I understand the roach phobia, but roaches are actually very clean. As far as carrying disease and such, they don't. So don't worry if you see one. Much safer to have around than mice. (Although we'd all prefer neither!)
Lynnie, so glad you got your son back with you and I'm also thankful for your husband.
Kalama, I'm so thankful your brother is still alive and I pray he gets what he needs to feel the joy of living. My heart goes out to you!
