More About Money

Alice Henry @IreneVincent (15960) • United States 26 Feb 17

Rohvannyn Shaw @Rohvannyn (3098) • United States 9 Jul 16

I have almost no nervousness about palo verde beetles now. (Those are the guys who run 4-5 inches in length including antennae, have shiny black carapaces, and often will bumble into things in flight.) Why? Because I've learned...

roxxtime @roxxtime (299) • United States 11 May 10

Eek a centipede!

anna728 @anna728 (1499) • United States 21 Aug 09

I just saw one run across the floor and now I scared that it is going to come near me. So yeah, I am pretty afraid of centipedes and other bugs- spiders, beetles, moths, anything like that. So are you afraid of things like this...
