Fish Oil - Spin off

19 years ago

Feb 22 'Coolmama' posted in reply to fish oil supplements. She mentioned that fish oil (capsules) was good for the hair. Does that mean healthier (adding oil for dry hair?) Or in other ways? My hair has always been oily, & has gotten worse in recent months. I've been taking fish oil supplements for over a year....can it be that the supplements are now responsible for this add'l hair oiliness? I simply cannot get it to feel clean (well, what *I* think of as clean. I know it IS, it's just not what/how I want it. Kinda hard to explain. CM, would you or someone else - expand on your statement, please. Thanks!

When I used to use Pert (for more "body"), I discovered that after awhile, my hair always felt dirty. I started using Suave "daily clarifying" shampoo and it got much better.
I think some shampoos add alot of junk to make your hair feel thicker, but it ends up building up on the hair too much and then it feels dirty.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but might be another reason for your "dirty" hair.

Thanks, Catherinet, for the response. I use Tresseme (sorry, don't think it's spelled right) my hairdresser said is 'the best'. For a long time, I agreed. Suave doesn't do anything positive for my hair & now, I'm getting discouraged with Tresseme. I agree, the shampoos add so much the purpose is defeated. I don't DARE use anything with conditioner. I'll keep looking for answers. Thanks, again, for your suggestion. I appreciate it!

Well not mixing dairy and meat would be impossible here. LOL I'm making white chicken chili with leftover chicken today. I like Chicken salad on crackers more than bread. One of our favorite "leftover" chicken uses is. Rice, broccoli chicken casserole. I use a white sauce, that I add cheese to. (I bet you could use rice milk, and no cheese.) Leftover rice, fresh or frozen broccoli, cooked chicken chunks, shreds, or bits, and pour the white/cheese sauce over it. Bake at 350 covered for about 45-60 minutes. Until hot and bubbly in the middle..

I don't actually make french fries, I make steak fries. Leave the peel on and then cut the potatoes in half length wise and then each half into 4 length wise slices. Then I drizzel them with olive oil and then toss with salt,pepper and Lawry's Steak and Chop blend. Roast on a cookie sheet with the oven turned as high as it goes for about 20 to 30 mintues. Only open the oven once about half way into the cooking time to turn the steak fries over and then continue roasting until they look nicely browned.

Best types of wood floor - spin off from ammu lux's thread

My floor is red oad (with "provincial" stain from min-wax and 3 coats of polyurethane) If you want a harder wood, hickory is a good choice (its what baseball bats are made of). My friend has hickory and ash, it is beautiful. Pre-finished is definitely at DIY project! The price per sq foot is the same (I THINK) but you save on the intall. If I were paying someone to do the floors, I wouldn't go with pre-finished UNLESS it was a remodel and you didn't want to risk sawdust in the house. (Altho we added site-finished floor to a room a couple years ago - there are ways to prevent the dust throughout the house) Keep in mind - I'm no expert, just giving my honest opinion!

I use the bag of Krusteaz from Costco for my pancakes. It makes excellent pancakes. I'll use it for waffles, if I find a machine. Your recipe sounds good Susan!
