And do cockroaches fly? I'd always wondered, since I only ever see them crawling on toothbrushes, sitting in shoes, or swimming in the toilet. The answer to this no-longer-eternal question, I just learned, is a resounding yes. I think I just had a small heart attack. And now I face a death-or-death dilemma: do I close the windows and get cancer in 20 years from toxic Raid fumes, or do I leave them open and risk sudden cardiac arrest? I'm leaning towards cancer...
(And yes, there was gasping, uncontrollable shaking, and screaming involved.)

About Me
- Gina
- Baltimore, hon!, MD
- Hi my name is Gina. I like a lot of things. You will find them listed below, in alphabetical order for lack of a better order, mostly for my own web-surfing convenience. I also like my family, my friends, emotionally unavailable men, visiting people in far away places, taking pictures, dogs, my cats, sandwiches, long walks, Central Wisconsin, buying things on Ebay, reading books very very slowly, stressing myself out to the point of developing sleep and digestive disorders, and pilates.

dude- get some screens from a crappy neighborhood hardware store- or better yet- bed bath and beyond.... they will save your life by preventing heart attack and releasing noxious fumes. and they come in all sorts of fun sizes.
oh yeah, i forgot i had a screen. i always keep it up because it has a giant hole in it. that is a very good idea though. seriously didn't even cross my mind. (surprising, i know)
there aren't really hardware stores by you so much, but there are a few uptown so i see them a lil more often... but just a warning, some still might manage to get in... i have screens, but woke up to go to the bathroom and almost put my foot on one (and thankfully the only one i've seen). thankfully mr. boyfriend was here and i delegated the task of extermination to him. he flushed it, though after learning that they often survive a trip to the ny sewer system, im afraid its gonna crawl up my butt.
