LOL! I didn't realize there was an X-Files board that banned the use of the word "cock"! I think even cockroaches are more cooperative than that! *g* Well, thankfully, there was no sign of the cockroach when I got home. I don't know if it went back down the drain or if it's just hiding, but I'm grateful that I can't see it. *g*

I'm sorry you've also got the nasty white stuff. Yes, as you say, winter is definitely here.
