Does anyone have experience treating lice across households? Especially with uncooperative coparents?

We may have POTENTIALLY finally gotten this infestation under control but I am so anxious about recurrence because it’s happened multiple times before, so seeking advice anyway.

We have 3 kids, both from prior relationships. His 2 are 50/50 with mom. My daughter is 50/50 with her dad. Everything started with his daughter. We thought she got it from school, however, a recurrent infestation began AFTER school ended for the summer and BEFORE she started summer care. We began to think the recurring source may be their mom (who manages a group home).

Regardless of source, we are having trouble getting her cooperation. She has not treated her own hair, will not comb to check it, and does not comb or treat her daughter’s hair. Her father and I have sunk hundreds into treatments between all 3 kids and ourselves without the mother’s cooperation financial or otherwise. My daughter’s father shaved his head as well, and HIS mom ended up getting lice and we’ve sunk $60 into her head as well.

We are now not finding live bugs or (I think) viable nits, but we are all still itching. We were using a tree tea shampoo and conditioner called HASK but theorized it may have been irritating our scalps so stopped it. Mostly the itching improved a lot after discontinuing that, but I particularly am still having a lot of itching. I’ll get a crawling sensation followed by a pinch and an itch in various locations. It happens throughout the day episodically.

I’m so, so tired guys. I’m still combing and not finding bugs… how likely is it that we still have bugs or at least nits?

Our treatments were Nix Ultra, Nix Ultra All-In-One, Spinosad, and I did ivermectin lotion on just myself.

My boyfriend’s theory is it’s time to leave our scalps alone for a bit to let the irritation stop, but I’m scared that we won’t catch something and then end up with a full blown infestation again. 5 people in one house, plus extended families… it just feels impossible to eradicate.

As a major Violet/Tate fan, Return To Murder House is one of my favorite eps of the entire series. But there’s one part that I always avoid thinking about.

If Mallory travels to the past and runs over Michael, in effect altering the entire timeline, do Violet and Tate never reunite? And relatedly, does Moira never get put to rest with her mother?

My rationale is that the spirit world doesn’t abide by the laws of the human world, so they wouldn’t be affected by the change. But I’m not sure if that’s just me coping 😂

I write spicy content as well, but does anyone else use it for completely non-spicy stories? I’ve actually found that it does really well for this purpose.

The suggested continuations are really funny with this kind of use though because I’ll be writing a sad innocent ghost story and it suggests something like “Jane touches Jack’s ghostly cock as they have sensual, mournful sex.” LOL

I’m wondering if anyone else noticed this. I’ve noticed SO many frontmen of older bands performing either their entire sets or at least a portion of their sets wearing heavy jackets or long sleeves.

Bert: sweater
Will Beckett: jacket
JT Woodruff: jacket
Adam Lazzara: suit jacket???

Not shaming at all. Just a little quirk I didn’t really see on the newer artists.

My boyfriend also picked up on the old guard preferring wired mics vs newer acts using wireless. I told him wired are more reliable. I didn’t have an explanation for the jackets though 😂

Nerd here! Just taking a poll of the best and worst mixes you all heard all day yesterday.

Mostly sanity checking myself here to see if anyone else agrees with me on All That Remains. It seems like they fixed it a little halfway through the first song to help vox but even after that, I felt like the act was “All That Remains’s Drummer ft Those Other Guys.”My bf and I didn’t stay for their set very long and you could hear/feel the drums really far away.

I have been having a really hard time with chronically avoiding my responsibilities lately because they feel like they’re just mounting up. Chronic social media use, fan fiction writing, and… a particular kind of self love, if you catch my drift. The main responsibilities I avoid are laundry, tidying, and the litter box. But it’s starting to affect me at work too (not the “self love” part — I’m not THAT far gone), and I know that will blow up in my face before too much longer.

I’m treated for anxiety and depression, but I feel like this is situational/behavioral and I don’t know how to get out of it. I feel trapped and like I’m being buried alive. And my maladaptive habits just make it worse.

I even outsourced my laundry to try and wipe the slate clean. I paid $90 to a service to pick up, do, and drop off my laundry. A week went by and I was fucked all over again.

What hotels are you guys staying at and what metro lines/stations are they on? Torn between staying farther out to save money or being closer to avoid a long commute after a long day.

If I were to tell the AI that the scene is set in American Horror Story’s Murder House and reference certain characters without making them components or describing them in the prompt, would it successfully be able to place the scene roughly in that context?

Not looking for it to be perfect on the lore, but just generally getting the idea.

I will be extremely pissed if this is true. It’s really important to me that all my stuff remains private. I have NOT published any of my components myself.

I have seen this so many times and it really puts a fire under my ass so I need to vent.

I see more and more that people are using a “lack of object permanence” as a concept to describe a BPD person’s struggle to remain secure in their relationships even when they are apart from their loved one/FP.

I understand the utility in coming up with a shorthand to describe a complex feeling, but guys… this is NOT it. As a history, acquiring Object Permanence is a concept derived from Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development. O.P. is developed in Stage 1 (ages newborn to 2 years old). A common example of the way to spot an infant’s development of O.P. is if you drop a rattle and the infant looks down to see where it went.

If a person failed to acquire their sense of Object Permanence, they would not be able to do things like talk to a person who is in another room (because the person is out of sight). They would not be able to pick a dropped object up off the floor (because without O.P., an object is presumed to have just disappeared into thin air).

Why is this important?

As I am sure you have all experienced at some point as a person with BPD, we are often treated like children. Infantilized and seen as “less than” because of the ways we struggle to function in the adult world. Why in the world would we want to borrow a term from infant development to describe the very real and substantial pain we experience?

BPD isn’t an impairment based in impaired infant neurocognitive development. We shouldn’t misappropriate a term from that field to describe something that stems from completely separate causes. We shouldn’t be contributing to misunderstandings of our own condition. We are, after all, the subject matter experts here.
