Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Dana, honey, you live in Houston. Home of the Motherfuckinghugegoddamnfuckingflying roaches.

I know, I lived in the land of all that minus flying. Manhole covers used to scatter alarmingly at dusk in my river valley.

And I screeched and ran.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There was a large dead roach in my work bathroom all afternoon. Better than a large live roach, I guess!

Also, I got a phone call today from a number I didn't recognize, so I didn't answer, and the person didn't leave a message. So of course I googled the number, and found it was a friend of mine calling from work! Luckily, she just sent me an email.

Our wings are not tired.

My mother hates the phone too, this is one of the reasons I love Mom. She also hates the computer, but her DH reads my emails to her and types her responses. He's a doll. MIL loves the phone and will say to me a dozen times in the conversation, "oh, I know you don't like the phone," but does she hang up, no.

Because books.

I love talking on the phone. And I would love texting if I was better at it. I think I need a phone with a qwerty keyboard. I'm so slow at it, it's simply annoying otherwise.

I feel your big ugly bug pain, Dana. I would run screaming when I first moved here. 28 years later I just kill 'em dead with whatever is handy.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
