I let a female detective LEO come in to my home at 11:30 p.m. more than 15 years ago. She was the bearer of sad tidings. I was alone.
There was no searching.

I'm with Terri with reporting that dog owner, Weedy. It's not just for dog safety, but for human safety as well. I've learned never to break up a dog fight again. I'm still scarred on my left hand in three places from the fight I broke up between my own dogs. If our two dogs spat, I just walk away. I yell at them to go for it. And they stop when they see me walk away. I've never gone to a dog park, because I would be worried about other dogs. I don't understand people that while walking our dogs, decide to let theirs off of the leash. Freaks me out.
So much of what we have available to us by now is just made of glue and sawdust. I have a preference for solid older furniture. I have owned some cheap stuff, but a number of years ago realized that the French Provincial furniture made a few decades ago is solid and heavy. I worked to find pieces of it here and there and now have a complete bedroom set. I have repainted most of it because of nicks and dings. I used to be all about natural wood colors, but am in a different phase now.As you all know I am trying to stay busy and get things cleaned out before next knee replacement.
Among other things.
So how many more times will I attempt to put together Estelle's toddler bed at Granny's house?
At least one more time tomorrow.
Finally had to call lady I got bed from to tell me how to put the dang thing together.
Seems you put slats and bottom together first, the footboard, headboard. DUH!
Tried every way but that way today.
So in the morning will try again. Dang.
I now see light at the end of sewing room tunnel.
The whole room vacuumed, furniture dusted.
Got rid of 2 shelving units (pretty wobbly),nightstand that was broken beyond what I could fix.
Ugly brown polyster curtains are gone ,making and putting up cafe style curtains white and bright polka dots.
Short term use typewriter table for sewing desk.
Everything is looking so fresh and clean in there.
Now I have to finish going through the stuff I stuck in shower while I was moving furniture slowly.
But my bed is cleaned off for sleeping tonight.
Strawberry is snoring in her part of the room(kennel).
Estelle has fascination with door of Strawberry's room.
She opens and closes it dozen of times, sticks her foot in and out of the kennel dozen of times each time she is at Granny's.
Pretty tired tonight, hopefully I will finally sleep.
Been a couple of days without restful sleep.
I remember those days. I thought about people dealing with children and did not envy one of you.Need to get ready for week and greet all of the preschoolers who stayed up way too late and ate way too much Halloween candy. Today will be loads of fun.
When the big day of drug busts happened in the Denver area a few months ago, there was a really bad deal in my daughter's neighborhood. There was an Asian family who owned a few restaurants. Their house was identified as a house with a drug problem. It was the wrong address! As restaurant owners, they often took the cash home. Evidently they had quite a stash of cash, having a few restaurants. Their house was turned upside down and what was found was the cash, but nothing else drug related. They were in process of getting ready to sell their home and buy a new one. I have not heard an update, and may never, but cannot imagine that kind of invasion. There were young children who witnessed the whole deal.Once you open the door you have given them the power to search the area they are in. NEVER let the officer in your home without a warrant.
I don't even let the local deputies in my house when they are on duty. Some are friends and I know a few of them.
Have you ever wondered why cops don't trust people? It's because they lie all the time to get people to incriminate themselves. It's part of the job. If you spend you life lying then you find it hard to trust.
I agree! I have some family heirlooms that I would never paint. Other stuff, it depends on what it is.@Weedygarden I cannot bring myself to paint family heirloom antique furniture, but the wonderful old furniture you can pick up at yard sales and such, game on. Maybe my heirs will paint the heirlooms.
I like various grains of wood still but painting the furniture can brighten up the room.
Good thing Estelle is only 17 months old.@MoBookworm1957 LOL Estelle sounds like a handful!
Up at 4 am for big yard sale today. It was fun! I got 10,000 steps just after 11 am! Haven't done much of anything this afternoon. Tomorrow is Church morning and evening and dog bath day.
Daddy and Granny don't tell her she a bad girl.
We just take her hands away from the outlets, Strawberry's food bowl.
I have read this post a few times. I understand that they think that maybe you are hiding him, because people do that. A few decades ago I called police for a theft on my property. The way I was treated told me that it would be a cold day in hell before I called them again. I later read about the responding officer being released because of his personality. They have a job to do, and the real criminals do everything they can to get away with their crimes.They tricked me two years ago when they came to our door. I opened it too wide and they came on it, searched the house, woke everyone up. It was 4 a.m. When I complained, they told me to shut up and stand against the wall. The next time they came I opened the door, walked on the porch and shut the door behind me. This time I couldn't because when I did open the door just a little, all 6 of them moved forward. There wasn't room. I have no respect for these officers. They come about twice a year. Our son hasn't been in this state for years. They want him for child support.
