An interesting tidbit or two

You may be grossed out by this, so don't read any farther than this here sentence.


Cockroaches enjoying snacking on tooth-whitening materials. I've been cleaning the cupboards under our sinks in the master bath. It hasn't been done in awhile. I really do not leave food lying around or throw our trash on the bathroom floor or anything.

I cleaned Jeff's cupboard and stemmed the potential hurling with a mantra of "Spread the filth. Spread the filth. Into the garbage bag. Into the garbage bag." I threw away years worth of old toothbrushes (you never know when you're going to need one for that random grout cleaning like I'm also doing right now), a couple of airline dop kits, which would have been cute if they didn't look like they'd emerged from the underworld and other "stuff". The cupboard looks much better now.

So, I went over to mine, which I had actually emptied not long ago. Not long ago means within the last year and a half. Lo and behold! Lo and behold. A tooth whitening kit that I'd forgotten about, unopened, had been gnoshed on and was spread in pretty little piles of pink and white and blue. Interspersed were dead cockroaches and roach "leavings". You know what they are. The only other thing in there were some lotion, a dead Ajax can and Lo and Behold! An old (I mean OLD) panty liner (UNUSED! Geez. Plus I'm old now, so you know how old it is.) that had fused to the cupboard floor. I did not know they could do that. Apparently if they escape their little packages the adhesive gets to know the paint and wood of its surroundings and falls in love. It brought back memories of those halcyon days of...never mind. They weren't all that halcyon.

On to the next grout attack. Fun in the sun, here.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have AMUSED me. You have amused ME. And you know how important that sort of thing is.

I'm sorry you had to break up the romance, but sometimes that's necessary for the future of, um, the future.

One must find one's outlet where one may. I'm so glad you are amused. Who knows what awaits when I get to the drawers. Cupboard drawers. Not drawers drawers. Although those are pretty gruesome, too.

I swear to God I'm cleaning out my walk in closet in the master
bedroom next week when Allen is out of town. I'm giving away most of the stuff.
I want new clothes anyway.

Sure didn't know roaches liked to eat stuff...wonder if the whitener eventually
led to their demise?

My kids have a four day weekend next weekend. What they don't realize is that they will be helping me clean out the garage for at least one of those days.
