I feel exactly like a steamed dumpling. It is not very nice. Even though I have been at work for a couple of hours, in the air conditioning (and believe me when I tell you that the air conditioning was the ONLY reason I was able to haul my soggy bones to work this morning), I still feel like a sad leftover steamed dumpling that someone tossed in the fridge. Oh free me from my waxy takeout container and end this misery.

well...maybe you do ;)

I LIVE IN MAKAHA VALLEY. I LIVE IN A UNDEVELOPED PRIVATE ESTATE WITH ABOUT 50 LOTS FULL OF HIGH GRASS. WE HAVE BEEN BATTLEING THESE MONSTERS FOR 17 YEARS. THEY USED TO COME IN THRUE OUR AWNING WINDOWS. I MEAN 6 TO 7 INCHERS. I GOT BITTEN BY ONE YEARS AGO . MAN WHAT PAIN. IT WENT FOR A RIFDE IN THE GARBAGE DISPOSAL. AFTER CAUCKING ALL MY WINDAWS I NOOW STILL GRT THEM INSIDE THE HOUSE. THEY COME IN THROUGH THE 8 FOOT GLASS SLIDERS. IT ONLY TAKES 1/8 OF AN INCH TO GET IN. MY WIFE WAS SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR 3 WEEKS AGO WITH THE DOORS OPEN AND GET HIT BY A 5 INCH PLUS RIGHT ON HER CHIN, ON HER FACE. BOY I COULD JUST FEEL HER PAIN. I CUT IT INTO PIECES AND IT STILL KEPT ON MOVING. THESE ARE DEVILS, JUST PLAIN DEVILS. THEY WILL GO FOR ANY KIND OF LIGHT. I THOUGHT THEY HAD BAD EYES. I HAVE DONE SOOOOOOO MUCH RESEARCH ON THESE BASTARDS. I KNOW THAT THEY GO BY SCENT GLANDS. I FOUND THIS OUT BY ACCIDENT. I SPRAY UNSER MY HOUSE AND AROUND THE YARD AND ALSO USE THE GRANDULES. NOW SINCE WE HAVE CAULKED THE WINDOWS WE STILL GET THEM IN BUT NOT THE SUPER FAT 6 INCHERS. THEY ARE LONG BUT NOT DEVELOPED. I PRAY EVERYDAY THAT MY WIFE AND I BE PROTECTED FROM THESE BEAST. THE EMPTY LOTS ATRE THE PROBLEMS. I LIVE IN A 2 STORY HOUSE, I CAN ONLY IMAGINE PEOPLE WITH 1 STORY HOUSES. CAN ANYONE HELP US WITH SUGGESTIONS. I HAVE EVEN PUT GREASE INFRONT OF MY FRONT AND REAR DOORS, THINKING THAT THEY WOULD NOT LIKE THE SMELL. NO WAY DID THAT WORK. THIS MORNING I FOUND ONE IN THE KITCHEN DEAD FROM THE PRAY THAT I USE ON THE SUNDECKS. PLEASE EMAIL ME: boykoalley@yahoo.com mahalo very much!
