Well I guess he has a court date here in WV finally. Of course no one knew about it (even his lawyer.) He called me a little while ago and he's less than 5 miles from me, but I can't see him. Visitation is tomorrow and he won't be in for over 24 hrs yet, so I can't go.
They use AT&T and I haven't had the money to pay Verizon so he's blocked. Somehow he got a hold of a cell phone and called me to let me know. He has no money, nothing with him and I'm broke! Plus I have to make an emergency dentist appt cause one of my front teeth chipped last night.
Sometimes I wonder what I did in my past lives. LOL. No one could have been that bad! Geeeeeezzzzzz!!! If I could get just ONE LOUSY BREAK already! Ya know?!

I hear ya, Sistah!!! And just when you were getting that Vonage thing together!!

Is he in a regional jail? Does his DOC stuff transfer over? Will he go back to VA after this court date? Am I asking too many questions?

I feel for you, I truly do. (((((((((HUGS)))))))))) Girl, you need them!

Since I dont know what all is going on I will just say I hope it goes well for him. I wish there was someway I could help you out.

Yes, No, Yes, No! LOL. He's only here for court and then he'll go back and finish his sentence. The good thing is that he's also serving his sent. for here as well (at the same time), so depending on how much time they give him he may be finished when the VA sent is over. ***crossing my fingers, legs, eyes and...ummm well anything that can be crossed***

Thanks for the hugs I really do need them.
And thanks Barb I know ya would if ya could!

Oooo, Concurrent! Awesome! Wish mine had that!

In VA, regionals were more accomodating. "You drove all that way...sure you can see him for three hours."

Stay strong!

Thanks dw. I talked to his lawyer today. He had no clue of course! They will set an arraignment date and then a trial date. He will be here indefinitely at this point. Bright side is I get to visit without getting up at 2am and driving 3 1/2 hrs each way. At least for a few visits :D

Now I'm just gonna pace until I get the dates. LOL.

Thats got to be bitter sweet knowing he is only 5 miles away compared to where he was. I know that when Chris was only 13 miles away there was some peace knowing he wasnt far. Even when I couldnt see him I knew he wasnt far from me.

Yep, nothing like going - "Is it raining there too?" and knowing it is since he is close.

I am so happy that he is moving closer to you...Congrats! Keep us updated!!

Why yes it snowed today, how in the world did ya guess? LOL. And it will probably be sunny as can be the day they take him back down there. *SIGH*

And today on as the prison world turns...
As I'm tearin him a new a** for making $700 worth of calls in one month...he informs me that if he's convicted here in WV he faces the 3 strike rule in VA...which for those of you who don't know means he'll spend the rest of his life in prison. So now that I've eaten half a pan of fudge brownies I'm kinda numb.
But hey...on the bright side I got that damn tooth fixed so I could eat the flippin brownies. LOL.
Could somebody just shoot me now?

*BANG*



Seriously, I am so anguished for you. Doesn't the 3 strikes rule apply only in VA? Wouldn't the WV one be separate? I have no idea how these things work, but I have to keep looking for that durn silver lining. (((((((HUGS)))))))

As for the phone bill.....you got a kidney?

oh yeah...


you got brownies?


pass them this way!!

Mayyyyyybe!:p

Well, finally got a date. His arraignment is on Mon (6th) at 9am. Then we just have to wait for the court date. Is this s**t over yet?!

Lol!! It will be over with soon. Monday at 9 I will be praying for ya!!

Ahhh Sweetie,
I'm sorry your going through all this! I wish there was something I could do for you! I hope and pray everything goes good for ya as you need a break! Heck we all do huh? But I'll have you and Dave in my prayers and be thinking about you two! Keep us updated ok! Glad you got your tooth fixed anyway and send me a brownie while your at it as I could use one myself! lol Keeping you in my prayers!!!!

Ty both so very much. Need all the prayers we can get.

Do you get to see him before then?

yup. today i saw him and will see him Sat as well
soooo much nicer driving 5 mins instead of 3 1/2 hrs lol.
The longer the trial takes to be set the more I can see him and more money I can save. :thumbsup: It's not contact visit, but I can do without to save this much money!! LOL

OMG! It just hit me! Your phone calls are local too! Dang! Enjoy it while you can. :D

$.95 each. Yaaaahooooo
But of course he thinks he can call 20 times a day now. LOL. Just can't win for loosing!

Congrats on the cheap phone calls girl!!! You deserve them!!!

Well, it looks like he's gonna be here until June 22 at least. That was the date set for his trial.
I wish his lawyer sounded more optimistic, but... I guess we'll have to wait and see what comes. I think he is going to try to get the prosecutor to accept a lesser plea. I hope she takes it.
The judge really shocked me though. He was soooo nice and polite to everyone. He even thanked my husband for being there. :eek: LOL. Like he had a choice. ;)
Any way. I'm just hoping this is over soon. June seems a million years away for some reason. At least I can keep getting the cheaper calls for now. Yea!

Three months? Sheesh! I hope they work a deal and at least make it all concurrent, etc.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. You can bench press a whole lot now can't ya? ;)

((((((HUGS)))))))

Glad to hear that hes closer to home and the phone calls are cheaper. Can you research the 3 strikes rule in Virginia to determine if they use charges from other states? Also can you check to see if he can serve the sentence in your state instead of Virginia? Maybe he can be closer to home for part of his sentence. Good luck and best wishes and thoughts coming your way.

I'm glad everything went as good as it could've. I'll keep praying for you. Especially June 22nd. Everything will all work out, keep your head up.

Thank you all so very much for the support!!
Would any of you like me to send your person a postcard? I'm not worried about exchanging. I have a ton of them that I would love to send out. If so, just PM me with the info on who to send it too and any short message you would like me to add.
Thanks again guys!!
