I bet you asked yourself that when you saw it.

This forum has been created because I felt that all of us who deal with the Death Penalty need a place to come and relax. The forum is to post anything non prison related in. Rather your having a good day a bad day. Something about the kids, something about your life.

When you life is falling apart we want to hear about it. When your life is going great we want to hear about it.
When you need a shoulder we are here. If you hear a good joke (Clean) we want to hear it.

So grab a drink, kick off your shoes, sit back and relax and come on it. We have plenty of Love and Plenty of chairs.

So come on in the weather is always great here on the Front Porch.

Please do remember that the Rules and Polices of PTO must be followed.

This forum does sound like a brilliant place! I guess my previous post in this forum, talking about a Sticky thread was right. Thank you Softie for creating such a soon-to-be wonderful place. It'll be good to have a place just to relax, and discuss things that are non-DP related. The others forums on PTO have something similar, so why shouldn't we? Thanks again! :D

I just want to throw in... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR FORUM TITLE. I think it is great. I know very little about the DP, but am learning everyday...so, I just might come back to sit on the porch with ya'all, if that is ok.

oh, and BTW, Softie...how are you doing? I miss you as my mentor.

I'm goind good... just itching a lot LOL......... I got to thinking. This is a great idea, but the DP some times clouds every minute of our mind and day, it's hard to turn it off and just relax once in a while and talk about stuff and laugh. This is a good thing, maybe help us learn how to turn that switch off once in a while and just relax................

I know it is in your mind 24/7 Joy. But it is good sometimes to step back and relax if only for a minute That way you can uncloud your mind.

I think the Front Porch is a great idea as this forum needs a place to relax. I think you should post your front porch picture in here as well to give it the extra warm touch. It was such a relaxing visualization

I am totally on pins and needles! I am sure I could use some help in day count, cause I might cheat and suddenly tell everyone that I'm leaving tomorrow when in reality I have 90 more days to go and it's only in my dreams it is tomorrow...

:D

Well, this is just fine. Will plunk down my rockin' chair and get comfy. Have to pass on drinks, unless it's iced tea or the like. But this does look like a fine place to unwind a bit.
