COLD DARK ROOM

[Tidgy's Dad]

If it was one of those big 3 inch long guys, then maybe it was a palmetto bug? We get those here, too. They don't carry diseases like the cockroaches do. They don't bother me, but I know a lot of people can't stand them.
Would your red foots eat it?

I have eaten cockroach.
Quite yummy.
Good morning, Bea.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

But Tidgy belongs to Olli! You may need to keep an eye on her, Adam...

She's a terrible flirt.
She was making eyes at a sulcata,recently, too.

99p! Holiday Cheer doesn't have to be expensive

Hello, Adam!

I would spend a lot of 99ps to give people holiday cheer!

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Yep had a cup off coffee with a little cream and sugar. Feel wide awake

I think i'm on my fourth coffee.
Half awake, which is about as good as it gets.

Hi.

I'm new to this thread, but I won't lie, I've eavesdropped on your conversations a time or two. You all seem like good friends.

Could you use one more?

A little about me:
I'm in Pittsburgh,PA USA. I've got 4 adorable torts that I love fiercely.

I'm a physician (for humans) with speciality in Women's Imaging.

I would love to get to know you guys better.

Thanks,
Shaifali

Welcome!!! There's always room for more in the CDR!

Thank for what you do!!
I'm 47 and have been getting mammograms since 2000.
I'm excited because this year I'm getting a 3D! I lost my mom so this is very important to me.
Gosh, I hope this is what you do! I just assumed.

Yes. Bea. a palmetto bug.
We have those and the NOT AS CREEPY Cuban "deaths head" roaches. they are very large, also but not so fast moving. It's true that palmetto bugs don't carry illness, but they are very fast and disgusting.
Do you get Hurricane beetles there? (Flying water beetles.) They are larger still. Bite and can survive a car running over them. Forget about bug spray! Use a handgun.

Good morning, Bea.

I'd like to say that i have not. However, I've eaten a lot of good old American hot dogs...............

I just found out that men also get and die from breast cancer.

Good morning, Kathy!

Will the real Kathy please stand up?

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

I must say, i do like hot dogs.
I don't much care what's in 'em, best not to think about it.
But they're very yummy.

 

[Tidgy's Dad]

Will the real Kathy please stand up?

We have two.
Mustn't forget our occasional and very welcome visitor @kathyth
Hi, Kathy!

 

[ZEROPILOT]

The thing about a palmetto bug is that they are creepy and fast and one clawing on your back, trying to crawl under you as you sleep is an act of war as far as I'm concerned. Spraying and baiting of the garage and doors and windows are in order.

We agree 100% then on hot dogs.
Grilled. Not boiled?

Now I see why wifey keeps you

Haven't eaten roaches, but a fermented grasshopper was quite yummy, to borrow Adam's phrase. And I was naive enough to share with my 9-year-old students that I ate dog and horse meat too. (This is in Turkey where many people think even sushi is crazy.) They gave me strange glances ever since... Never found out why.

I prefer grilled, but boiled's fine too.

Not too keen on dog, but horse is yummy.
Fried locusts are really delicious!!!!
And I don't like sushi, give me sea cucumber anytime.

My friend from the Philippines says "Dog is man's most delicious friend".
He raves about a dog recipe with raisins. I told him "That's disgusting!! I HATE raisins!"
He didn't get the joke.

Sushi, Sashimi and a lot of other Japanese food is among some of my favorites.
Though there isn't much that's truly authentic here and it costs a small fortune when it is.

 

[ZEROPILOT]

I think I would truly starve to death before I knowingly ate a dog.
Funny how deep cultural hang ups can get.
