That's exactly why I quit using that term I know I draw into my life what is in my mind and heart.

I sure know about the pain meds thing...had to find a way to work around the system. I do have a system set up with my pharmacist now, where I call the day before for one med, so he's sure if he doesn't have it, he orders it. If it's something that takes more time, then I used to put it on the calendar as to when to call and have them order whatever it was. Yes, for narcotics, if they fill ANY part of the script, it's gone..the whole thing. AND here in FL (IDK about other States) there is NO accounting back to the doctor who wrote the thing. So if I only received 10 pills out of hundred say, and then went to the doctor for another script I would NOT get it, because she had no way to know how many pills I got of the last script.

FL has a big problem with that sort of thing, and it's recently become a legal issue. (So many people coming to FL for their pain meds, as they can doctor shop and go to different pharmacies and no one knows the difference. ...You know, the Heath Ledger thing.) If I do what I need to, and then the pharmacy is still short, he will "owe" me... not quite legal I think, but only fair he says. He keeps a copy of the script or makes a note, and also writes how many I received on my bottle. What a hassle huh? And you and I know the guys who are "using" the system improperly probably don't go through any of this!

So sorry about the dog issues too. My ex was notorious for not taking care of the animals. We lost so many doggies and almost a son due to his lack of vigilance. But you are trying to do good on that, and it still happens. That's because they are dogs! I wish for you a nice person who can train your dogs for you free...just a little bit more...so they will behave better for you.
