Hi Kelly! Sorry it took me so long to respond... If you even remember your little notice to me written last november. I indeed am the same Julia. I am fine, hope you are too. I got some quotes for you from Groucho Marx. I hope you enjoy them, if you dont know them already:
Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.
I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member.
I must confess, I was born at a very early age.
Humor is reason gone mad.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
Hi Antoine and Lana, I just have to add my two cents about this 1% question. On the site it is stated: "Between the Bars is a weblog platform for people in prison, through which the 1% of Americans who are in prison can tell their stories." To my reading it refers to the fact that roughly 1% of all US-Americans are incarcerated, and this blog serves this population. If the site would serve 1% of all incarcerated people, as you read it Lana, it would serve to about 20.000 people. So in that sense, it rather serves 0,01%. And that is indeed, I guess, a question of capacity. I just had to get nerdy on you :) Have a good day, warm greetings, Julia
Hello love Hope you get both messages on the same day else you’ll be nuts - lol
So - I just hung up from talking to Mel - she’s doing better and will be released from Kaiser tomorrow - she’s going home with Theresa for at least a few days. Theresa is at 4411 Palm Ave - Sacramento, 95842 - if you want to send a note or anything.
Mel definitely had a heart attack - she didn’t have symptoms that she associated with heart - instead she was having acute indigestion and heartburn. I’d read somewhere that women often manifest heart problems like that - more so than men - one of the reasons they call this the “silent killer”. She was petrified when they told her they were going to do the heart cath and put in stents - her mom died during the same procedure. Her mom, however, had had a major attack - Mel’s was mild in comparison. Doctor told her that she can resume her normal routine in 2 days - except no lifting for 5 days.
Theresa wants her to just move in with her, but Mel doesn’t really want to do that - doesn’t want to give up her independence, I guess. Either way, Theresa will drive her nuts for awhile, fussing over her.
Ok - no other news right now. I hope all is well with you... I love you - for always and in all ways Your Jeannie
Nothing here for the last 3 weeks - hope that doesn’t mean anything’s wrong. I had a really horrible stomach bug - one of those that just lingers on and on - hopefully all well now - or almost
Writing here - and will try to get at least a note in the mail too (it can be a race) but this is so much easier - I know I can finish this, at least. Theresa posted on FaceBook last night that Mel has had a heart attack - she’s now at the cath lab so they can see how bad she is. She’s been admitted and will have to have surgery - I’m guessing bypass (hard to get info from Theresa because she’s so flustered). Theresa is at the hospital with her, so hopefully I’ll get more news as it happens - try to write this week-end, or at least add another post here. I love you. Your Jeannie
You know what Johnny? I'm really glad I never trash talked you to our son. He's so happy to have you in his life. I know a lot of women like to talk bad about their kids father in front of them. I never could have done that. He deserved the chance to know you. You're his dad.
Hello again Johnny, and thanks for writing. I hope my transcription helps to keep you alive via pixels. Is there any way interested readers can help you with the cost of these typewriter ribbons?
