls dared him to sit on the bench at the park where a couple was sitting. Not only did he do that, but he added a an you scoot over? I squished!?Out of all the traits of Dan she admired, she probably admired his othing can embarrass me!?attitude the most. This was probably because that skill was something she didn have. Whenever someone came over and gave her a compliment, she would blush ferociously.



ome on! Sing along!?Lily teased Dan, slapping him playfully.



h, no thanks,?Dan said punching her arm lightly. Lily felt a shock go up her arm and into her heart, when his skin touched hers.



When they got to Chili heads turned, people whispered. As much as Lily hated it, she just smiled at them politely, mostly to hide her annoyed face. This happened all the time, and Lily had learned how to ignore it. But really, she was just a person going to dinner with some friends. Not an exhibit at the zoo.



able for three??asked the waitress. They all smiled and nodded. Lily was glad she was treating them like normal people- instead of pleading for an autograph.



ere you go,?said the waitress pointing at the table, and the three sat down.



Even though Lily had never talked to the waitress in her life, she could tell she was a nice person. A person that didn care about what a person was on the outside, but on the inside.



o,?Lila started, urprisingly enough, I wasn late because I was working on my hair, I was on my cell. And youl never guess who called!?br>



ho??Lily and Dan said together.



ody Lanoka!?she squealed.



hmygod! Why??Lily squealed back.



Cody Lanoka, was one of the eart-throbs?listed in Teen-People magazine. He listed number 5, and boy, was he hot.



ell,?she said leaning towards Dan and Lily, e throwing a party on next Saturday and? He wants us to come! From what others have heard, it going to be the hottest party of the year.?br>



The two girls squealed.



hy didn you tell me this before??Lily giggled.



just need the right time to say it,?Lila answered, lus with that hair comment, I thought you deserved it.?



Lily laughed and the waitress handed them their food.



here is it??Dan asked.



h, I not sure yet, but he said you needed at date, or you can come.?Lila sighed, hat will stink if I can find one.?br>



Lily sighed too. She was sort of oy shy? She barely talked to guys, let alone ask one on a date! She looked over at Dan. Anyway, the one guy she would even think of asking would say no. He wasn interested in her.

Married men:............?

What would u think of a wife who:



-stood by you in public, even if you disagreed in private



-took you to office to show you to her colleagues, esp. male colleagues wth ideas kept a pic of u on her desk



-always held your hand when you went out shopping 2gether



-acted on your outfit preferences by dressing conservatively in public but in skimpy (but not slutty) clothes at home



-rested her head on your shoulder and just sat there quietly while u watched football



-greeted u with a hug whenever u came back from work



-took your head in her lap and stroked ur forehead/ruffled ur hair gently so that u fell asleep



-always came up behind you to give u a surprise hug



-worked part-time but still earned a lot so that she could care for the kids. and rushed to brush her hair and put on perfume before u got back at 6



-encouraged u to go out with friends but worried at the same time for your safety



-was sweet to your rents & truly cared 4 them



-always took care to cook ur fave dishes



Married men:............?

Sounds like you didn't do anything wrong. Maybe the problem was with him and not with you.



Married men:............?

You were probably just too available for him, like maybe he wanted something that he had to chase?? It sounds like you did all right so its his bad..not yours! You sound like a good person and you deserve better anyways..let him know that



Married men:............?

sounds like he is an idiot. Sometimes there is no rational that makes up for what he did. There is no excuse for cheating.



Married men:............?

Well. I'm going to get 200 thumbs down for this.... but.... did you gain 100 pounds after the marriage?



Married men:............?

You did nothing wrong. This man was likely not ready for the commitment. Don't punish yourself. Why would you want him back anyway?? Read your question....do you not recognize how unappreciated you were and how unworthy he was of such devotion. Move on a stronger woman. Don't let him ruin you.



Married men:............?

Why does it have to be something wrong with you? It sounds like he was a lying, cheating butt!



If anything you were too nice. Screw him, there is someone out there that will appreciate you for what you have to offer.



Married men:............?

Well...that kind of wife honestly does sound that a very passive wife. He took advantage of you because of the passive approach you gave him. Don't get me wrong..not all men would do that. I would certainly love a wife like that except maybe not have her pamper herself or the kids for my arrival. I personally don't believe she should do that. Some men are just plain idiotic.



Married men:............?

have more respect for youself.. dont go back to a man who cheated on you!! if you did all those things.. YOU are the one who deserves better... u should be doing all those things with someone who wants to make you feel wonderful BACK!!



Married men:............?

He's an idiot!



Married men:............?

I am sure you did nothing wrong. He just did not appreciate a good wife when he had one.



Married men:............?

Sounds like the perfect wife to me. A man who leaves a woman like that has issues that have nothing to do with what kind of wife she is. Sad to say, some guys just aren't satisfied with one woman. Others find the thrill of the hunt irresistible; once they catch her they lose interest. So stop thinking in terms of what you did wrong; his cheating and leaving had nothing to do with you. You were just the victim.



Married men:............?

You didn't do anything wrong...your every guys dream. The sad thing is...I couldn't come close to what you did for your man. LOL....I have some of this down...but not all of it. My husband still complains that I don't dress sexy enough for him. Oh Well....the sad thing is ...you got yourself a man who just liked to wander, you could be the next Mary Magdeline and it wouldn't matter to him. I am sorry about that too. As he gets older and the women get more boring, he will look back and wonder why he let you go. Find someone else who can appreciate you for you. You will do better and go far.



Married men:............?

SORRY BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR BETTER OF WITH OUT HIM......WHAT DID HE DO WHILE YOU WHERE DOING IT ALL????? REMEMBER WOMEN HAVE LIFES TO. ENJOY YOURSELF AND YOUR KIDS SOD HIM...... YOU'll FIND SOMEONE ELSE I DID.... GOOD LUCK GIRL XX



Married men:............?

You're a gem and he blew it. My guess is that he has no self control by taking a risk of losing the best thing that ever came into his life.



Married men:............?

Why do you think you did something wrong? It wasn't your fault he cheated. It wasn't something you did that pushed him to do what he did. It was his shortcoming, not your.



Other than spelling you as u and together as 2gether, you sound like an amazing person. If I had a wife that did the things you describe then I would love, honor, respect, and cherish her.



Who are you though? You did all these things for him. What did you do for you?



Married men:............?

I would never do anything to endanger such a relationship. Can I trade my wife for you?



Seriously, some people are just born jerk-offs. I assume you are in America, where everyone is learning to become as selfish as they can possibly be. Stay the way you are. You may get hurt but you will be so glad when you find that perfect someone.



Good luck.



Married men:............?

Sorry, but I think you spoiled this man way to much.



Forget him he is a #1 Jerk. If he ever crawls back to you slam the door. You worth sooooo much better.



Go on with your live and enjoy the wonderful woman you are.



Do not feel guilty at any minute. You are wonderful.



Married men:............?

He will be back when he comes to his senses----the best thing you can do is to make him jealous,start enjoying yourself As soon as he thinks you are happy he will want to come back



Married men:............?

Stop worrying about trying to get him back. If he left you for another woman- what was between you meant very little to him. Find someone new. I am just a woman but why waste your time wanting someone who has left you.



Married men:............?

Sounds like you adore him. Thats probably why. Some people are jerks, he probably figured he could do it and get away with it, because even if it didn't work out with the other one you'd still take him back. But don't judge yourself, sounds like you were fine. Hopefully you can find someone ELSE that is better, and will treat you the way you treat them.



Married men:............?

Don't beat yourself up over this. You sound like a great woman i recommend you moving on. There are better men out there that will appreciate everything you do. You deserve better!!



Married men:............?

simple. you were his doormat and he stopped finding you exciting and he found someone else who excited him.



you got married and thought you should be this "susie homemaker" when in reality you probably stopped being who YOU were at heart.



he probably realized that and met someone exciting to him and that's why he left you.



if you want him back, then maybe spice yourself up.



Married men:............?

you are perfect woman there are too many men who wish catch some one like you all their long life but dont find . he was not peractical that left you i think he was not deserve for your real clean kind and love . you give him too much advantage ........but i promis he will return and its you who must sat no this time ! there are too many good men for you



Married men:............?

This is a man that did not appreciate what he had, because I would love for a woman to do half of the stuff that you named. Some people do not know a good thing when they have it. I hope everything works for the best for you.

How do i get my hair like the gotti kids?

how do i get my hair to be like theres, i rly dont no how they spike it like the way they do all over

How do i get my hair like the gotti kids?

LOTS of GEL and HAIR SPRY



How do i get my hair like the gotti kids?

Time and practice. Lots of pomade and gel. First if your hair is not of same cut or texture it could be a little bit more difficult. Then try and get still pics of one or all of them. Then just start practicing in the mirror. What they show on TV. it takes alot of time to get the hair just so for them. good luck.



How do i get my hair like the gotti kids?

A good gel, use Hard Up by Sexy Hair, apply when wet then blow dry it the direction u want it with ur fingers or if too hard then use something like Manipulator, its like gel holds hair good but not so hard feeling, also good one Fudge, all of these are professional products, u can go to Sallys Beauty Supply and ask them to help u find something comparable to these



How do i get my hair like the gotti kids?

Ummm, why would you want it like that? It's your choice though,take a picture to the salon and get it cut like that and have them show you what products to use.



How do i get my hair like the gotti kids?

let it grow like 2 inches then go to the barber and get a blow out ...your hair will naturally go that way

Advice on ODD?

Are there any parents on here with kids that have ODD? If so, how do you deal with the frustrations? My son is on medication, but it doesnt seem to be working and I don't want him to be turned into a "zombie" with more meds? When he wants to be, he is the sweetest kid.......HELP!!! I'm pulling my hair out. (He's 7)



Advice on ODD?

sorry but what is ODD?



okay thanks. i have a son that is ADHD. if it is similar ask your doctor about a medicine called concerta. it worked really well with my son and it didnt make him a Zombie. no drowsiness. its really good.



good luck



Advice on ODD?

ODD is "oppositional defiance disorder". Its a diagnosis alot of kids are getting today. I think its very much like ADD. Its probably real, but its overdiagnosed. I don't have a child with it, but I know a couple of families who are saying they have children who do.



Its hard for me to offer you good advice. I just know twenty-thirty years ago that this diagnosis was not given. Instead we called these children "naughty" or "badly behaved".



I'd examine lifestyle and diet issues carefully. Do both parents work? How much one-on-one time is this child getting with you and his father?



Finally, take a look at discipline practices in your home. Are you consistent? Do you set rules and stand by them? What discipline techniques have you used? Do you ground, take away privileges, or spank?



When I was seven if I got out of line, mom pulled down my pants and gave me a spanking with a ruler in my jockey shorts. It was a rough, but effective way to deal with a misbehaving kid. I'm not saying this works for a kid with a real problem, but if you haven't tried it, you might, before medicating him.

Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

I was around my nephew recently and later learned he had lice. My head always itches so I did not think anything of it until I found a tiny bug under my fingernail I could not tell what it was I checked both of my kids and did not see anything My husband checked my head and did not see anything. Is it possible for 1 lice to be in your hair? Should I shampoo myself and kids?



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

Its possible,,,but I probably wouldn't do anything until you start feeling itchy and start scratching your head..My kids used to get it and I would think they all had it and take precautions but that stuff isn't cheap so I waited and used it when I KNEW they had lice...ALSO wash sheets and towels IN HOT water or they DO come back,,,GOOD LUCK!!!



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

doesn't everything starts with one? haha, anyway, just to be sure, you can shampoo your hair.



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

i'm not sure about the 1 lice thing. but i would shampoo everyone and spray everything to be on the safe side.



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

Yes it is possible to only have one. DO shampoo, because the one you found may have deposited eggs, which have a one week gestation. Head checks everyday, and re-treat with shampoo in one week. Stay away from the spray. It is not that effectivce and very toxic to humans. DRY all bed linens and hats first, then wash them as usual. The heat will kill any eggs or immature nymphs. Best of luck. Peace.



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

Lice multiply very rapidly so one would not be very likely. You will be more likely to see the "nits" or the eggs on the hair shaft. They are a tiny pearl like thing usually closer to the head. It is stuck there with a glue and cannot be removed easily. Look closely for the nits that is your best indicator. Lice shampoos are a chemical substance so unless you really need to avoid them. Some folks like to rinse their hair in vinegar if they think they have been exposed so you might try that.



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

i dont think its possible to have one single lice.



but i would do that shampoo justtttt in case



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

Do the shampoo. My son had one this summer I left it untreated and we battled lice for over a month. Make sure you wash clothes,towels,%26amp; sheets in hot water with bleach. I found what helps some is take regular mayo and coat your hair in it wrap it in saren wrap and let stand on hair for about an 1 1/2 and it smothers the lice on your hair. Make sure you use that comb that comes with the lice kits to get all the dead ones out of your hair. I hope this helps you. I washed his hair in tea tree shampoo for about 2 months and it helped keep them out also.



Is it possible to have head lice and only have one?

Do NOT shampoo with pesticides 'just in case.' People here really need to research their answers before they go around giving people 'advice.' The lice preparations you buy from a chemist are pesticides and every pesticide has the potential to do serious harm, even if used 100% as directed.



It is possible you picked up one bug but unless it was a pregnant female or there are a pair they won't be able to reproduce. If there are no eggs present in your hair there is no need to start a full scale assault. I would simply cover your hair in a thick conditioner, cover your hair with a shower cap and leave it overnight. This will suffocate any live lice. If eggs are present get yourself some hair straighteners (flat iron) and zap them with that.



Please don't treat your whole family unnecessarily with pesticides.



Feel free to read any of the articles at the following website for more information.



Good Luck.

Should I...? easy 2 points!?

I am getting my hair cut tommorrow. Right now my hair is shoulder length with layers that blend in with my hair and it looks like one length, and it is dark brown. I have an oval shaped face. My hair is thick but i dont mind straightening it.



I want something funky and with choppy layers. But i dont want anything too extreme like some scene kids with the mullets. I dont want a mullet either.



I also like to wear my hair in a ponytail often, but dont mind some face framing peices in the front.



I like the pic below, are those layers kinda scene like?



1. http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?medi...



And I want the angled side bangs like below and they are really nice and full too.



http://photobucket.com/mediadetail/?medi...



Should I...? easy 2 points!?

Yes! I think that's really cute! I have the same hair cut and face shape as you, and I'm getting a haircut and I've been looking for pictures. Would I be able to use the first pic to show my hairstylist the type of layers I want? I don't really want bangs, but just layers. If I could show her, that would be great! I also like the second pic, but I don't really want bangs on my hair. However, if you like them, I think they would look awesome with the layers in the first pic. Good choice! So they would look great! I hope I helped and good luck! I'm sure you will look amazing!



Great question!



I gave you a star! :) ?br> xoxo



Anne



Should I...? easy 2 points!?

I like the angled side bangs with soft layers for the front and just regular long hair in the back. My hair used to look like that and I liked it.



Should I...? easy 2 points!?

I really like the first pic with the layers. print it out and show it to the stylist and tell her thats what you want. do the first haircut first and then if you like it add the angled bangs, all at once might be a little too much (at least for me)



Should I...? easy 2 points!?

I like the hair in the 2nd pic better!!



Should I...? easy 2 points!?

Go for the second one.



Should I...? easy 2 points!?

Sure, go for it



Should I...? easy 2 points!?

I like the first pic alot.



i think you should do it!

Ok well, theres this girl that has PERFECT hair everyday! and its like a different style....how to?

This girl at my school has perfect hair EVERYDAY!! im not kidding! we are in 8th grade, and she even makes a pony tail look good. And she isnt that pretty, she has really thick hair and its long, and blonde, is that the reason? lol idk



But i was wondering how i could get my hair to stay perfect everyday? because her hair stays perfect all day! i see her in the morning and in the afternoon. I cant ask her because shes one of those popular people, but she would think im trying to be like her...... its happend before, ppl these days are stupid ugh



But anyway, what should i do? i have thick hair that is brown, and a little past my shoulders, what hairstyles can i do that are really nice, and waht products could i use to keep it that way all day??



Ok well, theres this girl that has PERFECT hair everyday! and its like a different style....how to?

well make up ur own styles and maybe she'll be asking u about ur hair...



use gel or dove hairspray. maybe pull ur bangs out nd pin them where ur middle part would be...



Ok well, theres this girl that has PERFECT hair everyday! and its like a different style....how to?

lol, ok get this, i'm in 8th grade and some of the girls in my grade sound EXACTLY like ur problem girl!!! :P



well, my hair is red/brown, thick and wavy. (our hair sounds similar too!! soo wierd XD) im sorta lazy (and considered a nerd, even tho i have popular friends...w/e) so i usually just put my hair in either a braid, bun or ponytail (out of my face in other words).



however, sometimes I flat iron or blow out my hair so it's reeeeally straight and then i let my side bangs out and wear it down, occasionally with a headband.



some of the girls @ my skool flat iron their hair every morning our do it every couple of days and dont wash it for a few days. if you have the time and patcience, try buying a GOOD flat iron (bad ones can ruin your hair and burn your ears/scalp) and straightening it every morning/every couple of days. when straightened, wear it down or down with a headband or a pretty clip.



another suggestion, straighten yur hair and then use a curling iron to make a few curls in the top layer of your hair (this process takes longer but looks very cute when done) :)



if you dont have as much time, sometimes a simple one braid down ur back or a ballet bun can look very pretty as well.



hairspray will keep your hair from coming out of a bun, Garnier Fructis make a very nice one that smells good, but idk what it's called, sry :(



i hope that helps!!!



p.s.



do u need good places to get clothes?



here are a couple stores I love that should be found most anywhere in the US:



abercrombie (aka A&F)



Hollister



Nordstroms/Nordstroms B.P.



American Eagle



Puma - shoes



Here are some that aren't so common:



Paul Frank



Caruso Caruso



Cinderella's Castle



Guys&Gals

Do guys like long hair or short hair?

Or no hair? (Just kidding) Mine is in between and Im thinking of cutting it short. What do you think?



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

it really depends on how you look from with it to without it...hehe



kidding...but if you sere to cut it, have your hairdressers opinion, or if you're cutting it to attract someone in particular...go ahead and ask him.



he'll appreciate it later on and you'll see his reaction when you show him whats been done.



Good Luck and Enjoy!



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

long



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

nice and shaved. other wise it gets in the way.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

most guys like long hair. they like pulling on it - if u know what i mean.

Where?

Do guys like long hair or short hair?

long hair, short hair is to manly



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

long hair. its an ecstatic feeling to play with them



get g(r)oing!



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

Some guys like the short hair/professional look. Some guys love the flowing wild like the wind look...



But for me personally, I love my hair long. =) I honestly feel more attractive that way.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

There is really no general answer to this, it depends on the guy, and the girl. Some girls look great with short hair or no hair (such as Natalie Portman), or some look great with long hair. Some guys have preferances, some don't.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

Long and shiny, Yer makes my whiskers tingle



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

i love short hair



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

long by far



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

Long Hair,always



Look at Angelina Jolie



Long hair a must!



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

I like long hair.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

Long, don't cut it. That's my opinion.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

you know boys they don't care as long as you have a ***



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

It depends if your hair will look good short. Also your face shape has to do with it too. If you have a rounder head shorter the better. A more squarish head, longer is better to cover big jaw. SO overall it depends. good luck on you hair cutting!!



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

You should have the hair you like. Consider your face shape, etc... I am a hairdresser, and speaking from experience, my husband likes it long! (Even though it looks good short, too.) Plus, keep it mind that it's just hair and it will grow back!



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

cutting it short would make u look neat and cute so i think you should cut it short.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

I think guys like long hair so they can play with it.Guys also like long hair so they can braid it. alot of guys i know love to braid girls hair The guys i know say yah handlebars lol



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

Love long hair, but your face has to be able to carry it. Not everyone can have longhair so in those cases, short hair is great.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

It just depends on the guy. Just like lots of girls like guys with short hair, and others like long.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

I guess it all depends on the guy!



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

Hi rach...as a girl, my experience has been that guys prefer long hair. The consensus is that a couple of inches above shoulder length is the shortest a girl should go to still have sex appeal.



Personally, I believe a girl can look sexy w/a short -do (look at Halle Berry before she grew out her hair/got extensions), but I think a girl has to have good bone structure and what not to pull off a short -do. A wide face and a short -do doesn't exactly match.



Do guys like long hair or short hair?

As a girl with recently cut hair, I am a bit biased. I think short cuts are cute, but only if they're done right and look feminine. (My bf thinks my new 'do is DAMN SEXY!)



"Try on" hairstyles at the Virtual Hairstylist at iVillage.com (link below) before you chop off your locks; that's what I did before I made my decision.

There is an early 80s cartoon halloween special with 2 kids named Small and Tender. Does anyone know

The animation in this cartoon is unlike any other I've ever seen. Every person is one solid color and very "cartoony" looking. The story is about a witch that turns her 3 little friends, Small, Tender and Kazooie(?) into what they want to be for Halloween. They go to a party, scare the local town folk and cause a stampeed in which the witch loses her magic wand and can't change the children back. A woman named Malicious finds the wand in her hair and starts using it.



There is an early 80s cartoon halloween special with 2 kids named Small and Tender. Does anyone know the name?

Yeah, that was "Witches' Night Out" with Gilda Radner.



There is an early 80s cartoon halloween special with 2 kids named Small and Tender. Does anyone know the name?

I love that movie!



Not to date myself too much, but I think it came out in the late 70's...



Either way, it's called "Witch's Night Out"



Enjoy!

What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..

it's really bothering me!!!!! I guess they are evil kids who kills people..ohh and their eyes turn red when they are going to kill someone. please help!!



What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..ehh yeah?

There are two.



The first one came out on 7 December 1960 and was directed by Wolf Rilla (go to the following link for info: http://www.scifimoviepage.com/villageof....



The second one came out on 28 April 1995 and was directed by John Carpenter (go to the following link for info: http://www.theofficialjohncarpenter.com/...



What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..ehh yeah?

village of the damned (1960)



What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..ehh yeah?

village of the damned from the 60's and there was a remake in the early 90's



What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..ehh yeah?

Village of the Damned. There eyes turned orange if I remember correctly. There were 2 movies of it one in 1995 the other in 1960



What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..ehh yeah?

Village if the Damned



What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..ehh yeah?

Village of the Damned, a British Hammer movie of the sixties, remade about 10 years ago.



I think there was also a sequel, Children of the Damned.



What's the movie called..The evil children with white hair that were all born on the same day..ehh yeah?

In Africa you get ethnic people who are pure white including the hair. They were as far as I am to believe Damned as they were done away with at birth in years before colonialisation

Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

I would think that by now, she would have really really damaged hair OR her hair would have fallen out, because she always dyes her roots for the past 15 years at least. I saw pictures of her as a kid and she has naturally dark brown hair....how does she do it?



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

Being a millionaire helps.



When you have that kind of money, you can afford to have your hair well taken care of, including never having your roots show. Also, there are some really, really expensive processes which the guy who does my hair told me about, and he said you can be bleached like that and not have your hair fall out all the time.



Think about Marilyn Monroe. She was a natural brunette, too, but after she became a bombshell she was always a platinum blonde, and you never saw roots on her, either.



The last thing to keep in mind is that the really good, close photos of Gwen Stefani are usually taken on her own terms. By that I mean it's either a photo shoot, where she has a chance to prepare for how she wants to look, or it's some special function, where she again has the opportunity to plan her look. There are candids taken of her from time to time, but they aren't as common as with other stars. When she was pregnant, I didn't see very many candid photos of her--I bet if there's been a time when her roots showed since she became famous, it was sometime during that period.



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

Celebrity treatment and Dr. 90210 by her side.



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

She makes enough money to have a professional hair dresser in her house making sure no black shows!



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

She must have someone touch them up almost daily. I can't believe her hair hasn't all broken off or fallen out, either!



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

she probably has a good stylist who can color her hair and not damage it, as well as money to go to the stylist every few weeks or so.



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

the money probably helps



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

its a wig!



Why does Gwen Stefani NEVER have roots?

Its the $$$$$$$$$$

What's the deal?

Why do British kids laugh at and tease ginger hair but Americans like it and think it's cool? What's so funny about ginger hair? I have it. Isn't it like any other hair color?



What's the deal?

I like red hair. I don't get it.



What's the deal?

doesnt rupert grint have red hair?????? i think it looks really good on guys and girls



What's the deal?

If they teasing, they're immature and that's all... Just don't mind them! If you ask me, i think red hair is very beautiful and if i'd have it i'd be the happiest person in the world... :P



What's the deal?

There's nothin funny about ginger hair. I think ginger hair's kl. The kids who laugh r stupid & immature!

Where can i find outlines for caricatures for Kids 2 trace the head bodies eyes etc. I had these whe

When i was in daycare, we used to have these templates that we traced on tracing paper. You could choose the head shape, hair, eyes, nose, lips, and the bodies that were posed in clothes.



Where can i find outlines for caricatures for Kids 2 trace the head bodies eyes etc. I had these when i was 5.

I know this is not the answer you are looking for, but as an art teacher, I cringe when I see tracing books or coloring books.



I'd much rather see a child given blank paper and crayons/markers/glue/etc. so they have the freedom to create their OWN artwork, not work from exsisting art...

Where are some good places I can get a nice emo haircut?

Are there any national chains? What about places near baltimore? Do regular salons do emo and bright colors? I WANT TO KNOW HOW THOSE COOL KIDS GET THEIR HAIR LIKE THAT!



Where are some good places I can get a nice emo haircut?

normal salons do that stuff, but they wouldn't know what emo is.



just find a picture you like on photobucket or something, print it out, and tell them "i want my hair like THIS"



and wa-lah.



but most emo kids do their hair at home, actually. there are tons of sites that can teach you how to get emo hair. even those that poke fun at emo, they still are right.



Where are some good places I can get a nice emo haircut?

haha.. no there is no national "emo salon" but you go to any salon and tell them what you want and/or show them a picture and they will do it



Where are some good places I can get a nice emo haircut?

cut it yourself real choppy with craft scissors- now that's emo!! then get chunks dyed outrageous colors, in any hair salon really.

Eye color codominance?

Around my pupil is a thin layer of brownish/hazel. It is tiny, you can only see it if you are within about 6inches of me and pay really close attention. Then I have a bigger circle of a greyish-blue. And I have a dark blue that outlines my eyes. Is this an example of codominance? Does it mean anyting that the blue eye color is much more visible than the brown?



My mom has blue eyes, (her father has brown and her mom blue. Everyone on my grandma's side has blue while everyone on my grandpa's side has brown)



My mom is German with blonde hair



My dad has brown eyes (His father has brown and his mom have brown, and everyone has brown on that side too)



My dad is spanish with black hair.



My mom and dad have 6 kids.



All of us have blonde hair and blue eyes. Is it possible that my mom's genes are stronger than my dad's even though her genes are recessive? ( I really think its impossible that my dad was heterozygous for blonde hair)



Eye color codominance?

So, eye color isn't technically codominant. It's actually a really good example polygenic inheritance- where multiple genes influence a single trait, in this case, eye color. Visibility isn't necessarily the reason you observe the differing eye colors- its just that certain genes are coding for one region to be one color and the other, another.



As far as familiar similarities, its purely by chance that everyone is the same eye color. Now, there may have been a BETTER chance, so to speak, if many of the genes controlling eye color masked the affects of your dads genes and what they control, which is why everyones the same. Hair color is another example of polygenic inheritance, controlled by atleast 5 different genes.



Eye color codominance?

Genes or alleles aren't stronger or weaker. Recessive alleles code for a nonfunctional protein or one that isn't apparent in the presence of a dominant alleles protein.



Heresity is still a matter of chance; males and females should have an equally likely chance 50-50 of being born yet we all know families with four girls or 8 boys. Your mom's genes aren't stronger, just her eye color allele was what was passed along with your dad's recessive copy.

My wife is ready to have kids. She says today is the best day to get prego. Any tips for helping us

Like what positions, should I go deep, should I do others things? Ect.



Only info I can give it that she does experience strong orgasms and she does female ejaculation and I makes loads of semen with moderately high sperm count (Got tested).



Does female ejaculation hinder pregnancy? She also belives that redhead get pregnant easier but I don't think hair color has anything to do with it.



Also my mother said I should have her sleep under full moon light when she is pregnant because she did that with me and I am not sure if that has any effect.



Please help! We are a newly married couple and plan to have and build a happy healthy family.....



My wife is ready to have kids. She says today is the best day to get prego. Any tips for helping us concieve?

Missionary and doggie style are the two best positions to TTC. You get deeper penetration, and can ejaculate closer to the cervix.



I'm not a doctor, but I've never heard of a curve in your penis helping or hindering conception. I have read that female orgasm can help increase your chances of conception, but I wouldn't worry about that so much to be honest with you.



I've also never heard anything about sleeping in moonlight. Maybe its an old wives tale and I've just never heard it before.



Relax, have your wife (which it sounds like she may already be doing this) check her fertility signs, or even use ovulation test strips so she knows when she ovulates. Once she knows that...have sex every other day starting four days before the day she believes she will ovulate until four days after the day she believes she will ovulate.



Good luck!!!!



My wife is ready to have kids. She says today is the best day to get prego. Any tips for helping us concieve?

Wow, TMI



My wife is ready to have kids. She says today is the best day to get prego. Any tips for helping us concieve?

Forget the full moon bit, you may miss the ovulation date waiting for a full moon. Female ejac, will help things along as the body contracts during orgasm. Don't worry about the position or the direction your penis points, relax and enjoy the love making and don't focus on making a baby. The more relaxed you are the better your chances.



Have fun and enjoy---good luck



My wife is ready to have kids. She says today is the best day to get prego. Any tips for helping us concieve?

do the nasty, missionary is the best (man on top) insert penis and inject sperm, women lays still with elevated hips for 20 mins fallowing intercourse, then wait one week fallowing the time of expected period and test, you should be good to go, good luck



My wife is ready to have kids. She says today is the best day to get prego. Any tips for helping us concieve?

1st piece of advice- Get off the computer and start baby dancing!!! ;)



2- missionary or doggie style are best I hear



3- female orgasms can actually coax sperm past the cervix



4- make sure she stays lying down for a half hour after the dance



Good luck!

I swear. If I run into one more picture of some 12 year old with a stuffed push up bra and her best friend and her bleached hair, along with the title "We are BAMF's", i'm going to kill Bob or Joe, whatever his name is.



Go read The Catcher In The Rye or something.



Would'nt it be hilarious if all of these kids got kicked off of myspace, etc. until they read a list of books?

Oh, I LOVE you! ( in a platonic way, ha) Yes yes YES! I sell books for a living, so of course I completely agree with you. ( I don't even KNOW what *BAMF's) are, and I'm afraid to ask) "Catcher In The Rye"- excellent. Actually there are a lot of authors that young girls like, such as Francesca Lia Block ( she wrote the "Weetzie Bat" series) they're great books and fun to read as well. Yeah, I know I'm old, but what's a 12 yr old doing with a push up bra??? I wish children that age realized just how dangerous this world can be.

Is 8

My son has the beginnings of pubic hair...is this normal? are kids really developing this quickly?



Is 8 & 1/2 early for puberty to start?

if you and your husband are hairy or have really dark hair then its probably just his hair that you would find on his arms and legs its just dark and more noticable



Is 8 & 1/2 early for puberty to start?

Not these days. E



Is 8 & 1/2 early for puberty to start?

Yeah that seems early to me as well. My 11 yr. old girl is starting to develop and I think that is way to early, I was like 13 exactly. At this rate my 11 year old will be fully developed by 13. OMG!!! I feel your pain.



Is 8 & 1/2 early for puberty to start?

NEVER heard of this. Normally I think around 10, 11 for girls and even later for boys. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about though. He's just maturing early.



Is 8 & 1/2 early for puberty to start?

really rare for a boy i would get him seen asap by his doctor

How is my poem?

love you more than there are fish in the sea and higher than the moon?



I know Claire knew it was coming I say it every morning, night, and noon,



She rolls her eyes and looks at me like every time before,



know daddy, youe told me, and you don need to tell me anymore.?br>



I look at her and smile, remembering her mother eyes,



They sparkle just like hers did, like the stars in the December skies,



My beautiful girl growing up so fast, even though she only four,



Four years since my wife died, four years not any more.



I can imagine what it like for her, growing up with only a dad,



I wonder if seeing other kids with mothers makes her sad,



No one to brush her hair and give her beauty tips when she older,



No mother to lean on when she gets her first broken heart, and sob on her shoulder.



hy did mommy have to die??she says with a curious expression,



I look at her with teary eyes; she always asks this question,



don know Claire, I don know,?this is all I can think to say,



ut I do know even though she gone, she still with you everyday.?br>



Claire smiles her mothers smile as she wraps her arms around my thigh,



love you daddy, and I know mommy does to, so you don have to cry?



I pick her up into my arms and hold on to her tight,



And even though I crying, I know now that everything will be alright.



How is my poem?

How is your Poem..?



It is lovely and it is straight from the heart.



This is the way to write pure verse..you do it well.



There are ways to re work small parts of your poem and also to present it in a different way..however although there exists possiblitly ...there is no real need.



This line..



'But I do know even though she gone, she still with you everyday.?is especially moving to me because I know the truth of these words...



You write the words ..so please be aware you carry great insight ....



I am sure your poem touches many hearts..



You are gifted and touch my energy deeply..



and for that I do thank you..



How is my poem?

Is this based on Nicholas Spark's book At First Sight? Report It



How is my poem?

It's really good!



How is my poem?

I usually don't answer requests for poem evaluations as I am not the slightest bit creative, but I enjoy reading them. This one was ABSOLUTELY beautiful. I'm sure it is more poignant because it is a subject matter very dear to me as I am essentially a single father to two very lovely young ladies, but, it is wonderful even without this unique perspective.



Good luck and God Bless.



How is my poem?

...it's so sad and true....



but I love it =]



How is my poem?

WOW, This was amazing. not many poems can bring a tear to my eyes but yours did. WOW. it reminds me of a poem my friend wrote in 7th grade. The poem was about a little girl who was going to fathers day with her mom. when it was her turn to tell her class about her dad she told them every thing she could remember. and she did this after she herd remarks such as "probably a dead-beat dad" and "she doesn't even have a daddy!" she ends her speech. then tells every one that her dad was killed in an explosion in Iraq the year before. In my friends poem my favorite line is



"I know my Daddy would love to be here today,



But haven is just too far"



sorry about ranting about my friends poem. this one is very very good. i wouldn't change a thing



best of luck, and keep writing!

To white girls who want to be black?

there is nothing wrong with marrying outside of your own race and making beautiful babies and helping world tolerance-thats all to the good-but why do white girls who get with black guys have to try to talk to "ghetto" they even talk more ghetto than ppl who are actually FROM the ghetto? Dont they know how stupid they look? I hate to see a white girl who is dressed nice hair looks nice kids all clean and cute then when she opens her mouth,bam she looks like a dumbA**



To white girls who want to be black?

a case of low self esteem.



To white girls who want to be black?

Some girls are just that way...thats their self. some girls, are trying to be someone they arent. they should be themselves.



To white girls who want to be black?

Your question says a lot more about the black community than it does about white women who date black.



To white girls who want to be black?

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGG GIRL LEMME TELL YOU...!!!..................................



Ok i think it was like 2 months ago, and i lived in a mostly black suburb. So my homegirl and her baby came to my door and nest to her i saw this one white girl i have never seen before( there are no other white people in my neighborhood) And so I was being nice, and i had no white friends so we chilled and watched a movie. and then after my home girl bought some weed (i hadda do it for her) We all went home. Ok she talkss soo ghetto. But she is a foster child from Decatur Ga. So she dosen't know any one, and then i heard she walked up to this house with like 10 guys (obviously black) all smoking weed and and comes up to them acting all stupid and bragging about how ghetto she is, and lets them run a train on her. Like 10 guyz. Mind you again she has never met and of these guys before in here life! They ejaculated on her face and everything. And then 2 weeks later she said she thinks she is pregnant and she wanted to find her "baby daddy" and started thinking of all these ghetto names for the child. Thank god she wasn't

Is this unfair?

my friend got called to the office b/c this other kid said that she had a knife, she then got searched-she didn't have aknife and they all knew it. then the v.p. said that her hair was ditracting b/c it was teo different colors (blond on top black on bottom) the v.p. said that she had to change it b/c it was too distracting rite? and they aren't doing anything about these two kids-one has blue hair in the front and black in the back, the other has cherry red hair. is it fair that they aren't doing anything to the people with unnartural hair colors, but they are making her change her hair?? I need personal opions here people.



Is this unfair?

This really isn't fair! There is no law that says that a person cannot have an unnatural or "distracting" haircolor. If the administration threatens further consequences, you should take up the issue with the Board of Education for your state. Get involved!



But, please, check your school's handbook carefully beforehand. There may be a clause written in about just this sort of thing (especially if you go to a private school).



Is this unfair?

no not fair



Is this unfair?

I really think this is unfair.I also think they don't really like your friend.



Is this unfair?

Yes, not fair at all. I guess they just want to have the last word since they couldn't get him/her about the knife.



Is this unfair?

no its not fair but that what is always going to happen . Some kids get punished whilr others they don't do any thing about . It sucks but that what happens .

How do I remove clear oily marks from flat paint on ceiling?

During a kids party, we played worm toss.. they stuck to the ceiling, hair, walls everywhere! When removed they left a greasy oily mark on the paint. How can I get rid of that with avoiding a new paint job?



How do I remove clear oily marks from flat paint on ceiling?

Flat paint is almost impossible to remove stains. You could try a bit of Dawn dish liquid.:)



How do I remove clear oily marks from flat paint on ceiling?

httnmrtt You Goofball.... Ya got me !!!!! lol Report It



How do I remove clear oily marks from flat paint on ceiling?

I agree, this is the best answer however, it did not work. Thank you though! Report It



How do I remove clear oily marks from flat paint on ceiling?

Eat everything in the refrigerator and you should be able to projectile puke onto the ceiling. The acid from your stomach should eliminate any greasy, oily stains. Beer barf works wonders.

Does anyone remember the name of the kids tv show with Teabag in it?

I vaguely remember it....used to love it. But now can't remember much of it. Teabag was the bad lady (in a red dress, dark hair...later replaced by a blonde lady who was not so believable) with a little blonde boy sidekick....



Does anyone remember the name of the kids tv show with Teabag in it?

Yes. It ran for about 9 series between 1985 and 1992 T-Bag and the Wonders in Letterland was the first series.

Yes. It was called T-bag.



One of the actresses who blayed Teabag is now in Emmerdale.



Does anyone remember the name of the kids tv show with Teabag in it?

It is T-Bag (makes sense doesn't it!)



It was aired from 1989 to 1990.

BMI says you're overweight. i'm not trying to be mean by saying this!! but maybe you have a low self-esteem because you don't like what your mirror's showing you. work out a couple of days a week and i bet you'll have a lot higher of a self-esteem!

you[re so right

Anyways, hehe you seem not bad looking.



Whats up with all these wierd goth and emo kids they are so stupid?

Whats up with all these wierd goth and emo kids they are so stupid?

They're just expressing themselves through their outer appearance. It's not meant to offend, and in most cases they are NOT looking for attention.



In most cases it is meant to be an artistic expression, and can be quite creative.



Whats up with all these wierd goth and emo kids they are so stupid?

Tell me about it.



Whats up with all these wierd goth and emo kids they are so stupid?

i think emo is stupid



goth



teens dress (act) goth for attention i bet



they aren't really goths just dumb kids

I live in sc chester county,im going through a divorce and i know my x is doing drugs mag/cocain?

we have asked for an emergency hearing what are the chances the judge will make her take a drug test,we want a hair sample no kids involved in the divorce she has 2 contemp charges pending and i pay 300 in alimony we are trying to get alimony drop if she has money for drugs then she doesnt need alimony,



I live in sc chester county,im going through a divorce and i know my x is doing drugs mag/cocain?

My guess is that you have a temporary order for separate support and maintainance which is not alimony, alimony happens once you are divorced. Good chance of her being tested. You may want to shell out some $$$ for a PI though in case she passes and try to get her for adultery since it bars (blocks) alimony. If you have an attorney, talk to them about this, if not, go get one.



I live in sc chester county,im going through a divorce and i know my x is doing drugs mag/cocain?

Get your attorney to do this.



Chances are very high that you will be tested also.

Hi Just an update

They are all thriving & mamma is so good with them, (2 weeks old this tuesday coming) they are all long hair fat balls of lovliness!!! I have one little concern though, the other day Tiggy took them from the living room, probably to noisy for her & when I wasn't looking my son (autistic & very gentle with them) would pick them up so she may have been worried for them, anyhoo she took them into my daughters bedroom & hid them under some clothes in her wardrobe, I just replaced the clothes with her basket & left her there but Abbey is coming back tonight so I need to move them, I will put them in my room where I know they wont be disturbed but I am worried she might try & move them somewhere else or hurt them, she is totally at ease with me & lets me handle the babies anytime I dont touch them often (can't get attached!) Do you think she will be ok if I move them? gizmo & babe never go in my room, also when can I treat them for fleas & worms? they havent got worms but do have fleas x ty



Hi Just an update & a question about tiggy & the 'kids' They are getting bigger by the day, eyes are open cute

I think you will be fine to move them!



Move her into your room first and then she will see where you are putting them!



Lift the bed with them in it and don't actually touch them this time if you can possibly help it!



And as for the worming and fleas - buy the spray and tablets to do it and read the packet and that will tell you what is the youngest age you can treat them - or ask your local vet that question!It is so long since I had any kittens and they were weaned when I got them anyway that I cannot remember!!!



Hi Just an update & a question about tiggy & the 'kids' They are getting bigger by the day, eyes are open cute

Great to hear Tiggy doing well, shes obviously a good mum, when my cat Polly had kittens she didn't like anyone else but me to handle the kittens, so Tiggy sounds exactly the same. Don't worry about moving her into your room, she should settle down quickly in the peace and quiet. Don't envy you in a few weeks time, when the kitties are on the rampage, you won't get a decent nights sleep! You can use Frontline spray on the kittens, get this from the vet. Its a bit pricey, but can be used on kittens from 2-3 days old. Used it on mine, and the fleas were all totally dead by next day. X



Hi Just an update & a question about tiggy & the 'kids' They are getting bigger by the day, eyes are open cute

its good that mom and babies are doing well. i wouldnt have thought it could be a problem moving them from room to another as long as mom sees you move them and then has time to adjust. you could ask the vet when is the best time to treat for worms and fleas. we treated our dog for both when he was about ten weeks old but it may be differnt for a cat



Hi Just an update & a question about tiggy & the 'kids' They are getting bigger by the day, eyes are open cute

So glad Tiggy is doing well,she sounds a good Mum, also the kids , I am sure they will be fine tucked away from the noise in your bedroom, Keep up the good work,

Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

I guess you could call me normal. Or sane, at least.



Most of the world is too weird to be called normal. Or maybe eird?is normal by today standards. But our city is an exception. Nothing weird here. No power-hungry masterminds scheming to take over the world. No mad scientists blasting up the place. No savage beasts escaping from the zoo and creating havoc. No macho super heroes jumping in just in time to save the day.



No thrills.



No nothing.



So that what I am. The typical kid. Obsessed with my hair. Obsessed with Backstreet Boys. Sick of school.



etsy!!?someone screeched.



I shook myself out of my stupor. od!?I prayed, hy can you make History a teeny bit more interesting??br> etsy!!?



omin? mom.?I said. nything to take my mind off that Stupid History test I studying for.?upposed to be studying for.? said a voice in my head.



eah, right.?I said, trudging down the stairs. Mom had all the dishes out on the kitchen floor, and was cleaning out the cupboards.



Mom turned when she heard me enter. etsy, what have you been doing??I did a double take. s that some sort of a trick question or something??I asked. Mom gave me a look and continued ave you cleaned up your room like I told you to??



h-oh. Double uh-oh.?I thought. e been so intrigued by my History textbooks that I completely forgot.?Pfftame. My lamest excuse, in fact.



m just about to start. Maybe Il just go up and?er?.?I said aloud. Mom like a cannon. You never know when shel blow up. And, trust me; you don want to be on the receiving end of her wrath. Seriously.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

What do I say..... I am stumped. Going by your profile u seem to be a teenager, and for someone your age this is great stuff. Don't be disheartened by critics, I tell you that's the easiest job ( finding fault with others work ) You go ahead you're doing great. I am sure you'll reach great heights and do yourself and your parents proud. God Bless and Good Luck.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

I don't think a teenage girl would have an inner voice that sounds like "Dirty Harry"



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

Entertaining...but put down the pipe.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

i'm not sure that it is the type of stuff that i would read, simply because it's just not my style; however, if i did read this kind of material, i would read this. it's pretty interesting for an opening, and it did catch my attention. what genre is it? i am curious to know. Good luck with this.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

No. It's not drawing me in. It's not cutting at me, it's not grabbing my emotions. Who cares about where she is sitting or that she's an orphan. Get right ot the action and show her reaction. This is called exposition. Save it for the transitions. Just right to something exciting to draw the reader in.



Some greaet beginnings:



Dean Koonz "Watchers"



Orson Scott Card "Enders Game"



O'Henry "The Green Door"



O'Henry "Conscience in ARt"



Barbara Smucker "INcredible Jumbo"



Mike Shayne "A Real Nice Guy"



Willis Harman and Howard Reingold "the introduction to Higher Creativiy"



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

Personally, I wouldn't. I like reading about actual weird people, or at least untypical people. With the girl being a normal kind of girl, the story seems like it will be quite predictable and uneventful...but that's just to me. There are plenty of people who like reading about people they can easily relate to.



It's well written though. You have excellent grammar, and I love the metaphor about the mum being like a cannon!



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

There is something about it that sounds false and forced. Like already I know that in this quiet little town, some aliens are going to land and carve crop circles in the lawn, or a blob is going to slip under the doors at the movie theatre. Or Bestsy is going to start carving Devil's Mountain out of her mashed potatoes. It just calls out to me "WATCH YOUR BACK BETSY!"



It needs some work. Some of the grammar and punctuation is off - but mostly I really get the feeling you are telegraphing some terrible incident.



If not, then it's going to be a very boring story LOL. Work on it. Pax - C.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

reads well so far . We all need another coming of age book that puts it's finger on the pulse of the time but yet can include the older generations & the ones to come



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

Ok, I'll play the critic, I'm good at it, I edit for a living.



I like your prose. You paint a nice picture. However, this sounds more like a character sketch more than the opening to a story.



Where is your story going?



Did you just stop short of including the thing that's going to grab my attention an make me turn the page?



Most importantly, why are you telling me all these things?



Think for a moment about the things you say you like in your profile. All of those stories tell you something about the story itself on the first page; they don't give the whole thing away, but they are all make strong declarations. Character development comes later.



Whatever you do, don't stop writing. It's becoming a lost art.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

I actually kind of liked it, and I'm a freelance book editor. I like young adult fiction with a twist. I hope this book is about an ordinary little town where something extraordinary is about to happen.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

I wouldn't continue reading if this was the opening. I am quite tired of self-conscious characters asking boring self-conscious questions about whether or not they are normal. Really, who cares? I'm not going to care about a character's sense of self-worth until that character has made me invest in them, and the first page is not long enough for me to invest anything in a character. For a truly great opening page try reading Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca.



Lines like 'The typical kid' just scream BORING. A typical kid? Great, there are billions of typical kids out there and they are the last thing I would ever want to read about. In addition I think books written by teenage characters in the first person need to have a real edge to them in order to be interesting, and this one doesn't.



Good luck and good on you for seeking criticism in order to improve. Just try to find a forum for criticism where you know the people criticising you actually have some idea of what they are talking about.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

This may seem like a stupid critique but the name Betsy doesnt really sit with me. Its a very old fashioned name - I dont know anyone under 50 called Betsy. So I think it would be more believable with a different name



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

Good beginning to a early teens book. Got my interest.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

I think this can turn out to be a really interesting story. What you should try to do is expand your descriptions. The characters their surroundings and the effects and emotions acting upon them. This can be something good, seeing as this seems to only be half of the intro, it seems unfair for me to judge whether i would read the entire book, but based on this, yes i probably would (^-^).



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

yes its verry catchy !!!!



whats it called so i can start reading it ?



it sounds good



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

yeah i think this is great! =) i would definitely read it! keep up the good work!



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

What changes from this eternal "normal"? Anything?



Is this a statement of the times, a journey, what?



If change is afoot, please alude to it. Like the editor said, it seems you stopped just short of letting us know 'the catch' when you were listing all the things that didn't happen around there.



Otherwise, the writing itself was excellent. No eye-snags, and there's a lot to be said for that.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

I think a lot of the comments you got were right on. At the same time, because I am a fledgling writer, I try to drill down because what I sense in what u have written is "a beginning."



There is a lot of emotional "content" that you have not "explored." What I mean by that is, for example, you describe your mom's reaction. you just dont' know when she will "blow up." How else could you say this and, if u r willing to explore the idea of how else to say this, how else would you say so much of what you said? How else would u say a lot of what you said? The feelings are there, the concepts are there. I just don't think you have quantified them in original voice.



Does this help?



I hope so.



I want to add, I think it's awesome that u have actually developed this text. It speaks to me. It tells me this is important to u. I feel like I can validate ur feelings...i.e, been there. Thanks for sharing.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

no... probably not. the writing is amateurish and unoriginal. Although, if you are writing a book for kids in the second to third grade range, it is probably good enough. Depending on the plot, which is not clear from this excerpt.



Final point:



Don't quit your day job.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

Yes because it is hooking me in.



Would you read a story starting off this way? You can play the critic?

Honestly, it didn't really draw me in. I may have read for a few more pages, maybe even a chapter, but deep in my heart I crave explosions and car chases.



I do, however, like the style of Betsy's inner voice. It's... Well, it reminds me a little of the early detective/film noir style.



Throw in a car chase and you're on your way. >.>
