Again, it was great meeting everyone. Also, I want to thank Ray Hill for having us on the Prison Show and at the Station.

On that note, I am going to start off with a few pictures from the Radio Station.

Here is a link to KPFT archieves page:

The estimated time to download the show is 1 hour 51 minutes.

JJT

Thanks for posting the link to the archives, JJT! :) I am downloading the show now! I am excited, because I can never hear it when I am calling in (I live in Dallas, and I can't listen to the internet feed because I have dial-up and I call from my home phone) so now I get to hear it, and ya'll too! :) Plus I get to hear myself, because I called in for my hubby on Friday! ;)

It shows 1 min. 04 seconds to download for me. :p I'm sure going to miss this connection if I can't get another when moving!

I had a great time.

Still Tired Though

I'm out

I'm working on a direct link that you can stream from. I spoke to Ray about Archiving these a while back and PTO using them. Need to follow up on that. They only go back a month or so :( Time to see if there is a off-line archive we can gain access to.

Thank You For Sharing. You're Lucky To Have A Support Group Out There In Texas. I Wish We Had One Here In California. You All Look Very Nice And hAPPY. Stay Strong For One Another. :thumbsup:

It's only 21 megs in size. From their server to my computer. How fast is your dsl? (You can check at www.dslreports.com (http://www.dslreports.com))

It looked like alot of fun.. i am sorry missed it but it was the last weekend b4 mymoms husband went back out of the country..

It's only 21 megs in size. From their server to my computer. How fast is your dsl? (You can check at www.dslreports.com) (http://www.dslreports.com))

My dsl is supposed to be 56k but it still is connected through the phone lines which gets lots of interferrance from the triple radio towers just down the block.

I will check it at that web site. Thank you.

The g2g was awesome, and I had a really good time talking with everyone! I learned so many new things, and maybe one day I will be a brave little girl and try some things!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Ouch... Hope your not paying full DSL prices for 56k speed. :)

(dropping marbles as I walk away)

part of a package deal with my land line. both together come to about $40.00. is that good???

It was so great to meet everyone, Im SOOO glad that I decided to go and meet everyone, ya'll are great!!! Thanx Mlk, without you, this wouldnt have been possible!!
I cant wait to see everyone again at the pac conference! (Ya'll are going, right?) :D

kath

MLK - Thank you for opening your home to us. It is amazing Just how much or stories compare - Hmmm Running home at the speed of light to check the mail, and living for visits :D

I loved meeting everyone there. We need to do this more often, All of you Helped make my week alot brighter than it was looking....


I will be attending the PACT conference..... This redhead is on fire this year :D
Hugs to all,

Lisa

AAAAWWWWW.... It will be jsut like a PTO reunion with everyone there!!! I cant say it enough, ya'll were jsut FANTASTIC!!! Everyone was so friendly.. Cant wait to see everyone again!
Mlk? You and me girl.... definitely! Anyone else carpooling with us? Lets do it!

Everyone named!!!

For the PACT conference - I want to attend the Entire BS rally that day (those who were there last year know I had Issues) whats new right.... So im planning on getting a hotel room there so I dont have to track 80 miles home that day and 80 miles back the next day to see my husband. Anyone that wants to crash with me is welcome. I know alot of our guys seem to be that general direction... Just let me know :D

thanks kath for the picture. it sure wasnt one of my best!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i will blame it on the weather!

The hotel room idea sounds great!!!! Although I would do it for my visit, I dont want to have to drive all the way up there 2 days in a row !!!

Kath, you didn't like the pictures I put up? You want me to put up the rest of them! haha :p j/k!

What's the date on the PAC-woman conference?

i believe it is august 21, 2004.... fedx we should have a booth!

I agree.

I love the pics!! :)

MLK2001...did you forget that ebony and ivory where carpooling to the conference!! :)

txangel - Sounds great - I know that I dont want to drive 2 days in a row to huntsville.. Besides kinda crazy, but staying in huntsville makes me feel closer to him...

I cant wait....

yes babygirl we are carpooling to the conferance.... can you be on time? lol
txangel is coming with us!

I had a good time this weekend, yall are truly off the chain for real. Thanks for all the tips. I hope to hang out with yall again.

MLK thanks for opening your house to me and believe me I will be back, Just wont tell Will what I am going for LOL

Anyways everyone I hope to see yall all soon we have to do this again, maybe we should all just take over the PACT, get us some T-Shirts made, and go show them we are strongly behind our loved ones.

Well everyone stay dry.

sounds like a good idea willsgirl!

The print that was on the cake would be a good design. What do yall think?

i think that would be a great idea.... what do yo think Fed-x?

Hey...what is PACT and when is it? :*)
Sara

its in Aug. there is a Thred in the texas forum

PACT is the dog/pony TDCJ puts on every year to inform the public about what's going on/changing in TDCJ. Some of it is VERY informative...some is downright humorous.

sorry...couldn't resist,
kath

The good thing about this conference is that you learn names and faces. I found the information I gained very useful in dealing with problems that I need addressed. I just look down my list of names and call call call. I have this vision of PTO members taking up a large section of the auditorium one day!!!!

Aww these are some nice pictures!!! who is who?

Everyone named!!!

Whoops I found it!

Looks like ya'll had a great time!! Man, I'm sorry I missed that cake. Maybe I can catch the next one, or a North-Texas (Dallas) get together!! Woo hoo, what a great group of people. It is so nice to put names with faces. Thanks for posting these!!

I had a North Dallas g2g before Skip came home...and I know they discussed another one several months ago....I'm open to the topic....

kath

Sounds good to me!

Aww it looks like everyone had a great time!! I want to meet everyone! And since apparently Mr David ain't never gonna come up to Dallas ;) I may have to come down there sometime! :p I would love to meet ya all! (I've already met Sara always-cheesin-for-the-camera Smile ;) but that's it!)

Celene

I had a North Dallas g2g before Skip came home...and I know they discussed another one several months ago....I'm open to the topic....

kath

I'm open to the topic as well.

And I won't need an entourage' to come this one. :)

I think the motel should be on Mockingbird so we can have shuttle service to both airports. I'm feeling this. I'm going to think of a plan for D'town and post it. Think of a plan y'all.

Well, please, please, make it or one day or one event kid friendly - so that I can meet some people!! I may or may not be able to find someone to watch my kids.

We could have a Dallas get-together at my home.

That's good sonnysgirl :D Do you have enough room?
With the conference coming in August it may be hard to set a date.
I'm still thinkin'... :) what us gone do?

you guys can use the pic i made wherever and when ever you would like! i am so proud that it came out so good :D just don't forget to give me some props lol!

MY Dear Trulykath: Thank you for the photo, at least now i know your faces. Sorry! I missed. This looks like everybody had a good time. To Fed x, thanks for the photos also(we just need some others names). and you Dear MLK2001, what a great idea, you are magnificent to put all this together. My best wishes to all of you.~Much Love and ~Hugs ~*Tita
