Squash you like a....

I was in the car driving home this afternoon, and heard a rustling noise coming from the backseat on the passenger side. I turned around and I saw a roach on top of a magazine Brandon had left in the car. EWWW!!! You all know about my fear of frogs, but I don't think I've mentioned how much I hate cockroaches. I can't stand them, especially that crunchy noise their bodies make when they are squashed. I have no idea how it got there, but I had to get it out ASAP. Fortunately I was near my dad's job, so I got off the highway and called him to please come out to the parking lot. He was laughing at me when I told him what I need him for, but he looked for it and killed it for me.
Anyway, I just did a search on roaches, and found out they can go without water for a month, and without eating for up to 3 months. Ugh, that means the roach could have been living in my car for days, even weeks! Ewww!!
Thankfully, I also found out how I can decrease their visits inside my home. We get a visitor every so often, and they are always in our bathroom. We have a drippy shower tap. Do you see where this is going? Yup, we're fixing that, like, NOW!

My sister got one on her leg once and no matter how much she shook it, it wouldn't come off. Eeeek!

That's why I just flick them off if one ever gets on me.
