When I was a kid, I used to collect rocks, which I stored in those old plastic ice cream buckets. I used those rocks to build ENTIRE CITIES for my beloved pillbugs. I also once got in trouble for putting pillbugs in my pencil box at school. The teacher kept me in at recess. I later shunned the pillbugs in favor of those big furry caterpillars. <strong><em>YOUR doodlebugs were luckier than mine. I never built elaborate cities! I think we must have been cut from the same cloth!~skt</strong></em> You just took me back years!

We called the roly poly bugs "pill bugs" when I was growing up. Now that I'm an adult, I like feeding them to my chickens! :twisted: <strong><em>You are indeed twisted! But, I enjoy feeding June bugs to the frogs. Do you know those frogs'll eat June Bugs until their little bellies almost bust?~skt</strong></em> You’re right: roly poly probably wasn’t the best name for a restaurant!

But I loved to watch ants, I remember I sat on the terrace hours watching how they got food, and "told" the others where was it. I put water on the floor and they border it. Well I hope you can understand what I mean. Oh, but your story was very interesting. <strong><em>You got your point across very well! And, I still don't know how you translate all my Texan talk! Do you use the Babelfish I put on the site for you? Does it just make "babble?"~skt</strong></em> Sorry, but I don´t like those Roly Poly not now neither when I was a child.

It actually reminded me of my daughter, Samantha. When she was little, it was her mission to save every bug. She just loved them. My personal favorite was the Ziploc bag full of locust shells that she carried around with her. ACK! We call them roly poly here in Chicago, too! I can't understand why anyone would name a restaurant that. Not so smart :) I'm still working on my "Dear Abby"..its going to be hard to beat your sample post! :) Jessica The Rock Chick <strong><em>EEEEeew! A ziploc bag with bugs?

And I love Roly Poly's too. Hey, did you hear that we rescued a turtle this summer!! He was running across the road, we stopped, picked him up, named him Speedy, and took him home. Then, we let him go free at the lake. You would have been touched. <strong><em>I would have been touched indeed! Though some folks claim I already AM a bit "touched."
