    So my wife can not use bear spray legally on a human. Thing is where we live there are bears so when I went to go buy my wife pepper spray I figured bear spray too just in case, can't be too safe. It would be a shame if that if there was a confrontation with the woman that assaulted her and she inadvertently grabbed the bear spray instead of the pepper spray in the heat of the moment.

    I did some research on the woman, her crime history, and her families too. I know what cars they drive, I know where they live, I have images of the family I know what they look like.

    So season starts in a week and I've gone from being uncomfortable with sleep disruption to non stop mind splitting pain and moments of sleep here and there. My rt. Hand and knee being the concentration of this.

    I'm now to the point of asking for prayers for even minimal relief. Thank you in advace.

    Thanks dp, there seems to be something going on so I may go see the Doc. for blood work. Now I know the arthritis will get flareups and with the DC in my hands it enhances issues. Though this has involved my fore arm, jaw and headaches. No sleep has me jaw clenching.
    I have to use my hands constantly so I'm hoping all the food processing has just irritated things. The garden is winding down. Raccoons destroyed the enite corn patch. At this point Thank God!. Today I put up beets, chard, beans, super swt peppers and poppers.

    CBD cream or oil works wonders.

    Yes I have dupuytrens contractures , arthritis and born with weak ligaments. The later sorta explains all other issues. Being very active all my life the whole ligament thing has caused injuries pretty much everywhere over the years.
    All that said this pain is different, almost like the bones in my hand and fore arm are the source of the pain. I tried to hold a stick of pepperoni to make a pizza for hubby. Being lft handed, I hold knife in my left hand. I could not for the life of my hold the pepperoni to cut it.

    Cameras are up, pretty cool technology, the lens will follow anything the camera picks up. Full coverage there is not getting on the property without being detected. They don't pick up little stuff so you don't get annoying chimes. My wife is at ease.

    While I was out of town the neighbors decided to have the well flushed. Dumbest thing ever, the hard water, the smell. The cause is minerals dissolved in the water flushing the well will only kill iron bacteria not iron in the water. Best part even though we flushed the system with an outside spigot. Well the water softener is not working, neither is the neighbors.

    Telling hubby our very naughty rescue Dalmatian may start the house on fire or blow it up.
    .......10hrs later.......
    I hear hubby near screaming at said Dalmation as I walk back to the house from doing chickens. Well hubby heard a click, click, clicking coming from the kitchen. Sure enough the Dalmation had jumped up on the stove to see if there was food in the pots from making dinner. I do the dishes after I put chickens to bed each night. Stove highest BTU burner turned on high but not fully to bypass the ignitor. WTH!!!
    Guess who is now in kennel anytime we can't watch him.

    Saw a news bit where a dog jumped up on the gas range and lit a burner. Sadly, there were cardboard boxes on the range. One should never to leave anything combustible on or close to the range.

    The voodoo of a water softener with a separate brine tank? My whole career I have specialized on being an expert moving liquid one way, the two way flow of the brine tank I can't grasp.

    That's just crazy ,town nieghbor, mind you 20 ft from our home stored her tupper ware in their electric oven. One of the kids managed to turn it on just before they left to go shopping. Knowing these people....yah sure.....plastic smoke everywhere, not happy I got home before her and called 911. Insufficient damage for the remodel they wanted.

    Also biggest issue here , what if he had turned on that one burner as he did but partially turned on the burner next to it with gas no flame. Hubby could have been blown up as he reached that ticking. I got up to hit bathroom last night to see two kitchen chairs, backs against burners

    Dumb enough to think the insurance company wasn't going to be wise to your scheme.
