I hate it when people post just to post.....

....like when clearly the post has no relevance or adds no value to the OP's question or concern.

Like this:

OP Question: I am having trouble finding a good fish recipe I like...can anyone help?

Response: I hate fish! Fish makes me gag!

Can someone explain the purpose of this? I mean, if you don't like fish, then why dont you just move on to the next thread? Who really cares what makes you gag or not gag???? I know I don't.

  • I'm having a very hard time understanding why three out of four guinea pigs have the first letter of their name capitalized, but the fourth one (cuddles), has the first letter of its name in lower cas

  • well, i respectfully disagree. I don't think its acceptable to do it. I strongly dont think that its ok to do it, and i do not think that someone who's doctor didnt tell them about PB's who comes here

They're not palomino bugs are they, they're kind of like flying cockroaches, are they the same thing as love bugs?

We have black flies which bite and then you get mosquitoes which bite and then they die when it gets cold! I could deal with a bug that flew as long as it didn't bite or sting!

I thought sh&^t on a shingle was creamed dried beef on toast!

And someone tell me what a gosh darn love bug is or I'll feel like I'm a poster on your ignore list and I'll :thumbup:

I think the whole love bug thing is, like, a big cloud of swarming gnats. Is that accurate, Susan or ATD?

What you're calling a palomino bug, I think we in the south call a "junebug". Big flying crunchy bug that will creep you the eff out if they land on you. Junebugs are also great for rendering a windshield opaque with bug guts.

All I know is I went from a slummy cockroach infested apartment to a Myrtle Beach condo for a week one year and I was there by myself and all of a sudden a flying cockroach appeared! I was mortified! The only time I've ever seen one since. Someone called them palomino (sp) bugs.

In MD we have gnats but up north you get black fies which are a little bigger than a gnat but they bite! Don't like them and neither do the dogs!:thumbup:

First, Happy 4th of July Everyone!! :thumbup:

Next, let the resident Floridian set everyone straight on love bugs, palmetto bugs and roaches. They are all one of the joys that comes with living in Florida.

Love bugs are a bit annoying, but tolerable. They are small black bugs that only have a lifespan of about 24 hours. Now, there is a very specific reason they are called love bugs. They spend their entire life span flying around hooked up with another love bug. Yes, their only purpose in life is to fly through the air, hooked up with another love bug, have constant sex and die. If you are only going to live 24 hours, not a bad way to spend it, eh? :eek:

Now, roaches, in the traditional sense of say, New York City dirty apartment German cockroaches are not real common here in Florida. Usually, you see them in places that are really dirty. However, we get the huge, nasty versions of them, which many people do refer to as palmetto bugs. To me, they are all roaches and they all MUST DIE!!!. Especially the flying ones. Those disgusting things just come out of nowhere and seem to like to aim right for you just to completely freak you out. It is lovely when you open your door at night and one just comes flying in. Yes, I hate the nasty buggers worse than anything, which is why I pay a lot of money to Bug Out to keep my home and yard free of them!

We do get the occasional June Bug here in Florida, but they are a totally different kind of bug than a roach.

To me, they are all roaches and they all MUST DIE!!!.

I agree! Roaches are my biggest fear (well...roaches AND rats). I don't know why I am scared of them so bad, probably because they are just plain nasty!!! UGH!

Susan,

I guess Palomino bugs are kind of like Palmetto but they have long white fur and fly, lol. I always get my horses and my bugs confused:lol: Either way cockroaches should not fly!

Happy Fourth of July EO!

OMG it's official - I have no life! I just read this entire thread. <panting, whew>

Now I get to post just to be posting - yippee!!!

Happy 4th - I heart the USA!!!

Susan, btw - gator tail sounds beyond disgusting! :-/
