I usually use half a can of Roach spray to "stun" them... then i try and lob a heavy object in the direction of the roach in the hopes of squishing it. I can't get close to them though, i like to keep at least half a rooms distance between me and the roach and i ALWAYS make sure i have an exit in case it comes running at me... which they usually do. Spiders send chills down my spine.. we have some that make their nests in the trees and powerlines outside, i hate trimming the bushes because im scared i might upset one and it'll come at me fangs and all... *shudder*..
The worst thing is the feeling that lingers after an encounter with a roach or spider... You know when if something touches you slightly you jump 5 ft in the air and usually run off screaming then wondering what the hell just touched you...

Oh and Vail... I when you said that you only know they're dead when you see their guts spewing out of their head and abdomen... two words TERMINATOR TWO!!!!! Ok so maybe that is very unlikely to happen but they don't call this an "unnatural" phobia for nothing lol.

Oh god.... don't scare me like that. Roaches are my biggest phobia.... especially the flying ones... I can't even get close enough to squish them with my shoe even when they are face up and "lifeless"..... Isn't there some fact that they can survive 7 days or something without their heads attatched? Or did someone make that up to scare me?.

My Doctor told me once that unless I really feel I need it, DON"T TAKE THE SHOT!!! The older you get, the more harmful it may be, even cause death!!

Soy, I took allergy shots for years, I was the human pin coushin. My fiends used to come over just to watch me take a shot, which did not bother me, I was used to a needle few times a week. I would not have to pay for it where I work, but I'll take my chances, too many reactions to the shot this year. NO WAY!
