Believe ..."Eeeeeeeuuuuuuuwwwwweu!" is right, Valda. <BR/><BR/>Believe me, Kim, I went the <I>better living through chemistry</I> route immediately, but I'm special. Or have special needs. Sometimes it's hard to tell them apart. In either case, it just didn't work like it was supposed to! Go figure.<BR/><BR/>It does kind of make you itchy just thinking about it, doesn't it. <BR/><BR/>Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuwwwwweu!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178771612031280593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685065582281848343.post-51588603174100834622008-09-04T17:47:00.000-04:002008-09-04T17:47:00.000-04:00Yuck, yuck, yuck!

Lice on the kid, my god those things are BIG (compared to all those microscopic bugs living in mattresses and such for which I've decided the phrase 'ignorance is bliss' was invented), and I got infested trying to comb out nits and big ol' bugs. <BR/><BR/>To this day, if I feel a little itch on my head I think 'that could be lice and I may never even know they're there'. Blech!<BR/><BR/>I get a shiver down my spine just thinking about it.<BR/><BR/>I tried nit-picking twice, then I woke up infested and then went out and bought Rid and did some chemical extermination. I know it's possible to get rid of an infestation by mechanical means, but I decided I loved chemistry in the end.tmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797561656420404838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685065582281848343.post-31888343561279575262008-09-04T17:26:00.000-04:002008-09-04T17:26:00.000-04:00Oh, so that's what 'cooties' are!

I also think that's why I didn't recognize it sooner - no experience.<BR/><BR/>So it's not as much fun as drawing your dream house - but it's all a learning experience, right? Right?<BR/><BR/>It did take me at least three days to find enough humor in the situation to write about it. <BR/><BR/>And I do see a light at the end of the tunnel.
