"My Finances"

Since certain individuals keep bringing up my finances, I wanted to further address it. Not that it's really any of these people's business. But they've give out bad information, for instance, someone said that on 12/12/12 I had $350.00 in my account. Well, I got my December statement, and there was not $350.00 in my account on 12/12/12, it was $316.00, which most was sent by my loving wonderful mother. She is 85% of the source of the money that I get in. Which I don't like one bit! I'd rather earn money, doing my art cards, drawings, paintings etc.

I have some good friends that write, I don't ask them to send me money, if they do that's great, it takes some of the weight off my mother. My friend Anne helps me a little each month, and I'm very thankful to have her as my friend. I have a friend or two that sends me a little something each year for Christmas or my birthday and I'm thankful for their help as well. But I don't ask them for their money.

Once in a great while someone will write and ask to buy a piece of my art. And although I can't sell the art, people can make a donation, and out of the kindness of their hearts I'll send them a drawing. 'Cause there's nothing in the rules that prevents that.

Back in the 1990s, we could sell our art and hobby crafts. In fact the FDOC encouraged it. They had a place out in the population where inmates could display crochet, woodwork, drawings, paintings etc. But for some reason they stopped this.

Back in the 1990s, my source of income came through my art, crochet and writing fantasy/sex letters, and there was demand for sex letters, I'd place an ad in Playgirl and all types of people would write. Some women in their very first letter would send nude photos, and they had no idea who I was or what I looked like. I remember one woman sent a photo laying butt naked on top of a red Vett. Some of the stuff that I got in was Jerry Springer wild. Hey - to each his or her own. To me - it was a job. I sold fantasies. 'Cause that's all they wanted.

The world is filled with different folks, who have different strokes. And sometimes it's best not to try to understand them. A lot of people have serious mental issues and you can see that on Jerry Springer. You can see it here on my blog with comments. People who are so mentally deranged that they take time out of their lives to come over to a prison blog sit, to do nothing more than cause drama and try to inflict pain. Yeah - prime Jerry Springer candidates, and saying this - oh boy, them Jerry Springer candidates are going to be coming out of the woodwork, with their negative comments, but it is what it is, and like I said, different strokes for different folks. There's no shame to my game, but I'd much rather earn my money than beg for it, and have to rely upon my loving mother. So now you busy bodies know, not that it was really any of your business. For what my loving mother, friends or anyone else does for me, really shouldn't concern the negative, cyber bully haters. Who should be more focused on cleaning up their lives, rather than what's going on in mine. 'Cause all of my friends know, that my life is an open book, if they want to know, all they have to do is ask. With that I'm out of here.

In peace + love
