Sounds like an outfit using very poor practices. One clarification about the REI of a pesticide. The REI you are referring to only applies to workers in agricultural or nursery sites and is not intended for other purposes. If you were pruning in a residential garden, the agricultural worker REIs are not legally applicable. The legal re-entry requirement for that kind of site should be listed separately on the label. For many products the typical legal requirement is to enter only after the applied product has completely dried.

I'm a little baffled at how you know what she's going to do at her doctor appointment. T.M.I. Anyway, it is her problem how she is going to get him on her weeks when he goes back to school. Just like her phone didn't work, she didn't answer it, whatever.... that can go both ways. If she gets a hold of your DH & he's at work, he needs to be able to tell her ~ "sorry LH is busy & can't do it... you said you'd take care of it so you need to figure it out!" otherwise she will just continue to screw up and expect you & your DH to take care of it. Your DH should probably also tell her that since she doesn't keep her word on agreements or when making exceptions to the order, that unfortunately he will not be able to stray from the order, even if it's a special occasion. He can say he'd love to be able to do that, but if it's only going to be one sided or if she is going to change the plan after she's gotten what she wants, then he can't do it anymore... SORRY! and if it comes down to she has no way to get SS on a regular basis & you do go get him, I'd bring him home & tell her that she can come get him when her DH gets home. I would NOT drive SS to her.. then there is NO incentive for her to make a plan.. the plan will be to let y'all do it... and sit there waiting for you to bring her son to her. and if she's like the crazies in my life, she'd b/tch about how you did it or that you took too long. (is my frustration showing much? lol) If it's an ongoing problem for her to pick up her son, maybe think about changing him to a school closer to your house. If you went to court, the Judge would either give her primary custody & let him go to school near her or give your DH custody & let him go to school near him... or worse case, the Judge could order your DH to transport all the time, which I would think is completely unfair but you never know what will happen when you go to court.

no Diane, its not the good luck junk mail that did this, it was the driver that didn't look both ways. I drive country roads every day, I know the crazy things that happen on blind curves and tops of hills. I'm so glad your dh is ok. You must be very worried about him.

Yeah, I'm just sick of everyone-well, not every everyone-jumping to the first conclusion that enters their mind. Obviously, I have no idea what this was or was not. Seems a bit unlikely to me though. Then again, I would not have expected twenty years ago that houses under construction would be having their copper plumbing removed for scrap resale. That still doesn't prove "who" is doing this though, or more importantly, what their motives are. I'm pretty sure that everyone needs money, not just those with addiction issues. +oM
