33 years in FL and I still run from palmetto bugs. nm

What does a palmetto bug look like?
Remember potato bugs? Those things with the giant heads? Totally harmless, but EEEWWWWW !!!! I haven't seen one of those since I was a kid. Do they still exist? Do they come from potatoes?
kids flying alone.
The airlines do charge an extra fee for kids under 12 flying alone. The flight attendants are supposed to walk them off the plane to the person waiting for them, check that person's ID and get a signature. My son flew alone once and he said his flight attendant gave him strict instructions when the plane landed to wait until everyone else got off the plane and she came and got him.
Afraid of flying. Haven't been on a plane since 1995.
But I'm an outdoor girl. I sleep out in the woods a lot and don't mind bugs, snakes, bears, or sounds in the night.
James and the Giant Peach
by Roald Dahl.....Also, another macbre piece came out when my boys were young in the late 80's early 90's....The Thief of Always by Clive Barker....We had all the Little House on the Prarie books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, anything Mark Twain, Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway .....My mother's a teacher and we're all voracious readers...What wasn't in our library at home, I just went and roamed the stacks at the library....Most kids these days don't even know what the stacks are. War and Peas...(food fight!).... you crack me up Hayseed! Cat
My yard is a giant puddle.
It squishes like a wet carpet when you walk on it. I can't wait for spring! If those stoooopid squirrels will stop digging up my bulbs, the gardens are going to look great this year.
Born in the south, raised in the south, still live here and WHAT?
I do not love fats and butter, never. South Georgia is about as southern as you can get. I do not want to clog my arteries and eat organic as much as I can. You cannot speak for everyone, only yourself.
I live in the south and here a few miles south of Atlanta
it is around 14 this morning. I had to go out but layered clothes, put on socks for a change, headgear and even gloves and have a really good coat with hood but fur on the inside so I was cozy. Supposedly even colder tomorrow.
Memoirs of a Geisha, House of Flying Daggers, Under the Tuscan Sun...
And just about any Audrey Hepburn movie.
It's an oldie - 'THEM' - about giant ants.
I still think of them every time I drive past that part of the L.A. River near Griffith Park, and see those cave-like tunnels along the side......

There ain't no bugs on me! There ain't no bugs on me!
I just LOVE that puppy!!!
No GI bugs here, but a lot of flu
My husband and I both have/had the flu. I had the flu with bronchitis, and he had a different strain. We were both in bed Monday through Thursday althought I managed to squeak out a few hours of work every day. The doctor has me on two different types of medication, and so far they haven't done a thing. The doctor said there's flu with pneumonia, flu with bronchitis, viral flu, step, and mono going around (NY). It's awful, I've never been so sick.
You won't see the bugs, they only come out at night....
when you are sleeping.

Old timey Bugs Bunny or any of the Looney Tunes.

Bugs Funny, Cat! (eom)

Got one that bugs me every time -
I discussed this with she and her brother versus I discussed this with her and her brother.
At least the red bugs are dead..sm
It always freaked me out when they would say 'live cultures' when talking about yogurt. Little tiny alive things in my yogurt....AHHHHH!!!! LOL!! I still eat yogurt - oh well!
Bugs Bunny without a doubt . . . nm

Not sure about natural, but Bugs-B-Gone is what my husband uses.(nm)

yes but it bugs me when we call WOMEN

Per Survivorman-bugs, worms, anything dead and

Seriously, really, anyone have something that feels like bugs crawling inside their head
My husband, who is of very sound mind and no, not any psychiatric problems, got both feet on the ground, has told me to find a neurologist (another physician told him to do this). Hubs drive a truck and he has been telling me the strangest feelings, almost worm-like feeling that sorta snakes down 1 side, he rubs intensely and gets it to stop (I think) and then sometimes can be on the other side. Has anyone ever heard of something similar or have you had yourself. I am making him an appointment today but this is not the ordinary thing I type even though been at this for quite some time with the 4s. Thanks.
you mean stomach bugs? Lots of sick folks

Bunny borsch, rabbit stew and Bugs pot pie.
: )
"Oh Snap!" kind of bugs me but then I remember I'm getting older :-) (sm)
I am sure every generation has little catchy phrases like that which the older generations don't like. But I thought about the "Oh Snap" thing and really they aren't saying anything bad, so I guess it's okay and I'm just getting older!
South here too...but
nm
Hey ya all, I am from the south so
I am heading west. I loved visiting California also. I just love my traveling though, bitten by the bug years ago
Same here. I'm from the South, too. nm

3.39 here in south AL n/m

I'm further south than you
Down here near Albany, GA and FREEZING! Worst part is we don't have heat in our house, just little room heaters.
One trick I learned from my gram, turn the oven on and leave the door open a little. Don't leave it on long though or your electric bill will go up! But if you need to knock the cold off the kitchen that will do the trick.
I wish I had one of those snuggles blankets I keep seeing on TV!
Not just in the south.
I had a friend in North Dakota who also did this.
Come to South MS, down here everyone....sm
talks like me basically. I never knew it until I went up north and then I was like OMG. I talk way different than these people. I thought I talked like anyone else. I was wrong.
opinion on the south
I was rasied in Fayetteville NC and Charleston SC being the army brat that I am - I have to say that Charleston is a great family town, lots of things for the family and kids - parks museums, forts etc. The schools are exceelent and I loved it. I still have family and friends there and it is just beutiful. Affordable too. Employment for the others in you home is veried as well.
In the south we would call that
trailer folk trash- just not accepted
I am just south of Reno...
I could meet you at Brew Brothers for a microbrew....or two....or three..... 
ENJOY!!
What part of the south are you in?
Where I live, deep south, women certainly go that. Do not put an overall blanket on each statement, especially about the south because we already have to live down what others think of the south.
Actually, no I cannot tell you live in the south because
I was raised here and have no idea what you are talking about. Cannibal- that sounds like UGH to me, big time and the other porkchop with all those trimmings. Never ever darling. By the way, what part of the south? South Florida??
Why would anyone think the south only likes
country?? Ugh. I have lived here all my life and I cannot stand it. My tastes are more opera, beautiful love sounds, Gershwin. I could not tell you 1 name of a country song. Please do not group us all together. Folks just making assumptions - again.
Say what, in the south we have double
names for males also, since when did you think it stopped at females?
Well, it's hot. I live in south MS, so it's hot.
And humid. But it's actually not as hot as some places up north!
I think I maybe just had not eaten much in the last few days. They don't let you give blood if you are anemic. I have been turned down many times because of that. I have to cut myself off of iced tea for a couple days then I'm usually okay to donate. I am just typing, had a latte, drinking some tea now, will eat some stuff in a while. Maybe I am tired, too, it's been a tad stressful around here recently. Maybe I will sleep tonight! That would be different. I should probably think about re-establishing my relationship with my Dr. since I finally do have ins. now.
yes, ma'am....where in south FL?
xx
Wow you must live in the south?
Never heard of jowl meat and hot water cornbread? I am a yankee so be nice...just never heard those foods before...sounds like a good time!
See how the south is slammed?
She says she is a yankee down below. Mother told me never to assume......
I am not slamming the south....just never
heard of any cooking like that anywhere else thats all. Was seriously interested in that type of food...always like to learn about new foods...please don't misunderstand and think I'm slamming anybody....just like the differences in all of us!
North/South
Doesn't matter what side we come from, we are all here for the same reason and by the same God. My grandfather used to tell me that the south did whatever they could to survive and the north had more money so they were technologically advanced and better educated. That changed a long time ago. I would say we are all pretty even now days. My husband is from Germany and lived in WI before coming here to the heart of the bible belt, and he still can't wrap his mind around sweat tea or cornbread. He says I'm eating cardboard. Just a thought..
hi there - I'm in south florida....sm
and due to the multi-multi ethnic groups here - MULTITUDES of different groups - we have it all in the supermarkets....
You never had chopped liver? Never eaten chicken livers and onions together just fried up? Never had chicken livers wrapped in bacon and then cooked? Ramaki's I think they are called (can't remember)....
The Argentinians I just read eat twice as much beef as Americans....not a good thing...*lol*
When I first moved to the south, I once saw this guy sm
mowing a lawn (up a steep hill) with short shorts, cowboy hat and cowboy boots. Obviously, the boots were slippery so he kept slipping and trying to dig his heels in the grass. I almost crashed from laughing so hard.
South Beach here.
I started South Beach just today since the New Year fell in the middle of the week. My husband and I have done it before and it really works pretty much effortlessly. I am working two jobs from 8:00 - 1:30 (Real Estate) and my transcription job from 2:00 - 10:30, so this seems to be the only way to lose weight for me given the fact that I have no free time or energy to exercise. We did it before last spring and the weight loss is quick and pretty painless once you get over the initial carb withdrawal. I would love some support and could offer some as well. You can e-mail me directly at mandie573@yahoo.com. Thanks and good luck.
Deep south - only hog I know is as in
pigs.
I'm south of that school sm
about 60 miles. Still in shock. It's all over the news down here. My thoughts are truly with the families.
