Goes without saying that sometimes I would be dead tired. The hole in the wall where we ate was actually very grungy and unhygienic. One evening, after a hard day of school, I sat eating dinner, when I found a huge cockroach in my curry. I was too tired, and hungry, and didn&#39;t have the energy to complain. The roach had been cooked. So I quietly put the cockroach aside, pulled the wool over my own eyes, and continued eating. 2026-01-09T13:27:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswez026ay3mw44wlnydqg2qkqdz5q2nkkl3ssavmy5hy2ujh24mdczyrgkfhsrkkwvuyszl4vhukfnza87s4ywe599wstm45lqelx7se7agck78da In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9u06j6fwj6nx0skzf9lzkxgkcp4nlcex2ha0vcdp7x34sv2ahh0ssz2539'>nevent1q…2539</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That one is epic!
