Mornings with Danny and Laura on 91.5 CKPR

We received the letter from the school we always hope to avoid each year...the one about the lice. It happens.

When our kids get lice, it only means that they have clean hair, nothing else. Lice only like clean hair, that's why we give our kids hairspray, mousse and gel to use in their hair, and add Tea Tree oil into our shampoo. Lice don't like it when there is product on hair, and they really don't like tea tree oil.

If they do get lice, here's what we did in our house...we used cooking oil to get rid of them. You still have to go through their hair thoroughly to make sure you get BOTH lice out of their hair and the little nits that may be attached to their hair. It's not fun, but you have to make sure you do a good job because if you miss any, you'll be doing it all over again very soon.

We did get a call from a couple of listeners, one said if you put "Dippety Do" throughout your child's hair, cover it with a shower cap and while the sleep, the hair gel is supposed to take care of the lice. Wash their hair in the morning, but please make sure you check again after you've washed their hair to make sure you indeed did get everything out of ther hair.

Another caller said to buy mayonnaise...not "Miracle Whip" ...it has to be real mayo. Do the same thing with the mayo as suggested with the hair gel. It's supposed to work as well. It will take a few washings to get that hair back to pre-mayo state..but it will be worth it. Remember, again you have to make sure you get everything out of that hair.

Hope this school season sees you lice free!



WATER COOLER CONVERSATIONS....


Lotto Super 7 was launched back in June of 1994, and has generated sales of close to $11.5 billion
In the past 15 years, players have won almost $6.7 billion

The largest ever Super 7 jackpot awarded, was back in May 2002…4 winning tickets shared almost $38 million.

One of the great marketing ads for Super 7 was the introduction of their Super 7 heroes, including:
…2 Weeks Notice Man
…Relaxo
…Cosmetica
…Professer Splosh
…and The Splurger

September 18th the final jackpot will be given away, around $21 million. What happens if no one wins it? It will be shared among the winners in the next prize category.

Now comes Lotto Max…this will replace Super 7. You’ll choose 7 numbers from a field of 49. It will cost $5, instead of $2, but it will be for a 3 game play.
