Killing Bugs the EASY way!
I have found a super-easy way to kill bugs that are sitting still, without having to get close to them. Get the vacuum cleaner out, put the long arm attachment on it, and suck those boogers right up into the vacuum. I have been using it for a while now. I never check the vacuum to see if they're dead but they can't get out, right? If dust can't escape the vacuum, bugs can't either. Usually the trip down the pipe is pretty harsh and I can hear them slam into the wall of the attachment. I'm certain that kills them. I've certainly never seen one walking around my home afterwards. Give a try! (There is no need to change your bag or empty the container after sucking up a bug. Just leave them there.)

Are You Self-Deluded?
Are you self-deluded? So many people are. You most likely are too. You think you would know if you were lying to yourself, don't you? Maybe you would, but then again, maybe not. Here is an example of self-delusional behavior.
I know a woman named Hope*. Hope is an alcoholic. She is married with children. Despite the fact that everyone who has lived with her, including her ex-husband, current husband, and children, all testify to the fact that Hope turns into a raging monster after she has consumed a certain quantity of alcohol, Hope herself seems to be completely oblivious to the problem. As a matter of fact, she is so completely delusional that she speaks of how she is always taking care of everyone else and how she has got to start putting herself first for a change. Here are a few of her recent quotes, taken from a cell phone that I happen to have sitting next to me at this moment.
"You know me, the peacemaker. I just don't want anybody hurt. It's just my way."
"I have always worried about everything but me. Enough already."
"Everybody [comes] before me. I have absoultely no spine."
"I have to think of myself for just a little while."
She has a signature attached to her messages that says **SUPER*MOM**
It's hard to understand how a person can believe herself to be a "Super Mom" when her own children cannot bear to live with her.
Despite the "poor me" attitude of her messages, I think she has spent plenty of time thinking about herself and very little time thinking about her children's welfare. The children desperately want to go and live with their father because the atmosphere at their mother's house is so stifling (not to mention the home smells like someone is dying in there, which makes my stomach turn everytime I visit). Hope gets drunk often and when she drinks she acts in completely irrational ways, making outrageous and false accusations towards her children and husband, screaming and cursing at them, calling them names, and putting them down. It's very much like she is taken over by a demon. I'm not a Bible-thumper by any stretch of the imagination, but I have often thought that when a person allows their physical defenses to become weakened through excessive drug or alcohol use, it opens up an opportunity for wayward spirits to enter your body and act out in violent and aggresive ways. I think this may be what a black-out is. It would certainly explain the sudden and dramatic change in behavior that occurs.
A Freudian explanation would be that her ego and super-ego have fallen asleep, leaving only her id to manage her thoughts, words, and actions.
Here is a definition of the id:
Since Hope endured quite a horrible childhood, I could certainly see where her id would be filled with rage. It lurks just below the surface, kept in check by her social values. But when she becomes intoxicated, it all comes bubbling to the surface, spewing out of her mouth and all over her innocent husband and children.
I'm guessing that her co-workers have finally gotten tired of her behavior because she recently decided to quit her stable government job. So, in the midst of an economic crisis, with record levels of unemployment, Hope is quitting a dependable job and provides good insurance benefits.
Are you self-deluded? Take my do-it-yourself quiz below and find out.
Are you an angry drunk yet you believe yourself to be a "Super Mom"? If so, you are self-delusional.
Are you an abusive crack-head murderer, yet you still see yourself as a victim? If so, you are self-delusional.
Do you hit/slap women and/or children and convince yourself that it's for their own good and that you truly are a good parent? Do you force others to agree with you and belittle and berate them if they disagree? Yet, you firmly see youreself as the victim, always giving to others and not getting anything in return? If so, you are self-delusional.
Do you leave pornography lying around your house for the kids to see, and you think you are doing them a favor by expanding their sexual horizons? If so, you are self-delusional (not to mention dangerous.) And you are creating a rapist by mixing violence and pornography. YOU ARE CREATING A RAPIST. YOU ARE CREATING A RAPIST. I have met many rapists and I can assure you that by destroying a boy's self-esteem, ridiculing and belittling him, violently beating him and ramming his head into the wall, AND at the same time raising him in an atmosphere that is highly sexually charged where nude, erotic statues and pornography are easily accessible, he will come to see that raping girls is the easiest way to gain a sense of power and control. And by the way, the pornography that you keep (or at least what I have seen of it) is totally demeaning to women. I would like to write a separate post just on that topic.
But continuing with our self-test...
Do you believe that your whole family is against you because they refuse to endure more of your arrogant abuse and con games? If so, YOU ARE SELF-DELUSIONAL. On top of that, you can kiss my f*cking ass!
Do you control your wife and kids as though they are your personal property? Do you get angry at your wife and berate her if she doesn't do things the way YOU think they should be done? If so, you are a self-deluded caveman who apparently hasn't realized that this is the year 2009 and that women have the right to do whatever they damn well please and you are completely out of line when you tell them what to do. So why don't you just suck it, BROTHER?
You just love to manipulate people who are less intelligent than you, don't you? I'd like to see just how far you'd get with your con game if you married a woman who had high self-esteem and the same I.Q. level that you have. You intentionally chose an insecure woman who was less intelligent than you so that you could more easily manipulate her. I sincerely dislike men like you. I am not at all disappointed that you've decided to cut us out of your life. It's sad as hell for your kids who will now only have access to YOU and will therefore turn into complete assholes like you. But at least I will no longer be forced to witness the abuse that you choose to put your wife and children through right in front everyone. I know it gives you a sense of power to ridicule your wife and tell her she looks like a whore while we are all listening. Of course, she only dresses that way because you can't decide whether you want a whore or a virgin for your wife. Ever heard of the virgin/whore complex? Look it up. It's obvious that you have it. The other thing you have is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. I couldn't believe how perfectly that disorder described you. I think you aren't the only person in our family with that disorder.
Are you are a woman (most likely of the religious variety) who believes that you should be submissive to your husband and allow him to be the head of the household? If so, you are ignorant and sadly misinformed. You are quite deluded if you think that men have what it takes to lead a household. Have you not seen that when you give men the chance to be in a position of authority that they take advantage of the situation? Their ego gets completely out of control and they begin abusing their authority, which almost invariably means that they begin abusing their wife and children. You can't give men too much authority because they don't have the love that is required to keep their ego in check. They are completely self-centered. They only fulfill YOUR needs when they are able to see how it may benefit them. It is extraordinarily rare for a man to go out of his way to help or protect another person without having an ulterior motive. But women do it all the time for their husband, children, and friends.
In conclusion, if you are self-deluded, will you kindly take your head out of your ass and look at the effect that your behavior is having on those in your life? You don't have to be a bully to get what you want in life. If what you want is respect, BE the kind of person that others respect. Don't try to force them to respect you OR ELSE. That will only make them hate you.

Here is a definition of the id:
It is the dark, inaccessible part of our personality, what little we know of it
we have learnt from our study of the dream-work and of the construction of
neurotic symptoms, and most of this is of a negative character and can be
described only as a contrast to the ego. We all approach the id with analogies:
we call it a chaos, a cauldron full of seething excitations... It is filled with
energy reaching it from the instincts, but it has no organization, produces no
collective will, but only a striving to bring about the satisfaction of the
instinctual needs subject to the observance of the pleasure principle.
[Freud, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis (1933)]
