The thermometer says it's 36. I forgot to flip the heat on last night, but it isn't cold in here.
Happy Monday!

Happy Monday all. My beehives are doing so well I may need to add a new hive in the spring. I was so worried I'd kill them all it's a relief to see them thriving!

The equipment can be a little pricey to get started but after the initial investment it's just sugar water and smoke. They're not a lot of work and you get all kinds of good and yummy things from them!

There's a breakfast party in the field at the end on my road.
There were at least 100 but the glare of the sun kept me from getting a better picture.

*sigh* Well, I have one less tooth and fixin to have two less. My FRONT teeth...
G and I were sitting on the back deck at the lake house about 9:00 Friday night. He has an app that tells you exactly what stars/planets you are looking at from your location. So we had the lights out so we could see more stars.
He went inside for a minute, and about 30 seconds after he went in, three state troopers pull up to the end of our driveway, got our of their cars, stood behind their doors and pointed their guns and flashlights at me. They told me to show them my hands and asked if anyone was in the house. I told them that my husband was. They told me to lace my hands behind my head and come off the deck to the road. (note, the driveway is gravel and the rocks are about as big around as my fist. There is also a little ditch where the water runs from the lake. Again, there are no lights except for the flashlights shining in my face). I asked them if I could put shoes on, they said, "no ma'am, come off the deck". I told him that I could not walk barefoot across the gravel and he said, "I'm not going to tell you again, come off the deck". So, hands laced behind my head, I went down the steps into the gravel. Well, I did step in the little ditch and went down. My hands were behind my head so I could not catch myself in time and hit mouth first. I start screaming and G comes running out the door and they train their guns on him. He puts his hands up and the troopers said that he could come down and get me. They then follow us up to the deck and ask us how long we have been renting the place (?). I told them that we owned it and that we actually lived in TN. He asked to see ID, we showed it. He them asked if he could look inside the house. We told him that he could.
After going back outside, he said that they had gotten a domestic disturbance call to this AREA (NOT our address, the area) and that they needed to check it out. They left saying they were sorry for any inconvenience. Yeah, Me missing a tooth really isn't JUST an inconvenience. We are looking into suing, but I don't think I want to go there. Yes, they were *******s, but with all the crap going on lately, they cannot be too careful. But dang, Gina!!!!

They handled that very poorly. At the very least, you need to tell their superiors. That's awful.

So this doesn't just happen to black people, ohfour? And isn't your house in Canada? Interesting.
I am very sorry it happened. It must have been terrifying for you and G. It was handled poorly. All that for a domestic violence dispute? I can understand them taking precautions, particularly with all the attacks on our men in blue lately. I am not sure what they did would be considered excessive force, just an accident. But what do I know....anyway, I hope you get your teeth fixed. You might want to let the department know anyway
That is crazy scary Oh4! I'd report it & send them the dental bills. Luckily (?) there are implants now so you won't need dentures or a bridge or other older type of replacements. But they are expensive.
This is terrible! I would totally be sending the bill to the police. Register your complaint asap so there is a record. We wouldn't want them to 'forget'.
Thanks guys. After my DDS apt today, when we know an estimate on the cost to get this fixed, we are going to file a complaint. I just want to be compensated for their neglect.
FNW, this house is in KY. We don't have a house yet in Canada, just land.

Shocker: I'm taking a day off! I took Wednesday off so my mom and I can stay up late tomorrow and watch all the election coverage without having to worry about getting up early. I'm such a big dork.

I truly believe it is in God's hands and the correct person will become president. But I still like the excitement of watching it all unfold. To watch history being made.

Vertigo is horrible. I am really sorry you are dealing with it.

God has nothing to do with corruption, if it was in his hands, Hillary would have had an accident by now. It is in the people's hands.

So........one tooth is going to have an implant. The other one may. We are talking about 5k for both. They are going to pay. Hopefully. We'll find out next week. If we lose, still paying for the restoration. I aint goona have two missing front teeth!

I hate when a doctor - who is not a psychiatrist and has known me for literally 5 minutes - tries to screw with the medication that keeps me able to live and keep a job. When you try to screw with the medication that allows me to keep a job, get out of bed and function like a human being it causes an unnecessary panic attack. Thus proving my point.
I know I'm on a ****tail that might not be completely useful, but compared to before? Seriously. Before these meds I was so all over the place that I nearly lost my job. More than once. Had a manic break and fell into full PTSD mode. These meds keep it barely at bay. DON'T F--- WITH THEM!
One thing I have learned from the myriad of doctors' visits I have had to endure for the boys, "doctor's orders" are recommendations, not orders. Do what you want and what your instincts tell you. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Tig ~ He knew you for 5 MINUTES and wanted to change your meds? Why was he even called in? Is he an insurance doctor?
It was for prescription refills. I generally get 3 months at a time and pick them up monthly over the three months. She disagreed with the ****tail and wants to 'call the psychiatrist' (good luck getting a hold of him!) and only gave me 6 weeks. Ugh. She's a new dr who took over the old one's practice. I think I might switch to the other one in the same clinic. Enough of that crap.
And yes, recommendations are one thing. Threatening to withhold prescriptions is quite another. (okay - she hinted, not threatened. However, it feels like a threat when you mess with the reason that I am currently able to keep a job.)
Um, WTF ohfour?!
I've been treated with more respect by the police when I was involved in an actual DV situation.
Definitely take that up the chain of command. File all the complaints.
In the meantime get the best dental care available. Feel better soon.
Sorry Tig, I fully understand your frustrations! I hate the doctors who think they know more about you than you know about yourself
I flat out laughed at her when she suggested 'counselling to learn coping skills for anxiety'. I was like - look at my med list! If coping skills were enough I wouldn't be on half that! The meds keep me alive - the coping keeps me functional. But thanks for the tip.
Love you!
