Hi All – Regarding lice – MAYONNAISE! It is not flammble, it is emmusified, so it washes out easily, and it smoothers the little buggers just as well.

Hi Mel, here's a link to a page that lists some good safety rules for using candles. I think it would probably be safer for your cousin if she didn't try to alter her candles in any way. Tea lights are cheap -- just buy more! Hope this helps.

Oh wow. too scary. Vaseline is flammable but they recommend to “gently” HEAT THE VASELINE COVERED SCALP WITH A HAIR DRYER!! Oh My!!

Wow! That’s awesome! I love how in Jason’s comment it says “sending a child to school with Vaseline matted hair will probably be viewed as socially unacceptable to the child and his/her peers.” That’s hilarious! I’m pretty sure Jason would do that to Josh just for kicks! haha

@ Jason: Yep, lice problem solved. And I'm thinking permanently... @ Anita: LOL. I'm just saying that some people really like their vaseline, and maybe they need to be careful. I mean, have you seen this?

Umm Clint just wondering when and why would you need to slather yourself with Vaseline and if you did do that why would you be near an open flame? Hmmm there’s seems to be more going on in the Williams household than we thought hee hee

And, I dunno… if they were giant matchsticks, and you lit their hair on fire, it WOULD take care of the lice. Just a thought.
