BVNs Response:

1. The 1st thing I thought when I saw Figi was DAYUM he is Fine,;) and I am gonna get that Ni$$a:p (( well, I am just keepin it real)) and the song(s) Rockin knockin boots-Htown, Weak-SWV, REAL Love- Mary J Blige, Bex Sex-R.Kelly and To strong for too long((because that is really our story))

2. I met B in 1991, and I knew that I TRUELY loved that man(( the TRUE definition of LOVE... 2004..I am NOT gonna sugarcoat Shi!!! I am gonna keep it G.. and the reason it took me soooo long, is BECAUSE I did NOT love MYSELF!! and I could NOT love HIM...then I gave my life back over to the LORD..and the TRUE meaning of LOVE was HIM..he was created by GOD just for me... Our hearts beat as one, and with out him here I feel so out of sync.. but that is ok, next year we will be 2 hearts that beat as ONE<<<<:thumbsup:

3.I met him in the HOOD((Inglewood)) :rolleyes: :rolleyes: SAWWWOOOPPPPP!!!!!!!! The first kiss, dammm in a shack(( an abandoned apartment))LOL:D

4. Well the first sentence they gave him was 188years..so you tell me how I reacted!!!:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: then he beat the case well, the MAIN charge and got 14 with 1/2((PTL)) He has been gone 9years..

Come on PTO Fam*Bam..I wanna hear the SCOOP!! the REAL DEAL!!! Come on tell me!!

!st of all welcome back BVN hope u r doing fine,and i see u r back to work this is a good post so let me see well the 1st time i seen my husand i was like he is cute but i was not trippin off him til he got at me our song is music off of alicia keys album when we met it was at a family get together when i 1st kiss him i felt the connection and said he was the 1 and when he got sentence he could have got less time but he wanted to fight it and lost so they gave him 15years so we r all most done 2years to go............:thumbsup:

That is cool, and 2years is gonna go like VRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!
I mean I had 2 years last year now I have 13months(( wow, stomach butterflies)) and there is still alot of work to be done...Oh Yeah..ANd you know me Groove, gotta keep um comin... Between Diamond, you and me.. I think we are the POSTING queens...Holla

Ok
Were, 7-11 I was goin in to buy cigarettes and he was standin outside!
When, I first met him I wasnt lookin for a raltionship! And I was like damn he is really cute! I played hard to get for about 3 months then finally let him know how I felt in a real way! That was many years ago! Our song now of coarse is MARY J yep too strong for too long.. The song I most think about around the time that he got sentenced was Smile by Scarface. When he got sentenced I was dumb struck like a mutha! We thought he was gonna get a drug treatment plan and a half way house at least thats what the lawyer said. But no because my babe was BAD in the past and too many strikes he got 3yrs they doubled him up and he has to do 85% which put him at 4yrs 8 months! Or 6yrs with 85% Now we are almost at the 4yr mark in july and he comes HOME next APRIL (2 days before my bday) Times has gone slow and fast. I would say that after I learned how to deal with the time and got used to it, it really flew by! My husabnd is my soul mate, we think just the same in every situation. Sometimes we bump heads but we always love eachother and respect eachother!

HELLO GROOOVE and DI you two did NOT ans all the ques... FIRST KISS>...hello..

1. FIRST THING I THOUGHT WHEN I SEEN MY BABY WAS "I WOULD BEAT YOUR ASS IF YOU TALKED TO ME LIKE THAT" :blah: THE SONG THAT REMINDS ME OF MY BOO IS BY LENNY WILLIAMS CALLED "CAUSE I LOVE YOU":heart:

2. I MET HIM IN THE SUMMER OF 2000. I KNEW IT WAS THAT ULTIMATE LOVE WHEN WE WERE ON OUR WAY BACK FROM MISSISSIPPI AND WE SEEN THE SUNSET TOGETHER.:blush: IT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL. IT WAS DOWN RIGHT AMAZING.

3. I MET HIM IN RIALTO WHERE WE USED TO LIVE. OUR FIRST KISS WAS IN MY TOWNHOUSE ON THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR.

4. WELL WHEN HE GOT SENTENCED I WAS HURT:( , SCARED:eek: AND MAD:angry: AND RELEAVED:cool: BECAUSE HE PROMISED ME HE WOULDN'T GET IN ANYMORE TROUBLE. THIS WAS HIS FIRST TIME GOING TO PRISON, BUT HIS SECOND TIME LEAVING US. HE GOT 18 MONTHS WITH HALF. SO HE'S BEEN GONE 7 MONTHS AND A FEW DAYS. I KNOW COMPARED TO EVERYONE ELSES SENTENCE HIS IS NOTHING, BUT IT HAS BEEN FOREVER TO ME. I AM SO IN LOVE WITH MY BOO AND HIS KIDS MISS HIM SOMETHING TERRIBLE. I'M JUST GLAD HE IS ALMOST HOME.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE:grouphug:

ahhhh how cute hagan! a tru love story!

I THINK WE ALL HAVE TRUE LOVE STORIES. I READ THROUGH THESE POSTS FROM CCI AND I CAN JUST FEEL THE LOVE THAT ME AND ALL OF YOU HAVE FOR OUR MEN. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL. BIG UPS TO EVERYONE:thumbsup:

Its called REALISM!!!! We really luv our dudes! I wouldnt trade mine for the world!

Hagen... you said that your mans time is NOTHING compared to half of us.. Girlie..ANYTIME is TOOO much time.. and I wish that my Figi was coming to me.. but like I told him, you did the crime you have to do the time.. the only thing with that statement NOW Is that it is TRU as a Mutha because we truly are doing it too.. How may kids do ya'll have Hag?? and where in Cali do ya'll stay now.. I have none. and live in LA..

YOUR RIGHT ON ANY TIME IS TOO MUCH TIME, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN..YOUR BABY WILL BE HERE SOON, THOUGH..:thumbsup: WE HAVE HAD 3 KIDS TOGETHER 1 DAUGHTER WHO PASSED AWAY AND 2 SONS..2 AND 3. HE ALSO ADOPTED MY 2 OLDER KIDS THAT ARE 12 AND 9. I'M IN FONTANA..LIKE 45 MINS FROM L.A...YOU COMIN TO VISIT GIRL:D

I unofficially met him at this bar I used to work at part-time [(one of my 3 jobs at the time]) when I really met him was on Nov. 3, 2002 I was at a Quince that I was invited to by another guy I was meeting that night. I showed up about a 1/2 hour late....... on my way out (because I saw the other guy nowhere in sight) I ran into "Che" on the way to my car I saw him get a cigarette out of his car and I told him "hey i know you" he turned around recognized me:eek: he even remembered my name:rolleyes: which I didn't even know if he knew it..he obviusly did he asked me to stay and dance with him....so I did

That night he told me everything about him (he has a daughter in Mexico, he had just gotten out of prison out here just did 6, and why he was in) i mean it ws crazy for me to see a guy I barely knew be honest that way most wait a while to tell you "oh by the way I have a kid" and what not.
Our first kiss was that night he walked me to my car exchanged numbers and flirted a little more then like .....bam it happened.and damn it was gooood!

I knew it was real love when he was evicted and he came to me for help he never expected for me to tell him to move in...believe me I thought about it forever.... I even asked my mom what to do:blah: shes cool but I never thought I would be asking her about that stuff one day and what she told me was "Mija, it's your life no matter what I say you're going to do what you want and if you really love this guy then do what your heart tells you."

He has been locked up since Jan. 10, 2006 (in county) moved to C.C.I in Feb. he's doing a 2 year sentence he swears it will only be 1 yr. though:confused: then when he gets done in Cali he has to come back here because he had a year and 1/2 left of 4 yrs. parole that might end up being up to the 4 that he had in the first place (he says 16 months I don't know where he gets these #) and I'm still in shock and lost because I don't want to believe what he says and get my hopes up thinking I will be with him in a year an 1/2 and it end up being 6 total I can't handle that kind of disapointment so I'm just being a "realist" I guess:(

And thats the story of our life ladies....

The first thing I thought of when I saw my man was "Damn! He is fine! I could totally see myself married to this guy!" then of course the moment of panic "oh God how tore up do I look right now?!"

The song that reminds me most of him is... dont laugh y'all... Frank Sinatra "Young at Heart". He sang that song constantly the first few months we were 'talking'. Before he got locked up our song was... again dont laugh... I'll only admit it to you guys... Willie Nelson "You Are Always on my Mind".

It happened late 2002. Well my man was friends with my ex and they had car pooled to work together for awhile. Mind you, my ex NEVER let me see Al. He would go out of his way to keep me from seeing him. After my ex and I split Al called a couple times looking for the ex. One day he called from the front gate of my apartment and asked if he could come up to say hi. i was like "sure come on up" then I frantically ran around picking up things around the house and trying to get myself decent looking (my daughter was 1 and still a handful and I was in the I don't care what I look like when I am home alone phase). Anyway he knocked on the door and I opened it and it was all over from there. I knew the moment I saw him that I wanted to be with him for the rest of my life... so we 'talked' for 3 months or so he wanted to be sure that being with his was what I really wanted...

Which leads us to the first kiss. It was at my apartment, he had come over to visit me and the baby and hang out, talk, etc. I was so shy and he knew I was ready to move things along... so he tells me "you can kiss me if you want" Hell yeah! So we kissed and I laughed because he was a sloppy kisser and not very tender. I knew I had some work to do with that one! :p Subsequent kisses where better... one in particular was in a parking structure and it got pretty intense. Very passionate kissing and allot of grabbing and leaning on the car... whew! :blush:

His oldest son has been locked up for some drama with his girlfriend, he went to court Dec 2005 and of course my man went to be supportive. Being the father he is he decided to get himself arrested so that he could end up in the same place as his son and be able to take care of him. So a couple bottles of vodka and a DUI later... there he was. Of course it backfired and they were in different placest. My step son should be out in the next couple weeks (God willing) while my man has another 21 months. So my reaction is SO mixed. Sometimes I think that it was all so stupid but other times I admire the lengths he would go to for his kids.

Wow... that's a story line for a soap opera isn't it?! We should start a show about prison wives and our stories!

Hagan - God bless you! I can't imagine what you have gone through with the loss of a child and then having your man locked up. Thank God for your precious little ones to keep your spirits up. You are in my prayers...

WE HAVE HAD 3 KIDS TOGETHER 1 DAUGHTER WHO PASSED AWAY AND 2 SONS..2 AND 3. HE ALSO ADOPTED MY 2 OLDER KIDS THAT ARE 12 AND 9.

Thank You So Much Alsgirlalways. It Means A Lot To Me That You And Everyone Is Here For Me As I Am For Anybody On Pto. Pm If You Need To Talk, Vent Or Anything. Girl Please Don't Imagine Ever Because Losing A Child Is Something You Never Get Over. She Is With Me Though, She's My Sacred Angel.:) God Bless Everyone

I am so sorry to hear that! Everything happens for a reason. Some reasons are unknown why and thats the way its supposed to be! Others are their to teach us a lesson! Whatever the reason, you have my prayers to make it easier on you....

Ok... When i first met him i thought he was a nerd. He was dating a friend of mine at the time and she talked him up like crazy.. when i met him i thought he looked like a square....

We have 2 songs....Bury me a G by Pac because we used to listen to that song every morning when he was on his gring.. and then Understanding by Xscape. He loves that song...

I met him at a BBQ at my apartment in 2004. He was trying to hook me up with his cousin because he was messing around with my homegirl.. well, i was a bit of a playa bacc in the day and i wasn't trippen off of of anyone, i had like 2 other boyfriends at the time! Anyways... he broke up with my friend and convieniently started calling me on the phone. We had cool convos, and one day on my way home from work, he asked me to come over so he could show me pics of some of his homies to hook me up with... they were all pics of HIM!!!!!!!!!! LOL... We ended up kickin it my apartment.. and he got me sprung!!!

He was originally offered 6yrs with 85%.... and I thought I was gonna die.... He thought I was gonna dog him out and never talk to him again, but i showed up at EVERY court date.. and there were A LOT, and i visited him every weekend.. both sat and sunday! His lawyer was the Sh*$..... and she got him 2 yrs with 50%... so he'll be soon, check out my ticker y'all!!

WE WILL ALWAYS B THERE AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER EVEN WHEN OUR HUSANDS COME HOME..

First let me say the 1st time we met was a blind date. long story but a friend felt I needed to "Get Some" and start dating. I had been single 2 years.
What did I think when I first saw him , Ah hell no I'm gonna kill her! He aint at all my type. lol The song is easy he kept singing it cause it was newly out Girl You Look Good Woncha Back that thang up.lol Girl you got me cracken up thinking about his goofy butt.

We met in Sept. 1999 and was not supposed to go any further then at most a butty call. lol Knew I loved him about a year later beleave it or not it was the day of 911 for personal reasons not related to the tragety.

We first met at a friends house and our first kiss was at his friends house.

We never saw the amount of time coming 8 years with 80% whitch leaves about 5 more to go . I cried like a baby more for my son than for him or I because he loves his daddy and had just turned 3. He has been gone 1 year 1 month and 14 days ok 15 days its almost mid night.

Well Forevermines welcome and thank u for your post and hope to see more of u.........

1. The first thing I thought when I actually saw him in person was... Damn..he was FINE!!! Whe I was driving to meet him I was listening to Adore by Prince.. So now that song always reminds me of him.

2. We met in June last year.. I knew about a month later that this was it!!

3. (Don't laugh) He sent me a note online on another site.. We talked online for a few days and then I let him call.. Then we made a date a week later and been attached at the hip ever since. Our first kiss was at Joe's Crab Shack in Redondo Beach on our first date.

4. I was upset but never once thought about leaving him.. He has been gone since August 05 (Pitchess and NKSP since a week ago) He got 3 years

HA... betcha wondering where I am going with this one!!:p

Come on PTO Fam*Bam..I wanna hear the SCOOP!! the REAL DEAL!!! Come on tell me!!

I must say that I like these questions, they're fun...

1) The first thing I thought when I saw him was "go away, I don't want to talk to you". I was eating a sandwich, waiting for friend and he came up and started talking to me.

A song that reminds me of him...that's tough. Probably anything by Bob Dylan, it's his favorite singer/songwriter.

2) I met him on June 02, 2002. We married on August 8, 2002.
I knew that I was in love with him 4-5 weeks later when we were in Amsterdam. :hee:

3) I met him in Berkeley, CA outside of Whole Foods (grocery store), I think it was a Sunday. I don't remember our first kiss, he would remember, I'll have to ask him. (That's terrible)

4) I was very relieved, heartbroken to see him go, but it could have been A LOT worse. And now only 4 more months until the halfway house...:D He's been gone 9 months.

OK, well, this could be a long one... ha ha ha ha.

We met at a bar that I worked at, in 1997. He was a regular, and friends with a lot of the girls that worked with me. The first thing that I thought about him was, dang that man is fffiiiiinnnnneeeee!!!! Then I talked to him for like a second, and my second thought was "And he is the cockiest s.o.b. in the world!" I instantly disliked him. But he was always at the bar, he was always hanging with the girls, which meant that I was sort of in the group too, and I sort of got to know him a little better. He rarely ever drank, he was just there to hang with us, and play pool, which he loved to do. He started to teach me how to play pool better, and so on. We started to build a friendship. Then one night after I got off work I hung out with him, and we had a real heart to heart talk about our lives, talked for hours and hours. He told me that he would come and see me the next night I worked, and we said goodbye. I knew then that I was smitten with him, after seeing this real part of him, the real person inside, not the cocky exterior. The next night I worked I watched the door all night, couldn't wait to see him again. But then all the sudden there was a big commotion in the parking lot. One of the girls runs up and tells me that he was outside getting arrested. I watched the police take him down to the ground, and cart him off in handcuffs. It took me several months, but I finally wrote to him, and we started writing all the time. (He was down for about 2-1/2 years that time.) The minute that he walked into my bar again the first time after he got out, I knew the second that I saw him again, that he was the one, we had already gotten really close with all the writing, but seeing him in person again is what sealed the deal for me for real.

Our first kiss came that same night after I got off work. We went to the beach, and walked hand in hand for a while, catching up, and all that jazz, and then we kissed. It was under a full moon, and it was probably the most romantic moment of my life. From that night on we were pretty much an item. We've dated off and on for the past 9 years. I have always known that he was my soul-mate, my one true love... but life has stood in our way many times. Obsticles that we have had to overcome...

Our song is "You make me want to be a better man" by the Warren Brothers. He would sing it to me all the time.

My man is only 8months into his 11yr 8month sentence. His release date is end of 2017. When I heard all this I was SHOCKED to say the least. I am not at all happy about it... but we are dealing with it. I wasn't in his life when he commited this crime... or when he got sentenced. So I didn't have to deal with the hearing, the sentencing, anything first hand. I had moved out of town, but we reconnected after he went back in. I had been missing him, and found him in county while he was there. This past 6months we have written every single day, and we are more in love, more close than ever.

I miss him like crazy!

Hey AlsGirlAlways... I like your idea of a show about Prison Wives and our stories... my man and I have joked about calling fear factor and having them do an episode of Convicts and their Wives! ha ha ha ha ha Wouldn't that be some funny stuff!!!

Firstly, Hagan, only 4 days to go!! Wow, this last bit of time if flying by. I'll be in Hawaii when he comes home but know I'll be thinking of you and hope all the best for you as always. I know you will keep in touch with us over here so I am not too worried about not hearing from you!! Hope all your dreams come true for all of you.:D

Now, first thing I thought when I saw him was "Oh boy, another scumbag drug dealer hanging out at so and so's house! What else is new?" Then over a few weeks of hanging out at so and so's house and talking to the scumbad drug dealer I realized that was not true at all. He was not your typical scumbag drug dealer and we clicked instantly. Within a few weeks of meeting him we had our first kiss in the livingroom of my condo after he had taken me out to breakfast. It was the most incredible kiss ever and I knew at the point I was in trouble. I knew this was the real thing only about 2 weeks later. He knew sooner than me. He said he knew I was special the day he met me. The song that reminds me of him is Rod Stewart Have I told You lately that I love you. We write that to eachother in our letters all the time. He is in on a violation and only got 6 months at half which shocked me as he had thought he would get only 30 days or even prop 36. Since we hadn't been together long and I had never had any experience with the prison system, I didn't really know what to think. It actually has made our relationship more solid and has given us an opportunity not many people get in a new relationship as we have learned more about each other through our letters than we probably would have discovered in person. There is something to be said about letter writing and how much more of yourself you will reveal in a letter vs. face to face. I think we both opened up more during this time that we would have otherwise. It is more apparent to me that this he is the one as I am still here waiting for him and I am more in love with him now than I was when he went in.:love: :love: :cuffs: :cuffs: :love: :love:

1. What ~ First thing I thought was WOW those eyes! Anything from Los Lonely Boys.

2. When ~ I met my husband Aug. 2004. It was love at first sight for both of us. It is a true love story. He is my sanity, my hero. I am alive today because of him. We were married by my mom on November 05, 2005.

3. Where ~ I was moving out of my apt/leaving my abusive ex of 7 years. I was walking around the apt. complex when I ran in to a friend. He had just met my husband that day at a bus stop. That is when our friendship started. Our first kiss was in his apt. Oct. 2004. We were laying in bed and he rolled over and started kissing me. Oh boy, I'm getting all flustered just thinking about it! That was our first and only kiss.

4. How ~ I couldn't stop crying. I collapsed outside the courtroom. We were told for months that he was going to a rehab but the judge had other plans. He has been gone for 19 months, 18 of that was in County.

WE SURE DO HAVE A LOT OF NEW PEOPLE POSTING. THIS IS SO GREAT. I HAVE TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO BVN WHO STARTED THIS THREAD.

Sorry for the slow reply but I was off spending a week on the beautiful island of Kauai. I always forget to come over to this forum to see what you crazy chicks are up to but I do try and find you as I get a kick out of the threads you guys post. Hagan, I have left messages for you in threads all over PTO and BVN, you are right that he is almost home. I am holding strong and can't believe the day is so rapidly approaching. After a 2 hour visit today, I am more and more anxious, excited and nervous all at the same time. It's a weird thing to have so many feelings all at the same time but I say bring it on!! The more the merrier right? And soon enough, it will all be over and our love for each other will remain that much stronger for the experience.:love:

Ahhhhh Shootna.. that is GREAT.. Remmy us who are still holding on to the day when Ours will be home too. You and Hagan better be around next year when I do my POST.. HE'S BACK!!! Yeah that is what I like to type..Hahaha, it is just getting so frustrating, I am like you Shootna. here there everywhere, I mean I get dizzy trying to keep up with the moving threads and homies..Oh well we will meet up one day.. See ya somewhere along these PTO streets..LOL

Oh man, don't get me started on the moving threads. It does seem that we are all being herded into this section. I will have to share with you my experience today with my moving countdown. I couldn't even find it. I will definitely be here for you next year. I can't believe the time is almost over. What a ride!

1.WHAT- was the first thing you thought when you saw your other half!!??/ WHAT is your theme song , or the song that reminds you of him.../her

This Brother is just my type. Tall like I like em. Darker then me and he had a great body from what I could tell. Mostly just dddaaaaammmmmnnnnn!

Our theme song is Adore by Prince. That New Mary J song and I'll write a song by Earth Wind and Fire

2.WHEN- did you meet him/her....and when did you know it was that REAL love.. that OHHHWEEE love??

We met in 1999, I had just broken up with my fiance, who I found out got my best friend pregnant and I wasn't looking for anyone. My friend Meeka was writing her masters thesis on the Prison industrial complex and was writing all these dudes in prison interviewing them and she found my husband on a pen pal site. she told me to write him and even vouched for him, passing him off as her mans good friend. we wrote each other for months before we figured out Meeka's trick, but he had me at the first letter. I wrote him this imppersonal letter that I typed up on my lap top and he wrote me back a 10 page front and back letter telling me all about him. We just clicked.
3.WHERE- did you meet him/her??/WHERE Was the first kiss

THe first time I saw him was in prison and we kissed on our first visit. It could have been anywhere, because when he held me in his arms and I felt hs presence and his power I knew that was where i wanted to be forever.
4.HOW- did you react to his/her sentence??/HOW long has he/she been gone


I didn't know how long he got until 6 or 7 months into the relationship. I was kind of pissed because I felt betrayed. I was angry as hell because I didn't see the whole picture. It was like God sent me the perfect man and then let me have taste but was pulling the carrot away. When he told me that he had Life, I was crushed, but 7 years latter we are married, have a beautiful daughter and I have the perfect marriage minus him being home. We made it work and we continue to make it work. I have faith that he will be home one day. His case looks good too.

He has been in prison for 14 years so far.
