Lauren, I checked out the cameras, and I'm not sure they'll solve the issue. The lying liars who lie merely have to say they saw her off leash and unmuzzled - in the back yard, mind you, with its six foot, reinforced privacy fence, and the cameras I saw would neither confirm or deny that. Still and all, I think I've planted the seed of serious doubt within AC, whacking them with legalese and logic and pointing out that it was a vendetta, and thus AC was being used to create issues and ultimately execute my dog. Hopefully, if there is a next time, AC will insist on photographic evidence - which won't exist, and if it does, the pixels on a cell camera are not enough to blow up to show a leash and a muzzle that blends in so well as to appear not there.

In the end, it's about pettiness and meanness. And neither spouse nor I will play that game. So the lying liars who lie can make a nuisance of themselves to the point that AC tells them to take a hike, or they can realize I have more brains in my little finger than they do in their whole bodies. The only way they win is if I kill my dog, and that's not going to happen. It's frustrating as hell, but in the end, karma will win out, and since we're taking the high road, karma should be on my side.

Am exhausted, but wanted to thank you for your thoughtfulness and support. Love you, TPA

TPA - I'm so sorry you neighbor is still being a witch I truly wish she'd get a life outside of being totally focused on Claire and stirring up trouble.

I do agree with Chic, that you have enough to worry about without letting this woman take your serenity. I know that's easier said than done, but sending you, Claire and hubby tons of hugs and prayers. I am glad Mr. Animal Control is more aware that she's an LLL.

Laly - I have a Sam/Sammy but he's just an old cat. He had been outside for 15 years of his life, had a heated big dog house that he shared with a big dog. Long story, but the owner died (I was his caregiver, he had alzheimers), dog had a seizure and died and I now rent the house with his two cats (also Tiger, indoor) and my Mots.

I brought Sammy in and he is spoiled rotten. He will lay in the hall, outside the bedroom door, just waiting for me to go to bed.

Chic - I keep hearing the commercial about flowers and praying V day is over, soon, for you.

Down to 20-something degrees, getting ready to go to bed.

Love to all!

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

((((((((((((((TPA)))))))))))))))), I'm kinda new to HH, so I don't know much about what is going on. I'm just glad that you are posting about things here. There are so many of us here that love you. Wishing you the best.

Ok, finished the tree. Now just waiting to recharge my camera, figure out how to hook it up to the computer, then figure out how to post pics. I will get this done tonight or tomorrow, since I want it here for Venus for her Valentines Day. I think she is the first one here to celebrate? it. It's a country, woodland, Valentines Day tree. I did paint all of the hearts and put my family's name on each heart.

Hope everyone is having a good night.

Me, I gotta change the TV station. Was watching Hallmark station. Dam, those are always 2 or 3 tissue movies.

Had a real stew of anxiety and depression last night but it's better now.

It just seems like this world is going insane.
I really long for the 60's and 70's.. let me tell you

amy55

Hey dreamscape, I'm glad it's better today. I also long for the 60's and 70's !!!!! They didn't have computers then !!!!! (lol)

Ok, so here I am trying to download a pic of my valentines day tree. I didn't like photo bucket. I tried it last week and I couldn't figure it out again. So I went to tinypics. Looked ok, so I tried to download there, or upload, whatever you call it. A bunch of porno pics show up !!!!!!!!!!! WTH????????????

I think I liked the dinosaur age. I like my flip phone. I like that I don't use blue tooth, if that is what you call it in my car. I like that I don't even know what an Ipad is, or a smart phone is, or blackberry is. or a kindle or whatever that new stuff is.

I can't even figure out how to put a pic here.

Sorry for the rant

Thank you, Jynx. Your good wishes mean a lot, and it's a pleasure to meet you.

You guys are right, why should I allow this card-carrying literal witch and her associate to mess with my mind and spirit? I know she's vicious and vindictive and none too bright, all of which makes her dangerous, so my concern is with my dog. I wouldn't put it past her to shoot Claire once she realizes AC isn't going to do the deed despite her ficiticious accounts. So all I can do is what I'm doing - adhering to the letter of the letter of we got from AC, keep a wary eye on her property when we're outside with Claire, and focus on living up to the higher standard I've set for myself - to do what's right, no matter what the provocation. And Chic, I love your suggestion should I see Janet, her buddy - grab my nose as if Janet has released a neighborhood clearing cloud of noxious gas and leave most ricky-tick. Of course, the gesture will no doubt go right over Janet's head, lol.

I appreciate the suggestions. I'm open to any and all ideas when it comes to dealing with this spawn of satan. In the meantime, I'm walking the high road and trying not to look down. TPA

((((((((((TPA)))))))))) You're sounding much better today. I can understand how annoying a neighbor like that can be. Just keep posting and venting here. We understand and someday the SR Karma bus will take care of LLL.

Jynx, love that tree! That's some major creativity. And thanks again for the support. Sometimes I just mull things over entirely too much, but eventually my desire to do the right thing wins out - I hope! All that said, though, I can't completely relax, but Karma will take its course.

My hat's off to your creative skills, TPA

chicory

Jynx, the tree is beautiful!
I can't wait for everyone to see it.. it almost made me cry.. such a sweet woodland tree,full of love. Its just wonderful. I love your place too

TPA... yes, just ignore as much as possible..Karma and the good Lord will give her what she deserves someday. Just stay on that high road girl. Don't let her have anymore of your head space, as they say. She does not deserve it.

love you peeps...
and I gotta hit the hay.. to be at work at 6am.. floral holiday maximus tomorrow!
hugs

Awesome effort jynx!!!!
It is a lovely tree.

Once again TPA, I am so sorry that you are in this awful situation.
I like lauren's idea, doggy cam.
I hope it helps you.

I'm sorry to hear this is a rough time for you dreamscape.
Just know that we are here for you.

To all of you and chic, Ames, Jay, LeeLee, Fandy, Tom, 40, suki, and everyone else in the HH...



Love V xx ♥

Awwww, thanks, Venus. Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.

I'm not a fan of VD. It's one of those Hallmark manufactured holidays that force people to buy stuff for someone whether they want to or not. I saw this on Pinterest and it pretty much summed it up for me...

chicory

Heck, Suki, I will settle for the fast metabolism. you can have the money.

Happy Valentines day, Venus! I wish I knew how you get those pretty shiny sparkly things on here..

love and hugs,
chic

venuscat

I will happily teach you chic my love.
And TBH, I'mm not a fan of V Day either. (Although I think I could interpret it as MY day)!
It was just a good excuse to post a pretty shiny sparkly thing.
And a good time to tell you all that I love you. ♥

amy55

I'm also not a big fan of VD. That's why I changed it in my mind. To me it is a day to really remember and appreciate all the people in my life.

When I look at my tree now, I can look at each individual name, and I can reminisce all the good times. And I can remember why I love each person in my family, my friends, my pets.

Impurrfect

Internet has kicked me out about 15 times, so will try one more time...sigh.

LOL Suki I'll settle for the fast metabolism, too.

Just had a long post, internet went poof, so will try again.

TPA - You do sound better today! I would be a nervous wreck if someone was a danger to my cats, but would probably tell them "I have everything on video now" whether I did or not (my phone does take videos). I do believe the Karma police will get her in the end.

Jynx - What a GORGEOUS tree!! Makes me want to get mine back up from the basement, but it broke

Chic - Went to the grocery store on the way home. It was packed with people buying flowers, cards, balloons and I thought of you. Do you get a break after tomorrow?

Joe - Yes, the world is going crazy, it seems. I still have to focus more on what is going on in MY life to not get overwhelmed. It's just what works for me.

Dad and boss lady got on my last nerves, today, so came home and exercised to a video for over an hour. I may not be able to move tomorrow.

I do feel bad about complaining about dad when Vee's dad is not doing well. I did at least end the phone call with an "I love you" and thanked him for the trip to Chattanooga that I'm doing tomorrow.

Missing the missing hens and roosters

Hugs and prayers,

I'm feeling so stupid now. I think you know I am usually active in F & F of alcoholics. I jumped tonight on someone that didn't deserve it. I feel sick. She just said to have a nice day with my cats. My mind raced to "get the peanut butter for the cat's to lick you". How sick is that? I thought I handled all my triggers.

I know sometimes you need to walk away before you respond, but sometimes with PTSD I think you feel like you are in a fight for your life. It feels like you are suffocating, and you need to speak out, but what you are fighting about or disagreeing with is only in your own mind, not the other person. The other person, didn't mean anything by what they said, except to support you.

Sometimes, why am I so effed up, why do I always think people don't like me? Why am I so suspicious of people now? I mean, I know, I was in a relationship, marriage for over 25 years, and nothing was really real. Reality didn't exist. I was in an abusive relationship. I was told no one liked me. I can trust people, until they get close to me, then trust goes out the window.

Sorry for venting here.

Going to hibernate till summer.

Vent away, Jynx. We all sometimes speak before we think, leap to the most strange conclusions - it doesn't make us bad people. You have a good heart, I've seen that in the short time I've "known" you, and perhaps a sincere apology will help? Just remember that you aren't the only person on this planet to make a mistake, pick yourself up, apologize, then dust yourself off and move forward. My two cents anyway, I hate to see you kicking yourself like this. Hang in there, for this, too, shall pass - or so I've been told once or twice when my mouth ran away with me. TPA

venuscat

jynx ~ don't be sorry for venting. It's OK love.
And why are you so suspicious of people now? You just gave all of the reasons love...someone did this to you. Abusers manipulate us and do massive damage.
I am just so sorry that someone hurt you so badly.

I just looked at the thread you were talking about love.
It sounds like you went through a very bad time with that guy...and it will take time and perhaps counselling to get past that sort of thing.

You didn't mean to hurt anyone here, and I think people understand that we can all get upset from time to time. This is a recovery site, and we are here to support each other.

We love you.

And Ames ~ you never need to feel bad for complaining about your dad.
Your dad is kind of hard work. I know what that's like. Our dads push our buttons.
Huge hugs for you too.

amy55

Thank you TPA and venus. I'm really happy that I joined this thread. I tend to isolate a lot. Will be afraid to show face on F& F for awhile. i apologized , but I just look "nuts". How can anyone take an innocent remark and turn it into sick porno? I can.

I'm also sorry that I am not reading here that much and comprehending that much tonight. Feeling slightly narcisstic tonight or pity party tonight.

Wanted my tree to be bridge to everyone. Sick thinking. Well whether you like it or not, I love everyone here.

I just might be taking a little time away. I know people don't agree with me on f &f about abuse. I shouldn't be on that forum anyway. I am an RA. So what do I know??? I know people there don't like me, and I can accept that.

I have no validity. I have PTSD. Can go off at any moment. Sorry, also sorry for any troubles I talked about here.

You became my safe place for me, but I can't ask you to do that.

(((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))))
