Speaking of bugs……
My friend, Cheryl, who’s husband was away for a month on a business trip, had a bug problem about a week before he returned home.
She went into her bathroom (the one attached to her bedroom) one night, and when she turned on the light, an enormous bug came flying at her.
She screamed, and shut the door, with the bug still in the bathroom. The door never got opened again until her brave husband came home and saved they day! He disposed of the bug and reclaimed the bathroom.
We lived in Charleston, South Carolina back then,
and they grow those Palmetto Bugs really big!
I found this description (in the extended entry of this post) about these Palmetto bugs during one of my internet travels
Palmetto Bug or Cucaracha (cockroach). They’ve got to be the ugliest, most despicable-looking creature alive, but I’m sure their mothers love them. Palmettos appear to be roughly the size of a Buick - up to two inches for the American cockroach or 5/8 of an inch for the German cockroach, they usually wait until you stumble into the bathroom in the middle of the night before flying kamikaze-like in your direction. Keep all food tightly sealed or locked in the refrigerator to keep their numbers down. Wear a pace-maker when you get up at night.
Does anyone else have as much trouble as I do deciding on the title of a post?
Somehow, it seems very important – to me if not to anyone else.
Well, I guess if that’s my toughest problem of the day, I must be doing OK.
