What if it laid eggs on her clothes???

I never would have been able to slep with it in her dresser lol

I totally blame you guys......We were dissing them so bad, one came to get me !

and cause I'm such a nice guy - I took a picture for you - this is a medium sized Tree Roach....a little Ant Spray and he flipped over so fast you couldn't even Finish the words "HOLY (fill in the blank)"

and to show how BRAVE I am LOL - I actually picked him up by his creepy legs cause the girls wanted to play with him (I had sprayed it) so I had to get rid of it FAST.

EWWWW

At our old house, there was always construction going on around us (new subdivision) so we would see critters that would get displaced from the empty lots. Well, one time I was in the kids' bathroom (pretty small area) and I saw a roach... actually a waterbug thing (like a roach but much bigger I think - at least that's how I understand the difference). Well, this thing was between me and the doorway. The only thing in the room that I could try to kill it with was my husband's size 12 tennis shoe. I grabbed it and swung (it was on the floor) and when I did, the dang thing jumped up and came right at me. I screamed like a "girl" and hopped around like an idiot. Our poodle came running screaming and yapping thinking his mommy was being attacked. It took both of us quite a while to calm down from that trauma!

A bee got on my leg once in the car not too long ago & I screamed bloody murder then screamed "STOP!!!!!!!! PULL OVER!!!!!!!" and got out & did some kind of a dance!? LOL By the time I get back in the car I can hardly breathe from dancing (severe asthma) and there's tears running down my face. While my fiance is in the car laughing his butt off. And poor Chloe thought her Mommy was dying - she was freaking more than I was...she didn't leave my side for at least 48 hours.

In the heat of the moment I thought Iwas gonna die, but of course, looking back it's hilarious

Oh well, I'm sure the neighbours liked the show hahaha. In fact, I was right in front of a NHL player's house & a few days later he saw me walking Chloe and said "I have to tell you, we laughed so hard when you leaped from the car to kill the bee! But don't worry, my wife would do the same" I was MORTIFIED. He's the nicest guy in the world thought (wife, too). He had seen my boyfriend the day before & asked what the heck was wrong with me?! LOL

If there had been hundreds, I literally would have died!

I'm sure it is easy for any type of bug to hitch a ride but I can't stand the thought of a cockroach, blak!

You poor thing! Don't remove the cup! LOL

I agree. He probably hitched a ride from the postal warehouse.

When I went to Ecuador I saw the HUGEST roach ever!!!!!!! It had big wings too!!

Actually, roaches do not use their wings unless they absolutely have to. One town a long time ago had a garbage dump infested with roaches, so they decided to burn all the garbage to get rid of them. Well, little did they know, that the roaches then used their wings to fly away......INTO TOWN!!!!!!!! Nasty, hugh?

That's why they say that roaches will be the only things to survive a nuclear bomb!

That's why "they" (whover "they" is) say to becareful when you bring paper bags home from the grocery store cuz the nasty roaches sometimes hitch a ride!

Yes we do! LOLOL We had roaches in my dorm when I was in college!!!

Thank GOD I never brought any home.

A teacher told me a story once that she opened a kid's spelling book once, and a roach "flew" out.

xBUTTERCUPx · 05-21-2007, 10:10 AM

I am a total neat freak. I would freak out if I ever saw a roach in my house or wherever. Even if the thing is dead, I would never come near it. DONT knock that cup over. LOL I would be bothered if I knew there was a roach in my house, under a cup. Get the vacuum ready, lift the cup and vacuum away. LOL Just make sure it doesn't fly!
