Thank you "between the bars" staff for all that you do! Happy holidays, merry Christmas, and others equally respectfully. You perform a service that is truly heroic!

Hey Dimitri! It's Chris, several days after speaking with you on the phone finally, and several days (once again) from doing what I had promised I'd do that very same day before Christmas! Life's busy, crazy, and overwhelming even outside your world. I'd never compare them in many other words than those though. We live very different lives, and, you know I know five years of that. Still, that didn't prepare me for the havoc and procrastination constantly occurring around you and to you poor cell-mate. Really upset me, partly because I know how badly it upsets you, and how it inevitably involves you, as well--which, I sense, you down-play to not over worry me, or to give the impression you complain too much when calling! God, complain all you need, and to the level it's true. Anyways, oh, I wanted to say I know the Stanford Prison Experiment from one of my very many psychology courses at Community College and USC for the Bachelor's degree program in psychology. I will try to check it out again soon, because it's been some time, but it was shocking how soon students became abusive guards overstepping their own tendencies, or level of respect for others, and how quickly the students in the role of inmates simply couldn't complete the study. My father often says "I could never serve time. I would go crazy. I would kill myself. People don't realize, those students knew they had an eventual exit. When given years, or life sentence, you don't have the luxury of going crazy for a while, or allowing yourself to "loose it." It's as though we know if this happens, there's nothing to pull us out of that nightmare. There is no liberation team of Navy Seals possibly working on free us. There is no lottery that you may be the one in a thousand inmates who buys a lottery ticket and if wins, is set free and their records completely dissolved. This would provide some false hope, which would be very unhealthy. The only option is yours; to keep your head clear, research your legal barriers, and prepare for a courtroom appeal someday. These will occur more in the future, and I get the sense, on the news, and with all the attention on overly lengthy sentences, and overkill on incarceration, more and more cases will be reviewed for possible flaws, or the possibility society at the time was acting mad and portraying some rather ordinary events, and perhaps some inappropriate one's as well, as though you deserve to die. It's madness. You made some mistakes in taking liberties to live life like anyone else would, but having the police and legal system ready to pounce on you the first chance they had if any misconduct could be suspected, not even proved. Anyways, I have to run. I really needed to write you for my own sanity. I feel heavy hearted when I don't come through for you and it really pulls me down. Believe me when I say, even with my new girlfriend Christina, who I had for Christmas and was the best Christimas in years because she's amazing!)ok theend

Well, I cannot lie and say my name is Maggie. It"s short for Margaret, but that name has always made me feel old. My grandmother was a Margaret, and she was mean.

The man thing though.... That I don't get. Not sure where you came up with that one. You've seen me, albeit for a short time when you were living in the next building at Slem Harbour. You seemed.... Disturbed, I guess is the best word I can give my thoughts on you.

After you killed and dismembered a good friend, well... It needs no prompting that I feel as though all you get, even to the little depredations like the oatmeal is to be expected.

Honestly, I think the fact that you try counts for something. Not a lot, but something. I do think you might be exaggerating however. Ron was the neighborhood pervert, we all knew that. He had a string of young guys in and out of that apartment as the years passed by. I also kn0w his adverts for room mates looked for someone who was gay, so there is no need to try and sugarcoat what you were up to.

I don't judge, I just think that your changing the rules in the middle of the game were sort of cheating. A well built, 20 something man going up against a somewhat frail cancer patient in his 60's does not promote mush of a fight... As the truth told out.

Anyway, I just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas. I hope your sales went well, and that you have found love behind bars. Everyone needs love.

she hit at least one other person - even worse than this. Really kind of sad, don't you think?

I have to admit I'm pretty much speechless right now - lol
That should keep you busy -I'm laughing
Merry Christmas - I know you're reading this way after Christmas but it's the thought that counts - right?

Can we say "cuckoo bird"? These posts are outrageous and very disingenuous to the theme, IMO.

hey love,


My foot acts up now and the. :( I read on internet Glucosamine can help restore the 'cartilage'?Hope it helps me!??

Hey I got extremely good news at Bart's parents!At Simonne's and Jan's apartment.A very light and modern home they have! We ate excellent! Lynn was a little sick, well, now she's a little better.Nevertheless we walked outside to see the horses and some pony's.She always sings several songs.We were so very surprised as she said the sentences of a long song!!We didn't even know where she learned it!?She always amazes me...:o

Listen to this!! At our aperitive snacks Elke gave Simonne and me a big letter.The size of a double envelope of a regular letter.we had to read it in the same time. It showed a little girl glancing in a big bow with Handle With Care written on it.
And out of the box we saw a little hand reaching a small flower to the girl.
It read: 'Although I am still very small i'd like you to ask if you would be my GODMOTHER? Lots of love and till January,
Your newest godchild(??)

Oh, George I got chills on my arm and back just reading it!!I totally didn't expect this!:o

Simonne got the very same message. :) So, we will be two godmothers! No godfather this time. We accepted with a lot of enthousiasm of course! We took pictures wuth Elke and her nice belly in te front, me next to her and next Simonne on the couch.In our hands owing our diplomas, haha.
I am so proud to become a new grandma!!!She most probably will have another caeserian?On the 28th of January.:o

Lots of hugs, kisses and all the best my dearest sweetheart!xxx :)))
