While I'm not quite sure I believe the one about the peanut butter on the CD, that one about the bread twist ties is brilliant!!! Thanks so much!

#4 mayo will kill lice.
Not true, Dd had it in the second grade. We did the chemicals, didn't work. We did the mayo. They just asked for a slice of tomato to have with it. What did work was a metal fine tooth comb, dipped in rubbing alcohal after every pull through a section of hair.
It was not an easy process but after 10 days of this it worked when all others failed.
The only side effect was Dd who had straight hair befor has very curly hair now. lol Coincidence? HMMM maybe not!
