I'm no photographer, but I think this is one of the cooler pictures I've taken so far this year..

I agree Steph...I think the nematode worms that parasitize humans and other animals are much worse than a little cockroach.

Here's the thing: our culture makes it seem normal to "hate" spiders, cockroaches, etc. but, there are SO many other things in life that we should dislike and try to fix. Here's an example: What is worse: a mosquitoe, a frog, a penguin...all of which are simply trying to live a succesful life or a 7th grade peer that says recycling is "gay" and anyone that cares about any life other than humans is a "treehugger"? I think these people need to be corrected, and you as a 13 yr old have a lot of influence on the way they think. Start using your power!

Nevermind, Mr. DeVoe! I have the stomach flu, which only lasts 1-3 days. I'm really happy! I looked up how to treat it, so I am fine. :)

Alen,

Hope you feel better!

Ugh, it's called Gastroenteritis, and it was in yesterday's Cornell Daily Sums newspaper. There is an article about where Ithaca is affected by this virus and how the vomiting and diarrhea dehydrates the body, so people infected need to drink plenty of fluids! It last 1-10 days, and I felt better already! :) Except, I am still contagious for about 3 more days, haha. Is it true that when someone has a virus, they are immune to it after it goes away? I hope so, I DO NOT want to get this disgusting virus again!!!

So, that's how you think of us, as pets. Well, then i guess we are to call you MASTER. Ha Ha Ha
I can't believe that my sister would put down such stupid, random stuff. LOL "I LIKE THE SMELL OF DEAD WORMS."LOL Stupid stuff.Sometimes she says stuff like that and I don't even know what she is saying. The frogs were not that bad today actually. All I had to do was get by that part that it was once living, then I can cut into it. I made a new friend today, she was my lab patner.

Cool, a dog! I'll give you a free pure breed black lab. My dad is moving so we are trying to find a home for his dog. It's 1 1/2 years old. His name is Chester.

P.S. He's only free to a good home. He is so sweet. It breaks my heart that he has to get rid of him.
