(Notice I am not saying anything about live beasts - I'm sure nothing's changed there.) Good on ya for taking on the cockroach tasks for your XO. I'm sure M will be relieved (?) to know he's not the only one on cockroach duty. I don't know if the big bush cockroaches would scare me as much but I'm sure I don't want to find out...<br /><br />Lucy, Baubles is the only one in our household who is completely indifferent to cockroaches - and by completely, I mean completely. M and I will be in a complete state when we get invaded, and Baubles will just sit there quite unperturbed. It's very strange and very aggravating because she is quite dependable when it comes to crickets, moths, slaters and other bugs - all the insects that I don't mind at all, she EATS.
