THIS IS AN ANSWER TO "NOTTY 1'S" COMMENT........
JIMMY AND I ARE BOTH SADDENED THAT YOU ARE UPSET ABOUT OUR PROSPERITY.....
WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOME PEOPLE MAY BE ANGRY, BUT WE BOTH DO NOT FIT THE TEMPLATE OF A NORMAL INMATE.
JIMMY HAS WORKED SINCE HE WAS 14 YEARS OLD..........HE HAS WORKED HARD HIS WHOLE LIFE..........HE IS WELL EDUCATED, AND HAS HIGHER DEGREES OF EDUCATION......HIS WHOLE LIFE WAS BASED ON A CAREER.
AS FOR ME, I ALSO WORKED CONTINUOSLY FOR 28 YEARS. I ALSO HAVE HIGH DEGREES OF EDUCATION............AN ADN, A BSN, A MASTERS DEGREE, AND I AM CURRENTLY A DOCTORAL STUDENT AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY...........
JIMMY AND I HAVE EARNED VERY GOOD SALARIES, OUR WHOLE LIFE, THROUGH HARD WORK. WE ARE NOT PEOPLE THAT SIT AND SMOKE CIGARRETES ALL DAY, AND DRINK A SIX PACK OF BEER..............WE ARE HARD WORKERS.
WHILE IN PRISON, JIMMY WAS IN A HALF-WAY HOUSE FOR 2.6 YEARS. EVEN DURING THAT TIME, HE HAD A JOB. HE WORKED 6 DAYS A WEEK. HE WORKED 8-10 HOURS PER DAY, AND TRAVELED 4 HOURS BACK AND FORTH TO WORK ON MASS TRANSIT.
WHEN JIMMY WENT TO PRISON, 3.6 YEARS AGO, WE ALREADY OWNED 2 HOMES....1 IN LAS VEGAS, AND 1 IN NEW JERSEY......
WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PROGRESSIVE PEOPLE. WE HAVE SAVED AND INVESTED MONEY OUR WHOLE LIVES............
AND NOW, THE PAROLE OFFICER COMES TO OUR HOUSE EVERY 1-2 WEEKS.......SHE DROPS IN WITH NO ADVANCE NOTICE.......
SHE COMES IN THE HOUSE AND EITHER FINDS ME ALONE, OR JIMMY IS HERE.
SHE FINDS A NICE CLEAN HOUSE..............VASES OF BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS THAT JIMMY BUYS ME..........MAINLY ROSES.............THE DOG, PRINCE SO HAPPY AND WELL FED, AND THE 2 CATS HAPPY, AND WELL FED. THE PAROLE OFFICER FINDS OUR BEAUTIFUL CARS SITTING OUTSIDE OUR HOUSE.............SHE FINDS THE HOUSE STOCKED WITHFOOD.............THE AROMA OF FOOD COOKING.............EVERYTHING IN IT'S PLACE, AND A HAPPY HOUSEHOLD.
THE PAROLE OFFICER KNOWS WE ARE BUYING THE HOUSE..................SHE KNOWS ABOUT JIMMY'S JOB............ABOUT OUR NEW CAR.
SO, WE ARE VERY HAPPY, AND EVERYTHING IS GOING VERY WELL................I AM SORRY IF YOU MISUNDERSTOOD.................
BUT NOW YOU CAN SEE, THAT EVEN IF YOU OR YOUR HUSBAND GO TO PRISON FOR A CRIME, YOU CAN SOON STRAIGHTEN YOUR LIFE OUT, WHEN YOU COME OUT.
YESTERDAY, WE WENT TO SUNDAY MASS. THEN WE WENT OUT TO DINNER.....
I AM NOW READING A BOOK, BY DR. WAYNE DWYER. IT IS ABOUT KEEPING BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE. I HAVE READ MANY BOOKS BY HIM. I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT IT HERE, TODAY, BUT I GOT SIDE-TRACKED. I HOPE TOMORROW I WILL TALK ABOUT HIS BOOK..............HIS THOUGHTS IN THAT BOOK ARE EXACTLY WHAT JIMMYAND I HAVE BELIEVED OUR WHOLE LIFE.............................
THAT IS, IF YOU DWELL ON NEGATIVE THOUGHTS, YOU WILL ONLY ATTRACT NEGATIVITIES TO YOURSELF.........................IF YOU DWELL ON POVERTY, YOU WILL ATTRACT POVERTY TO YOUSELF..............
I'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THIS LATER................

Are you really that shallow? No one is jealous of your prosperity....we just find it extremely tacky to discuss how much things cost. People with class know that isn't the proper thing to do.
I personally hope you are both happy....you went through alot to get to where you are today.
Take care.
I agree with pipercharmed and notty. You come across as a pompous poo poo. Take it from the poowoohoo. I mainly follow your journal for my daily laugh. What really shocks me is how many of your followers support your cock and bull. take off your rose colored glasses and learn to take comments you consider negative and learn from them.
I've commented before and I have to do so again. DILLUSIONAL. I have a feeling this journal is 80% fiction. Somewhat entertaining though. Question is, do you really believe everything you write here??
Oh yeah, and are you saying that anyone who smokes or drinks beer cannot be a hard worker?? I'm sure that's exactly what you're saying because you've made ignorant comments before about overweight people, too, which is when I commented before. You must like all this attention...
I have been very upset for a while about your journal. Even more so recently. You have been coming across recently as if you should be put up on a pedestal for all of us to idolize. Its wonderful you and Jimmy have such a wonderful life now. BUT....you married a criminal. Nothing can change that. While most of us don't have expensive homes and cars, and live a fairy tale life, I don't think a lot of us have parole officers checking in on us either. I think you are coming across to a lot of J-landers with a "better-than-you" attitude. Truth being, you are looking at life through rose colored glasses. You are married to a convicted criminal. How "better-than-you" does that really make you???
I have been lurking in the background reading your journal for the last year. I am sure your life has been difficult. However, every time I felt sorry for you , you became, as someone else said , "Pompous". I also have questioned your influx of large amounts of money while being the wife of an incarcerated man. Wondered why you could not order a pair of shoes via the internet for the three years you were shoeless. You do have some loyal but blind followers or fan club. I do believe you like all the attention.And now you have another fan, me. I read this journal as loyally as I read the comics on Sunday. Waiting for the next entry with bated breath.
I wonder if what you really have is prosperity or is it stashed booty from criminal days???
Fran: I have never seen this much uproar over your entries..however i have been reading your entries for almost 3 years now and i take from them what i needed and left what did not pertain to me. I'm trying to figure out why everyone is being so critical. I to am a wife to be of a inmate..We too had prosperous lifes before he went in and will continue once he comes home. I guess some people have preconceived motions about persons in prison. What ever that may be...we are all intitled to our own opinions and there is nothing wrong with that. I would try not to take this misunderstandings from others personally. Thier opinions are only that....opinions. Only you know what you have been through...only you know how much stronger you are now from it...and that's all that matters. God Bless
Fran,
I have read your blog your more than two years and would love to have responded before but you don't seem to do well with negative comment. Jimmy
must have saved a lot of money from his past job. The one he went to prison for. I understand it does pay well. I know you haven't worked in a while because you were trying to get disability and you have to be disabled two years to receive that.
Did you ever receive it? I am a nurse on disability and I wish I could make a recovery and get out like you. I thought you were almost on your death bed at times and I felt bad that you couldn't go see Jimmy.
I guess what I am saying is you can't have it both ways.
Why don't you write a new blog called Crime Pays. We could still love you and Jimmy but understand how you have all this on a four hundred dollar a week job.
I love you Fran but don't try to blow smoke up our ass now.
Linda in Carolina
