back for more. But this is a comment on your punny ant haiku:
You punny, pun, punny punster CeeMarie! I like this one a lot & the pic
but if it does not matter too much, the haiku Gods suggest drop all caps. But we enjoy whatever you heart brings up because they are always so "heartistic". Shalom & joys

Avant-guard-Thanks for coming by!
More and more of my "southern" friends are calling these water bugs and Wiley said they call them pine bugs (Canada). The ones in my clip art "look" the closest to what these "wood roaches" (what they call them in SE TX) I could find. But whatever they are, I would never submit to lying in a box with 15000 crawling all over me for any amount of time (what I watched waiting on my allergy shot at the drs. office, only they were 15000 Madagascar hissing roaches.) Y-U-C-K!

Hi Brettnik --
Thanks for the comments and glad you weren't weirded out. Jay and I are galloping in double/harness quite happily again. I have not posted at the Relationship site for quite a while. I still have relapses, so am trying to avoid the inevitable recall/longing syndrome. My husband is a keeper for sure!

Jane-
OOOOOOhhhh, they ARE dreadful. Our first home needed a kitchen remodel as it was built in 1938 and the kitchen was pretty ....... detracting. As we were pulling off wood trim and old cabinets, little pepper-like specks cascaded down on the countertop, that we later discovered were roach eggs, which could survive something like 40 years (according to the exterminator). He
also discovered termites, which in our case enacted a LAW that termite inspection was mandatory before the home could sell. (He'd done the inspection, but the owner, who was also the realtor, refused to let him in the basement/garage! He was mighty suspicious and with good cause. The only damage was to our bank account balance!) It is ancient history nowadays, but I have buggy stories out the wazoo!

Wiley-
Yes, I read about your uncovering the little creepy crawlers. Pray tell, what do they look like and how do they get in your bed with you? Much easier to get a wifey in bed with you, and a lot more fun to be bitten by, I would imagine, if I were a man, which I would prefer over a bug biting me, any day....... I am way off track, but you got my attention!! Hope you suffer no lasting hardship from this latest gardening discovery, bite and all????

Oh dear. How dreadful!
I'm thankful to say that I have YET to discover a roach in or anywhere near my house. One might just have the same effect on me as it did you!

We call them waterbugs. They are actually quite harmless. We used to dissect them in biology class. My wife screams when she sees a spider or bee. I just kill it or let it outside.

To me, it's big, it's a bug, and it scuttles and runs at me on dry ground!! I scream. Water bug, wood roach, it still creeps me out.
I helped by big brother's family move to Dickinson, Texas, when he got a job with NASA, back in 1976. The realtor warned us, the woodroaches move into homes when people move out and those big bugs were everywhere. And they
did jump at us.
My s-i-l has become quite adept at hand swatting them over the years. In '76, I had that nice high blood curdling scream, and so did my s-i-l! The roaches would jump at us out of floral arrangements, off walls, out of drawers, even when chewing their way into the sack of potatoes and not liking our interrupting their feast! My brother was heard to mutter, "If I hear one more female scream around here, I swear I'll........."
They had to call exterminators and the problem was eradicated or at least while they lived there. I remember sleeping on the floor, waiting for the moving van to arrive with real beds, and hearing those things scuttling through the stuff on the floor, where I was trying to sleep. It still gives me the willies!
Thanks for leaving your comments, PF. Trying to catch up on my reading and resting up from my journeys.

LOL, YPunday!
Coexist ,
we must, but it doesn't mean I won't squawk and run the other way, especially if perceived as "danger, danger, will smith." (Lost in Space, Robot) (Even though the "roaches" may be harmless, just creepy.) Or if we're lucky, those will only be styrofoam stones they're throwing at our heads. (
Lost in Space, fake rocks.)
Oh BTW, it really wasn't a negligee, in all fairness. It was my late mum's favorite floral and lace cotton nightie.
Thanks for reading my perilous story.
You inspired a blog. I will post it under my "Inheritance" site!

Those big ones are not called roaches...
They're called water bugs.

Get whatever YOU wish:ROACHES fr ceemarie.Pics of her in neglige&roaches
STORY to go with all of this fun-filled approach with some serious issues to boot. If you cannot coexist with roaches, we have little chance of coexistence with bad human beings--we call our enemies roaches, don't we? The Rwandan killers did!! Shalom and thanks for this great contribution, Ceemarie
