COCKROACHES!!! Years ago, we stripped all of the wallpaper and paint off the walls of our old home. It was in late summer and very hot outside. The house is old and there were layers and layers of paint and wallpaper. We had the windows open for ventilation and we attracted the largest cockroaches I have ever seen. Apparently they love glue and we had certainly stirred up the old glue on the wallpaper.

These guys (two) definitely needed saddles..they were huge!

Where do they come from? YUCK!!

And they just sit there like they are saying "I will be around long after you are gone, Honey!!
ICK!! I just got the creepy crawlies reading this! LOL Count me in on this one. Bugs and spiders too!
Anna, your story made me chuckle, but I know it probably wasn't funny at the time! LOL Looking back on situations like this at least seems funny after the fact, right? LOL LOL
I'll never forget the time I went up to bed when I was in junior high. It was springtime in Indiana, so all the bugs were starting to come out. Anyway, I pulled back my bedsheets...and there...smack in the middle of my bed was the largest garden spider I had ever seen!! ICK! YUK! EWE!!! I screamed and ran to get my dad to get it off of there. Of course, when we got back to my room...it was gone! I couldn't sleep in my room that night because I knew it was in there somewhere, and I was terrified about it crawling on me!
Oh, and just last night, hubby and I were watching TV and he started fussing, and it turns out there was a spider crawling up his arm...and it bit him!!! Ugh!!! How rude, huh??? eek!
