Cockroaches...Egyptian Cockroaches!!!
Sorry to gross many of you out...but I needed to vent after having just come from Egypt and having a few horrific encounters with some. That's actually one of the reasons that would deter me from living there again *: . I don't think I've ever seen a cockroach in the States? Are they only Egyptian? lol...
What's been your experience like? Seen any flying ones or are those just rumors?!
What's your favorite method of combat? shebsheb or getting your younger brother to yetsaraf, lol...
Let us reminsce... :D

Subhan Allah...
what an interesting reminder that the saraseer beysabiho le rabena.....sa7 fe3lan since the aya says "yosabe7o lelah ma fel samawat wa ma fel ard"!!!
(Everything in the sky and on earth praises Allah)...
Hmm...I think I'm starting to like them better than before :):):)
(just a "little bit", don't wanna get carried away here) lol..
Gazaki Allahu khayran for this nice perspective :)
my dad worked in insect control for Johnson Wax too, and he said something about mating and whatnot.
still, who knows, the story could be wrong, but the idea of the beetle being the only familia form in Egypt from Pharoahnic times was from the Egyptian Musuem in Cairo. =) allahu a3lam, momken akon ghalat
but i swear, american rats and florida flying cockroaches are the worst thing i've seen....lol
And life with cockroaches, dogs running after you, and flies, and mosquitos..win in my book over life without them.... they add so much to life and make it much more richer :):) (I'm not saying I want to live with cockroaches, :D lol, hope people understand what I'm trying to say) :). It's just that everything here is so nice and easy and clean....to a suffocating degree :)
Re: "Lizards are not that bad"- I agree with that... until you've seen someone take a shibshib to one. ewww.
Anyway.. Florida also has its fair share of cockroaches, at least in the part where I was.
Back to cockroaches...
So I was in an elevator in a nice apartment building where I didn't expect I would encounter one...it was a small one but still it didn't keep me from releasing some screaming-like sounds :) I told myself...calm down MuslimaEgyptian...just press the button, it will be a few minutes and I'll be outa there. As I was telling myself that, walahi the little thing crawls right up to the floor number I needed to press!!!!!!!!! Thank God for cleenex, it helped saved the day as I used it to press the button. Sometimes a thought crosses my mind....Ya tara howa lesa 3ayesh fel elevator? (H)
