    Are you writing a romance novel about the life and love of roaches? You sure are hung up on roaches.

    No. Roaches are incapable of human emotions like love. A roaches existence is futile.

    No, I just see them sometimes and get curious about them.

    Fun fact.
    Whenever I'm tempted to eat something delicious and bad for me, I say "Roach babies" to myself over and over. I imagine roach babies infesting the delicious food and it makes me lose my appetite.

    No they do not fall in love. They get married because marriage makes them healthier and thus has helped them to survive for over 300 million years. Who knew marriage would do that?

    I don't know if I should thank you or be mad at you for putting this idea in my head...

    Funny, I thought marriage took about 20 years off the average lifespan or maybe that is just a person's desired lifespan

    :joy:

    Don't like roaches, but I had a roach clip I bought in Haight-Ashbury back in the 70's that I liked.
