(Part 01 – there is a character limit for a single message, so I am breaking it up into two parts)
Harlan,
No problem on this. While I have not quite been in your situation, I have been in some pretty weird ones including a few years of homelessness and actually spending about 2 years at a homeless shelter that was actually an old prison. Weird. Anyway, I understand the way our society has marginalized people of all sorts and as a country there is this attitude of perpetual punishment for even the smallest infractions. And when people can’t find something to punish people for, they make stuff up. It drives me crazy. Just this morning I read an article about outlawing text messaging while riding a bike. Ok yeah, it is a stupid thing to do, but to make it criminal? Please. Classic example of a legislator using their bully pulpit to shill for votes and disregarding what really needs attention and displaying a complete lack of common sense.
Even though I am living on the outside, I am just a guy in a little studio apartment in Illinois. No kids or any of that. I just happen to have a knack for computing crap and make a small living at it. I don’t even know how I came across the BTB site, but after reading some of the entries, I thought I could help out. I do exactly this type of thing for a job and have quite a few tricks to make the job far easier than one might expect. I work from home and get jobs from all over via the internet. People send me their old documents (usually scans) that they have lost the original for and I have a variety of software that reads it and converts it back to regular text. For this website, it is a perfect skill to use and I don’t mind at all doing it.
For now, I am concentrating on persons who have typewritten entries as they are far easier to convert. Once I work through all those, I will start in on the handwritten ones. (continued)
Dear Deanna, I watch the interview to sir Francis too. Verry inspiring, It seems that it is usefull for people and souls. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us. Sandra from perú
Well, he wasn't, Thank God. I believe that you probably really do believe there must be someone on the inside of the court system. How sad for you,you are mistaken. You just cannot understand why they would actually want to keep this murderer behind bars for the remainder of his life. Oh well, get over it.
Fanye, I never said he was a Saint. And he may have had some so called friends that he hung around with. But he was no murderer and just so you know...he didn't rob those banks either. Cannot believe everything that is written or everything you hear. It was Soffen and Uschman.
look at it this way. dont trash the cover becouse i can see all that trash. people will judge the cover.that will never change.if you dont care about the cover why should i.just be simple.and look humen.that is good enough.
Joe,Enjoy all your blogs. Your faith is a blessing to me. You have such insight on God's word. Remember He makes no mistakes uyou are there for a reason. You are touching so many lives each time you write a blog. Loveyou, AuntJenny
Im sorry to hear about your son, cant imagine how u feel...the piece you wrote was very touching...I did what you asked of me the best that I could considering the current situation..just want you to know that I do still think of you everyday...you were my best friend...
Marcus, Hope this 'letter' finds you with a smile on your face~! I just got done reading all of your blogs and it most definitely made my day here at work~! Your poem on True Love touched my heart~! It was beautiful, but I already knew you have a way with words~! My numbers still the same & I would love to hear your voice & talk to you soon~! The line is open~! Can't wait to hear your voice just so I can know for sure you are doing well~! It's been too long~!
