Amen. Everyone's like "why do you live there? Move somewhere else?" As if they don't realize the only reason they don't see roaches in hawaii is because their hotels spend a small fortune to keep them out.
Actually, it's not. Most people who actually live here or know anything about living here know that roaches are a FUN daily occurrence, and I wanted to share a product with my fellow islanders that helps me work around the problem.
It's hawaii. It's literally impossible to get rid of them in an old house such as mine, as they thrive in tropical rainforesty environments. Small price to pay for no winter ever and 24/7/365 beach access. I do miss making brownies and such though...

I didn't do very well in high school for a variety of reasons, and when it came time to go to college, I got no scholarships. Due to family financial problems, I couldn't afford to go at all. I was super bitter at first, but when I got a retail job and all my coworkers had degrees,…Â
Chicago and the Chicago suburbs are two VERY different places, and the easiest way to piss off a Chicagoan is to tell them you're from the city if you're actually from a suburb.
