How much gunfire is going to go off in Bastrop tonight eh?
Okay so we are up to 4 broken up parties, somewhere in the ball park of 50-60 shots fired in this county, a small structure fire, 6 arrests, and NOW we are getting a search party together for an intoxicated female on a 700 acre farm....This is all since 1am...
ETA: and we had one EDP at (insert address here) and the dispatcher is informing the first responding officer that the man has a habit of keeping knives on his bed and he interrupts to say "Oh I am well aware of this one, thanks anyway ma'am."
I guess our officers REALLY know their trouble makers to the point of having addresses MEMORIZED before they even head out there...0 -

I thought Bastrop was a quiet community! This is MESSED UP!
ETA: How many people REALLY drive on the WRONG SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY?! You don't wanna know...0 -
I'm one of those people. I love to sleep in 50 some degree weather! Then again, I typically run around 95 degrees so it does FEEL warmer to me all of the time. And I get really hot when I sleep...most people's temp is lowest at night but I'm warmest then...I think it has to do with the full body muscle clenching going unchecked...in the day, I can attempt to loosen up when I'm super clenchy...but while I'm sleeping? I obviously have no idea I'm doing it. It is like isometrics for hours at a time...why am I not RIPPED?

Sounds like a hell of a night.
Yeah I would like to think they'd have stuff like that memorized... their life depends on it. Hopefully they didn't learn the hard way...

Dammit this seems minor but I like to read while I ride the stationary... Just discovered I left my nook hd at work... You can probably guess what happens when someone leaves something like that.0

I would not think it minor if I knew my device was going to get jacked. Also, I have been know to entirely skip a workout if I have forgotten my headphones...so I get that.0 -
That awkward moment when I forgot that I turned the computer speaker on earlier to listen to watch a video, and it unexpectedly makes a weird noise and scares the crap outta me.0

Been there!
Or if I'm sitting quietly in the office and an alarm goes off, it makes this LOUD dinging noise. UGH!0 -
I want a nap....guess that means it's time for more rounds... *sigh*0

When I lived down there, they would have drunk parties all the time. One time, One of the old time members of the county who was a bit of a jerk got really drunk. He was tearing around the park on his horse terrorizing people and reminding them that they were all interlopers and they should go back where they came from. He finally challenged someone to a race and the took the horse while they took their car. He raced cross country but when the crossed the river, the horse came out but he didn't. His spurs boots and chaps took him straight to the bottom. Guess he lost.0 -
Absolutely nothing is happening now and I have a whole 30 minutes until this shift is over. How am I supposed to stay entertained?
The two commissioned officers for day shift are here already. And being annoying. Day shift is for the BIRDS let me tell ya...0 -
It aaaalllll makes sense now. The lady that came down for breakfast at 4:21 a.m....the lady that kept complimenting my hair...her cat. She called, asking to stay another week...I saw she has a cat on her account. Asked if her cat is in her room. She said yes and I told her about the loose cat...she says she needs to go check on her cat. Then she comes to get the cat and sits in a chair and talks to the cat for nearly 2 minutes...while I'm standing there with the door open...I was two seconds from telling her to get out. Sheesh. She is on something...pills are my guess...
I got the sleeves attached to the bodice! It looks rather shoddy but it is purple and black and she'll be wearing it at night...if it fits! I can't wait to have her try it on when she gets here!!! Again, nearly had a moment trying to figure just how to do it...and again, thank GOODNESS for YouTube, I didn't! Now to do the skirt plus tulle overlay, attach that to the bodice and....and then...then the zipper! Yikes!!!0 -

So had a woman call bc she had some domestic issues with her fiancé Friday night but he left and hasn't returned. Is terrified of him and is hysterical on the phone. Doesn't want to leave her two grown children home bc she's afraid for them. But doesn't want the police over bc she doesn't know what the neighbors would think.
Priorities people. Priorities.
I wish someone would shake her so she'd come out of the fog she's in. I've been there. It's hard as *kitten* but never once did I care what my neighbors would have thought it the police were called. Oy

Just call the police. If nothing else, the people who are causing the problems will know you're not afraid to get help. @bethanie0825 - I'm 100% with you on this one.0

Some troubling news to share. Nick, my fiancé, woke me up at around 6:30 (my 3 a.m.) to ask me to look at Nash, our dog. This instantly worried me because...ya know...thirdshifters and waking them up and all. I'm the "family doctor"...people always come to me to diagnose them because I'm right like, 95% of the time. I see Nash on the couch, panting. I sit there and check him out, my fiancé points out his swollen paw. He is coughing. I tell Nick to get him to the vet. They ran some tests and have no idea what is going on. His white blood cell count is SIX and his red cell count is POINT FIVE. He is staying overnight with some fluids and antibiotics. My fiancé is a wreck and my daughter is too...but I think more so because dad is so upset.
I've said MULTIPLE times that something is "wrong" with Nash. His hip issues before one year old, allergies...he is inflamed. I have a lot of the same issues and I believe it is autoimmune based...I told Nick I bet Nash has something autoimmune that caused inflammation, too. Now he has super low white blood cells...if it isn't autoimmune...I'm guessing leukemia...I hate to say it but that would be my amateur guess. I've said it before, I never thought we'd have him long...his body deteriorates faster than it should...not that I for sure think this is the end...but I still don't believe he'll live as long as others of his breed. The doc did say that she saw a dog with the same situation years ago and it pulled through. Nash is tough...he is a lover and a couch potato but his drive to protect his family/will to live is through the roof and he is the kind of dog who COULD possibly beat this. Fingers crossed...
@sufferlandrian...your thoughts?0 -
@Frankie_Felinius I'm sorry to read this...

@Frankie_Felinius - Autoimmune disease is an over reactive immune system so the WBC count skyrockets. I would expect with autoimmune disease to have a WBC count of 20K or better. By the way, your six is 6K and your 0.5 is 0.5 M (million) which is pretty low. I'd be interested in what the rest of the blood work said. It sounds like an infection somewhere. It's pulling cells to it. It could be cancer. Cancer in the bone marrow is difficult to detect and it will crowd out other cells. Fluids and IV antibiotics are going to be your best bet at this point. The question is, where are the RBCs going? What was the Bilirubin? There's not chance he got in to an anticoagulant in the last week is there? D-Con or a blood thinner?0

I just called to check on him and his temperature went down from 106 to 102.8 and he ate a good meal...so he is looking okay for now. They said all his organs are in fine working order.
He did eat a tiny amount of rat poison a few months ago (went to the emergency vet for that too!) and he was out at the same place a few days ago but my fiance said he wasn't in the area they leave poison. As for an infection...he has had that skin issue for awhile now and has had wounds from scratching but we've never noticed any obviously infected. His foot is red and swollen and he is limping. My fiance noticed the other night he was favoring one paw over the other and thought maybe he got a thorn stuck in it while camping but found nothing...didn't really think much of it.
He said the vet seemed really baffled. Said she had never seen a blood cell count that low (even the other case similar was quite a bit higher) and re-ran the test several times to be sure. When I told my fiance that I suspected leukemia, he said she did say something about testing his marrow. I looked at his gums and they looked pink and healthy...every person I've known with leukemia, especially late in the game...was very pale. No pinkness whatsover. So that made me think NOT leukemia...but that is again...just my speculation.
Aren't there some autoimmune diseases that destroy white blood cells though? I know typically it is an overreaction of wbcs but I thought I remember reading about some that do the opposite...0
