ALL U DO IS UPLOAD A PIC OF YOURSELF OR YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER...
I DID IT FOR MY MAN WITH HIS AND MINES PIC AND HE LOVED IT HE KNEW I DID IT TO MAKE HIM SMILE....:lol: u can go 2 my profile to see our examples :thumbsup:

I don't know if this has been posted before - but - if anyone uses Snapfish - you can order one of your favorite photos and have them turned into US Postage 42 cent stamps. I've done this once - I hold them for special occasion cards and letters, and my guy loves them. Just a thought for anyone looking for something new to do. The downside - you get a sheet of all the same photo.

Those stamps sound neat and yes we have discussed them a bit. users should be aware that while some places allow them, some do not.

speaking of custom faces, you can carve a virtual pumpkin and save the image. some sites let u save but some you would have to take a screen shot of it:
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=virtual+pumpkin+carving&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7

also there are images of 'real' pumpkins online:

this one is called "PumpkinPi":

and i guess you know what this one is called:

54090

and here are a couple i put captions on:

54093

54094

this one could be called SquashJudgement:

54092

and here are a few postcards i saw. there are more if you search:

Here's a nice site for e-cards for all occasions including Sweetest Day:
(You can easily drag the images over into word and use them to print out custom postcards or as inmages in letters)

The pumkin carving thingie is pretty cool ! I made a pumpkin for my guy turning it into a postcard and sending it off!! Thanks for the tip!!

great idea!

and LOL here too where i tried to take that face idea and make it 3-D like the christmas trees:

54176

i forgot half the face would have to be on the second paper!

54177

54178

i used some glowINthedark chalk from the dollar store but it doesn't glow.

That is so cute! You know, if any of you have those 3-D cookie cutters you can use them as stencils to trace unto card stock, cut out, color and send with instructions for making stand-up critters.

Standup critters! yea! like tabs or something. :) i saw a set of castle characters online (complete with dragon) and it would be way cool to send a set to play with.

like tabs or something.

the long strip at the bottom should circle around and slip together at Cuts 2a + 2b. Then Gumby's Ghost will have a round base to make him stand upright.

Gumby's Ghost could be a pic of any holiday character/friend/family member; also he could be any size, even a finger puppet. It's going to best if his size allows the strip to go into the envelope without getting folded.

I get a lot of my postcard books & Maze books from Dover. they are having a 30% off any $50 purchase right now. I tear the mazes out and send them. Some of the books work out well because you can tear out 4 pages of mazes with one maze on each side and then go to the back and tear out a page that has 4 solutions on each side so in the five page limit Florida DOC has, I can send 8 mazes and the solution page for all 8!

Thanks for the great links- my sweetie is super creative and artsy so links like these are helpful!

In an earlier post, I mentioned how you could use the South Park Yourself Site to make you and your man into a Southpark Character.

Well, I did it for a Pen Pal and his lovely wife based on a photo he sent me of the two of them and I found that the SOuthpark Yourself site now has an improved save function so it's really easy now to save the images.


Here's a link to my earlier post in this thread:
(Explains how to use the site)
http://prisontalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4018698&postcount=246


here's a link to the site:
http://www.sp-studio.de/

I would make my character in this order:

1. Choose skin color first, that brings out the body for you to work on - hands will be standard hands unless you choose special ones from the hands menu
2. Choose Background color by clicking on BACK
3. CHoose clothing
4. Choose hair
5. CHoose eyes and eyebrows - this is crucial for the expression on your face. One misstep and your face looks evil!
6. Choose mouth
7.choose STUFF and put in the things you need like glasses and accessories
8. Choose anything else you need

9.Click on the filing cabinet looking thing (which looks more like an iPod to me) towwards the right under the picture - name your file and save it as a JPEG

I did one of my pen pal, printed a bunch of the pants so I coulold trim them and then cut and paste them to make him taller than his wife and then did one of his wife. I printed them on white paper choosing a white background and then trimmed the fgures. I then cut and pasted them close together and scanned them back into my computer. This is what they look like now:

Here's another cute thing to print out if your guys is a grandparent -

You can upload pix of his grandbabies and create custom covers of them on the cover of Grand magazine, the magazine for Grandparents and then you can print them out or make cards with them:
PUT YOUR GRANDCHILD ON GRAND'S COVER

Just fill out the form below and your grandchild INSTANTLY becomes a cover grandchild!

The downside - you get a sheet of all the same photo.Those stamps sound neat and yes we have discussed them a bit. users should be aware that while some places allow them, some do not.

the USPS has a page on their website where they list/link the companies that are allowed to make custom stamps and they talk about a few of the different options each company has:

BTW:
If people need me to try and make the South Park characters of them and their guy, I can do it for you and then cut N paste you into one scene together, scan it back in and then send you the file as a JPEG. I don't mind doing a few of those now that I'm good at it.


Here's me and my hubby:

If your man is into Origami, I found a great site for FREE origami instructions - some of which are kinda difficult so look at them all and figuire out which ones you think he'd be patient enough to carry out. If you are printing the longer instructions, you might want to lay them out as half pages in booklet form. You can do that in MS Word. Then you can print on both sides of the page and fold the pages over to form an instruction booklet,

The Origami Swami

wow. what an amazing frog.

OK SO MY NEW IDEA IS ACTUALLY THE ONE ON MY AVY
ITS A PIC OF US AND THEN I DID SOME EFFECTS SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE WE DRESSED UP FOR HALLOWEEN....AND TO DO THIS YOU HAVE TO GO TO WWW.PICNIK.COM UPLOAD YOUR PIC AND GO TO THE "CREATE" TAB AND THEN ITS THE TAB "sHAPES" AND JUST HAVE FUN WITH IT

This site has some cute stationary pages, but you have to buy it by the pack and it is a bit expensive. What I do is I pick the one that I want and I save it to Microsoft Word. Then, I change the size to make it bigger or smaller, whatever size you need. I print it off and cut the border out so that it makes a picture frame. This is cute for scrapbooking and for pictures. I also make it a little bigger and print it out as smaller stationary pages. Hope I added something!

it's a little early but here's the Dover Christmas Sampler page:
http://www.doverpublications.com/christmassamples/

lots of clip art, printables and so on. be sure to save anything you like to a PDF file or drag the images over to Word in a document cuz Dover often takes sample pages down after a bit. Check out the Christmas Origami and the make your own Snowflakes patterns!

Leanin' Tree has great E-Cards for every holiday and occasion and you can use their images by dragging the thumbnail image over into Word. However, if you click on the sample with the animation, you cannot drag the image over:
http://www.leanintree.com/ECards.html

Here's another page of Dover Samples, this time from their Fun Kits:
http://www.doverpublications.com/funkits/samples/index.html

If you're wondering what to do with these, I usually drag the puzzle pages over into Word, enlarge them a little and then print them back to back with the answers if there are answers. My pen pals like the Hidden pictures puzzles a lot.

I also like to drag over interesting images and make stationary for my guys to use in letters to their kids or wives.


The more artistic guys often enjoy any of the dover "how to Draw" pr the Origami instruction pages. Whenever I see those in any of the dover weekly samplers, Again, I drag the images over into MS Word and wait until I have a few that I can print back to back. When I have about 4 or 6 pages worth of a single theme, I print them back to back and send with a letter. These are simple little crafts that they can do with just paper and a pen and it helps keep their mind busy especially when they're stuck in confinment.



For example, here are a few of the How to Draw pages you can print back to back:

I thought since I've included some Christian materials here I should also show some love to the Muslim members of PTO and/or their Muslim pen Pals. I have a Muslim Pen Pal who asked me to send him articles about his faith and I found a great source for them on the website for the Islamic Culture magazine The Fountain :

http://www.fountainmagazine.com/

You can look at the current issue, past issues and even search the archives for good articles. if you have trouble finding something appropriate, you are welcome to PM me and I will send you links to the articles that my Pen Pal liked the most.

For example, these two articles on Compassion was one of his all-time favorites:

http://www.fountainmagazine.com/print.php?SIN=c4339c5b54&k=310&378606507&show=part1
and
http://www.fountainmagazine.com/print.php?SIN=79b495bc65&k=425&450511118&show=part1


Here's a link to their Archives where you can just click on the photo of the old issue to see the article titles and links:

http://www.fountainmagazine.com/archives.php


I make sure to print the articles on both sides of the paper using the speical PRINT THIS option they have that formats the article into an easy to print template. Be sure to take a black sharpie and blot out the web address on the bottom of each page tho or they might get sent back to you.

That's so cool, kinda like the Southpark yourself thing I have been doing for my pen ppals and their wives or other PTOers. here are the posts on that for those that want to try it:

Actually, here's the better post on the subject cuz they updated the site - i won't list the earlier one:

South Park Yourself
http://prisontalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4076711&postcount=262


If other gals don't quite understand how to Southpark themselves, I've gotten really good at it and I'm happy to do it for you. All I need is a good image of you and your man either together or separate. Then, I will do each of you, cut them out and paste them together as a couple, scan that into my 'puter, turn it into a PDF file and shoot it to ya via email or PM.

I've done it for several gals already and I'm happy to do it cuz the guys always get a huge kick out of it! :D I made up some stationary for my pen pal of him and his wife southparkified and when he sent it to his wife she was blown away. Then I did a greeting card of me and my hubby meeting him and her in South Park and having a party with Stan, Kenny, Cartman & Kyle.

I am thanking the Good Lord he blessed me with such a great new scanner recently! I cashed in some giftcards I got from doing surveys and got a nice HP printer-scanner and it's great for making cards and stuff for my pen pals.


Speaking of Scanning - one thing I have been doing is buying some of the Dover Maze books when they're on sale and then scanning the mazes into the computer as well as the solutions so I can print them back to back and that way I don't have to tear up the book.

if you have more than one pen pal this is a great way to save mone or - if you want to then give the Maze book away as an Xmas gift to somebody. Same thing word searches or hidden pictures puzzles.

I also take full advantage of the seven or 8 different free sample emails that Dover sends each month : Children's books, clip art, design, paper dolls, coloring pages and so on.

What I do is drag the image of the sample over into WORD and then re-size it up or down to meet my needs. if there are lots of images on one sample, I drag it over, re-size it, print it out and then lay the print-out on the scanner bed and scan in only the image I want for my card or stationary, create it as a PDF file and then import it back into Word where I need it.

try it!



BTW - here I am Simpsonized and it worked very well!
Look:

ty hunnnnn

LOL. sorry, i meant a TEK on how/what to fill out for a free one.


Oh..OOOPs.

I belong to seven or eight different survey places that let you accumulate points for doing product surveys. some of them allowed you to cash your points out for Best Buy giftcards. When I had $150 in Giftcards, I waited for a sale and then found I had another $50 giftcard leftover from some deal I did there last year so I got the whole shebang for free plus some extra cartridges.

It's not as easy to get Best Buy Giftcards anymore. Now you can usually only get Amazon or iTunes but those are cool too.


Hey new idea speaking of the song Molly Bawn, after which I took my screen name (it means Molly the Fair or Fair Molly as in she has pale skin) -

One of my pen pals was very inspired by Barack Obama's election (please, I'm not trying to start a political debate, I'm just saying this by way of intro to the song lyrics I'm suggesting)...... and we've been talking about the Civil Rights movement. I sent him the lyrics to 2 Bruce Springsteen songs that have always meant a lot to me because they are about the struggle of ordinary people and they both elude to Moses and the Bible. Oddly enough, Springsteen sang them both at a rally the day before the election.

They are:

*The Promised Land - a defiant but hopeful song about taking charge

*The price You Pay - about all the good people who came before you but did not get to enter "the promised land" - seems to refer to JFK, RFK, Dr. King, Medgar Evers and so on.


Well, that got my pen pal in a certain mood and he asked me to send him the lyrics to Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" which I did and I also included the lyrics to the song "People Get Ready", "Keep Your Eyes On The Prize", Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" and Dion's "Abraham, Martin and John."

If any of your guys are in equally reflective moods this month and might care to hum some of these songs to themselves or just re-read the lyrics - consider those titles or other like them!

Other lyrics I have sent him recently include:

Van Morrsion's "Into the Mystic" - that's my and my husband's "Song" as a couple and I wanted to share it with him so he could maybe quote some of the lines to his wonderful wife such as the one that says.....
And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic

:D

Remember though - we can't cut and paste entire song lyrics in threads cuz it violates copyrights. it is OK though to quote a line or so or to tell us the title of a song that your fella likes the lyrics of. I like hearing those kinds of things myself cuz it gives me ideas of what to send!

well, i don't know, song lyrics are widely available on the net and i have never heard of objections being made in court yet.

and i do love the idea of lyrics to go with theme months. like christmas but year round. great idea! and great choices to recommend!

just now i searched 'inspirational lyrics' and got a few names that sounded familiar too. John Lennon and others.
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=inspirational+lyrics&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7

just fyi for SWIM>>to search for "lyrics"<<use that word plus the song or artist.

and u can get LEGAL audio downloads at archive.org.

Cakes - there was apparently an issue here on PTO about people copying and pasting song lyrics and some kind of official objection was made by somebody and now the general rule on them is no - don't post lyrics except if you need to say a line or two. Better to just say the name of the song and the artist and let people google it themselves.

Posting them in their entirety on PTO is against copyright policies. See link below:

Song Lyrics in Posts (http://www.prisontalk.com/forums/faq.php?faq=forum_rules#faq_lyrics)

However, locating them (and quoting them for your own use in a card or letter) is public info on the web.

thanx for the ideas!!!!! the south park was really easy

i wanted to add that all song lyrics and music are either copyrighted by the artist or thier label the lyrics on the internet are to be used for private or information purposes when you download music off the internet you pay for the service and the artist gets a percentage of that if the downloads are free it's illegal and your downloading from another user's computer however copyrights do expire but it's something like 60 years and it's only usable if someone else has not bought the rights to the song. i study advertising design and we needed to learn when producing commercials
i also wanted to added that if you really like a certain line in a song such as "together we will be forever" and you change just one word around or add a word like together we will be here forever who have voided the copyright and made it your own but if you wanted to do the whole song you would have to change a word in every line

I saw this christmas tree kit and thought it was pretty cool.

I know I have read through most of these posts, but I don't think I have seen this posted before...

I copy and past the graphics from "myspace" graphic pages and send those to hubby.
They have some great ones for holidays, missing you, love you, thinking of you, etc.

For some reason though, I can only copy and past at work (on word perfect) and not on my home computer (microsoft works).

This December I have been sending snowflakes to my hubby. I fold paper and cut it just like back in kindergarten to make paper snowflakes in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Sometimes I write right on the flakes for his letter. :) He really likes it! You can find tons of sites online that teach you how to make paper snowflakes.

Good luck, girls!

Today I've been printing out poems found online for Daddy and Step Dad's

g1ad to hear there are so many fe11ow snowf1ake 1overs! seems if we saved a11 those 1itt1e trianges we cut out of them we'd have p1enty of confetti for New Years!

55403

can't be1ieve a11 the fantastic ideas since i was here 1ast.

in addition to the snowf1akes, we did the paper do11s that have hands joined. You know the ones where it makes an accordian chain of identica1 1itt1e peop1e? except i put santa hats on them. Since i had sma11 scissors i customized some chains by adding an oddba11 figure at the end(s) of the chain (1ike a kitty or tree). Just 1eave extra at the end and don't cut it with the main accordian. More customizing by co1oring in faces/features. 1ike wife has green eyes or he has red hair..

Seems a sweet idea for a11 times, especia11y fami1y oriented 1etters or a big card (of two peop1e?) for Va1entines. or one fo1ded person? 1ike the two ha1ves of a who1e.

two ha1ves of one heart. maybe tear a heart in ha1f to use one piece for your 1etter but the other b1ank for him to use as your stationary.

i was 1ooking for a TEK on fo1ding a heart shaped enve1ope but came across pages about making a11 sorts, inc1uding your own enve1ope g1ue :cool::

btw, Va1entines is when this thread started so there are a few ideas for that on page one :p.

For some reason though, I can only copy and paste at work (on word perfect) and not on my home computer (microsoft works).

...

Copy articles from web sites onto a word document, so much easier to print.

There are free word processing programs you can down1oad. here is an artic1e that 1inks to some good ones:
http://wordprocessing.about.com/od/freebies/


and then scanning the mazes into the computer as well as the solutions so I can print them back to back and that way I don't have to tear up the book
great idea. guess you cou1d use a camera too? which wou1d be especia11y handy if the book wasn't at home, 1ike a friend's or the 1ibrary (or bookstore :) ).


music...if the downloads are free it's illegalnot at archive org. A11 is free domain and sponsored by same that does pub1ic tv. besides audio, they have o1d radio shows and copies of a11 craw1ab1e pages from the Net past and present.

and (then) you're downloading from another user's computerthat is ca11ed "torrent". and it's different from hosted sites 1ike the archive.

however copyrights do expire but it's something like 60 yearsit varies depending on medium. songs are 10 years un1ess you renew. visua1 works are protected for the 1ife of the artist.


but if you wanted to do the whole song you would have to change a word in every line
if the work is sti11 easi1y recognizab1e to the pub1ic or a specia1ty group, it is enfringement.

SUPERBOWL COUNTDOWN

The NFL has an official website, bet you' would never have guessed that! ha ha. lots and lots of text. better than I've seen in any sports mag or newspaper.

and if ur man calls you during the fourth quarter than he can vote for MVP. in the meantime he can vote through you for many things:


LaDainian Tomlinson is among the nominees for the FedEx Air & Ground Players of the Week (http://www.nfl.com/fedex) awards. Cast your votes now!

GMC Defensive Player (http://www.nfl.com/partner?partnerType=players-defense)

Top defensive plays (http://www.nfl.com/partner?partnerType=plays-defense)
Home Depot MVP (http://www.nfl.com/partner?partnerType=neighborhood-mvp)

here is the page showing the playoff schedule:
http://www.nfl.com/schedules?seasonType=POST#Week

it shows a week break before SuperBowl like usual but NEXT year they will use that break to play the ProBowl. now that trips me out because wouldn't you have players from the SuperBowl nominated? so then either they risk injury if they play or else we would not have our Pros actually IN the ProBowl? OMG the things we sink to in order to maintain viewer ratings and not leave a blank week in the tv schedule.

here is the page with the ProBowl roster, the chart DID cut and paste real well onto a doc for me:

December was his birthday(31years old) and he told me he was extra horny, to send him books(erotic ones) and pictures of me..in a bathing suit one of the inmates made for him to give to me. i got the suit, fits(weird) and took the pics, but i don't want to get the books. i'm afraid he will lose the real feeling of being with a woman by stimulaing himself with books? Anyone can help???

another idea for a printout is when you search a song for the lyrics copy and paste it into like word document or something then double space it so that in between each lyric line you have space to write something like how a lyric can connect to what you and him have or a funny memory or reword the lyrics in the space like a custom remix of the song.

leaving space for adds is great. thanks!


i'm afraid he will lose the real feeling of being with a woman by stimulaing himself with books? Anyone can help???
You might get better life advice in another thread. but personally, i am pretty sure that the right answer does NOT include denying him sex in any way. totally last thing you want to happen. As far as him getting out of the habit of a real woman, well it might be like riding a bike plus he will not switch from you TO books<<that i can assure you. so might be choice is this>>either YOU write the pron or else just send what he asks for.

caution upon you if surfing pron sites. it is THE best place to get virus.

and about that bathingsuit. now maybe i shouldn't say, but to wear what some other dude made? that smells of jailhouse politics. i personally would maybe send him an excuse saying it got messed up in the mail or such.

a printable version of the ProBowl roster:
http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2008/12/17/sports/doc4948db9ab3b61505963057.prt


players in the probowl per team: New York Jets 7, Minnesota Vikings 6, Tennessee Titans 6, New York Giants 6, Baltimore Ravens 5, Arizona Cardinals 5, Indianapolis Colts 4, Dallas Cowboys 5 (woo Cowboys!!), Pittsburgh Steelers 3, Carolina Panthers 4, Cleveland Browns 2, Washington Redskins 4, Denver Broncos 2, Atlanta Falcons 2, Houston Texans 2, Green Bay Packers 2, Kansas City Chiefs 2, Philadelphia Eagles 2, Miami Dolphins 2, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2, New England Patriots 2, Chicago Bears 1, Oakland Raiders 2, New Orleans Saints 1, San Diego Chargers 2, San Francisco 49ers 1 (boo niners/!), Buffalo Bills 1, Seattle Seahawks 1, Cincinnati Bengals 0, Detroit Lions 0, Jacksonville Jaguars 0, St. Louis Rams 0.
The football sites all have discussion threads on these events. It seems real nice for the inmate to have that conversation. like, my friend is always in isolation so you can imagine. Plus he roots for a team that is not local to him now. So happens his team is not in the playoffs this year but i went to their website and they had convos about plans for next year..who to get rid of, who to trade for, if we need a new coach..all very candid and full of jargon.

I'm awake early also and just read your comments about porn sites being a great way to get a virus. I have had some of my broke penpals beg me to find semi nude/lingerie photos that were allowable and that they could sell. Christmas Day I had my computer totally wiped out. Everything gone including the OS. It's way more time consuming than they imagine, costly to print out, and very often they are sent back even when I try to follow the rules which vary from one prison to the next in the same state.howdy,

so very sorry to hear of your troubles. but yea to the bartering idea cause i am always on the lookout for those to send, thanxz.

if you had a macintosh then you might be a little safer i am told but truth is u gotta draw the line somewhere because no kidding about headaches looking for that stuff, i have spent a couple nights at it so i know just as well as you how fruitless it can be/sort of like looking for 'freebies' LOL.

if you are still willing to try, maybe try photobucket and imageshack because there will be certain users who specialize in that stuff plus those servers will already have deleted the outright nudity plus no virus.

here is what i mean:
http://photobucket.com/groupsearch/sexy (http://photobucket.com/groupsearch/sexy)

two other ideas:
lingerie catalogs. usually cost a dollar or few tho and not all are 'soft pron'. i think victorias secret is prolly one of the best.
washable pens. i haven't tried it but somewhere i heard you can mark out pix in a way such they can be uncovered.

once i did find a site that had free stuff and no virus. i think you will get spam just by visiting it though..seems i did tho i don't know how. it wasn't a lot. name was barfland.

here is an origami site
http://www.origami-fun.com/index.html

and here is some origami paper you can print for free.

washable pens. i haven't tried it but somewhere i heard you can mark out pix in a way such they can be uncovered.

.

Yeah, that was a rumor of sorts going around my Man's prison. He told me that they even had a way of getting permenant marker off the picture (those boys can do anything... they're all too crafty!) so he told me to send in some photos.
Well, maybe a few people were able to get those in, but it didn't last long, cause now if there is ANY alteration to the photo, I mean pen, marker, anything, they will reject it.

I went to the cinema the other day and in the front row was an
old man and with him was his dog. It was a sad funny kind of film, you know
the type. In the sad part, the dog cried his eyes out, and in the funny part,
the dog laughed its head off. This happened all the way through the film.
After the film had ended, I decided to go and speak to the man.

"That's the most amazing thing I've seen," I said. "That dog
really seemed to enjoy the film."

The man turned to me and said, "Yeah, it is amazing. He hated the book."

What do you call a sick dog?
A germy shepherd!

The Americans and Russians at the height of the arms race realized
that if they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up
the whole world.

One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with
one dog fight. They would have five years to breed the best fighting
dog in the world and which ever side's dog won would be entitled to
dominate the world. The losing side would have to lay down its arms.

The Russians found the biggest meanest Doberman and Rottweiler
females in the world and bred them with the biggest meanest
Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy
from each litter, killed his siblings, and gave him all the milk. They
used steroids and trainers and after five years came up with the
biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel
bars that were five inches thick and nobody could get near it.

When the day came for the dog fight, the Americans showed up with
a strange animal. It was a nine foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt
sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that
this dog could possibly last ten seconds with the Russian dog.

When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of it's
cage and slowly waddled over towards the Russian dog. The Russian
dog snarled and leaped out of it's cage and charged the American
dachshund. But, when it got close enough to bite the Dachshund's
neck, the Dachshund opened it's mouth and consumed the Russian
dog in one bite. There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.

The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in
disbelief. "We don't understand how this could have happened. We
had our best people working for five years with the meanest
Doberman and Rottweiler females in the world and the biggest
meanest Siberian wolves."

"That's nothing", an American replied. "We had our best plastic
surgeons working for five years to make an alligator look like a
Dachshund.

A wealthy old woman decided to go on a safari in Africa. She brought her
faithful pet poodle along for company. One day the dog starts chasing
butterflies and before long the dog discovers that it is lost. As it was wandering
about it saw a leopard heading it's direction with the
obvious intention of having lunch.

The dog thinks, "Boyo, I'm in deep doo-doo now." But then he noticed
some bones on the ground and came up with a plan; he immediately
settled down to chew on the bones and did not watch the
approaching leapord but just when it was about to leap, the dog exclaimed loudly,
"Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"

The leapord heard this and halted his attack in mid stride as a look of
terror came over him..he crept away and said
"Whew! That was close. That dog nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a
nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade
it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes but the dog saw
the monkey run after the leopard and figured that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and
strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The cat is furious at being
made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see
what's going to happen to that conniving canine."

Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and
thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits
down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet.
And just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's
that monkey. I can never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago
to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

How many dogs does it take to change a lightbulb?
When asked that question, certain dogs respond differently:

A librarian was quietly working when three chickens walked in and jumped on to the counter eyed her and said "BUK BUK BUK" Not sure she was sane she gave the chikens three books and they left. An hour later in walked the chickens again jumped onto the counter, returned the books they had taken earlier and said "BUK BUK BUK" Now convinced she was out of her mind she gave them three books, they took one each and left. This time she decided to follow them. She followed them down to the local pond and stood horrified as they threw the books toward the pond but all of a sudden they flew back and a frog stuck it's head up saying "RREDIT RREDIT RREDIT!"

What do you call a frog with no hind legs? Unhoppy!!

I''d like a new frog, please. But you bought one only yesterday. What happened? It Kermit-ted suicide.

A skeleton walks into a bar and orders a beer and a mop.

Two men walk into a bar. The third man ducks.

A fly walks into as bar and says to a lady "nice stool you're sitting on."

A neutron walks into a bar. "I'd like a beer," he says. The bartender promptly serves up a beer.
"How much will that be?" asks the neutron.
"For you?" replies the bartender, "no charge."

One day Bill complained to his friend, "My elbow really hurts, I guess I should see a doctor."

His friend offered, "Don't do that. There's a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker an cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs $10."

Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed: You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks.

Late that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled. He decided to give it a try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction.

He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:

Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better.
A Captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a desert outpost. On his orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking camel tied out back of the enlisted mens barracks. He asked the Sergeant leading the tour, "What's the camel for?".

The Sergeant replied "Well sir it's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have the camel."

The captain said "Well if it's good for moral, then I guess it's all right with me."

After he had been at the fort for about 6 months the captain could not stand it any more so he told his Sergeant, "BRING IN THE CAMEL!!!"

The sarge shrugged his shoulders and led the camel into the captains quarters. The captain got a foot stool & proceeded to have vigorous sex with the camel. As he stepped, satisfied,
down from the stool, and was buttoning his pants he asked the Sergeant, "Is that how the enlisted men do it?"

The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, they usually just use it to ride into town."
A man buys several sheep, hoping to breed them for wool. After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant, and calls a veterinarian for help. The vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination.

The guy doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and will instead lay down and wallow in the grass when they are pregnant.

The man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means HE has to impregnate the sheep. So, he loads the sheep into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the truck again.

He drives them out to the woods, bangs each sheep twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed. The next morning he wakes to find the sheep still just standing around.

One more try, he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the sheep and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.

The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the sheep. He asks his wife to look out and tell him if the sheep are laying in the grass.

"No," she says, "they're all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn."
Jesus and Saint Peter are golfing. St. Peter steps up to the tee on a par three and hits one long and straight. It reaches the green. Jesus is up next. He slices it. It heads over the fence into traffic on an adjacent street. Bounces off a truck, onto the roof of a nearby shack and into the rain gutter, down the drain spout and onto a lilly pad at the edge of a lake. A frog jumps up and snatches the ball in his mouth. An eagle swoops down, grabs the frog. As the eagle flies over the green, the frog croaks and drops the ball. It’s in the hole. Saint Peter looks at Jesus, exasperated. "Are you gonna play golf?" he asks "Or are you just gonna fuck around?"
A guy dies and is sent to Hell. Satan meets him, shows him doors to three rooms, and says he must choose one spend eternity in. In the first room, people are standing in shit up to their necks. The guy says "no, let me see the next room." In the second room, people are standing with shit up to their noses. Guy says no again. Finally, Satan opens the door to the third room. People are standing with shit up to their knees, drinking coffee and eating danish pastries. The guy says, "I pick this room." Satan says okay and starts to leave, and the guy wades in and starts pouring some coffee. On the way out Satan yells, "O.K., coffee break's over. Everyone back on your heads!"

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Sir, did you know there's a steering wheel sticking out of your pants?"

The pirate replies, "Arghhh... and it's been driving me nuts."

A Rabbi, a Pollock, a blonde, a Russian, a priest, and a nun walk into the bar. The bartender says "What is this? Some kind of joke?"
I went to my doctor and told him "my penis is burning." He said, "That means somebody is talking about it." (Garry Shandling)


I failed my driver's test. The guy asked me, "What do you do at a red light?" I said, "I don't know... look around, listen to the radio ..."

The Dalai Lama walks up to a hot dog vendor and says, "Make me one with everything."

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at the saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on newcomers. When he finished, he found his horse had been stolen.

He comes back into the bar, handily flips his gun into the air, catches it above his head without even looking and fires a shot into the ceiling. "Who stole my horse?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.

No one answered.

"I'm gonna have another beer and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I'm finished, I'm gonna do what I dun back in Texas and I don't want to have to do what I dun back in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly.

He had another beer, walked outside, and his horse was back! He saddled up and started to ride out of town.

The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, what happened in Texas?"

The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home!"

This farmer has 500 hens but no rooster so he goes to his neighbor and asks him if he could buy a rooster for $100. The neighbor says, "You can HAVE this rooster. His name is Roy. He''ll get all your hens pregnant. He''s a real stud." So the farmer takes him home and says, "It''s your first day so take it slow, okay?" The farmer puts Roy in the hen house and then hears all the hens crying and yelling. Roy nailed every one of those hens and then nailed a duck and a goose at a pond. The next morning the farmer finds Roy lying on the ground with his legs sticking in the air and buzzards circling overhead. The farmer says, "Roy, did you go and die?" Roy says, "Quiet! They're about to land!"

There was a farmer who had a lot of live stock. He had cows, horses, chickens, pigs, and bulls. One day a terrible twister came and the man and his family were only saved by throwing themselves in the nearest ditch. After it was all over, he looked up to see that the house was gone. Saddened by the loss, he went out to see if any of the animals had survived. The horses, chickens, pigs, and cows were laid out flat but the bulls were standing! The farmer was amazed and asked them, "How is it that all the other animals are down and you are still standing?" The bulls replied, "We bulls wobble but we don't fall down!"

Why females should avoid a girls night out after they are married....
If this does not make you laugh out loud, you have lost your sense of humor.

The other night I was invited out for a night with the 'girls.' I told my husband that I would be home by midnight .... 'I promise!' Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home.Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times.Quickly, realizing my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9 cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him 'MIDNIGHT'... he didn't seem pissed off in the least.Whew, I got away with that one!Then he said 'We need a new cuckoo clock.'When I asked him why, he said, 'Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said 'oh shit.' cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.

Why you should give a simple explanation to kids…
A little girl asked her mom, "Mom, may I take the dog for a walk around the block?"
Mom replies, "No, because she is in heat."
"What's that mean?" asked the child.
"Go ask your father. I think he's in the garage."
The little girl goes to the garage and says, "Dad, may I take Belle for a
walk around the block? I asked Mom, but she said the dog was in heat,
and to come to you."
Dad said, "Bring Belle over here." He took a rag, soaked it with
gasoline, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and
said "OK, you can go now, but keep Belle on the leash and only go one time
round the block."
The little girl left, and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the
leash. Surprised, Dad asked, "Where's Belle?"
(*YOU'RE GONNA' LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!*)
The little girl said, "She ran out of gas about halfway down the block,
so another dog is pushing her home."

Not sure if this has been posted or not... but if you go to TuckerMax.com there are several stories on there that you can print out. Now, mind you, they are rude and crude, and not just anyone will enjoy these stories. Me and my guy both have that same kind of sense of humor, so we both think they are hilarious, and so did his buddies.
After sending him a few of the short stories, I ended up ordering him the book since he enjoyed them so much! They are sure to get you laughing hysterically if you find humor in those sorts of things. :D

I just want to thank everyone for these helpful posts, I think I have read every single one. I dont have a link to post and this isnt something my bf would be interested in but I do remember as a gag gift once a friend of mine got her bf an X rated connect the dots. Might be fun for some of you to send.

The other thing I was thinking that may be fun is printable "How To Draw" pages. If nothing else, its a good time waster for your loved one. You can order these kinds of books inexpensively on Amazon.com too.

Here is a link: http://www.drawspace.com/


Also I read earlier about someone sending her man a list of women pen pals that he sold or whatever, anyone know where I can find a list of something like this? Or is that like not really appropriate?

Oh and also for those of you who have sent envelopes full of hearts....did you just trace hearts onto different color papers and cut them out or do you mean like confetti hearts? Is confetti allowed? That may be cute for a birthday and so would construction paper balloons

to find a site with non-inmate american snail addies listed doesn't seem likely but u could try.

someone sending her man a list of women that was me but let me make it clear that i am not actually recommending someone send such a list to "their man". in other words, the guy i send them to is not someone i intend for a husband and i would never send a list like that to someone i loved in that way. fyi to the youngsters in case it didn't occur to you.

Or is that like not really appropriate?this varies by place. like at some the lists are not allowed because no correspondence between state prisons or such. but some they are. and some the inmate will have to have that person put on their approved list before being able to receive their mail; so the first letter(s) might have to be to/from the outside.

did you just trace hearts onto different color papers and cut them out or do you mean like confetti hearts? Is confetti allowed? That may be cute for a birthday and so would construction paper balloons
55765

believe it or not, at some places the different colored papers are not allowed, only color allowed is crayons of a child type drawing. but shapes are not prohibited.

i love confetti type stuff and when i pack a letter with many small things i always wonder if some get lost during inspection.

believe it or not, at some places the different colored papers are not allowed, only color allowed is crayons of a child type drawing. but shapes are not prohibited.


I've actually had a few of my son's pictures rejected that he sent in to his Dad because he drew them in crayon (he's 5, so you can tell they're done by a child). In Oregon, crayon is not allowed at all. It's very frustrating, so I just photo copy anything he does at school that I want to send to his Dad.

I am definitely going to go through this thread.

We printed our's out on regular white paper and I let the kids color them with colored pencils and marker and then I cut them out. They're part of his Valentines "present" along with other pics the kids drew and such.

Cute thanks

Something I enjoy doing is making photo stamps. There are many differnet websites, just google custom stamps or photo stamps. If is just an extra way to customize the envelope.
Thanks for all the ideas!

Hello
I use Zazzle.com, they have a great service. I uploaded some pictures and put them into the stamps, ordered them to go directly to the inmate and they were accepted by the Mail Room with no problem. Just check out Zazzle.com. My honey really liked that I took all of his cards he made me and turned them into stamps for him to use. Came out great too.

Good luck.

Standing in line at the PostOffice is not fun! earlier someone mentioned at the USPS website u can get a list of all sites that offer custom pix on stamps. be careful of buying too many until you see if your place wil accept them. like California state said no in last year's reg update.

further re custom pic stamps..
if you are one of those poeple who are good at dealing with 'trial' memberships (which means i am out because i never remember to cancel after the first month, LOL)..one of the online postage places has been having a sale for a while. a one month trial works out to getting about 20 stamps for free. but not custom picture stamps, just convenient ones.

http://www.stamps.com/postage-online/how-it-works/

low monthly fee of $17.99 to use the serviceso, for that you get $25 in postage plus a scale (which might be good for an extra felony when parole visits :eek:).


just an extra way to customize the envelope
toadally. i wish my printer worked right now, i'd be feeding my envelopes through it to put images on them. heck i guess you could even print images inside by taking the envelope apart or folding ur own.

lots of envelope patterns online. i am starting to save them. this one i had to resize and erase the website's URL:

55861

i might fold it so the colors do not impede the barcode the USPS will print. got it here, lots more. not all impede the barcode:

http://www.graphicgarden.com/files17/eng/print/envelop1.php

that site is called graphic garden and it reminds me that there are many 'free seed envelopes', very pretty, but generally need resizing.

this envelope is like two hearts:

Friends who email me a lot like to send surveys with fun questions. Here's one that someone sent me yesterday with an example of how to answer it. My co-workers and I have had fun sending answers back and forth today. It might be a fun one for our loved ones to do. It may also be fun to add other categories to it (song titles, movie titles, books, sports, celebrities' names, etc.)

Rules: IT'S HARDER THAN IT LOOKS! ERASE MY ANSWERS, ENTER YOURS, SEND IT ON TO 10 PEOPLE INCLUDING THE ONE THAT SENT THIS TO YOU. USE THE 1ST LETTER OF YOUR NAME TO ANSWER EACH OF THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. THEY HAVE TO BE REAL PLACES, NAMES,THINGS. NOTHING MADE UP! TRY TO USE DIFFERENT ANSWERS IF THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU HAD THE SAME 1ST INITIAL. YOU CAN'T USE YOUR NAME FOR THE BOY/GIRL NAME QUESTION.

1. What is your name: Terri

2. A 4 Letter word: Tone

3. A Boys Name: Tyler

4. A Girls Name: Tatiana

5. An Occupation: Teacher

6. A Color: Tan
7. Something you wear: Tags (unfortunately)

8. A Beverage: Tea

9. A Food: Turkey

10. Something found in the bathroom: Toilet Tissue (double points right?)

11. A place: Texas

12. A reason for being late: Traffic

13. Something you shout: Tackle ‘em!

Guys really like machines/gadgets sometimes. and thinking about how things work makes my brain feel good too. so it seems a good idea to send that kind of text.

here are a few images that i have collected due to my interest in gardening:

this first one is like a pulley or windmill

you can donate to this cause at PlayPumps

spiral water wheel, can also make electricity of course

i really love this stuff beyond gardenig tho. recently found out the first computer was circa 1200 AD, made by the same guy who made the first cookoo clock:

I hadn't even thought about it .... that's a cute idea. I have some AWESOME temp tattoo's that I bought for the kids. Lol. They won't mind donating some of them to send to him, heck they'd probably be picking them out for me.

Ladies it's almost time for Valentines and I found some great stuff at this web site
http://www.poetspassion.com/category.htm?C=4
Its erotic poems etc, enjoy! Not just for Valentines day!!!!!!

Thanks for the share!!

My guy had a web site he visited everyday so I go there, copy/paste threads I think he would have enjoyed and enclose them with my letters.

Some are technical, some are jokes, some are just threads his friends are joining in on.

pueblo publications from the US gov are still free. u can choose a LOT of titles or have a catalog of titles sent (scoll down for that):

http://www.pueblo.gsa.gov/

NASA will send stats and maps of upcoming Solar Eclipses if you jet them a 9x12 SASE:

http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEpubs/RPrequest.html

the one this summer is happening over China which may be significant considering the solar flares that happened right before their last huge earthquake. it's a little north of the one that will happen 4/20 2012.

one for north america is in 2045. i'm not sure but it might be our last for another couple hundred years.

i take alot of pictures with my cell phone camera of me doing ..different things & i print them & send them to him..every other day! He ask's me to do poses & expressions & i do & he loves it..
how do you get your pics off your cell phone?

everyone - thank you for all of the ideas. All are absolutely
great.

Question though - someone mentioned that stickers are not
allowed. Do you mean not allowed on the outside of envelopes
and/or affixed to the letters themselves? I hope not cuz,
i sent a letter today with stickers on the last page. My first
time doing so.i did too oops

how do you get your pics off your cell phone?


i have a cord that goes from my phone to the computer and can move them that way or i bluetooth them to the pic printers at walmart.

That's a great idea about copying and pasting things your husband would like in letters to him. I would have never thought of that . Thanks for the great suggestion !! :)
And I noticed the question wasn't answered about stickers. Does any one know ? Maybe the best thing to do would be to call the mail room at whatever facility they are at and ask them. That way we won't break any rules, by not knowing if we were or not. That's my opinion . :confused:
One thing I do is send my husband copies of song lyrics , that have a special meaning or that he just likes, or to send him a thoughts from the heart . :musical:
I also joined a card making site, I make him personalized cards. He just loves them !! He'll go through them when he's missing me , he sys it helps him feel closer to me cause he knows I made them just for him ! Aw, that's so sweet ! :lovestruck:
Looking forward to any other suggestions to make his letters better .
:thnx: :wave:

how do you get your pics off your cell phone?


You can also just email them to yourself (if you have a data plan), and then voila! there they are! :D

I'm sure this has probably been asked before...so if so, I apologize for not searching the thread...lol However I was just curious if I were to buy a puzzle or trivia book...could I just like take pages out of the book and send him a few within my letters or does it have to be like printed off the computer for it to get through?

I used to do that when my husband was in the county jail he was in here in Mississippi . But I have learned by reading threads on PTO that every facility has different rules. So the best way to find out anything about what you can and can't mail your Loved One is to call the Mail Room at the facility he is at. That is what I have done on several occasions, and they have always been nice and didn't seem to mind answering my questions. Hope that helps you and any others that may be wondering what they can do. :)

I just got like ten different ideas from this thread...thanks! :) We do the song lyrics, colored pics, he writes me a ton of poetry....one of our favorites is our surveys. I used to copy & paste them from myspace or somewhere but now we just make up our own Q's for each other....been a lot of fun....

oh no im gonna be addicted to all this stuff now! lol hunny is gonna wish he never sent me his address!!! lol

write a list of 50 or 100 reasons why you love your guy and mail it to him. could be big things he does or just small little things. How he opens doors for you, the way he laughs, the way your hands fit perfectly together, places you go together. Just everything you love about him. My guy cried and wouldn't stop talking about it for a week when I did it

We do the surveys, too! I'm not too creative, so I copy and paste from myspace survey sites. He makes up ridiculous cute questions though. :p

Don't know if anyone is interested, found a site called "hoochymail.com" It's like an ad-lib erotic story site. You put in your names and other things you like and it creates a story for you. I've printed a few off and sent them to my man, he loves 'em. :thumbsup:


tip: this site is meant for long distant couples- so you're supposed to send it to his email. Just make a second email account on yahoo or hotmail or whatever and send it to that, you need two email accounts for this to work!

I was wondering if anyone maybe new of an adult quiz or questionaire i could sent to my man :D if anyone knows of any or a site to get them from please pass on to me:p

I went to the cinema the other day and in the front row was an
old man and with him was his dog. It was a sad funny kind of film, you know
the type. In the sad part, the dog cried his eyes out, and in the funny part,
the dog laughed its head off. This happened all the way through the film.
After the film had ended, I decided to go and speak to the man.

"That's the most amazing thing I've seen," I said. "That dog
really seemed to enjoy the film."

The man turned to me and said, "Yeah, it is amazing. He hated the book."

What do you call a sick dog?
A germy shepherd!

The Americans and Russians at the height of the arms race realized
that if they continued in the usual manner they were going to blow up
the whole world.

One day they sat down and decided to settle the whole dispute with
one dog fight. They would have five years to breed the best fighting
dog in the world and which ever side's dog won would be entitled to
dominate the world. The losing side would have to lay down its arms.

The Russians found the biggest meanest Doberman and Rottweiler
females in the world and bred them with the biggest meanest
Siberian wolves. They selected only the biggest and strongest puppy
from each litter, killed his siblings, and gave him all the milk. They
used steroids and trainers and after five years came up with the
biggest meanest dog the world had ever seen. Its cage needed steel
bars that were five inches thick and nobody could get near it.

When the day came for the dog fight, the Americans showed up with
a strange animal. It was a nine foot long Dachshund. Everyone felt
sorry for the Americans because they knew there was no way that
this dog could possibly last ten seconds with the Russian dog.

When the cages were opened up, the Dachshund came out of it's
cage and slowly waddled over towards the Russian dog. The Russian
dog snarled and leaped out of it's cage and charged the American
dachshund. But, when it got close enough to bite the Dachshund's
neck, the Dachshund opened it's mouth and consumed the Russian
dog in one bite. There was nothing left at all of the Russian dog.

The Russians came up to the Americans shaking their heads in
disbelief. "We don't understand how this could have happened. We
had our best people working for five years with the meanest
Doberman and Rottweiler females in the world and the biggest
meanest Siberian wolves."

"That's nothing", an American replied. "We had our best plastic
surgeons working for five years to make an alligator look like a
Dachshund.

A wealthy old woman decided to go on a safari in Africa. She brought her
faithful pet poodle along for company. One day the dog starts chasing
butterflies and before long the dog discovers that it is lost. As it was wandering
about it saw a leopard heading it's direction with the
obvious intention of having lunch.

The dog thinks, "Boyo, I'm in deep doo-doo now." But then he noticed
some bones on the ground and came up with a plan; he immediately
settled down to chew on the bones and did not watch the
approaching leapord but just when it was about to leap, the dog exclaimed loudly,
"Man, that was one delicious leopard. I wonder if there are any more around here?"

The leapord heard this and halted his attack in mid stride as a look of
terror came over him..he crept away and said
"Whew! That was close. That dog nearly had me."

Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a
nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade
it for protection from the leopard. So, off he goes but the dog saw
the monkey run after the leopard and figured that something must be up.

The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and
strikes a deal for himself with the leopard. The cat is furious at being
made a fool of and says, "Here monkey, hop on my back and see
what's going to happen to that conniving canine."

Now the dog sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back, and
thinks, "What am I going to do now?" But instead of running, the dog sits
down with his back to his attackers pretending he hasn't seen them yet.
And just when they get close enough to hear, the dog says, "Where's
that monkey. I can never trust him. I sent him off half an hour ago
to bring me another leopard, and he's still not back!!"

Old English Sheep Dog: Light bulb? Light bulb? That thing I just ate was a light bulb?

A librarian was quietly working when three chickens walked in and jumped on to the counter eyed her and said "BUK BUK BUK" Not sure she was sane she gave the chikens three books and they left. An hour later in walked the chickens again jumped onto the counter, returned the books they had taken earlier and said "BUK BUK BUK" Now convinced she was out of her mind she gave them three books, they took one each and left. This time she decided to follow them. She followed them down to the local pond and stood horrified as they threw the books toward the pond but all of a sudden they flew back and a frog stuck it's head up saying "RREDIT RREDIT RREDIT!"

One day Bill complained to his friend, "My elbow really hurts, I guess I should see a doctor."

His friend offered, "Don't do that. There's a computer at the drug store that can diagnose anything quicker an cheaper than a doctor. Simply put in a sample of your urine and the computer will diagnose your problem and tell you what you can do about it. It only costs $10."

Bill figured he had nothing to lose, so he filled a jar with a urine sample and went to the drug store. Finding the computer, he poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer started making some noise and various lights started flashing. After a brief pause out popped a small slip of paper on which was printed: You have tennis elbow. Soak your arm in warm water. Avoid heavy lifting. It will be better in two weeks.

Late that evening while thinking how amazing this new technology was and how it would change medical science forever, he began to wonder if this machine could be fooled. He decided to give it a try. He mixed together some tap water, a stool sample from his dog and urine samples from his wife and daughter. To top it off, he masturbated into the concoction.

He went back to the drug store, located the machine, poured in the sample and deposited the $10. The computer again made the usual noise and printed out the following message:

Your tap water is too hard. Get a water softener. Your dog has worms. Get him vitamins. Your daughter is using cocaine. Put her in a rehabilitation clinic. Your wife is pregnant with twin girls. They aren't yours. Get a lawyer. And if you don't stop jerking off, your tennis elbow will never get better.
A Captain in the foreign legion was transferred to a desert outpost. On his orientation tour he noticed a very old, seedy looking camel tied out back of the enlisted mens barracks. He asked the Sergeant leading the tour, "What's the camel for?".

The Sergeant replied "Well sir it's a long way from anywhere, and the men have natural sexual urges, so when they do, uh, we have the camel."

The captain said "Well if it's good for moral, then I guess it's all right with me."

After he had been at the fort for about 6 months the captain could not stand it any more so he told his Sergeant, "BRING IN THE CAMEL!!!"

The sarge shrugged his shoulders and led the camel into the captains quarters. The captain got a foot stool & proceeded to have vigorous sex with the camel. As he stepped, satisfied,
down from the stool, and was buttoning his pants he asked the Sergeant, "Is that how the enlisted men do it?"

The Sergeant replied, "Well sir, they usually just use it to ride into town."
A man buys several sheep, hoping to breed them for wool. After several weeks, he notices that none of the sheep are getting pregnant, and calls a veterinarian for help. The vet tells him that he should try artificial insemination.

The guy doesn't have the slightest idea what this means but, not wanting to display his ignorance, only asks the vet how he will know when the sheep are pregnant. The vet tells him that they will stop standing around and will instead lay down and wallow in the grass when they are pregnant.

The man hangs up and gives it some thought. He comes to the conclusion that artificial insemination means HE has to impregnate the sheep. So, he loads the sheep into his truck, drives them out into the woods, has sex with them all, brings them back and goes to bed.

Next morning, he wakes and looks out at the sheep. Seeing that they are all still standing around, he concludes that the first try didn't take, and loads them in the truck again.

He drives them out to the woods, bangs each sheep twice for good measure, brings them back and goes to bed. The next morning he wakes to find the sheep still just standing around.

One more try, he tells himself, and proceeds to load them up and drive them out to the woods. He spends all day shagging the sheep and, upon returning home, falls listlessly into bed.

The next morning, he cannot even raise himself from the bed to look at the sheep. He asks his wife to look out and tell him if the sheep are laying in the grass.

"No," she says, "they're all in the truck and one of them is honking the horn."
Jesus and Saint Peter are golfing. St. Peter steps up to the tee on a par three and hits one long and straight. It reaches the green. Jesus is up next. He slices it. It heads over the fence into traffic on an adjacent street. Bounces off a truck, onto the roof of a nearby shack and into the rain gutter, down the drain spout and onto a lilly pad at the edge of a lake. A frog jumps up and snatches the ball in his mouth. An eagle swoops down, grabs the frog. As the eagle flies over the green, the frog croaks and drops the ball. It’s in the hole. Saint Peter looks at Jesus, exasperated. "Are you gonna play golf?" he asks "Or are you just gonna fuck around?"
A guy dies and is sent to Hell. Satan meets him, shows him doors to three rooms, and says he must choose one spend eternity in. In the first room, people are standing in shit up to their necks. The guy says "no, let me see the next room." In the second room, people are standing with shit up to their noses. Guy says no again. Finally, Satan opens the door to the third room. People are standing with shit up to their knees, drinking coffee and eating danish pastries. The guy says, "I pick this room." Satan says okay and starts to leave, and the guy wades in and starts pouring some coffee. On the way out Satan yells, "O.K., coffee break's over. Everyone back on your heads!"

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender asks, "Sir, did you know there's a steering wheel sticking out of your pants?"

The pirate replies, "Arghhh... and it's been driving me nuts."

A Rabbi, a Pollock, a blonde, a Russian, a priest, and a nun walk into the bar. The bartender says "What is this? Some kind of joke?"
I went to my doctor and told him "my penis is burning." He said, "That means somebody is talking about it." (Garry Shandling)


I failed my driver's test. The guy asked me, "What do you do at a red light?" I said, "I don't know... look around, listen to the radio ..."
I knew these Siamese twins. They moved to England, so the other one could drive.
what did the dude with five penises say "my pants fit like a glove"

The Dalai Lama walks up to a hot dog vendor and says, "Make me one with everything."

A cowboy rode into town and stopped at the saloon for a drink. Unfortunately, the locals always had a habit of picking on newcomers. When he finished, he found his horse had been stolen.

He comes back into the bar, handily flips his gun into the air, catches it above his head without even looking and fires a shot into the ceiling. "Who stole my horse?" he yelled with surprising forcefulness.

No one answered.

"I'm gonna have another beer and if my horse ain't back outside by the time I'm finished, I'm gonna do what I dun back in Texas and I don't want to have to do what I dun back in Texas!"
Some of the locals shifted restlessly.

He had another beer, walked outside, and his horse was back! He saddled up and started to ride out of town.

The bartender wandered out of the bar and asked, "Say partner, what happened in Texas?"

The cowboy turned back and said, "I had to walk home!"

This farmer has 500 hens but no rooster so he goes to his neighbor and asks him if he could buy a rooster for $100. The neighbor says, "You can HAVE this rooster. His name is Roy. He''ll get all your hens pregnant. He''s a real stud." So the farmer takes him home and says, "It''s your first day so take it slow, okay?" The farmer puts Roy in the hen house and then hears all the hens crying and yelling. Roy nailed every one of those hens and then nailed a duck and a goose at a pond. The next morning the farmer finds Roy lying on the ground with his legs sticking in the air and buzzards circling overhead. The farmer says, "Roy, did you go and die?" Roy says, "Quiet! They're about to land!"

There was a farmer who had a lot of live stock. He had cows, horses, chickens, pigs, and bulls. One day a terrible twister came and the man and his family were only saved by throwing themselves in the nearest ditch. After it was all over, he looked up to see that the house was gone. Saddened by the loss, he went out to see if any of the animals had survived. The horses, chickens, pigs, and cows were laid out flat but the bulls were standing! The farmer was amazed and asked them, "How is it that all the other animals are down and you are still standing?" The bulls replied, "We bulls wobble but we don't fall down!"



I'm dying over here after reading this....I HAD to print it out to send!! OMG....Thank you for this!!

Elmo's Star

I'm already addicted to this website....Thank you sooo much :bow:Lovin for suggesting it!! I printed out a few already to send my guy!! lol


:haha: Elmo's Star :haha:


i love this site it gets me through the rough spots i m pretty much the tough gal but now and then i hit a low point, i like this site when im missin' him or think of him i go to this site its like kind of talking to him:cool:. i have found so much info and still finding.....

Not sure if this has been posted or not... but if you go to TuckerMax.com there are several stories on there that you can print out. Now, mind you, they are rude and crude, and not just anyone will enjoy these stories. Me and my guy both have that same kind of sense of humor, so we both think they are hilarious, and so did his buddies.
After sending him a few of the short stories, I ended up ordering him the book since he enjoyed them so much! They are sure to get you laughing hysterically if you find humor in those sorts of things. :D

Okay so I was on Amazon trying to find some books to send to my man and I came across a book by Tucker Max called "I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell" and I laughed so hard at the stuff I had gotten off the TuckerMax.com website and sent to him (which I found out later my man loved)...Anyway, I had that book sent to him and he talks about it in every letter....He said it's the best thing he has ever read....He even told his mom about it in a couple letters....Yay....It made me feel good that I sent him something he really liked!!

Elmo's Star

Thanks for all the suggestions, my letters were getting boring!!!

I photocopied my hand at work... kinda silly, but now he can "hold my hand" - it's the exact size of my hand. I'll probably write a poem or something on the back just telling him how much I miss his touch.

AHH! My boyfriend always asks me to send pictures. Sexy pictures. And I do, no matter how much I hate taking them and looking at them. i just can t seem to get into it sometimes, and I don't think he really likes them either, that he's just being nice to say that he does. Any suggestions on my confidence in sending him what he wants

Don't know if anyone is interested, found a site called "hoochymail.com" It's like an ad-lib erotic story site. You put in your names and other things you like and it creates a story for you. I've printed a few off and sent them to my man, he loves 'em. :thumbsup:

SO COOL! There are 6 stories to choose from, I sent him 3 for now. And I have to say, the fantasies are hot and I might just have to make them come true for me and my man someday!! Hehe

AHH! My boyfriend always asks me to send pictures. Sexy pictures. And I do, no matter how much I hate taking them and looking at them. i just can t seem to get into it sometimes, and I don't think he really likes them either, that he's just being nice to say that he does. Any suggestions on my confidence in sending him what he wants

My bf asks for sexy pictures too, and no matter what I see that I don't like (a line here or there, maybe a little muffin top over my bikini bottom) he goes crazy with compliments on how hot I look, so it's probably all in your head anyways.

The shots are going to be better if you get in the right frame of mind, just think sexy thoughts, it's what I do - and I make sure I'm relaxed and not in a bad mood first or else I get frustrated.

I set my digital cam up to take about 10 consecutive shots, that way I can change poses and it's really easy not having to back to the camera every few seconds.

You don't have to wear a bikini or bra/panties to send sexy shots - sometimes I will wear a super short skirt with high heels and a tank top and just sit on my kitchen counter top crossing my legs with a sexy smile. Or another idea is to just sit on your bed in some cute pajamas with a coy smile, looking all cuddly and inviting.

I'm just rambling now... haha :) Hope it helped and good luck!

Any suggestions on my confidence in sending him what he wants

Oh I feel just like you but I dont send them so u are one step ahead of me...lol I need some new ideas this letter writing ish is getting old!

write a list of 50 or 100 reasons why you love your guy and mail it to him. could be big things he does or just small little things. How he opens doors for you, the way he laughs, the way your hands fit perfectly together, places you go together. Just everything you love about him. My guy cried and wouldn't stop talking about it for a week when I did it

50 is a lot hahaha I cant think of 50....lol I just hate thinking i think !

I photocopied my hand at work... kinda silly, but now he can "hold my hand" - it's the exact size of my hand. I'll probably write a poem or something on the back just telling him how much I miss his touch.

I don't think it's silly. My husband and I were behind glass for over a year, we used to trace our hand on ours letters to each other. :) I think that's a beautiful idea.

OKay I have done so much for him today...lol thanks for all the ideas cause I lack in the creativity department that hoochymail thing was cute of course changed the corny words that they used for our body parts and made it nastier lol but it was great!

I'm sure this has been posted already, but I'm not about to go look through 37 pages. Guess me and my baby are a tad slow when it comes to stuff like this. :shrug:

I got a letter in the mail from him yesterday that he had folded up and made into a lil design. He also did the same thing with our son's letter. It was the cutest thing. Awwwwwwwww :lovestruck:
I thought it would be a neat idea to send him one back. You know, using origami or some similar designs he used. And since his facility doesn't open or read his mail, he would get it unfolded.

Okay...my boo bday is coming up next month...and I really need some ideas as to what to do for him. The thing to keep in mind is this...he is on lock up right now...sooooo basically there isn't too much I can send. I know I can always do pic ideas...but I was looking for something more creative...so plz help me out....thanks! :-)

"Any day I'm vertical
is a good day"
...that's what I always say.
If you ask me,
"How are you?"
I'll answer, "GREAT!"
because in saying so,
I make it so.
When Life gives me dark clouds and rain,
I appreciate the moisture
that brings a soft curl to my hair.
When Life gives me sunshine,
I gratefully turn my face up
to feel its warmth on my cheeks.
When Life brings fog,
I hug my sweater around me
and give thanks for the cool shroud of mystery
that makes the familiar seem different and intriguing.
When Life brings snow,
I dash outside to catch the first flakes on my tongue,
relishing the icy miracle that is a snowflake.
Life's events and experiences
are like the weather -
they come and go,
no matter what my preference.
So, what the heck?!
I might as well decide to enjoy them.
For indeed,
there IS a time for every purpose
under Heaven.
And each season brings its own unique blessings

:) HEY ALL
I found this awesome website that let's you make a free word search, you can put up to 20 words that pertain to you guys!!!!!!

http://www.teach-nology.com It was way fun and I think honey will love it!:D



BTW TO THE ONE MINUTE LADY:blah:

UPPPPPPPPPDATE THIS WILL TAKE YOU RIGHT TO THE WORDSEARCH MAKER..........
http://www.teach-nology.com/web_tools/word_search/

Thank-you so much...that is a great idea.

Awesome idea!
I just made one for my man and I know he will love it!

Cool Thanks!!!

good idea! Can we send stuff like this to him.. I didnt know if they would think its some secret letter.

Great idea!
Thanks for sharing!!!

Thanks! I just made him a slightly dirty word search lol :)

Jeffsbaby,
I just posted a new thread where we can share the extras we send in the mail. Please post this link and information on there!! I think this is GREAT!

ty girl

ty girl

ur welcome.....

My hubby and I loved to travel. One of the things I have been working on is getting postcards from places we went to together or places that we had on our list of places we wanted to see before we died........ I am going to send him a different card each week. I am hoping it will remind him of better times and future places we can experience together when this nightmare is over.... I have been hitting up Garage Sales and Ebay for different cards from different cities and countries.

I am always sending pictures of my nephew to my sister, and recently I made a little sign that says " I miss you when...." and took pictures of him pretending to sleep, eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, watching television, playing..... etc. She loved it, mostly because it is her worry that we will move on and her presence will be deminished. We have also written with side walk chalk " wish you were here" and took pictures of it and sent them to her. We also write messages in the sand to her whenever we go to the beach. I think it shows her we do think of her all the time. Another idea I had was making a copy of my scrapbook pages and sending them to her. This is perfect because she is doing a scrapbook while in prison with the pictures she has been sent and taken while there. She has been sending me pictures now telling me " i cant wait to see what you will do with these" .

So maybe someone has already mentioned these ideas, there were many pages in this thread and I would be here all day ( okay okay I have been) but I wanted to get this out there. So if someone else mentioned it, Im not trying to steal your ideas. :p Have a good day!

Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your poem and how you designed it. Well spoken.

Another idea:
We've been mailing the same piece of paper back and forth and its titled, 'Why we love each other and why our love will never die' or something like that :). We each put down a reason why we love each other and why we're gonna beat the odds and mail it back. Its getting long but I think it'll be helpful in future when we go through rough times. Upon his release he wants to keep it for self reflection.

Hi ladies- here is a site with TONSSSSS of other sites. I use it often. YOu will definately not have a shortage for things to do and send off. Have fun.


http://teas2dine4.com/4printable.html

has anyone done a wordle? they are super fun! i did one as a going away present for my best friend when she moved.

also, i just did a Honey Moon Ideas page for my hunny. I found a bunch of weird strange hotels from around the world (yahoo did an article on them). i put the name, location and brief description of the hotel and some pics. lol just for fun

I will let my son draw pics for my fiancee, I take plain computer paper and divide it in to fourths, sometimes I'll draw him pics. I send him poems, quotes, lyrics from songs. I recently bought blank cards, to send to him. I fill them with little sayings and cute avatars I find online. We also play battleship against one another which I found on a web site for games to play while on card rides from momsminivan.com

[quote=Nina B;2651042]I found a Canon website that has different paper crafts that can be downloaded and printed. I sent some of the Origami animals and he said that he really enjoyed doing them.

With a decent color printer, they turn out really nice.


This is great. He will enjoy these. I send him photo cubes from myspace all the time. This will be a nice change. Anything to keep his mind off of things. He is so stressed and lonely. I just want to help any way that I can.

I just started reading the Tucker Max stuff. he is freakin hillarious and I will be sending Ry lots of his stuff. I haven't laughed so hard in a long long time.

My boyfriend and I write what we call "what we did today" I tell him what i imagine we did together today and he continues the story where I left off. We go back and forth..the segments are truning into a little soap oprea. lol its a lot of fun

everyone - thank you for all of the ideas. all are absolutely
great.

question though - someone mentioned that stickers are not
allowed. do you mean not allowed on the outside of envelopes
and/or affixed to the letters themselves? i hope not cuz,
i sent a letter today with stickers on the last page. my first
time doing so.


I've come to learn it depends on the prison and the yard... at one yard he could get stickers all the time, no problem, at another, not the case.. they took them off. The one that took them off really bummed me out, i had found these totally cute different smiley faces and used them all throughout the letter... they took em all off. but then the one yard i could send em to, he had fun with them, and so did the other guys around him... like a bunch of little kids :D made me happy to bring them a little happiness

Just had to tell you how cute your siggy cartoon is!

make your own pop up kiss card,

My friend gets out in November so I was thinking about sending him a sign a couple of weeks before he gets out that says "For Rent" and he can put it on his wall lol. Someone else will eventually take that space so it's a way for him to sort of separate himself from where he was and where he will be. I was thinking about using construction or computer paper and either making it on the computer or by hand.

OMG I found Tucker Max when my man was still in reception and he loved it so I went on Amazon to see if there was a book of Tucker Max stuff to send and there is....."I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell".....My man LOVED it....He said it's the best book he has EVER read and that everyone should read it before dying...lol It was pretty cheap too.

I have Microsoft Publisher and I click on envelopes and I design the envelopes with the clip art they offer and print them off, I thought it would change it up a bit. I'm not super creative and I love being able to come on here and read awesome ideas! Thanks everyone for your ideas! I greatly appreciate them!

Anyone have any websites with Halloween stationary?

Anyone have any websites with Halloween stationary?
What I done last year was buy the Halloween stationary at Wal-mart and printed the letters off on it at home. I hope some one comes along with some online stationary.

Ah, ladies and gents, you guys have definitely given me some FANTASTIC ideas! I love sending him little paper confetti hearts, poetry, photos, word searches, crosswords, little photos with story lines, scanned pieces of my art, and one of my favourites is every week I choose a place somewhere in the world. And I send him photos from online, all the best, and give him information about that place. Like two weeks ago we visited the Ajanta Caves together, and then this past week we traveled to Italy! This week will be the Taj Mahal! We've already wandered around Japan, and Thailand. :) I send him the maximum of photos allowed and the max of pages allowed and give him random little useless facts about wherever we're traveling. :)

I love sending him little surveys and even paint swatch colours from the paint store when I talk about the colour of the sky on a specific day, and I'm making him the pop-up pumpkin for Hallowe'en and Thanksgiving and sending him a whole series of creative pumpkin carving, and for Christmas--I'm going to send him the pop up Christmas tree and some attachable ornaments with snowflakes! I think he'll love them!

He loves them! Thank you guys! ♥

I read that book and it was a pretty fuuny book. LOL ...... actually very funny. I could not stop cracking up. The movie doesnt seem like it would be that funny though.

Hmmm. also I recently made him a bday cake. Decorated it put his name , candles, everything. Took pictures of it and mailed them. He recently went to the hole and he got his bday cake pics there......yay since he was in the hole for his bday.. booooooo

Im sure this question has already been answered, but I don't have the time to look for it.

I have been using Hippopost, for the past week, to send postcards to my Hadi and my son. Three were sent out on last Saturday. My email confirmation told me it would take between 5-7 business days to receive. It's been a week today and my son has still not received his postcard. I don't know if my man has gotten his because I have no money to put on the phone.

So, for those who have sent postcards to your loved ones, how long has it taken for them to receive the cards?

I sent one using a site forgot what it was but it said about 5-7 bus. days and it took almost a month; so long that when he asked me about it I had to think and was like Oh yeah I did send you that online.

make your own pop up kiss card,

how you do that?

Oh wow! That was long. My son finally got his postcard. It took one day shy of two weeks. That's just crazy. I wound up emailing Hippopost and asked them how long it's supposed to take. They told me that instead of mailing all the cards from one central location, they now have locations throughout the U.S. and the postcards will be mailed from the location closet to you. So the wait time will now be shorter.

I need a super idea

I need a super idea

so do i :rolleyes: hmmmmmm

I'm new at this,but I just want to say thanks for all the good ideas. I'm writing letters and he tells me all the time , he loves my letters,but again I could babble on forever and I'm sure he would like different things to do. I also send alot of cards and the site that was given to send inmates cards is not working. But thanks for the ideas.

hey thats SUCH a good idea but, i am worried that the mail room will open it up to check the contents of the folded letter and then all that work for nothing!

I got him a magazine about something we both enjoy, and I wrote comments and funny things on like every other page. I just mailed it off today, so I hope he gets it...

Ugh, so sad today.

Print out stuff from the funniest website on the net which is dontevenreply . com

You will have your pen pal rolling....actually when you read the site, you will roll yourself.

I'm obessed with sending some cheer into his cell but how?

I tried hand making a card, that was sent back because it had buttons sewn onto it and for a homemade card - that wasn't allowed.

I tried sending a musical card, that was not only sent back - but was completely destroyed as they tore the mechnisim completely a part.

I print letters on colored paper, use colored ink in my hand written letters - but I really wanted to do something unique and special - does anyone have any suggestions?:p

This is a great idea.. . . please let me know if he gets it!

I got him a magazine about something we both enjoy, and I wrote comments and funny things on like every other page. .

well ladies valentines day is nearing any ideas????

try goin to the first few pages of this thread... there are some neat ideas up there... hope this helps:thumbsup:

wow ladies you all are sooo creative..thank you for all the great ideas..im trying out a bunch already =) if i think of any ill be sure to post them BUUUT im far from creative..lol..thanks again!!

Hey everyone! *waving*

I havent read every page in this thread yet, so forgive me if I repeat what someone else has already said.

Here are a few ideas of what you can send to your mate to keep them entertained or inspired:

* You can send them testimonies of other people making it behind bars. I intend to send my boyfriend a testimony from David Berkowitz, who is now a born-again Christian who is remorseful over his past.

* You can send the story of the Emperor Moth, a creature that prevails after much struggle. The story is called "The Emperor Moth and The Struggle" on a google search.

* You can print out and send funny pictures and comic strips from online

* You can print out and send them interesting photoshopped pictures from online

* You can print out and send pics of weird deep sea creatures and beautiful birds such as the Superb Bird of Paradise with captions about them. (a google search will bring up various results)

Have a great day! :wave:

Thank you so much for the story about the moth. My husband will love it!!

Does anyone know if the Hippopst cards actually went through...Has anyones significant other recieved one yet? I was curious...Thanks,Mia


Mine didn't take long at all, but my husband is at CFRC-Main in Florida and they sent them back b/c of advertisements. I'm not sure if they even allow postcards there. It took about 1.5 weeks, if that helps! :)

I have learned from experience, that when you need to know something about mail to a facility , CALL the MAIL ROOM . They will tell you what is and isn't allowed . That way you know upfront what you can and can't do . That might be especially helpfully for Valentine's Day, so your card or whatever you are sending doesn't get sent back and/or destroyed. Hope this helps. :)

I use this site to print out monthly calendars for my husband, and then let the kids color them in and write all our appointments, test anything "homey" on it and mail it to him before then beginning of each month. Hyubby says he loves getting them and hanging them up all month its like a little piece of home and he can keep up with our shedule with it. THought I would share :)

thank you all for the great ideas there is so much love in all our hearts thanks for sharing

all of mine made it a few to federal prison and a few to state prison.both were in texas, none was ever returned.
i guess it just depends on whos in the mailroom??

How is he able to cut out the patterns to do the folding if scissors are not allowed?

My brother-in-law is at the Abingdon, Virginia holding facility and the Hippopost post cards went through.

I have Microsoft Publisher and I click on envelopes and I design the envelopes with the clip art they offer and print them off, I thought it would change it up a bit. I'm not super creative and I love being able to come on here and read awesome ideas! Thanks everyone for your ideas! I greatly appreciate them!

I was under the impression that the mail room discarded the envelope because of adhesive and stamps and such. Am I wrong?

Im sure this question has already been answered, but I don't have the time to look for it.

I have been using Hippopost, for the past week, to send postcards to my Hadi and my son. Three were sent out on last Saturday. My email confirmation told me it would take between 5-7 business days to receive. It's been a week today and my son has still not received his postcard. I don't know if my man has gotten his because I have no money to put on the phone.

So, for those who have sent postcards to your loved ones, how long has it taken for them to receive the cards?

I mailed some postcards to myself as well as to our prisoner. They took about 3-1/2 to 4 weeks to arrive at their destinations. So they could be a good adjunct to regular mailings. Just send chatty notes with personalized photographs (great glossy quality on the postcard). You can't beat the fact that they are free.

With Valentines Day right around the corner... I just read over 25 pages of posts on this thread, lol :)
And let me say "Thank YOu"... I have a whole list of things I'm goin to do for my baby! :D

I hope these will be helpful to others! all of these ideas are cheap/free for you to do for your loved one... so you can save your money towards visiting him! :)

1) ABC's of why I love you. basically what it says.. for every letter of the alphabet pick out something about him that you love. eg E for his eyes, C for his cuddles, etc. you can either write these out on a list, or be creative in microsoft word/photoshop. Remember those alphabet cards they use in schools? the ones that say A and have a picture of something beginning with that letter..well make your own! find pictures relating to what it is you love about him on google or just use text! You'll probably have to send them in a couple of different letters since most prisons have a limit of 10 pictures!

2) A list of reasons why you love him. similar to above but just lots of random reasons. All the little things he does (and probably doesn't even notice) that make him the man you love. you can pick a random number if you want but i think its cute to pick a number that means something, eg. the number of weeks you have been together, the number of days since you last seen him, etc. you can be super creative with this one.

3) I love you pictures. this is one of my favorites. this involves holding a piece of paper writing out the words "i love you baby/husband/name/whatever" and taking pictures. you have a couple of choices, you can spell it out indvidually (letter by letter) or do it word by word. Grab a few A4 size sheets of paper **if you want to be extra creative pick red and pink paper, and cut them into heart shapes** and write a letter/word on each page to make up "i love you". so you have that done..now whos going to hold the pages? you can either get a) loved ones of his to each hold a different letter & have you holding the very last one, b) you can get strangers on the street to hold a different letter (I did this & everyone i asked was happy to help!) and you hold the last page, or you can hold each page yourself! if you decide to do the pictures by yourself you can still be creative, take the pictures of you holding the signs in places that mean something (eg. where you guys had your first kiss, where he proposed, anywhere you guys have nice memories together!) or you could dress up differently in every picture, if he has a fantasy of some kind you could dress relating to that, if he likes rock music dress like a rock chick, or cowgirl if he likes country music, wear his boxers or shirt, etc. you will need a friend or tripod to help with the pictures.

4) Dorky hole card. this one is super dorky but really fun & cute. make him a paper valentines card & decorate it really nice on the inside and back. but on the front of the card (yes the front) cut out a circle shaped hole neatly. for size reference make sure your lips can fit in the hole if you pout them! and mail it to him. wait a day or two then write him again saying "you're probably wondering why theres a hole in your card, huh?!" then include a picture with the letter (you obviously need to take this picture before you mail the card!!) and write "SO I CAN DO THIS!" on the back of the picture. in the picture you will be holding up the card with your mouth peeking through the hole making a pout!

5) We go together like... write out a list of names that go together. eg. Sid & Nancy, mickey & Minnie, etc. and at the bottom write "have you guessed what we have in common with this list? we go together" or something like that, you can probably word it better than i can think of right now lol. you can also use things rather than people, eg. salt and pepper, sugar and spice, etc.

6) Bake a cake! what the name says. Some people might think its mean but i read that some guys love it. bake a valentines theme cake (red/pink/white) for your loved one and take pictures of it & send it to them. you can also pose with the cake if you want..i think one person mentioned wearing tiny panties and holding the cake in front of your lady parts to make it look naughtier!

7) Daily reminders of your love. write out 365 different love quotes, one for each day of the year. tell him to read one every day. you could maybe have a different page of quotes for each month & add dates in front of the quotes too. i know most guys will be so bored they will probably read every quote on there in one night but hey its a cute idea lol.

8) Coupons! you can either handmake these or get creative in photoshop. Make 10 (or whatever number you want) coupons for your man to redeem when he wants. One could be for pictures of you doing his favorite pose, wearing his favorite outfit on you, dressing like his fantasy, steamy phone sex, a visit, money on his books, a book/cd
, an erotic story written by you involving you both, etc. Another idea is make the coupons into a theme and write the theme at the top of the coupon then what its for, one i was going to use is "senses". eg - Taste: money on his books for food, smell - you will scent one of your letters to him with your favorite perfume, sound - sexy phone call, touch - a visit to see him, sight - a book. you can think up lots of ideas for this one!

9) Prison of love. I have a feeling this might not get past the mail room but i love the idea anyways, its corny but awesome lol. You can always change the wording or something if you prefer. Dress in a sexy dress thats short and striped (think old school prison uniforms..but sexy lol) and take a picture of you holding up a piece of paper saying "inmate at the prison of love" then go onto photobucket or one of those photo editing websites (google "Online polaroid generator" or something like that, theres one out there!) and make the picture look like a polaroid, then print it off & send it to your sweetie.

10) Love hearts. cut out either heart shaped pieces of paper, or heart shaped photographs/pictures and write things you love about your man on the back. or you could also write love quotes/sayings. ideas of pictures to use would be red roses, heart shaped balloons, etc.

you can also create a little "love package" for your man. use a few of the ideas above, make your own love themed-word puzzle & print it out, include a card, long letter reminding your man how much he means to you, etc. do a photoshoot especially dedicated to him, write "property of *his name/or his inmate number*" on your chest or on some paper and hold it up. dress up in red and black sexy lingere or even just a sexy outfit, put lots of rose petals on your bed and do your sexiest poses! if you are insecure about your body - don't be! your man knows what you look like and he loves you. sexy is not just about how you look, its more about your confidence. be confident in yourself and your pictures will look even better. as a tip (i'm a photographer) if you are really self concious of your body, put your tripod up as high as it will go so you have to kind of "look up" to it in your pictures, thats the most flattering angle. after you take your pictures theres lots of ways to edit them on the internet, you add cute graphics like hearts, quotes, etc. to your photos then print them off :)

most of all: have fun!!!!

Oh I like these ideas! Thanks

Me too! Lol girl give us some more! :)

I want to get my fiance a really nice valentines card, but i looked around and ramdonly picked up this one:

http://www.valentinegreetingcard.info/index_main.php?ru=2810552&cat=sweetheart

what do you think about it? Can you just pick up one for me?

I wrote him a Valentine's story with the scenerio being me and him spending the evening at home, cooking dinner together, drinking wine, etc. I then took pics that went with the story, such as the wine, me dressed up, the tub... and sent it. He should get it by Wednesday!

lol, nice!

Last year a friend at work gave me a scrap of paper wadded up.
Unfolded it read....

"Money's tight and time's is hard so this is your FU***** Valentines card" http://static.rcgroups.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif http://static.rcgroups.com/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Lots of Good ideas...Thanks to everyone.

How is he able to cut out the patterns to do the folding if scissors are not allowed?

They are allowed disposable razors and you bust them apart and use the blade.

They are allowed disposable razors and you bust them apart and use the blade.

But if they get caught--it can be serious. So we use to just use ink ens or sharpened pencils to cut out patterns.

For Valentines Day i sent my hunny a total of 105 valentines...I started with the first and sent 1 on the 2nd i sent 2 etc etc. Now we are traveling around the world one place at a time.. one of us picks a place and i look up information about that place to share with him and send him pics of it so he can see where we are going

i know some one already posted about this website, but i thought its was cool now bc they just put a new part where u can send the cards from your smart phone, use your pictures make them into cards and they mail them for you for free!

http://www.hippopost.com/mobile.html

I just ordered some personalized postage, one with our favorite football team and then one with a picture of us on it. It's only $18 for a set of 20.. which I thought wasn't bad for a special postage now and then.

Here is the site
http://www.usps.com/postagesolutions/customizedpostage.htm

and here is a site for some money off... :) (If you use Zazzle)
http://www.retailmenot.com/view/zazzle.com

My boyfriend has only been in for a month, but I've started sending him lists of 20 or so questions. I answer them, and he writes back with his answers. Sort of survey style. I also send pictures from everyday life, but I scan them onto the computer, re-size them, and send little collage type cards. It's helping to pass the time.
That is so funny that you put this on here my husband and i do the same thing its like how well do you really know eachother quizzes for us and it is alot of fun actually!!!

Now we are traveling around the world one place at a time.. one of us picks a place and i look up information about that place to share with him and send him pics of it so he can see where we are going


I love that idea!!! :thumbsup:

Any easter Ideas????

Dress up like a bunny and take pictures? ;):D

I haven't thought about anything Easter specific, but some of the things that I've been including in most letters are Numbrix puzzles that Parade magazine publishes. They've got lots of them on their website that you can print out. My guy doesn't enjoy sudoku, but he loves these things.

I also bought one of those Calvin and Hobbes comic compilations that have like 200 pages of comics, for about $3 at a used book store. My guy really likes Calvin and Hobbes so I tear the pages out and send them to him.

I also keep an eye out for fun things like Mad Libs, puzzle books, and other neat stuff at yard sales that I can buy super cheap and tear all apart and write in to send to him.

Hey Ladies! I have a website called picnikdotcom .. its a photo editing website and its free! Some of the images and photo effects you do have to pay for but there is tons of stuff that is completely free! The photo saves to your computer when ur done editing it. I upload the picture to the CVS website and have it printed for 19 cents! I like to add quotes to the picture and little clipart. Be careful with the text though because when i have them printed, if the text is too close to the sides it will get cut off because the picture is zoomed a little bit. So just try to center the text or make the text shorter. Its defintely a twist on the average picture and my fiance loves them! Hope your men feel the same! :D

http://www.withluv.com/fun/love-coupons.aspxrinted

I printed some cute things to send T. from this site...

Here are somethings I found that were pretty cool to print out...

- Create your own custom love coupons to print
- Print them out for your partner as a gift.
- For those who want something a little more intimate..
- For those looking to get intimate in an adventurous way.

I really love the quiz ideas. I hope you don't mind me borrowing them. It is a great way to get to know each otehr even better. Love it!

http://www.thepotters.com/puzzles.html#General

Lots of word search puzzles here

I really love the quiz ideas. I hope you don't mind me borrowing them. It is a great way to get to know each otehr even better. Love it!

I think lovingyou.com has some a great love quiz. I filled out all of my answers on notebook paper, and sent him the printouts so he could fill them out without wasting paper.

So my husband is in reception at San Quentin, he said a lot of time is spent in his cell. Monopoly is his favorite game. I made a mini monopoly game (I attached picture). I made this with construction paper/printer/scissors and a lot of patience. Got the kids involved with cutting.

Included: monopoly game board, all monies in different colors, all properties both front and back, community chest & chance, houses, hotels, 2 oragami dice and little cut outs of place markers... like the shoe... the hat ect

If you notice in the picture, I put my glasses down, so you can see how big it actually is, the board itself is a standard size piece of paper, everything else is mini as well. We mailed this off yesterday, I hope he likes it....A LOT of TIME and PATIENCE went into this.

If anybody is up to do this little project. I saved all my templates, which means all the scanning ...resizing, editing was done which is really the hard part. All you have to do it print and cut...Let me know and I can pass everything along.

Hey, does your inmate loved one enjoy reading books?

If so, here's what you do and this is well worth it:

Go to borders dot com (borders.com) and apply for membership in their rewards plus for only $20. This will allow you free shipping on any order for a full year.

Now, here's the really great part:

I joined and ordered 23 books for my girlfriend that is in prison in Gatesville, Texas. I viewed some of the used hardback books that were available and selected the ones that were just over $1 each. I placed the order and had them all shipped to my girlfriend. The prison allowed her to have 21 of the 23 that were received, which didn't disappoint me in the slightest way.

Her and other inmates now have lots of additional books to read and what makes this even better is that since they are hardback books, she can donate whatever ones that she doesn't want to keep to the prison library. I was so excited about this and I plan to have books sent to her all year long. However, they make great Christmas gift items.

I take lots of pictures and use a cheap page layout program to make little "my week in pictures" newsletters, being able to see what I see and am doing gives him something more concrete to think about and it kinda makes me feel like he's with me too!

I love this idea...I do love that feeling as well (that it feels like he's around)
:idea:

This is an amazing site something super different....You can design photos, add clip-art, fancy borders, add text in the pictures, change the colors ETC!...really create amazing photos, photo-books, cards etc.

My Mom is the creative designer for this company so I am always finding out about all the cool new stuff. He really loves my creations and finds the stuff I send really special! You can download it to computer or run it straight from the website! I honestly spend hours on this creating awesome new things for him.

Have fun

My babe had me look up the lyrics and listen to:
Gary Allan "Her Man
Gary Allan "Best I Ever Had"
Gary Allan "Right Where I Need To Be"
Jamey Johnson "High Cost Of Living"
I watched the videos on Youtube & looked up lyrics.
The last 2 are great for any inmate! Not Just Lovers, Bfs, Spouses.
I cried watching all of them. :soothe:

Oh..OOOPs.

I belong to seven or eight different survey places that let you accumulate points for doing product surveys. some of them allowed you to cash your points out for Best Buy giftcards. When I had $150 in Giftcards, I waited for a sale and then found I had another $50 giftcard leftover from some deal I did there last year so I got the whole shebang for free plus some extra cartridges.

It's not as easy to get Best Buy Giftcards anymore. Now you can usually only get Amazon or iTunes but those are cool too.


Hey new idea speaking of the song Molly Bawn, after which I took my screen name (it means Molly the Fair or Fair Molly as in she has pale skin) -

One of my pen pals was very inspired by Barack Obama's election (please, I'm not trying to start a political debate, I'm just saying this by way of intro to the song lyrics I'm suggesting)...... and we've been talking about the Civil Rights movement. I sent him the lyrics to 2 Bruce Springsteen songs that have always meant a lot to me because they are about the struggle of ordinary people and they both elude to Moses and the Bible. Oddly enough, Springsteen sang them both at a rally the day before the election.

They are:

*The Promised Land - a defiant but hopeful song about taking charge

*The price You Pay - about all the good people who came before you but did not get to enter "the promised land" - seems to refer to JFK, RFK, Dr. King, Medgar Evers and so on.


Well, that got my pen pal in a certain mood and he asked me to send him the lyrics to Sam Cooke's "A Change Is Gonna Come" which I did and I also included the lyrics to the song "People Get Ready", "Keep Your Eyes On The Prize", Marvin Gaye's "What's Goin' On" and Dion's "Abraham, Martin and John."

If any of your guys are in equally reflective moods this month and might care to hum some of these songs to themselves or just re-read the lyrics - consider those titles or other like them!

Other lyrics I have sent him recently include:

Van Morrsion's "Into the Mystic" - that's my and my husband's "Song" as a couple and I wanted to share it with him so he could maybe quote some of the lines to his wonderful wife such as the one that says.....

:D

Remember though - we can't cut and paste entire song lyrics in threads cuz it violates copyrights. it is OK though to quote a line or so or to tell us the title of a song that your fella likes the lyrics of. I like hearing those kinds of things myself cuz it gives me ideas of what to send!

I went to Walden books and bought over $100 worth of books. Got some to share with my babe. Have you ever played Would you rather? I bought Would You Rather...? Ultimate Sex Edition. But they have ones that arent sex related questions. Basically it asks if you would rather do a? or b? So I figured I will write some in each letter. Once he answers them then I will. I also got 500 Kisses and 101Sexy Surprises For Himsticky notes(Im just gonna cut the sticky part off). Im excited to spice up my mail for him!

Sounds great SEX and MAIL I'm all over it I,m going to go look for this Would you rather ultimate sex edition.Hmm sounds fun!

Reading this thread I decided to get creative so here's what I did. I'm gonna take it to Walmart and print it as a 8x10 picture. He's only been in prison for a week but spent 2yrs in county and I never did anything like this before, really I didn't even write much back then because I would visit all the time. Thinking he'll be excited when he sees this :yay:
