bugs in your head...

are you scratching your head just reading the title??....lol....

head lice is running like a wild grass fire in our neck of the woods and i am scared to death of having to pick through my hair.... in the past, i have never been to worried since the boys always had their hair so short it was not a big threat in our house hold but, with the long hair in style now and one of my sons has grown his, i worry that he may pick it up and i will not be happy....... with school also starting in 2 weeks, we always have the big scare in the schools as well.... so,my question to you all is...... what have you heard that works well as a preventive method?.

i have heard vinegar and tee tree oil works.??

Its a constant problem in our kids school, all it takes is one person not to bother sorting their child out and they just re-infect everyone again. We keep our kids hair very short in school time - also use a tee-tree oil based shampoo - it stinks but the little buggers don't like it! It worked so far for us.

My wife is thinking of quitting the "truth"!

by Goldminer in

.

last night my wife said she was thinking about quitting the truth.she says she finds it too hard with me having doubts and not wanting to be a jw anymore.she has also been burned by her few jw friends,and the rest are either disfellowshipped or getting divorced.it's really hard to build lasting relationships with such people in the religion.. another positive factor is that she has made 2 good "worldly" friends over the past year.i think she's starting to see that people on the outside can be nice,have morals and accept others as they are.. i hope in time she starts feeling good about this decision and that i can slowly show her the many errors of the wts.so far she agrees with many of the things i've told her but still believes it's the truth.it's a hard battle but i never tought i'd hear her say those words.. btw,she finally called a local elder to see if he can help me with my many questions.he's coming over tonight so it should be quite interesting.i think he'll be a little surprised at some of the direct questions i have;i'm also hoping that after a while he decides there's not much hope for me and just labels me an apostate and starts talking about df'ing me.that would show my wife their attitude towards answering questions that have no scriptural answers.. anyways,i'll do my best to keep you all up-dated.it can be hard to post as my wife diesn't know i come here on a regular basis.. goldminer

Btw,she finally called a local elder to see if he can help me with my many questions.He's coming over tonight so it should be quite interesting.I think he'll be a little surprised at some of the direct questions I have;I'm also hoping that after a while he decides there's not much hope for me and just labels me an apostate and starts talking about df'ing me.That would show my wife their attitude towards answering questions that have no scriptural answers

Good luck Goldminer. This is what I did too. I called in the elders thinking they would answer Simon's questions and sort him out !That meeting and they way they answered him, how they treated him was what convinced me that what Simon was saying made sense and I agreed to look into things properly with an open mind, didn't look back.

About £30,000 - but its wasn't mine, damn. I used to work in a bank and had to fill the cash machine every few days.

we got two adorable kittens yesturday.

i just went into the bathroom, and phew, pretty smelly in there.

it's where the kitty litter box is.

Angharad

They both watched me. And once I finished, they lined up, and took turns to start thje cycle again.

LOL I remember that with ours it was like a race between them who could be the first to squeeze a little bit of pee out, so they used the brand new litter first. Drove me mad,
