Note the stupid little ticker at the bottom of her post. i don't know which is more stupid..her thinking her pen pal would actually get his Homies involved with this shit or her putting that stupid ticker in her signature! My Husband loves reading and sharing these bitch's forum posts so i print them off for him.
Never been so creeped out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think this was my last straw - I'm pretty sure my Coleman PP and I are done writing. How the HELL does this even happen!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! So yesterday I go to my mailbox and found a letter from some random guy, in the same facility as my PP (coleman) The guy writes that he got my address from someone. I confront my PP, cursing at him and ready to start WW3 when he tells me he never gave nobody my address and demanded to know who the guy was (he believed the guy stole my address from him) So today, gangs confront, a riot almost breaks out all because this guy wrote to me. BUT THENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN the guy says he got my name and address from a magazine. A magazine with ads of females who want to write to prisoners with a picture of me and everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never in my entire existence EVER put an ad in no magazine or anywhere else for that matter with ANY company. I am not sure if I should be sad that my PP doesn't believe me, or if I should be mad as hell that my name and address are in some random magazine circulating a prison!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so frustrated right now. Soooooo frustrated!!!!!!!!!

Life is truly one of the most amazing journeys I have ever been on. Too blessed to be stressed![url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/]~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turns out the guy was lying. See, when the confrontation happened, the rivals had a magazine, with ads in it so my PP assumed they were telling the truth. When it was talked about just the 2 "head guys" (my pp and the other guy) they realized that the guy was lying, and all I was told is the he was dealt with by his own. Only reason I brought the letter up to him is I thought he gave out my address. We got into an argument a few weeks back, and I thought maybe he gave it to someone or threw out my letters and some random found my address - either way I'm happy I told him cause this guy can't be stealing people's stuff (addresses) and now he hopefully knows that and won't do it again. I def over reacted on him and should have asked first instead of assuming, so I guess I learnt something from this. Thank goodness for emails and phone calls. It was all settled and ok within a few hoursWe are good now and we both agreed to believe each other over what we hear and always ask before assuming - on both our parts. Thanks for letting me vent though
So both guys are in separate gangs? I am glad that no one got seriously hurt off the back of a misunderstanding. Would hate the be the mother or sister of a guy who lost all priviledges and ended up in seg after a fight just because someone else accused an inmate of giving away an address.
OK, I'm sorry that this is going to seem a little like bragging, but there are so few people that would CARE and even less that would be supportive. After 2 years and some change, Hubby and I are FINALLY going to have our honeymoon!!!!We were approved towards the end of last month and we've set a date for 10/18-10/21. So when I say honeymoon I mean HONEYMOON. A whole weekend, in a house, alone. I get to bring food for the weekend - we get to cook, watch TV, et cetera, et cetera.
I can bring home movies if I send them in advance to be screened. I have so much going on, I don't think I'll be that ambitious, but maybe for the next one. I am going to be a bundle of nerves. Like HELLA nervous! Anyway, I just wanted to share.

Re: Love across the ocean... Love behind bars...
I'd only met my husband face to face once before we got married, and we'd discussed getting married even before we had actually seen each other that way. I'm glad that we did wait, and so is he, but we don't think for us it would have made much difference. I DID know him before his crime, but not for very long, and that was on the computer and through calls (many very long calls) and sending written letters as well. That was 9 years ago, and we've been married for 6 1/2 years. We've spent about 100 hours in each other's company, face to face, sometimes with glass between us but mostly not, over the past 7 years. I think ac2702, you are over analysing it all, and if it was love, you'd know. Sask is right, no one else can answer it for you, and you either will have the courage to take the plunge and commit - with all the hardships that brings - or you will decide you cannot commit. I would say, if the guy is up for parole soon, wait til you know the outcome of that before making any decisions. And gooddog is absolutely right, the loving part is easy, it's the logistical and practical parts that are the obstacles, and those can be huge mountains to climb. I never had any doubt that I loved my husband from day one. But we both have big doubts about what kind of life we are going to be able to live and even if we'll be able to live it together in the traditional sense when he gets out. We already have an "alternative" lifestyle and we both expect to continue to have one when he is released, it could be that we have to invest in a home for him there without me living there permenantly (looks the most like scenario at the moment), and he is concerned that even though he feels ready for it now, after another 10 years inside he may not be as strong mentally to avoid all the temptations he will have to avoid on the outside. And unless I win the lottery, I'm never going to be able to retire, because I'll have to keep working to support us both for as long as necessary, and to pay for all the travelling etc. So you see, the logistics of the relationship will be unique to you and him. Only you and him can decide this, not anyone else.
