If you have nothing better to do

Wednesday, January 29, 2003 by Keila | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Ok, I will admit that I am really bored right now.
I went to this site and you really see nothing but the bugs
Keila lived in Texas and hates roaches.
Any way if you want them to move just keep refreshing. Now that does not work either so. Keep the screen centered where you want and keep your cursor out of the way so it will not flutter around, print screen, paste, then go back and refresh. Do this several times and save it as a gif or I just previewed it in animation shop.
Yuck!
Any way off to fine something less gross to do.
Oh yah, the site.

We used to call the big ones "BUBBAS" I think they are really called water bugs. Thank God they stayed outdoors for the most part unless one got by the door.
My first night in Texas one knocked on the door to try to introduce it self. Never in my life had I shut a door so fast before.
My husband asked what was wrong and I replied "It's big and it wants to come in". I lived in fear for the next 6 1/2 years.

I've seen them in Florida...
I was visiting a friend and one went walking across the living room floor.
He hit hard with a shoe, the thing stopped briefly, looked up at him, gave him an evil look
and kept on scuttling across the floor.
Didn't faze the thing at all...

Roaches can survive just about anything right?

Hi Keila, after some shuteye today from my 15hr marathon of trying to figure out why I could'nt post here, and after I hauled in more firewood, I tried ZA again after making some adjustments,-lo and behold, it works. Zone Alarm the freebie does work on this site after all. It just needed some tweaking.
I am still a little groggy, but I read your answer in "another test". Have to say I have never been there, but I too have lived in Texas and liked it.

Now this is a surprise, I placed a post here a minute ago using Zone Alarm the freebie meticulously tweaked, and I actually saw it. Now it is gone. I will try it again and see what happens.
Read your reply, must say I have never been there, but I too have lived in Texas, and indeed I've seen manya them thar roachees.

My gram told me about Flordia. They have spiders that if you smash them, their babies just go everywhere. Like hundreds of them. I don't know what I would do in that case.

Weaksid: the spiders are like that in Texas too...it's quite a surprise the first time you see it.
