UGH!!!! :P
I remember those things! We had them in Fort Lauderdale. AWFUL!!! I'm so glad we don't have those Palmetto bugs up here. They make our cicadas look like fruit flies by comparison.
Yucky!!

Me too, Lynne. I just can't get my head around why innocent people have to suffer. It's so sad. Makes me realise, though, how very grateful I should be for all my blessings.
