From cold-blooded murderer to.....

[C.Ann]

serial killer!!!!!

Came home from my DD's a little while ago and there were MORE boxelder bugs on the house.. Not nearly as many as before, but I won't be happy until I have slaughtered every single, solitary one of them..

I let 'em have it again - full blast..

Guess I better go buy some more dish liquid - or there won't be any left to do the dishes with!

Don't want to sound stupid but what on earth is a boxelder bug?

 

[lynxstch]

could you elaborate?

If you don't stop this behavior, someone will be starting a thread about your conduct on the Debate Board !!! You have been warned .

I can see the topic now : do we have the right to murder creatures who inconvenience us?

If I found a bug like this in my home I'm certain it would be eliminated too!!!

I checked out the website. YIKES

I would like to amend the topic to read: Do we have the right to murder creatures who completely creep us out?

I just realized that this is the critter that last year was on the back of my mother in laws residence.....I am not talking ONE but thousands.....we called the critter control.....actually the county extenstion center from the University and they told us how to rid them.....and we did.....with diazanon

If they come back again, dish liquid and hot water in a sprayer that attaches to your hose will work just as well and you don't have to worry about pesticides.. I have never used the diazanon because of our dog (who is no longer with us) and my outdoor/indoor cat..

And I know ALL about "thousands" of them.. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I must say I am most upset. What about the children as was mentione. You will be killing all the Mum's and Dad's and the little one's will be left on their own. Are you also killing off the Grandparents as well???? I really think this needs to go to the debate board so you can come to your senses.

Yeah but...I was adopted...I came from a broken home...I was abused as a child...I'm a single Mom....I have a drug and alcohol problem..I was never able to graduate from high school...I was traumatized severely as a teen when I wasn't allowed to attend my senior prom....My parents "worked" ALL the time...My Mom wasn't a stay-at-home Mom.. Oh wait a minute - yes she was..that's when she started drinking and abusing me..My dog died..My cat is suffering from old age and I can't handle it emotionally.."Tigger" touched me inappropriately when I was in Disney World.....AND, as a 9-year-old I was handcuffed and dragged off to jail for stealing a bunny rabbit!

Surely, under these extenuating circumstances, you could find your way clear to see that I am the "victim" here..

 

[tigercat]

Okay okay I would think that one of those "excuses" would be okay but ALL of them??? I know I know "you are the victim" (and boy are you a victim) so I guess we should go light on you so we will forget about the indignation about the Grandparents but the children????
