LOL LOL yes!!! I AM laughing- I was laughing at the subject line and I didn't

even know what you were talking about. I've never seen any crabs running around

here; we do have foot long lizards and grasshoppers as big as helicopters that

come out once a year. Now a REAL Floridian would " reroute " those little puppies

right into a lobster pot and fill it with boiling water. Are you near the St.

john's River? We used to go over there from daytona all the time to feast on

crabs. Maybe you could capture them and take them to one of the distribution

sites. People would be very happy. These poor little crabs probably had the

roofs blown off of their houses and alot of flooding LOL. They're just trying to

get back home. You go to the grocery and buy some " crab boil " spices and you'll

be in heaven; I think I still owe you an email about VB right? I haven't been

able to move till today. More later. enjoy!!! mmmmmmmmmmm :-)))

Hi Laurie,

Bless your heart for lots of things going on, like there is nothing

else to add in your life. Sounds like front door service to me, free

dinner, just kidding. Any luck finding a fisherman? Are your mom's

neighbors experiencing the same thing? The cats are probably

inviting everyone to your moms house, what a soft heart you have.

Got to go, hope Sherry or anyone else have an answer.

Take care,

Irma

Well,have named the kitten Fran after the hurricane and she thinks Im

her mother much to the other 3 cats dismay and have been outside shooing

the crabs around with a broom much to the neighbors laughter I had a

quite a crowd laughing at me.They are seeing them too just not 50 at a

time.They have one big pincher on them and look dangerous Im not picking

them up.the cats are having quite a time looking out the window too.We

have those big lizards they get in sometimes I find them in 1/2 the cats

eat the back ends off.Also those big palamento bugs that look like huge

flying cockroaches.The cats eat them too.I am having quite the

experience of a lifetime down here.I know Im in the " TWLIGHT ZONE " Love

Hi laurie, I just asked our OT who goes up to sebastian Inlet for surfing about

the crabs and he said they migrate once in awhile and they absolutely cover the

entire highway and you just drive along crunching over them. YUK. He also said

they're like mutant crustaceans or something because they have one great big

claw and one little one. Sounds like that's what you've got. Yes, don't you LOVE

our giant flying palmetto bugs?? that's just a Florida euphemism for giant

cockroach. They are predicted to remain on the planet long after life as we know

it is gone. And the cool thing about the lizards is you can cut off their tails

and they grow back....but first they wiggle and hop around by themselves for

awhile. Ah paradise!!! Looks like

all you are lacking is Bubonic plague up there. The kitties must be having a

ball.

What do those palemento bugs eat Ive only seen 3 or 4 of them never in

the kitchen?The cats make quick work of them the neighbor says everyody

has them once in awhile I only noticed them after the hurricane. All

these creepy crawly things are looking for shelter. That must be what

those crabs are I wish they would mgrate over to the neighbors house.

<<What do those palemento bugs eat Ive only seen 3 or 4 of them never in

Well, the real test is to go into your dark kitchen at 4:00AM and turn the

lights on; you may be surprised. Actually they eat anything...glue, cardboard,

just anything; that is why they are nearly impossible to totally be rid of. They

will be in old boxes of stored items subsisting on who knows what.They also

gather around palm trees so if a palm tree is uprooted or moved they will come

out by the hordes. Cats are really good things to have- keeps the population

down. You're not planning to go back to NY any earlier are you? We all have

disgusting palmetto bug stories down here....like when you're leaning over the

sink to brush your teeth and these two long antennae poke out the drain right in

front of you, the one at the front of the sink. You don't really want to hear

any more do you?=) Believe me it has little to do with how " clean " your house

is.

We keep about 3-4 75 cent flyswatters handy and have duels. Jim and I act out

scenes from crime dramas. These bugs are the main reson women stay married in

Florida. it is nearly impossible not to scream hysterically and jump up and down

and yell " HONEY!!!!! HELP!!! " no matter how liberated you think you are. And

husbands get to feel really macho like they've staved off a grizzly bear at the

front door or something. Unfortunately nobody wants to pick them up after they

stop wiggling because they are SO huge and you just know they're gonna start

moving again. I advise flushing them.

Thanks Sherry youve had me laughing all day.Ill have nightmares about

these crawly things.And I lived down here 20 years ago we always had an

exterminator every 2 or 3 months back then.Cant do that now because my

mom has a lung disease.If the doc says my mom can travel sept 29th we

are heading back no matter how hard she fights me.Her bones were

fracturing due to steriods but we seem to have control over that now, is

so hard when your the kid and have to finally put your foot down with

your elderly sick parents I have guilt.If its up to her I will never go

home to my family and my dh has been thru enough not to mention Mic has

no mother. Her choices are a nursing home, hospice house or me,they tell

me if I left the state would come in and take over and Im sure she

doesnt want that. Am I venting or what. Thanks for the laughter I needed

it badly, we will survive this too. Love Laurie
