Thank All Of You So Much For The Kind Words And Prayers, I Know I Do Not Deserve To Be Considered On ANYONES List Of HEY, PLEASE GET ALONG AND BE FINE. Due To My Negligence In Keeping Up With Our Wonderful Community Of Great Friends. I Know It Must Be A Complete DRAG To Always Have To try And Encourage Some One To Feel Better, But All The Positive Vibes By All Of You Are To Me Heart Felt, And Very Appreciated!
I Hate To Be The Bearer Of Non-Stop Bad News, Which Is Part Of The Reason I have Not Written In So Long. Well Unfortunately, I Have More Bad News Regarding Yarrow, Starting About A Week Before Christmas Y Starting Experiencing Debilitating Headaches. Due To The LAG Time With The Doctors Here, We Finally Got Her In To See A Neurologist And An Optometrist. More Bad News Unfortunately, She Has Swollen Optic Nerves, Which According To The Doctors Happen Only In Severely OBESE People(SHE IS FAR FROM OBESE), Or People That Have Tumors(BENIGN OR MALIGNANT), Behind The Frontal Lobe Of The Brain. Just One More Leak In A Ship That Is Sinking Fast!!! I Really Feel That I/We have Been Abandoned By God(I KNOW THIS SOUNDS LIKE SHAT, BUT ONE CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH BEFORE THEY REALLY BEGIN TO LOSE HOPE, AND WONDER, WHAT DID SHE EVER DO TO LIVE A LIFE FULL OF AGONY???) Yarrow Is The Sweetest Person,Honest,Giving, Been Through Way More HELL Than Any One I Have Ever Known, And I Feel She Deserves At Least A Few Days Of Peace From Pain And Discomfort, If Any One Does!
I Am Completely POWERLESS To Help Her In Any Way, Except Hold Her Hand(FAT LOT OF GOOD THAT DOES!!!), And Feed And Bathe Her And Dress Her. I Kinda Feel Like A Useless Entity, That Is Just Here To Watch Her Suffer, I Mean, What The HELL GOOD IS THAT!!! Sure I Am Here For Her, But The Feelings Of Helplessness I Have, Override All The Things I Do For Her. Which I Would Do Anyways As She Is My Wife, So Basically I Feel As Though I Am Doing NOTHING to Get Her Better, Just Prolonging The Inevitable, And I Must Tell You, It Is A SHAT WAY TO FEEL!!!
I Know That Unless You Have Experienced Something Along The Same Lines, YOU HAVE NO IDEA AS TO THE UTTER AND COMPLETE USELESSNESS I FEEL.
She Cannot Focus On ANYTHING, Be It TV,Reading,Talking, Hell Even Riding In The Truck, Because Every Jolt, Or Bump In The Road Sends Her Into Actual Such Excruciating Pain, That All She Can Do Is Cry And Moan(LOUDLY) In Pain. I Just Wonder What The Man Upstairs Has In Plan For her, Or Us Both? Because REALLY, We Are Both At Our Breaking Points!!!
Now On To Last Years Harvest(I AM SURE YOU ARE ALL BREATHING A COLLECTIVE SIGH OF RELIEF
) Everything Was Harvested, Even Though LEO Showed Up UNANNOUNCED At Our Doorstep! Thankfully I Had Already Harvested All Of The Early To Mid Ready Herb, By The Time They Arrived To Let Me Know They Were, HOT ON THE CASE OF WHOEVER TRIED TO BOUNCE ONE OF MY CREDIT CARDS CHECKS FOR $1,300 Dollars. Which I Had Already Been Informed Of A Month Prior To, By The Bank, Which Said They Had Put A Stop To It Already. In My Mind, This Meant CASE CLOSED! But NO, The Local Sheriffs Office decided To Come By, And Get The Exact Same Info They Already Had From The Bank?!? What I Think The LEO'S Were Trying To Establish, Was If I Was One Of The People That Had Tried To Cash The Check Illegally. They Asked Me For My Social Security Number, My Height, Weight,Eye Color,Hair Color And My Drivers License Number, Along With ALL Of Yarrow's Info As Well. I Kept Thinking To My Self, Should They Not Have All Of This Info In Their DATA BASE Already??? They Also Got All Of Our Phone Numbers, And Called Us Again That Night, As Well As The Following Day!
When They Checked Our Garden For Compliance, One Officer Took a Circuitous Route To The Garden, I Guess To Make Sure I Did Not Have A Secret Garden Tucked Amongst The Red Wood Trees. Satisfied That There Was No Secret Garden, They Asked Permission To Enter The Garden It's Self(MIND YOU, THESE WERE OFFICERS I HAD KNOWN FROM THE GUN CLUB, AS WELL AS OTHER NRA SPONSORED EVENTS,PARADES IN WHICH I WAS THE COLOR BEARER WHEN ON ACTIVE DUTY,ETC), The Senior Officer I Had Known For A Good 20 Years!!! Upon Seeing The Size Of My Plants, He Said That There Was NO WAY, I Had Only 25 Plants, The Garden Was Just Way To Large To Just Be 25 Plants, PERIOD HE SAID!!! I Said No Sargent, Just 25 Plants, The Legal Number Allowed, And He Said Listen Jim, I Have Been Doing This A Long Time, And I Can Tell When There Are More Than 25 Plants In A Garden, So It Would Be In Your Best Interest To Just Be Honest And Tell Me The Actual Number. And I Repeated , Only 25 Sargent, I have NO REASON TO LIE, As You Are Here Already. He Said OK, If That Is The Story You Want To Stick To, So Be It, But Remember, I Tried To Let You Be Honest!!! Well Needless To Say They Entered The Garden, And Lo And Behold, I WAS TELLING THE TRUTH!!! They Said They Had NEVER Come Across A Garden Of This Size With Just 25 Plants In It. They Were Speechless, And Aside From The Fact That Most Of The Plants,Besides Bottom Buds Waiting To Fill Out, And Late Bloomers(SATIVA,SATIVA HEAVY CROSSES), Had Already Been Harvested, They Were In Utter Amazement Of Even The Plants That Had Not Been Fully Harvested, Not To Mention The Untouched Late Bloomers!
The Sargent Told Me, I Had The Most Magnificent LEGAL Garden He Had Ever Seen, And Apologized For Assuming That I Had Been Telling Them Lies. He Said That If Everyone Knew My Secret To Growing MONSTER Plants, No One Would have To Break The Law By Growing More Than 25 Plants, He Also Said That There Was No Way In Hell That I Only Had My Minimum Allotment Of Dried Cured Herb. So He Wanted Me To Immediately Cut The Rest Down And Destroy Them. I Explained To Him That Not All The Plants Were Mine, As I Grew Not Just For My Wife, But 2 Other family Members As Well. He Said(FALSELY)That I Could Only Grow For Those That Lived On The Property With Me(I GUESS HE RECKONED I WAS IGNORANT TO THE LAWS,I WAS NOT), And Said That If He Returned In A Week Or Two, I Had Better Only Have My Legal Amount Of Herb For My Wifes Personal Use. I Did Not Say That I Smoked, As I Generally Never Do Anyways, And Because We Both Saw One Another On A Fairly Regular Basis Shooting, I Thought It Wise To Not Admit To Ever Smoking, I Did Not Wish To End My Ability To Have A CCW Permit, Or Not Be Able To Buy Ammo And Weapons For That Matter. As A Matter Of Fact, I Have Not Smoked Since About A Week Or So To Before Their Coming To My Place,BUMMER!!! Well Here Are Some Pictures From Harvest Just Prior to The Big Debacle, Some May Have Been Posted Before, Others I Think Maybe Not. One Piece Of Advice Though, Not All LEO's Are Jerks, Quite To The Contrary, Most, If Given The Respect Their Uniform Deserves(BECAUSE IT IS THE UNIFORM AND WHAT IT REPRESENTS, NOT THE MAN In IT,THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE GIVING YOUR RESPECT TO, AND THE BADGE OF COURSE),
LEO'S Will In Most Cases Give You The Same Respect You Give Them, If You Reply Yes Sir/Mam, No Sir/Mam, It Will Go A LONG WAY In Determining On Whether Or Not You Just Receive A Warning , Or A Ticket!!! So Here Is Some Bud PORN, ENJOY!!! JAMESTHEGREEN!!!!

Very awesome grow there MR. Green, Hopeing the best for you and Yarro. HAve been through two bouts with breast cancer in the last five years and a father in law that passed from demenchiea. I know it is not what you are going through, but I feel where you are coming from on the helpless part, Will say a prayor my friend, may GOD be knid to you and yours, OG
Even though the news about Y is not great I am glad to hear from you. You may want to seek external help for yourself dealing with all that is on your plate. I wish you and Y a few peaceful hours for starters.

Welcome back James!!
That is terrible that Yarrow isn't getting any better.
It must be so hard for you to just sit back and watch it happen.
It's heartbreaking really..
My Prayers are with you and Yarrow until she hopefully finds some kind of relief from this agony.
Take care my friend,
and talk soon,
P.S. Beautiful Photos again!
You really know how to grow em big!

Another epic harvest my friend!!
But more so important than the weed is your wife. I am sorry to hear the bad news mate, that really sucks balls mate. I can understand how inadequate you must feel not being able to help her. BUT HOLDING HER HAND IS STILL IMPORTANT BRO - YOU ARE THERE BY HER SIDE AND SHE KNOWS YOU LOVE HER, AND PROBABLY KNOWS YOURE STRESSING UNABLE TO FIX THINGS.
I do pray that you guys will have some positive results and can hopefully turn the corner and your girl can start to live her life again. My mrs is in a bad way too atm, and for her age, its not good whats going wrong. I too feel inept sometimes cos I cannot solve the problem, I like to be in control of my life and when its upto someone else, I sometimes feel that they do not know how to properly or understand how bad her situation is and what action needs to be taken.
Time and time again here, our local Dr's have been laclustre in their diagnosis of things, and they dont really put their all into resolving some things that they dismiss easily, which , when combined with the other symptoms, could possibly be a dangerous combo and therefore be another reason as to what is causing the issue..
But I am glad to hear from ya mate, as alot of guys here have been awaiting on some hopefully good news for Y. As hard as it is, just try to make your girl smile.. If you can make her happy in a time such as this well thats something to cherish, a smile is worth a thousand words.
Sorry to hear bout the bullshit ya had with ya plants too! Thats gotta piss ya off alittle - BUT BET IT MADE YA HAPPY WHEN HE SAID ITS THE BEST HE S SEEN!! ya gotta admit mate, theyre friggin huge monsters so its not hard to see why he thought maybe ya had a monster SCROG Thats cool as..
WELL JAMES< I HOPE TO HEAR SOME GOOD NEWS SOON MATE- KEEP POSITIVE, NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE EVEN IF AT FIRST ITS CHALLENGING. We can only be there for our wives and love them as much as we can, sometimes we just have to endure a little hardship before we find some relief.. Sorry, I hope you dont take that the wrong way. I, in no way want your Mrs to go thru anymore pain or such mate.
TAKE CARE, Rest up and we will hear from you when you have time mate. But glad you dropped in again mate. Best wishes t Yarrow from me and my family, and look after yourself too, dont run urself into the ground. She needs you strong too Chat soon bro. Smokemup
