Stephanie, I sent you a letter but have not heard from you, the address did not have the apt. number.so I don't know if you got it or not , but happy belated birthday, luv you and thinking of you.
Hi Antonio I'm Tisha and I love reading your posts...they are deep, intriguing, very articulate. I can feel the pain, the lust for true love and the deepness for acceptance no matter the situation. Why havent you wrote any more letters, poems? I'm always here waiting to read them. Long lost friend
Dear Antoine, wow so you got moved... Congrats. Hope you find your way soon in this new place. I have send you a letter to your old address recently, I hope they will forward it? Warm greetings, Julia
My dear love... I know you’re waiting for me - and I, for you. There IS an end - and then we’ll be together for always. It will be different - but there’ll be no change to our love - after all these years nothing’s going to alter that. I dream of you - usually at night - but sometimes while I’m wide awake. I turn a corner, expecting to find you there - so funny because we’ve never been here together. I believe you know this place as much as I do - maybe because you know all the nooks and crannies of my heart just as I know yours. I’m nearly content, secure in our love - knowing my feelings and sure of yours. I live in the memories - they send me to sleep at night - free to walk the streets with you - and see all the people we grew up with. I’ll always love you - only you - forever. Always and all ways, I am your Jeannie.
The new phone system sounded good...but when I tried to set up an account...I was told that the 6 cents per minute would only go into affect once all the prisons in the state were set up...not before...and they had no idea when it might drop from 12 cents to 6 cents.
Also...the old system charged $3 per transaction and you could put a maximum of $250 on the account per transaction. Now it's $5.95 per transaction and you can only put $100 on at a time. So significantly more processing charges.
Plus when John tried to call last week, it said there was no money on the account....when there is. So still bugs there too.
Considering making phone calls to me is John's main connection to the outside world and his only personal expense other than bare necessities, it's too bad the price has gone up significantly.
Maybe the service will get better and the pricing will drop (as originally quoted) but I'm still disgruntled about the processing fee taking such a huge hike.
Sorry I've been behind on reading your blogs. Thanks for keeping us informed on the changes that have been happening inside the walls at Stanley.
I'm not too happy about the new phone vendor either....another jump in pricing for those wanting to keep in touch with family and friends on the inside of the walls. John doesn't think the service is any better and it costs more to put money on the account. I'm sure they're still working out the bugs...but no price drop for calls placed (as was touted as a reason for the change) and only increase in costs to put money on the account.
