Land Sperm
I saw a bug a few days ago, in my very own bathroom and it looked like a tadpole. It was black, and ran as fast as lightening. It got away from me (not that I wanted to make friends with it or something), but later my husband killed it while taking a dump and I am wondering...what the hell as that thing?!? It looked like a big black sperm running around my apartment and now I am scared. Can it harm me? My child? Is it a mutant science experiement from the crazy, redneck, "git-r-dun" types who moved in below us recentely? I have no idea, but I am looking forward to moving soon. Anyone with any ideas please let me know.

IT'S THE BUG GIRL!!!
Hey Shai! Still killing bugs I see. I have no idea what kind of bugs you have this time, I just hope it's not crabs again.
If it is, make sure to acutally see a doctor this time, and not just let the zoo monkeys pick them off. It's just not ladylike.
;)
Are you still in the same place?
I guess you're not, you're in an apartment now.
Well then, all I can figure is you attract bugs. :)
ANNIE!! I'm in Northern Pennsylvania now where I grew up. It was a nice apartment, until the beer distributer moved in downstairs.
I got rid of those crabs a long time ago. You're right, the monkey trick didn't work. It looks so effective on those Animal Planet shows. :/
Maybe what you saw was a silverfish?
I don't think there's anything poisonous as far north as you are.
I remember you were pregnant! How is the motherhood thing going???? Did you produce an evil village of the damned child? You do know that you can have him run all around blaring Barney or whoever is hot to kids these days and drive the peeps downstairs insane and they'll move.
I haven't been pregnant for awhile. He's almost 2! He is very village of the damned. Blond haired, blue eyed, and evil. He's my little sand trout. I don't have your email anymore or I would send you a pic.
Barney's not hot anymore. I think it's the Wiggles that they all like, and the BooBahs. Boobahs are scarier than Barney ever dreamed of being. They are like Teletubbies on LSD.
Oh yeah, silverfish, I looked it up and that is most definitly what I think it is! Freaky looking things. They sort of resemble those face hugging aliens.
If there's one there's more. :)
They won't hurt you or the little guy. I don't think they bite or bother anything.
Unless of course you're allergic....
;)
How many more would there be??? I'm paranoid, darting my eyes all over the bathroom when I'm in there. I read somewhere that silverfish can crawl into your mouth at night, or into that of your loved ones and sufficate you to death! They're like attracted to the warm, moist environment of your mouth....now I am thinking of other warm moist environments they could be attracted to. This is bad. You're sure they will leave us alone?
I'm pretty sure you're fine. They like water, so if you dry the sink out after you use it, they should go away. I've only ever really seen them outside, they like pool decks. But I guess they could come inside. It's winter though, so maybe it's some mutant super silverfish.
Worry a little bit, but only at night right before you go to sleep. ;)
Thanks a lot Annie. I kept thinking of land sperm while trying to go to sleep last night! I think that the neighbors downstairs had a water leak a few weeks ago. I wonder if that attracted them...
I'm just happy I am moving in a month. It's going to be great! Yippy!
Where are you moving?
To a different building. The apartment we are in now was meant to be temporary. We are in a one bedroom now, and that one is a two bedroom, with a lot more space and central air instead of this horrid wall unit which I made them take out because it was making me sick. One bedroom wasn't bad when the little guy was smaller, but he needs his own room now. Plus I am sick of being woke up by him throwing binkys and stuffed animals at my head.
We live in sort of a retirement community actually. A lot of old people live here. I thought it was fitting since my husband is fully retired now, and the old people spoil my son. :)
I hate window air conditioners.
It sounds nice and quiet where you are, with no rotten teenagers around. I bet hubby appreciates that. :)
Sure does! He's tired of those snotty little inconsiderate brats! I like old people, though their cooking sometimes smells aweful. Especially the drunk old guy downstairs.
The beer distributer guy is not retired yet, but give him awhile. His liver will give out and then it will be a 100% retired community.
