The Curious Properties Of Coconut Oil

Hey, do you have coconut oil?  I was given a jar when ******a came over and massaged me -- you know, before she went nuts on me and hasn't called because she thinks her cell is being tapped.  It's amazing that it has a melting point that's, like, in the seventies or so.  Above that it looks like an oil should.  Below that, it's a paste.

I learned on the Internet that I should not apply pure, undiluted tea tree oil onto my scalp in order to boil down the bumps on my head.  Instead, it should be cut with several drops of coconut oil, at about a ratio of 10-to-1.  Disregarding the fact that I don't do it once my hair gets even a wee bit long (should get my hair cut soon), the problem with trying to make this mixture is that, until the hot weather recently, the coconut oil was a solid.  You can't draw up solid coconut oil from a syringe, like I want to do.  So I have taken advantage of the warming temperatures by putting this jar of coconut oil and the little droplet bottle in which I make the coconut/tea tree oil mixture at my window, held in by the blinds.  The Sun sets right at my window, so its rays are strong enough (at least nowadays) that the coconut oil will melt.  But it has been cool enough once night falls that the jar of coconut oil becomes solid again.  And I just checked: Right now, it partially clear, partially in solid form, but the clear part appears suspended.

Coconut oil is weird, man.
