I.. have a fear of almost all bugs. I just flat out do not like them. The other night I saw a spider dash across the carpet and scared me so bad I was up on a chair since I had no idea what the heck it was

LOL, doesn't really roll off the tongue very easily though does it
Let's not talk about cockroaches and tongues in the same thread, okay?

Yep, I'm quite perplexed. Do you guys think they're cute or handsome or something? Because to me, they just look creepy. As for that picture of your daughter with a bug on her, let me just say, you would never catch me doing that. My wife and I recently went on vacation, and my wife actually volunteered to let the tour guide put a whiptail scorpion on her cheek. They're harmless to people, and my wife was fine with it, but again, despite the fact that I love to muck about in nature, you would never catch me doing that.

I don't think common spray will work on them though. Remember the I.R.S has plans to collect taxes after a nuclear war, just like cockroaches they will survivedalano73 said:Terry Allan Hall said:My only real fear is the IRS...
I guess they can be look at as pest...

Can they be looked upon as anything else?

Flame-thrower?

Flame throwers won't work on the IRS pests. They use the money we give them to buy flame proof suits.
GeoTerraTestudo said:Yeah, the IRS is a very dangerous pest all right. Very tricky to get rid of. I think they can smell fear.
Tom said:I have an irrational fear of being alone in water, even a pool. I just won't do it. Yet I'm advance scuba certified and even love night dives. I'll be the SECOND person off the boat, just not the first.
I used to be squeamish of cockroaches when I was a kid, but through gradual desensitization, I FORCED myself to get over my irrational fear of a harmless insect. The species at my childhood home was Blatta orientalis. I now have a captive colony of them and feed them to my beardies, tarantulas and other insectivores.
Stazz, Aren't dogs just the best thing ever? My little Jack Russel takes care of pest ground squirrels and rabbits for me the same way. I just point and say "get 'em", the same way as you. Come to think of it, my Malinois and Dutch Shepards do the same thing with "pesky" humans. I LOVE dogs.

John, you've ruined my perceptions. I always thought the "little Johnny" jokes were thinly veiled jabs at ME.
So Yvonne (BCS), I suppose that means you sending me a local roach pic for an ID is out of the question then, huh?
