Yo, lead poisoning?!? Geezus, that's a lot to process. And ur mom is pretty sick as well, not just from the c-word?
We got some lead water pipes around here, the city's water main is lead free but from the main in the street to the home could very well be lead if the house is pretty old (like pre WW2 or earlier). They recommend you run your taps for a bit in the morning or whenever the water has been sitting in the pipes for a while. If the water is moving fairly often it's not collecting as much lead.

Not sure if u can sue the city, maybe a doctor if they didnt diagnose it earlier and should have. Or maybe u can sue the city if they didnt tell u your water might have lead in it and warn u to get it tested. Not sure about that either. What does google tell u? How about chatgpt?

Ur granddad died of lead poisoning, Pops? Man, that's grim. Im assuming he didnt eat flakes of paint like a kid would do, was it just touching it a lot that got the lead in his system? I wonder what dying of lead poisoning is like. Sounds like an awful way to go.

Haha Wallace is rocking the antlers. How old was he when this picture was taken? He looked happy and healthy.
those look like awesome pups
Wallace Franklin is his official name. He was 2.5 years old then. We adopted him and Bonnie a week apart. They were from a litter of puppies found abandoned during Tropical Storm Debbie in 2012. There were 4 females and 1 male.

There was a Wallace before Wallace Franklin. He was a Golden Retriever that we purchased from a local breeder in January 2012. Not long after I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and Wallace became my cancer dog. He rode with me every morning for radiation treatments. He curled up in the driver;s seat and waited for me. He was a 'high energy' pup and he loved to run like no other dog I have ever known. We took two obedience training classes and we failed both times. LOL

MamaD and I made a trip to Lake Tahoe to visit her cousin. The morning before our flight home I got a call from the Vet that Wallace was found dead in his kennel that morning. Necropsy was negative and cause of death unknown. I was crushed, and when MamaD went back to work Monday I was a tearful mess.

My very close friend and his wife adopted one of the abandoned pups and he told me there was a male. The shelter was closed for the weekend so I sent an email telling them I would be at their door when it opened. The lady at the shelter gave me a stack of papers to fill out and while I was doing that we were making small talk. She mentioned that she named the male I was adopting . . . WALLACE. Tear ducts went to full open and I told her about my Wallace. She then said she had named over 500 animals and that was the first time she used the name.

When I took Wallace for his first checkup I told the story to Dr. Beth and we both teared up. She then asked me if it would be OK to change his name. He became Wallace Franklin from Franklin County. From then on he would introduce himself, "Hi. My name is Wallace Franklin from Franklin County, but you can call me Wallace."

Bonnie stared me down from an outside enclosure when I dropped off a leash the shelter loaned me to take Wallace Franklin home. The shelter was closed on a Sunday. She sat motionless at attention and watched me. I was out of Bonnie's sight line when I hung the leash on the front door knob. When I returned to the car she was still sitting and staring at me with her big dark eyes. I turned to MamaD and said, "That's going to be hard to forget." I was at the shelter that Monday morning and Bonnie came home with me.

@shithawk420 Lead exposure/poisoning screening test is a simple blood test. A finger stick is all that is required to begin. Call your local health department for some low cost/no cost options.

Hows tricks Buzz, cute doggies, unconditional love is what ya get... Love the antlers, the Led Christmas collars will be popping up soon enough.

Hey babba hope your well, the nft tables has a trickle of water running down the trays, once the spreader has enough roots the trickle of water would be constant 24/7 just a matter of maintaining the rez.
The hand feeding was coco, every 2-3days in veg and then every day throughout flower..
NFT I enjoyed, but comes with hight restrictions as the highest end of the trays sat on the reservoir restricting head height...

Using smaller pot sizes this time around for the biobizz to fit more plants, with the smaller pot sizes im sure I will find my self having to water every two days anyway.. Chasing the flavours.
Karmas head banger (the old one) some jack and blockhead croses from chrimera is what's been cooking up.

Hey pops hope your good, maybe your woman will join you at some stage over the festive period.
It's a good time for it.
What about your mum will she be going to Asia?
Don't be by yourself, jet over to Ireland 😊 my front door is never closed, there will be a seat at the table and enough meat to feed a small army, there won't be a brussel sprout in sight I tell ya. Not sure what will be on the menu, last year was goat curry, it could be venison or rib of beef.
Nobody likes turkey, I don't mind it myself in a sandwich with stuffing washed down with a pint of milk..
Herself looks after the condiments and desserts..

I seen those led projectors last year, suburbian living man with finely manicured gardens, they look cool.
I like the candles as well, there's always one burning here.. I usually end up throwing lights on the oaks out the back, I love seeing the lights going up, bit like a child in a sweetie shop.

Most of Ireland is covered in a blanket of snow, was -2/-3 this morning, the country usually comes to a standstill once it hits zero..
2 of the lads who didn't turn up for work this morning both had car issues 🙄

Ah, i remember the Wallace story, thanks for giving more detail. Cant imagine why he passed at the kennel like that, that's gotta be every pet owner's nightmare. Hopefully he passed peacefully.
It's great you took in both shelter dogs, im sure theyre loving life at the homestead. Lots of room to run and things to sniff. Are they pretty good with not running off the property or do u have to fence them in?

Yeah hawk call around to some lawyers and see if any of them think u have a case. It couldnt hurt and may give you some sense of control over this effed up situation.

Ive never done Nutrient Film Technique, superx, have heard of it but forgot what it is now, sounds like a killer way to grow a mass of roots. Keep roots moist and airy, im sure growth was fast.
Ive done coco in pots before, using this little drip irrigation system that worked pretty well. Hand watering every day can be a chore but i figure you need to be checking on the girls every day during the grow, look for pests, trim leaves, move pots around etc. It's been a while since ive grown tho so i dont miss the grind; when youve got work and family and a social life to attend to, spending half an hour to an hour gardening every day can be a chore.

Goat curry? You cooked that yourself? Interesting dish. I love a good curry but dont like the thought of cooking it indoors, even with ventilation.

If most of the country is at a standstill when it's that cold how come you have to work? Hope you're not working outdoors at least.
That's a lovely view, not sure if anywhere in the States looks like that, vaguely reminds me of someplace like Montana with the gently rolling landscape and hills in the background, but way more green. They dont call it the Emerald isle for nothing.

Is that a beef and vegetable stew? With a roll on the side? I could eat 2 of those plates after a day in the cold, maybe 3.
