I can't even walk down stairs that are next to a "down" escalators! My husband thinks I'm a fruit loop! The worst think is I know where it comes from - do any of you "over 25" (cough cough) geeks remember the adverts for escalators in the 70's where the rag doll looses its head? It was a down escalator - need I say more!

cockroaches.
Ok, I grew up in a nice lil bungalow in the suburbs. Nice place with a finished basement. IMMACULATE house between my mother's housekeeping and my father keeping us busy by making us do more even if it didn't need to be done (ok, he was crackers, he fought in vietnam and well.. should have been left there)
Anywayyyyyyyyyyyyy
I got a job.. blah blah.. Moved into the city into a cheap apartment building.
Not the worst part of town, but not the best neither.
One night I'm watching tv
w/my then boyfriend (now hubby) and we get up and head off to bed. I throw on the light and start getting ready for bed. Hubby says "Dont' look" Well, of course I turned around to see what the problem was. I asked 'what's up'. He points at a bug on a wall. I said "ahh that's just some beetle. I'm not afraid of bugs"
He looks at me stunned......... "Vic... do you not realize what this is?"
"yeah, a beetle, if it bugs you that much, squish it."
"Vic....... it's not a beetle".
"Then what is it?"
.................................... "A cockroach"
:Scared: :Scared:
I shrieked and said 'no way, they're way bigger than that and MY HOUSE IS CLEAN!!!!!".
He says "vic, you're thinking of the movies and of african cockroaches or the ones in the states. Canada has small ones and it does't matter if your APARTMENT is clean if your neighbor's isn't"
I started crying. Never seen one before, never knew we had them in Canada. (yes, I'm blonde, now shut up already LOL)
He says to me "don't worry, the only come out in the dark".
Guess what 25 yr old woman went to bed with a lamp on beside her bed for a week until the owners of the building took care of the problem?
Guess what 25yr old woman paid her friend a fortune to go through all her cupboards etc look for these critters and dispose of them and then ran screaming from the kitchen when one scurried away from the bucket of dogfood?
Guess what 25yr old woman tossed out tonnes of food that was not in airtight containers like tupperware or jars or cans? (boxes and bags went IN the garbage)
Guess what 25yr old woman wrapped all her dishes that wren't used on a daily basis in saran wrap? (and still leave my wineglasses and other serving platters wrapped in that today)
yes, you guessed it.
Me, I'm the idiot that freaked out.
And i still store ALL my food in air tight containers. The bag the chips came in? Not good enough. That must be sealed in a ziplock or tupperware.
The oreo cookies? Emptied into a tupperware. Pasta? Leave it in the box? HELL NO! Into nice fancy jars that goes.
Doggie cookies in a box? Nope, into a tupperware too.
Yes
Cockroaches scare the P**s outta me. LOL
