they must be monitoring then; the meter (previous and current) are digital. lol, what a headline!
"...breaking news. a woman was raided today, and found with five exotic reptiles in a high tech setup. it was obvious to police that this woman was growing and breeding reptiles to be sold at street value. officer john dowe has his remarks on the topic... 'yes lily, good to be here today. we were given a lead to this bust by the local power company. the woman has so many reptiles that she can't even afford the power, and was recieving aide. it's amazing what people think they can get away with. the world can rest a little easier with one more herp dealer shut down...'
"when questioned, the suspect had nothing to say, other than how upset she was that her dog was mistreated through the raiding process.
"in other news..."
:p
<thud>
Think about it folks, power companies have 100's of thousands to millions of customers (depends on area), and how MANY power company employees do you EVER see around ????......lol
For them to snoop around and get checking power usage YOU "popped up" because YOU are being a pain in their ass, not the other way around. This is 2007, people have jacuzzi's, plasma TV's, multiple computers, water beds, central HVAC systems, what the fuck ever that use SHITLOADS of power.
Not all of us are Al Gore followers (thank god) and are worried about our "carbon footprint" or whatever it is he rants about. Hell, my wife has no idea what the "off" side of a light switch is used for, and if she does, it must be against her religion to use it or something. Using "too much or excessive amounts" of power is ummmm, well, how much is "too much"?
That said, I am not saying that if you decide to run 12 1000 watters on a 18/6 schedule that you are not going to get someones attention. What I am simply saying is that you have to be using some ridiculous amount of power to raise someones brow.
To keep under their radar all you need to do is keep the bill paid ON TIME, EVERYTIME. Period, thats it. If you pay by debit to checking you are an account number that deposits money into their account once a month.
Your name does not make "Past Due Reports", "Complaint Lists", etc. I dont know of ANY business that fucks with paying customers.
As far as the dog, well, shit happens. And if you read the paperwork you originally signed when they provided power to you I am betting my ass that you MUST allow them reasonable access to THEIR meter. Reasonable access being the meter reader doesnt need to worry about gettin his balls chewed off by someones dawg.
Call a lawyer. I bet he tells you to get the dawg tied up and not let it be biting the meter reader or they will see YOU in court. The power companies attorney's would much sooner sue you for everything you have plus 250K while leaving you homeless than they would to have their workers comp insurance pay an employee because YOUR dog bit them.
SS you started this, and you know that. Now you just need to wait til the dust settles is all. There is not a conspiracy to "get you" because you are using more power than someone else. YOU gave them reason to start snooping around, didnt you?? Had you been paying your bill ontime they would never have had any reason to even look your way.
I almost fainted the day you posted that you asked for assistance to pay juice bill while you had a grow op going on. That took a set of nuts the size of Alaska, made out of titanium none the less. Not to mention being stupid.
If it gets to the point of them watching your usage, then you are already fucked. Someone has done ratted your ass out and at this point they are compiling evidence to make their case. "They" being the law.
Remember, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.......
Keepin it green,

lol, bonger, you are a trip.
i have checked the laws and policies about dogs, and i'm in the right with a fenced yard and signs and an external door bell. the also have my number to call me if they need to get in the yard. when we first moved in, we made this arangement with the power company. so the suit would not be on me. i've been through it before when someone was stealing stuff from my garage. my dog attacked them, the tried to sue, and have the dog quarantined. dog has had all shots, and is on record, and he did not have legal ground to stand on, as my property is posted, and warns of dogs.
as for the aid. i don't live alone, and unfortunately, we aren't always on the same page; i found out about the aid after they had already gone through with it. i proceeded to dismantle then (bonger, i think you remember that...) and cleaned everything out. now i'm anxious to see the outcome (i'm rather impatient :p)
thanx for the input!
your probably good then. like somone said up there ^^ they read it through a scope type deal. but if its the old analog meter they have to come to your property. and like bonger said, they have millions of customers...i guess its really up to you if you want to start up the op again. but if it was me...i would be super cautious!
they probably put an electronic meter on so they dont have to send a person to your place to read it, which probably means they are scared to death of your dog, you should raise a stink about the dog hitting and make sure they don't bother you again.
4x5.......ummm, if you are growing the LAST thing you do is make waves with ANYONE. That includes but not limited to power company, animal control, law enforcement, property inspectors, or any other mutherfucker that may even have a remote chance of causing you grief. If you believe any differently, then you are mistaken.
SS knows WHY she had/has the juice peeps poking around her place. It happened without her knowing. She just needs to chill for a while and let the shit settle back to the bottom, not keep stirring it. May even require her relocating, but I am sure she will make the appropriate decision when time comes.
If the dog healed and is not uncontrollably licking his ass or dry humping her leg 24/7, I'd say fuck it and keep my mouth shut. You need to realize that all those meter reader/inspector type peeps cross paths many times a month. Piss one off, you piss them all off. Then you are fucked.
Meter Guy runs into Animal Control guy at local lunch joint in town and says "You know that bitch that lives on 121212 Somplace Lane with that psycho fucking dog.......it tried to chew my right testicle off the other day. If you are in the area how about taking a look around"............Well fuck...........Now you not only got power peep up yer ass, animal control now has a throbbing hardon for you..............just fucking beautiful.....It can "snowball" on you quickly, very quickly.
SS was venting in her first few posts. Its no biggie. She knows the whats/why of her situation. She had to make some changes, and she did. She be all chilled now and standin by to stand by..............
Forever green,
b0nger:D :D :D

Under the radar........not center screen
bonger, you're right on the mark this time;
i had planned on not being able to grow, this thread has more than confirmed my belief. but....
there's nothing saying i can't veg a few out doors for a few months and bring them in for flower when it's all clear :p that's the nice thing about country living; plenty of places for outdoor grows. ;)
Hey sis I'm still lerking, and will touch on this a little later.
Hope you hang in there.
Adieu
hi bear! :D i feel special now :p
