Goldfish?

I hate to tell you this, but you can't keep goldfish in a bowl. To keep them humanely, you need at least a 5-gallon tank per fish, preferably more, with pumps and filters, the whole works.

Goldfish, when kept correctly, live to be at least 30 years old.

I found all this out when my kids brought home two fish from a carnival -- I too kept them in a glass bowl, and thought they would be happy with regular water changes. But when I started to do research on proper care, I learned that keeping them that way is cruel, akin to slowly torturing them to death.

How about a guinea pig?

I was wondering if there were not larger issues and I'm very glad you responded. 

We're not prepared to deal with a tank, so I won't be getting any goldfish. Thank you   

for letting people know this. (But now you have to write to Elmo too!)

Who said you can't keep goldfish in a bowl?

Head lice help!!!!

Go to the Lice Lady! (info below)

A few years ago my daughter came home with lice. A neighbor gave me the number for A. R. My daughter has very long, very thick hair. She combed it relentlessly and and patiently with a very fine toothed comb. First with just gobs of conditioner, then conditioner and baking soda. Then again after washing it. You can try this yourself, but the magical comb is key. All I have to say is that after we went, I combed (she sells the comb) my daughter's hair nightly for a week or two and never again found another nit, or egg.

Nothing. She is very thorough and never uses chemicals, ever. It was I think $80. 

Worth every penny for the peace of mind.
