    Ah! How did you end up getting the mom & babies off the pillow?

    My, now ex, husband put a gardening glove on and brushed them onto the fitted sheet and we bundled it up and threw it in the fire pit.

    The dirty sheets that were in the laundry were totally washed and all the laundry was washed, dried, and folded before I felt comfortable even LOOKING at the bed. Then, since we only had two sets of sheets for our HUGE bed at the time, one was now ashes and the other was being washed. I told him to order another set off Amazon.com. He laughed and asked if he should search specifically for "scorpion proof" ones. :laugh:

    I have never seen a cockroach in real life except for once at the zoo. I'm not an overly squeamish person, but I would freak the heck out if I saw some of those bad boys in my house. I don't envy you lot!

    Really? They're everywhere in both Oman and Saudi Arabia. Really big ones, too. We once lived in a house with a broken sewer cover in the yard, and there would be 30-50 HUMONGOUS cockroaches running all over the yard during the summer. You literally had to step/hop/jump/zigzag to avoid them on your way in and out of the walled courtyard. I assure you that this always involved plenty of shrieking on my part.

    Last night, while checking the kitchen in the admin building, I stepped on one... it was huge. It was gross....The lights were off and it's wiggling body was attached to my shoe when I stepped into the lit hallway.... :astonished:

    I was about to hop into bed one night while living in Odessa, TX when a mother scorpion released her babies from her back....All over MY PILLOW!

    Normally, I would just hope into bed with the lights off. I'm SO glad I didn't. I still cant. I ALWAYS check my bed/sheets.

    That night ALL the dirty laundry got done and the sheets that were on the bed at the time were thrown in the fire pit and burned.

    What other choice was there, really?

    I don't trust a country where the response is to cling tighter to guns after the mass murder of innocent children to have the common sense not to drink.

    This
    Not that whole country, just those 'we must fight for our guns even though we have the highest amount of shooting deaths in the world' wing nuts

    But the dogs hate everyone....

    I've learned from previous dating exploits that I really can not trust Tessa's judgement when it comes to people.
    When it comes to whether or not I should take her for a walk? TOTALLY trust her. 10/10! Both Paws down! I trust her 100%

    strangely enough, if we're outside, they love everyone, unless its another dog.
    once home, anyone who enters is the enemy, unless they hang around long enough for them to get used to them, which takes a while. even longer if it's a dude.

    These might be new?

    That's them, they just have a different top from the standard icing swirl. I may need to track these down. Need being a relative term, of course.

    Yep. I've also seen them prancing around the streets of both Philadelphia and Baltimore, though never NYC. Hmm.

    Guns are not the entire problem. The bigger part of it is the lack of respect and regard for human life and the lack of empathy.

    Just like you don't NEED religion to have morals. If you can't determine right from wrong, then you lack empathy, not religion.



    ETA: spelling is hard.... :grumble:

    ETA: Confession: This is REALLY hard for me but, because this is a 'hot issue' or an 'inflammatory issue' and I don't want the thread shut down, I will ignore the topic and anything else said on it despite my passion for all of my rights. Are the supporters or the spokespeople for the supporters of the second amendment always right? No. Are the people who want more gun control always right? No.
    Do we all have a right to our opinions? Yes.

    I also know I have enough empathy to realize that I can not and will not try to convince someone else to share my opinion just because they hold a different one. I've been on that side before and it doesn't do anything but waste the time of both sides of the argument/disagreement/issue.

    Just extending this long enough to say, I'm on your side @lilaclovebird. Must be the cop in me. LOL

    I saw some when I went travelling in Borneo. I've never moved so quickly.
    I am fine with bugs, leeches, moths, no problem. Cockroaches are a whole other thing. They move SO fast it just freaked me out.

    I can't think of any reason to take your food into the bathroom at all. Even if I had bought my food before I got the urge, I would find a safe place to set it down before going to the bathroom.
    How does one wash their hands? Even if you washed your hands the tray with your food is dirty when you pick it up and you dirty yor hands. Totally Gross.

    I agree. I'm not a germophobe, but I won't even take an open drink container into a public bathroom. Ick.

    I would HOPE they would know they can carry into the alcohol serving restaurant/bar but have the COMMON SENSE to NOT DRINK ALCOHOL!

    Ah, but I doubt it. I have very little faith in other humans to have much common sense... just based on past experience.

    I rented apartments in my younger years. If your neighbors get them, it's almost impossible to get rid of them. Hadn't seen one in YEARS until my daughter moved back from her apartment and moved a few with her. AARGH!!

    Luckily, we have a contract with a pest control company. I never saw any after the day we were unpacking her stuff.

    @riderfangal You mentioned liking to read the silly stories about me and my husband, so I dug up this one from my birthday last year. I contributed it towards a funny moment book published on Wattpad by a friend, and took a screenshot of the moment in the published book to remember it by. The "Fattos..." was her commentary. :D

    That is gross!!! And I am not a germophobe.

    Neither am I, but food & bathrooms should be kept separate!

    I've only seen one here (outside of zoos), it was on the side of the hot tub in the West Edmonton Mall Water Park. I assume it came in with all the tropical plants they have in there.

    I put it in the Batcave under Funny Pictures, but I officially declare this song the Confessions theme song! "We all belong to a tribe. It's good to know this one's mine."
