SHOVELING SNOW AT THE PRISON

JIMMY DIDN'T CALL TONITE AT 9:30 pm.HE USUALLY MAKES HIS LAST CALL TO ME AT THAT TIME, TO SAY GOOD-NITE, AND SO WE CAN BOTH PEACEFULLY FALL ASLEEP.  I KNOW WHY HE DIDN'T CALL..  THEY HAVE THE PRISONERS OUTSIDE IN THE EVENING SHOVELING THE SNOW!  THAT'S WHAT THEY DID YESTERDAY.  JIMMY HATES TO WEAR A COAT, BUT THEY GAVE HIM THIS BIG ORANGE COAT AND ORANGE HAT.  WE WERE LAUGHING THIS MORNING. I SAID,"DID THE COAT HAVE ORANGE STRIPS?! YOU'D LOOK GOOD IN ORANGE DOTS!" "NO GRACIE,IT IS SOLID ORANGE," HE SAID.  JIMMY LOVES TO CALL ME GRACIE.  NOT ONLY WAS THAT HIS MOTHERS NAME, BUT I KIND OF REMIND HIM OF GRACIE ALLEN..MY HUMOR IS LIKE HERS.  THE GUYS AT THE PRISON KNOW ME AS GRACIE!  "WHAT DID GRACIE DO TODAY?" THEY JOKE WITH HIM. SOMETIMES HE CALLS ME LUCY (LUCILLE BALL).........OH WELL, IT COMES NATURAL TO ME!!!!!    ..........IN THE PRISON, JIMMY WEARS AN ORANGE T-SHIRT OR SWEAT-SHIRT.  AT HOME, HE IS BARE-CHESTED MOST OF THE TIME....BETTER TO SNUGGLE INTO HIS CHEST THAT WAY!.........I TOOK PRINCE OUT ON THE PATIO TODAY, FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES.  HE JUST LOVES THE SNOW!  HE GOT SNOW ALL OVER HIS FACE.  HE SMELLS IT, LICKS IT, AND JUST GETS ALL EXCITED ABOUT IT.  PRINCE IS MOSTLY BORDER-COLLIE, SO HE IS A VERY FRISKIE AND ACTIVE DOG!   I CHECKED HIS LITTLE PAWS, AND THEY WERE COLD, SO WE WENT INSIDE.

SNOW HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!

WELL, IT FINALLY STARTED SNOWING!  I HOPE YOU'RE ALL HAPPY!  It's 1:30 a.m. THE WEATHERMAN AND RADIO STATIONS HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS STORM, AND A SECOND ONE TO FOLLOW, FOR DAYS ON END.  WELL, HORRAH, HORRAH!  IT'S HERE!  YOU CAN ALL HAVE YOUR JOLLIES PLAYING AND DRIVING IN THE SNOW, WHILE I SIT HERE ALL SNUGGLED UP NICE AND WARM WATCHING TV AND DRINKING HOT COCOA IN MY NICE WARM HOUSE! PRINCE, MISTY AND JIMBO SLEEP. I JUST MICRO-WAVED SOME POPCORN.  I WENT FOOD SHOPPING TODAY AND BOUGHT 15 BAGS OF FOOD.....JUST IN CASE I GET MAROONED IN THE HOUSE TILL THE SPRING!  PRINCE WAS SO HAPPY AS I LUGGED THE BAGS INTO THE HOUSE......"FOOD AND LOTS OF IT!"  SAID PRINCE, WITH A BIG SMILE ON HIS DOGGIE FACE.....CASES OF CAT FOOD AND A 10 LB. BAG OF WHISKAS.  I CAN ALWAYS SURVIVE ON RICE, HOME-MADE SOUPS......BUT THE KIDS , THAT'S A DIFFERENT STORY.  THEY ARE ALL FUSSY AND HAVE TO HAVE JUST WHAT THEY WANT. SO MY BABIES COME FIRST!  THE WEATHER IS A BIG ISSUE WITH MY HUSBAND AND I.  POINT BLANK, I HATE IT HERE.  NOW, DON'T GET ME WRONG!  I LOVE NEW JERSEY. IT IS A BEAUTIFUL STATE WITH A LOT TO OFFER.  I WAS BORN HERE AND WENT TO SCHOOL HERE. I JUST DON'T LIKE SNOW..AND HUMIDITY IN THE SUMMER.  SNOW IS BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT.  IT JUST DOESN'T AGREE WITH MY BODY...MY BONES AND MUSCLES AND NERVE-ENDINGS.  ON THE EAST COAST WE HAVE GREAT UNIVERSITIES, EDUCATION, THEATRE, CULTURE, RESTAURANTS....GREENERY, MOUNTAINS...THE LIST GOES ON.  THE WEST IS ALSO WONDERFUL. YOU CAN'T BEAT THE CLIMATE, SCENERY, BLUE SKIES...THE DESERT , THE OCEAN, THE MOUNTAINS.  EACH COAST IS BEAUTIFUL IN ITSELF. YOU JUST CAN'T DENY THAT FACT......BUT HERE I GO AGAIN, I JUST CAN'T HANDLE THE BITTER COLD AND SNOW AND ICE, AS I GET OLDER...................SOOOOOOOOO, I GUESS LAS VEGAS WINS!!!!...............AND, "THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS!" $$$$$$$$$

 

A SAD DAY AT THE PRISON

YESTERDAY WAS A SAD DAY AT THE PRISON. ONE OF THE INMATES WIVES DIED....UNEXPECTEDLY....AT THE AGE OF 31. SHE LEAVES BEHIND A YOUNG CHILD. FOR JIMMY'S ENTIRE INCARCERATION, THE ONE QUESTION I ALWAYS ASKED HIM WAS 'WHAT HAPPENS IF AN INMATE'S WIFE GETS VERY SICK, OR GOD FORBIDE DIES?  IS HE LET OUT TO SEE HER OR GO TO HER FUNERAL? " JIMMY COULD NEVER GIVE ME A STRAIGHT ANSWER....WELL YESTERDAY I FOUND OUT...THE INMATE CANNOT GO TO HIS WIFE'S FUNERAL....SIMPLE AND TO THE POINT.  HE WAS GIVEN AN OPTION, EITHER STAY ON THE FARM, OR GO TO THE MAIN PRISON, IN   "LOCK-UP." (meaning be put in a locked jail cell). BARELY ANY SUPPORT WAS GIVEN TO HIM. ONLY A SOCIAL WORKER SAW HIM ONCE. MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN WITH HIM, TALKING AND LISTENING TO HIM..AND TRYING TO SUPPORT HIM....WHAT A TERRIBLE SHAME. THIS YOUNG MAN WILL LIVE WITH THIS FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.  HE WILL HAVE NO CLOSURE TO HIS WIFE'S DEATH.  HE WILL BE RELEASED FROM PRISON IN A FEW MONTHS, ONLY TO GO BACK TO AN EMPTY WORLD. THIS WOMAN WAS NOT FROM THE STREET. SHE WAS A CHRISTIAN WOMAN, WHO WENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR A SIMPLE OPERATION..A D&C. SHE BECAME SEPTIC. THE ANTIBX DID NOT WORK, AND SHE DIED. PLEASE REMEMBER HER AND HER HUSBAND IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TODAY....THANK YOU SO MUCH.

......'MY PRAYER".......

DEAR LORD,

I PRAY TODAY FOR THE SOUL OF THIS YOUNG WOMAN....THAT SHE HAS FOUND HER PLACE WITH YOU...THAT SHE IS SURROUNDED BY LOVE AND PEACE, IN THE GLORY OF YOUR PRESENCE. SHE WAS A GOOD WIFE AND MOTHER, DURING HER SHORT LIFE HERE ON EARTH.  AND ESPECIALLY SEND STRENGTH AND PROTECTION TO HER HUSBAND WHO IS INCARCERATED. SURROUND HIM WITH THE LIGHT AND THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.  TAKE THIS BURDEN FROM HIS HEART.  LET HIM KNOW THAT HIS WIFE IS AT PEACE. MAKE HIS FAITH IN YOU EVEN STRONGER DURING THESE TRYING TIMES.  WE ASK FOR BLESSINGS TO ALSO BE SHED UPON HIS BABY AND FAMILY. ALL THIS , LORD, WE ASK IN YOUR NAME.............AMEN

      

 

LIFE IN LAS VEGAS

......LIFE GOES ON.......IT'S VERY COLD HERE.......IN THE TEENS OR LOWER. MORE SNOW IS ON THE WAY!  WHAT FUN! JIMMY CALLED ME WHILE I WAS OUT WALKING PRINCE AND WARMING UP OUR 2 CARS. HE GETS SCARED WHEN I DON'T ANSWER THE PHONE, SO NOW I'M UNDER STRICT INSTRUCTIONS TO CARRY MY CELL PHONE AT ALL TIMES WHEN I GO OUTSIDE. PRISON CALLS CANNOT BE MADE TO A CELL PHONE. BUT I HAVE A SPRINT PHONE THAT WILL TRANSFER THE CALLS TO ME. HE'LL MAKE HIS LAST CALL FOR TODAY AT 9:30 pm, AS EVERY NITE. AT THAT TIME HE IS LISTENING TO LARRY KING ON HIS RADIO....NOW, MORE ABOUT OUR LIFE IN LAS VEGAS! THE DAY AFTER WE GOT MARRIED, WE DROVE TO PALM SPRINGS,CALIFORNIA, AND WENT TO THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS ON THE ARIAL TRAMWAY. LIFE BECAME A ROMANTIC WHIRLWIND!  IT WAS A FAIRY TALE EXISTANCE! JIMMY TOLD ME THAT AS MY HUSBAND, HE WANTED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A HOME-LIFE OF LOVE, SAFETY, PROTECTION FROM THE MEAN CRUEL WORLD.......A PLACE OF JOY AND LOVE....AND THAT IS JUST WHAT IT WAS!  I FELT SO SAFE AND LOVED IN MY HOME! EVERYDAY...EVERYMINUTE...IF THERE IS EVEN ONE OTHER PERSON IN THE WORLD WHO HAS EXPERIENCED LOVE, AS WE HAVE, I WILL FEEL HAPPY!...SO, WE WENT TO SHOWS, CASINOS, BUFFETS, AND RESTAURANTS. THE WATER FOUNTAIN SHOW ON CHRISTMAS DAY, AT THE BELLAGIO(water fountains dance to music), WAS SO ROMANTIC....THEN, DINNER AT THE PARIS, OVERLOOKING THE DANCING FOUNTAINS...AND I DO MEAN DINNER!...LIKE A 9 COURSE FRENCH MEAL...GOOD FOOD, WINE!  I WAS TREATED LIKE A PRINCESS!!  THE WAITERS, THE FOOD!...MY HUSBAND HOLDING MY HAND ACROSS THE TABLE THE WHOLE TIME!..JIMMY LOVES TO GAZE AT ME..INTO MY EYES.......AND I LOVE TO GAZE AT HIM!! SHIVERS GO THRU ME ALL THE TIME WHEN I SEE OR THINK OF JIMMY. PEOPLE SAID IT WOULD DECREASE AS TIME GOES ON, HOWEVER, IT ONLY INCREASES, EVEN NOW.  THEN, HE TOOK ME TO BUY ME A WEDDING GIFT!..A BEAUTIFUL BLACK JAGUAR XR...SPORTS...HE BOUGHT ME TO THE PORSCHE/JAGUAR DEALER.  EVEN IN THERE, I WAS TREATED LIKE A PRINCESS!..AS WE LOOKED AT ALL THE CARS AND WE HAD SO MUCH FUN.  IN MY NEXT ENTRY, I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT BUYING 'THE JAG."  AS YOU CAN SEE, JIMMY DOES THINGS FAST. HE MAKES A DECISION IN A SPLIT SECOND, HE BOUGHT THAT JAG WITHIN 20 MINTES! I LIKE THAT QUALITY IN A MAN.  HE IS FAST AND ALWAYS HAS THE UPPER HAND.

it's snowing....again

IT'S 3:00 am,and I can't sleep.. .and it's snowing again..I live in South Jersey...15 minutes from the beach....it's pretty here...i live in a gated community in the woods...it's in a circle...amongst the beautiful pine trees.In the fall and summer, I would go outside and walk 2-4 miles per day. I became part of nature..I was part of the birds and the squirrels and the deer.  I sat on benches and wrote poetry and haikus to the trees. I watched the leaves turn from green to gold.  I knew by looking at the sun, just what time of day it was.I'd take my camera along and take pix.I was one with something I love...nature, that is.  And no one, but no one could take that away from me.......not laws, not legal systems..not dusty courtrooms...not judges, not attorneys.............I was alone with God and nature.  I was part of the world, the way it really is. No one could seperate me from the trees, the birds, the sky, the protective sun. In reality, all the lawyers and judges are jealous of me.......because. "I am a free-spirit.".......i am, and always have been that way. When this is all over, we'll go back to the Southwest desert..Nevada. We miss it so much. I was part of the desert, as I had lived there for 10 years.The orange sunrises and sunsets, everyday. the sky always blue.  the dry heat. The peace and tranquility of the desert. Everyone thinks Las Vegas is only glitze and glamour......but it is more, much more........simply put, "IT IS THE DESERT."..a place you can find your soul...one only has to live there to understand it.  when you live in las vegas, it almost has nothing to do with the casino's....well, i guess i love both of my homes......las vegas and new jersey......i have the best of both worlds.......now, if i only had jimmy in my arms, everything would be perfect........

A STRANGE EXISTENCE......

LIVING LIKE THIS IS A STRANGE WAY TO LIVE......I LIVE FOR THE PHONE CALLS.....IT'S LIKE I'M ALMOST NON-EXISTANT...I LIVE IN SOME STRANGE PLACE....LIKE ANOTHER DIMENSION IN TIME.  TRY AS I MAY, I CAN'T HELP TO LOOK FORWARD FOR THE DAY TO BEGIN, AND THE DAY TO END.  I LIVE IN MY OWN EXISTANCE, YOU SEE.  I AM UNLIKE YOU.  BUT IT'S OKAY..IT'S CALLED DEVOTION AND LOVE.  I ONLY WAIT FOR JIMMY TO COME HOME.  I KEEP THE HOUSEHOLD GOING.  I FEED THE 2 CATS AND DOG...I WALK PRINCE.  I MAKE SURE THEY ARE WELL-FED AND HAPPY.  I MAINTAIN OUR HOME...IN BALANCE AND HARMONY...AND I WRITE!  I LOVE TO WRITE!  I MAILED 5 SHORT STORIES TODAY, AND LATER I'M WRITING A "LETTER TO THE EDITOR " ABOUT THE PRISON SYSTEM.  WRITING IS WHAT KEEPS ME GOING. IT CLEARS MY MIND...KEEPS MY ENERGIES FOCUSED.  ALLOWS ME TO EXPRESS MYSELF.  I HAVE WRITTEN 4 CHAPTERS OF A FICTIONAL NOVEL I AM WRITING.  I HAVE GOTTEN 3 POEMS PUBLISHED, AND A LETTER TO THE EDITOR IN A LOCAL NEWSPAPER, ABOUT TREATMENT OF THE BLIND, WHEN OUT IN PUBLIC.  THE BEST IS, JIMMY AND I HAVE WRITTEN A TRUE STORY WHICH WILL BE PUBLISHED IN A WELL-KNOWN MAGAZINE IN THE MARCH 2004 EDITION.  WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT. OUR PIX WILL APPEAR AND THE STORY IS ILLUSTRATED.  IT WAS A DREAM COME TRUE, WHEN THE EDITOR IN MANHATTAN CALLED ME AND SAID.."WE'VE BEEN SITTING HERE AT MY DESK WAITING FOR A STORY LIKE YOURS TO COME IN.  THOUSANDS OF STORIES PASS THROUGH MY DESK EACH MONTH, BUT YOURS IS SPECIAL." WE ARE STILL BOTH WALKING ON AIR, AND FEEL TOTALLY BLESSED BY THIS. WELL, I GUESS YOU ARE WONDERING WHAT CRIME JIMMY COMMITTED.  I WON'T KEEP YOU IN SUSPENCE ANY LONGER!  IT IS A COMMON CRIME IN OUR COUNTRY.  HE IMPORTED 800 LBS. OF MARAJUANA. NOW, HERE IS THE BIGGEST JOKE.  ARE YOU READY TO HEAR THIS? JIMMY HAS NEVER SMOKED, TAKEN DRUGS, AND DOESN'T DRINK.  WE LAUGH..HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT POT IS LIKE.....I SAid "AT LEAST YOU SHOULD HAVE TRIED IT ONCE, BEFORE GETTING ARRESTED! NO, HE NEVER HAS, AND NEVER WILL. THE WHOLE WORLD SMOKES POT, AND IT IS NO SECRET.  HOWEVER, WE ARE UNDER CLOSE OBSERVATION, SO WE REALLY CAN'T EVEN JOKE ABOUT THIS.  IT IS NO JOKE..IT IS SERIOUS. IT IS A CRIME IN THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT'S THAT.  NO TWO WAYS ABOUT IT..YOU JUST FOLLOW THE LAWS.

.........SNOWFLAKES.....

I'M HERE AT HOME IN NEW JERSEY, SURROUNDED BY LOTS OF SNOW AND COLD, COLD, TEMPS. I MADE SURE I HAVE PLENTY OF FOOD FOR MY 2 CATS, MISTY AND JIMBO, AND PRINCE MY DOG.THERE'S LOTS OF FOOD IN THE HOUSE, SO AS FOR ME, I'LL JUST SIT HERE AND LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND SIP CUPS OF HOT TEA.AND OF COURSE, WRITE..WHICH I LOVE TO DO...."THE GARDEN STATE IS NOW IN A DEEP FREEZE!"  JIMMY WILL CALL ME AT 10 A.M. THAT'S ALWAYS HIS FIRST CALL, TO WAKE ME UP.  HE LIKES THE SOUND OF MY SLEEPY VOICE.HE GETS UP AT 6AM, HE SHARES A ROOM WITH 3 OTHERS,SHOWERS,EATS TERRIBLE PRISON FOOD, AND GOES TO WORK, TEACHING THE GED.HE WRITES A LOT N PRISON.  HE HAS WRITTEN SEVERAL CHAPTERS OF A FICTION NOVEL, ABOUT THE ADVENTURES OF A BAILBONDSMAN.HE SENDS IT TO ME, AND I TYPE IT UP,AND KEEP IT IN A FILE. HE WROTE 3 ESSAYS AND WON A CONTEST IN PRISON ALL 3 TIMES. IT WAS OUT OF 45 PRISONERS.ONE STORY WAS ABOUT CHARLIE CHAPLIN. WELL, CONTINUING THE STORY OF OUR MEETING IN LAS VEGAS..JIMMY CAME BACK TO ME ON APRIL 28..IT WAS A SAT. NITE, 11PM..I PICKED HIM UP AT THE AIRPORT..HIM AND 2 FRIENDS..THE NEXT DAY WE WENT DOWNTOWN AND GOT OUR MARRIAGE LICENSE. I WAS WALKING ON AIR! WE GOT MARRIED AT 11:45 PM,RIGHT BEFORE MIDNIGHT, AT THE JUSTICE OF PEACE, DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS. JIMMY LIKES TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY, SO WE GOT MARRIED RIGHT BEFORE MIDNIGHT. IT WAS ALL BEAUTIFUL..I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. IT WAS ALL SIMPLE. NOTHING FANCY. LARRY WAS OUR BEST MAN. JIMMY GAVE ME A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS...SIMPLE AND DIRECT....THAT'S HOW WE LIKED IT...WE GOT MARRIED FOR LOVE..NOT FOR SHOW. BIG WEDDINGS ARE OK..THEY ARE PARTY OCCASIONS, WITH FESTIVITIES AND FANFARE. WE WENT HOME, AND JUST COULDN'T WAIT TO BE ALONE.  NEED I SAY MORE?   HIS 2 FRIENDS TOOK MY CAR AND WENT TO THE "STRIP."  MY FRIEND, "V,"WHO LIVED DOWN THE STREET, HE WENT HOME TOO....AND JIMMY AND I CUDDLED UP IN BED, AND WE WERE NEVER SO HAPPY!.

in love with jimmy......and life

I FEEL HAPPY TODAY.....OR SHOULD I SAY HAPPIER, THAN I'VE FELT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS.  JIMMY AND I HAD SOME GOOD CONVERSATIONS ON THE PHONE TODAY...WE TALK, WE JOKE...AS BEST WE CAN WITH PHONE CALLS BEING MONITORED AND RECORDED!  EVEN A LITTLE SEX TALK, BUT I KINDA WONDER JUST HOW MUCH THEY ALLOW, SO WE KEEP IT AT A MINIMUM. CONTINUING ABOUT OUR FIRST MEETING...WELL, WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE EVERYDAY, AND 2 WEEKS LATER, HE FLEW TO VEGAS ON BUSINESS. HE WAS WITH 2 BUSINESS PARTNERS. HE ASKED ME TO PICK HIM UP AT THE AIRPORT.I TRIED , BUT BARELY KNOWING WHAT HE LOOKED LIKE, I SOMEHOW MISSED HIM. THEY RENTED A CAR AND WENT TO THEIR DESTINATION. HE CALLED ME AND I WAS IN TEARS. HE SAID,"GET IN THE CAR AND DRIVE HERE TO ME." I FOLLOWED HIS PRECISE DIRECTIONS, AND WOUND UP 35 MILES NORTH OF LAS VEGAS, IN A LITTLE TOWN, BORDERING AREA 51.IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF THE DESERT. MY FRIENDS AT WORK HAD TOLD ME DON'T DO IT. DON'T MEET HIM. PEOPLE GET HURT THAT WAY. I KNEW IT. I'M NOT STUPID. BUT I SOMEHOW KNEW THIS MAN AND TRUSTED HIM.I THEN STAYED WITH HIM FOR 3 DAYS IN THE MOTEL.WE WERE INSEPERABLE FROM THE START. IT WAS AS IF WE KNEW EACH OTHER FROM MANY PAST LIFETIMES.WE WERE JUST WAITING TO MEET AGAIN,HERE AND NOW.SOULMATES...I KINDA HATE THAT WORD..BUT THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE.WE HAD SO MANY SIMILARITIES FROM OUR PAST LIVES IT WAS INCREDIBLE. WE ARE BOTH ITALIAN AND WERE BORN AND GREW UP IN NEIGHBORING TOWNS. WE ARE 2 YEARS APART IN AGE AND WERE NEVER MARRIED BEFORE. I WAS A GRADUATE OF AN IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY.... AND SO, AFTER 3 DAYS OF BEING TOGETHER, JIMMY FLEW BACK TO JERSEY.HE ARRIVED MONDAY MORNING.  "I'M COMING BACK THERE TO MARRY YOU IN A FEW WEEKS," WERE HIS FIRST WORDS ON THE PHONE. "THE SOONER THE BETTER,"I REPLIED. DURING THAT WEEKEND JIMMY HAD TOLD ME ALL ABOUT THE CRIME HE COMMITTED. HE TOLD ME HE WOULD HAVE TO GO TO TURN HIMSELF IN AND GO TO PRISON. IT NEVER PHASED ME. I LOVED HIM, AND THAT WAS IT. PERIOD. I KNEW NOTHING, ABSOLUTLY NOTHING ,ABOUT CRIMINALS AND THE PRISON SYSTEM. I HAD LIVED IN ANOTHER WORLD MY WHOLE LIFE.  NEXT TIME, I'LL TELL YOU HOW JIMMY CAME BACK 6 WEEKS LATER, AND ABOUT OUR MARRIAGE IN LAS VEGAS, AND OUR EXCITING LIFE IN VEGAS! HOW WE "HUNG OUT" IN OUR HOME IN VEGAS, WHILE THE POLICE WATED FOR HIM TO RETURN TO N.J. TO ARREST HIM.

WHIRLWINDS OF LOVE.......

I'M SO IN LOVE...IN LOVE WITH MY HUSBAND......I KNOW THAT SOUNDS STRANGE!!!!......I FEEL HIM ALL OVER ME, AND ALL AROUND ME.  HE WHISPERED SWEET LOVE THINGS IN MY EAR, A LITTLE WHILE AGO ON THE PHONE...WHEN HE IS HOME,  WE NORMALLY MAKE LOVE ALL DAY, EVERY DAY....ROUND THE CLOCK!......WE'RE ONE OF THOSE COUPLES YOU SEE FRENCH KISSING IN PUBLIC.  PEOPLE WALK OVER TO US, WITH BIG SMILES AND SAY, "GEE, IT'S SO NICE TO SEE PEOPLE IN LOVE!"  PEOPLE TELL US "WE GLOW!"  WELL, I AM A 40 YEAR OLD WOMAN HAVING SEVERAL ORGASMS A DAY....I GUESS I AM GLOWING!......AND "FYI," I CAN PASS FOR 30!  I STILL HAVE A SWEET, INNOCENT LOOK ABOUT ME!....THAT.S WHY MY "CRIMINAL" HUSBAND FELL IN LOVE WITH ME!  HE IS MY DADDY, AND TAKES CARE OF ME....EVEN IN PRISON, HE CONTROLS ME...I JUST LOVE IT!  AND, UNLIKE MOST WOMEN, I LISTEN TO MY HUSBAND.......HE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD, AND IN ANY OTHER GALAXY, FOR THAT MATTER!  I'M 4'10, AND JIMMY IS 5'9"...AROUND 300 LBS.......I LOVE BIG STRONG MEN.  HE KEEPS ME NICE AND WARM, AS I CUDDLE NEAR HIM.

  WE MET ON-LINE.  I LIVED IN LAS VEGAS......HE IN NEW JERSEY.  HE WAS A BAILBONDSMAN........AND PLEASE DON'T LAUGH!..YES, HE WAS THE ONE WHO BAILED PEOPLE OUT OF JAIL.  HE KNOWS THE LAW, BETTER THAN YOU KNOW YOUR OWN NAME.  BUT, HE MADE A MISTAKE, ALONG THE WAY OF LIFE.  HE COMMITTED HIS CRIME BEFORE HE KNEW ME....ANYWAY, WE TALKED ON THE PHONE RIGHT AWAY..ON THE SECOND DAY, I ASKED HIM,  "DO YOU LOVE ME?"  HE WOULD NOT ANSWER THAT.  ON THE THIRD DAY HE GAVE ME HIS ANSWER..LOVE YOU,"HE SAID.

MY HUSBAND, THE PRISONER

WE'VE DECIDED TO CUT DOWN ON OUR PHONECALLS.  MY MONTHLY PHONE BILLS FOR AT&T ARE BETWEEN $700-$800/MONTH.  THAT'S NOT INCLUDING MY CELL PHONE AND LOCAL PHONE.  I SPOKE TO OUR ATTORNEY ON MONDAY.  HE'S STILL WORKING ON ISP(HOUSE ARREST).  JIMMY WAS SUPPOSSED TO COME HOME LAST AUGUST.  IT IS NOW ALMOST 10 MONTHS.I WOULDN'T MIND, BUT I'M ALL ALONE. I LEFT OUR HOUSE IN LAS VEGAS TO COME HERE TO NEW JERSEY, SO JIMMY COULD TURN HIMSELF IN.  I HAVE NO FRIENDS OR FAMILY.  I'M DEPRESSED NOW, BUT IN A FEW DAYS, I'LL TELL YOU HOW WONDERFUL OUR LIFE HAS BEEN
