You go out to cook breakfast; what DON'T you want to see in the kitchen?


It was just clinging to the wall, boasting in all its disgusting nakedness!

:scared:

I hate insects!!!

I need a man to comfort me. My qualifications are that I love to watch kitschy TV and tinker with computers. Any takers, I don't think so? :D

1. Actually I believe it is a crustacean
Anyway, I hate creepy crawling things in the house too.

3. VERY cool that you had the composure to photograph it.
That says a lot. (Oh, and kitschy TV and computers are NOT necessarily bad things...)

4. I appreciate the compliment, but...
I wish I had my glasses on to get the focus set right. :-( It's close, but I closed in on the antennae rather than the main body...

As for kitschy TV and computers, I just need to find someone with similar interests! But the only people who qualify are hetero, go figure... :-(

5. What Is It?
I've never seen one of these. And I've stayed in some low budget hotels, too. New York is the cockroach capital of the world, I tell you. They come to attend the annual convention, then stay for decades. But this one is new to me. Where do you live?

6. Minnesota, but don't be fooled by its size!
I think it's an isopod, but I'm not sure.

I used the camera in macro mode, so the bugger is much smaller than pictured here (maybe 1/2" in length). :D

7. No mice with forks and bibs on please
that's one of my recurring nightmares. I had mouse droppings in the cabinets - one of the reasons I'm going on a tear painting and cleaning. At least roaches don't make sounds like they're telling you off. SQUEEK SQUEEK - I just know they are calling me a bastard for not feeding them enough. greedy shits.

9. Ugh...
We get mice under our kitchen sink, in the summer. But only in the summer, and only under the sink (they're coming up from the basement).

0We don't get them where any actual food is -- I keep sentinel (live) traps in the pantry and near the fridge and they've never been filled.

Under the sink, with the dishwasher detergent the drain snake, they keep coming back.

8. I suppose
You would rather have them IQF and easy to microwave than having to clean and gut them yourself so early in the morning.

Two things I wouldn't want to see even more:

1) Rat droppings, and

2) Roaches
