Strife

I can (and do) ignore just about anyone who just happens to live next to me, but I can’t do a damned thing about loud, unruly children. We’ve had them running around our driveway, throwing our rocks up into our palm tree to try and knock down the stupid drone they got stuck up in the fronds, ride their scooters all the way up to our door and proceed to smack our door with their scooter tires, run around our lawn and smack our plants around, turn on our water at the side of our house and use our hose to get into water fights.... 

Oh and the one kid who shoved his buddy into the street in front of my car as I was driving home from work, you bet your ass I pulled over and gave the entire lot of little heathens a stern talking to when that happened. Scared the shit out of me. 

I don’t like children anyway, but I fecking ******CANNOT STAND*********** other people’s damned unruly, undisciplined, rude ass children. 

Fight me.

Ooh, neat, thanks! Not sure what I did to deserve it, but I'll just try to do more of the same.

Roaches are so much more terrible than rats.

Here are ten of the most fascinating cockroach facts:

1. A cockroach can live for a week without its head. Due to their open circulatory system, and the fact that they breathe through little holes in each of their body segments, they are not dependent on the mouth or head to breathe. The roach only dies because without a mouth, it can't drink water and dies of thirst.
2. A cockroach can hold its breath for 40 minutes, and can even survive being submerged under water for half an hour. They hold their breath often to help regulate their loss of water.
3. Cockroaches can run up to three miles in an hour, which means they can spread germs and bacteria throughout a home very quickly.
4. Newborn German cockroaches become adults in as little as 36 days. In fact, the German cockroach is the most common of the cockroaches and has been implicated in outbreaks of illness and allergic reactions in many people.
5. A one-day-old baby cockroach, which is about the size of a speck of dust, can run almost as fast as its parents.
6. The American cockroach has shown a marked attraction to alcoholic beverages, especially beer. They are most likely attracted by the alcohol mixed with hops and sugar.
7. The world's largest roach (which lives in South America) is six inches long with a one-foot wingspan. Average cockroaches can vary in size from ½"- 2" long.
8. Cockroaches are believed to have originated more than 280 million years ago, in the Carboniferous era.
9. There are more than 4,000 species of cockroaches worldwide, including the most common species, the German cockroach, in addition to other common species, the brownbanded cockroach and American cockroach.
10. Because they are cold-blooded insects, cockroaches can live without food for one month, but will only survive one week without water.

Now I'm gonna go try not to have nightmares of giant roaches. lol 

I didn't watch Voyager when it was in its first run, but when I caught a few re-runs, I caught up and watched them all. Doc was one of my favs. And I remember originally thinking I'd hate the 7 of 9 character (obligatory flouncy well endowed blonde in a skin suit? Bitch pls), but to my surprise, I thought she ended up being a really good actress. Some of my favorite episodes were with her, and that one where she and Doc switched and the actors had to act like the other was great. heh

Anyway... >.>
