Yes Trho. I know that stuff. I can put that out of my mind though. A fucking two inch icky bug with feelers on my forehead I can NOT get out of my mind.

I have finally pinpointed the thing I hate the most in this world...

I like the mites that live in your eyebrows.
I used to think that the floating things you saw when you closed your eyes were bugs too. |

I once drank a roach at the Oasis on Lake Travis in Texas. It was in my bloody mary and I thought it was a celery leaf until I spit it into my napkin.
Having to inspect my bloody marys into perpetuity was just the softer side of my emotional scarring from that event. |

Palmetto bugs do fly, which makes them much freakier than German roaches any day.
Did you have Cajun boiled peanuts? They are better than the salt flavored. |

they have those flying roaches in Arizona too, or at least they did in Phoenix - you'd see them clustering around front porch lights, getting singed and
then flying erratically all over the place. I refused to visit friends after dark. Texas seems to just have the big water bug types and they're mostly
outside.
And men are useless in dealing with them - they just don't understand why most women freak out about them - I didn't have one on my face, but I did have one crawl down my back when I was sleeping and Mr CBR claimed I was just imagining things - I almost threw the squashed carcass at him. My cats used to bring them in through the cat door 'cause they were "fun" to play with. |

I'm usually the one who kills the bug. But honestly these things are HUGE and he is stronger than me. Especially because I was a bit drained after the
facewalk thing.

I use a broom - he's always saying just step on it - I do not want bug goober on my shoes
a broom for me - I'd worry that the flying ones would attack me if I got too close and yep, I am a real pussy about bugs |

In mosquito territory we have electrified tennis rackets that are basically portable bug zappers. You catch one, there's a flash and a "pop", and
the bigger the bug the louder the pop. Sometimes it even smokes and smells like burnt toast. It'd be fun to try it on a roach.

One of the greatest things about the family home is that it is in an area that only gets above 75 degrees a couple times a year. Inhospitable to the bug-ugs. Canookian atlantic coast > all bug cultures.

In other words, even bugs don't want to live in canookistan.

I once had to accompany an exterminator and housing manager inside to spray a few apartments. The Hindu's inside refused access due to their religious objection to killing bug-ugs. There were THOUSANDS of cockroaches, seriously. In the kitchen, bedrooms and every possible space. Unafraid of the light or people. I went back and changed my clothes and put the uniform in a sealed garbage bag and rushed it to the cleaners. Gives me the shakes thinking about that day.

The thought of many a sleepless night for TC...the faintest tickle on her cheek making her jolt upright in fear...the ensuing mania, arouses me to no end.

Yeah. But I'm rid of the bugs. You will live in your own personal loserdom forever.
