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...

For me it's eels. F*cking eels.

Eels can't fly. So i'm cool with them. If they start flying, we got a problem.

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.

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.

Jeebus. Do you live in a box?

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.

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!!"

My mom started crying when my parents dropped me off at SIU for the first time. I was like, "What the hell is wrong with you?" Wasn't expecting it.

Tears of joy, obviously.

Same with my mom.

Thirded.

I am the youngest. Pretty sure my mom didn't much care by that point.

Same...sort of. Since I'm the "baby" there was also a bit of that, "MY BABY IS GOING TO COLLEGE! AWWW" thing.

I don't remember my mom crying when she dropped me off at SIU back in the 80's. I guess she was happy to get rid of me.

My mom cried her eyes out when they dropped me off my freshman year. Totally expected it though, she cries about everything, good or bad.

It needs to last just a bit longer, not enough booty.

My parents held it together pretty well when they dropped me off but the 3 calls a day thing got pretty annoying during the first few weeks.

Yeah, my mom lost it when she left. Then my roommate and I scored some booze and the rest is history.

I think 3 is probably a little short.

Good. Good.

I can piece certain things together.
