Part of Old Religion- Seattle ❤️

Florence's music, like many, has helped me through a lot in my life. But Everybody Scream was more, the last 5 years have been a rollercoaster of hell for me and my child. Where everything is out of my control but I have to be strong and carry on. Fighting the medical system, research, finding go arounds and so much therapy and surgery. And then you add the dumpster fire of our country in, as they actively try to rip away my rights as women.

Sympathy Magic and old religion became my anthem through the days. Being able to hear both live was a dream, the whole concert was a dream.

I know she wont see this but thank you Florence, your words mean so much and you have no idea how many times I've screamed Old Religion. The anger and passion of that song encompasses all my feelings.

"And I am wound so tightly

I hardly even breathe

You wonder why we're hungry for some kind of release

Watch me crawl on hands and knees

And scratch at the door of heaven"

"And I'm powerless, I know , don't remind me".

Quoted over $5000 for a 5 year termite prevention/treatment, is this average?

I live is northwest Arkansas, my house is about 1500 square feet. It's had previous prevention, but that 10 years ago.

I found termites(workers and warriors) in my garden bed.

About 20 ft+ from the house.

No present termite damage to trees around or house, they are most likely coming from my neighbors decaying shed.

But I don't want them to go to my shed which is next to the garden bed.

Any way called Orkin because that's who does our pest control.

They quotes us

$2437 for the initial treatment.

Then $440 for monitoring

Then 4x$440 for monitoring for 4 years.

So a total of 5 years of protection and treatment.

Plus their warranty if damage does happen.

It Is bait stakes and liquid trench treatment

Is this average right now in 2026?

Do we really need 5 years of monitoring?

Thank you!

I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON TREATING THEM, JUST IF THIS COST IS NORMAL.
