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.
