Did you have to go and get disgusting with roaches???? FLYING ones are the worst!!!! As a kid we had them in our house really really bad as the area was not developed yet!! I can remember hearing them fly across my room and splat as they landed on another wall. It traumatized me for life and now I had just rid myself of those memories and you bring up the flying bit!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish you could, but I am sure the border patrol would have a problem with that.

We have to send presents unwrapped because chances are they will be opened at the border anyway

Thanks though....:wink5:
