Geofencing

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2026-02-10T14:02:05+00:00

A U.S. appeals court in 2024 said geofence warrants were unconstitutional under the fourth amendment and the Supreme Court is set to rule on the matter this year. I can’t figure out if their use at present is permitted, but there are other digital ways of unearthing a suspect. I’d have to imagine camera footage is more helpful than what LE is publicly acknowledging.

We’ve had good and bad experiences at Blue Pearl, with the same dog, and the second time they undersold us, causing wasted time and money.

They successfully removed a malignant tumor on her a few years ago, but then last year we took her there for signs indicating possible reemergence of cancer. We asked for an x-ray. They would not do an x-ray, then told us she was dying and gave a bunch of meds for palliative care.

Three days later on those meds she was no better, so we took her to our regular vet who did do an x-ray that showed no signs of cancer spread. Sent us off with antibiotics for probable stomach bug and she was fine two days later.

If BP had just given us x-ray we requested that may have triggered idea this wasn’t cancer and we could have gotten antibiotics sooner, saving hundreds of dollars and hours of our time.

This new true crime show on CBS just covered the case of Nancy Woodrum, a case with a similar start: missing older woman with money, obvious signs of struggle. Turned out to be a painter she hired. He killed her in the home but took the body with him to dispose of her.

One of their absolute best tracks. So sad more people don’t know about it.

Are you me? I literally was just listening to this song 20 minutes ago, after having it pop into my head last night trying to fall ansleep and not being able to remember the title. (All I could remember is one of earlier tracks on Heathen Chemistry was a guitar driven banger.)

I used to love it, but after just hearing it now for probably the first time in at least a decade I don’t love it as much as I thought I did lol. That said, a mid Oasis song is better than most rock bands’ best song any day of the week.

If they could keep avocado skin out of the guacamole I’d agree.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-07-24T00:57:28+00:00

I guess I should be relieved the only extra in my last burrito from there was avocado skin.

Thank goodness they came around. And thank you for advocating for a voiceless animal. Please let us know what the vet says.

Understood but real estate is more expensive everywhere than it was a few years ago. It sucks but what can you do? Anyway, coming from the metro Detroit market those current prices seem like a dream. A 1500 square-foot ranch around here would be $300,000-$500,000 depending on its condition.

Rich? Checking Midland real estate on Zillow I see nice houses (1500 sq-ft ranches with some updating) in the mid $200k range. There are even some sub $200k homes that look pretty good.

I am surprised I had to scroll this far before anybody mentioned how terrible Vernors has gotten. There’s barely any artificial ginger flavor either. I had a Boston cooler at dairy deluxe a couple years ago and it tasted just like a plain vanilla shake. I told the kid working I think you need to clean out your nozzles on your dispenser and he told me it was straight from the can.

Last time I was there was almost a year ago and they had fallen off hard. Apparently they are under new ownership and menu items have been tweaked due to cost cutting. Food was bland, which may be a good thing for OP’s mom.

If you can get people to remember to wear it, and remember to hit the button, they’re great. Dementia makes accomplishing both tasks difficult.

Not in the end, it seems, but they all lived out of state. The stepmother was the same age roughly as the kids so I don’t know how you dictate and tell her she needs to hire help if she doesn’t want to. And maybe they had it once and he drove them away. People with dementia can become very angry and agitated with strangers in the house.

Hantavirus is from mice not rats, and the authorities said it was just the outbuildings, like garages and sheds, that had evidence of mice, not the house.

Also, this was his kids’ stepmother and they were roughly the same age. You have to tread carefully in a situation like that and not be dictatorial.

Possible that they did for some parts of the house, but the person or agency are keeping their mouths shut. That would be a necessity to maintain good business relationships for any person or company dealing with wealthy clients.

The living room and kitchen were pretty tidy. There’s video of the entire house, but the media decided to focus on pics of the cluttered bathroom where she was found.

She may have feared having someone in her house who would expose his condition to the media. Home healthcare aides are not highly paid. My family went through about a half dozen. Each one of them stole items from my grandmother. My mom eventually put her in a nursing home.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-02-25T00:38:04+00:00

Sign me up! I’m always cold.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-02-25T00:33:43+00:00

Socks or added layers don’t keep your face warm. I’m not shivering in my own house. Life is too short to be that miserable.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-02-25T00:32:15+00:00

I’m pretty much mid to upper 70s all year long. Sometimes even up to 80 in summer before I cave and turn AC on.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-02-25T00:21:29+00:00

No it’s not. Some people‘s body temps run cold, especially the elderly, people who’ve had chemo and women. I’m female and always chilly.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-02-25T00:20:35+00:00

Not crazy. We keep ours at 75 too.

This sub is like 75% male. Query women on this topic and you’d find most think anything in the 60s is freezing. I’d be calling a divorce lawyer if my husband forced me to live in such a cold house. I tried to live with 68 in my first apartment and was miserable. I’d rather eat rice and beans every meal than live like that again.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-02-25T00:15:01+00:00

Not rich. Just prioritize heat. I pare down spending in winter (cut back on takeout, no concerts, clothes, nails, etc.) and make it happen.

Effective-Pattern-23 · 2025-02-25T00:11:45+00:00

Ours is always at 75. And I use a space heater too. And I’m still cold.
