dasox24 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 01:31 PM) Cockroaches freak me out. I can deal with most bugs, but not those nasty little bastards. They can fly? Some types of cockroaches can. I distinctly remember the 1st time I saw one - I was 10 and had just moved to Memphis. My brother and I freaked...

NorthSideSox72 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Aug 10, 2011 -> 02:26 PM) Looks like both of the cockroaches that I killed in my house last week... We have some "Amazon" ones in the South. Some of them can fly too. Those are the worst. When I first moved to TN a while back (spent about 3.5 years there), I was introduced to the concept of "inside" cockroaches vs "outside" cockroaches. You don't want the "outside" ones "inside" your house, lest they eat your dog/cat. Jeebus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I feel blessed to say that I don't believe I've ever seen a cockroach in person. Also never been stung by a bee or wasp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlaSoxxJim Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Aug 11, 2011 -> 04:45 PM) I feel blessed to say that I don't believe I've ever seen a cockroach in person. Also never been stung by a bee or wasp. My work-study student aid job in college was to wrangle and rear multiple generations of two different cockroach species for an evolutionary ecology project a PhD student was wiring on. Although I developed a contact dermatitis afer a couple of years of being up to my elbows in roach dander, I was never in the slightest bit creeped out by them. I have honestly been racking my brain trying to come up with something that gives me the willies to add to the other thread, and I can't come up with a single thing. That's not to say I like getting button by mosquitoes, or stung/bitten by fire ants, or that I want vermin in my house. But I'm just genuinely fascinated by all of the creepy crawlies, and the snakes and bats and hagfish and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juddling Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Tomorrow is a big day as my wife and I take our first born off to college for her freshman year. I guess it's just starting to hit me. Ugh...maybe i would have been better off having boys. All i can think of now is that old saying "If you have a boy you just have to worry about one penis...if you have a girl you have to worry about them all!!"
