A friend of mine has a brother who was paroled - sm
Posted By: XXX on 2006-08-29
In Reply to: Does anyone know how parole - works, or does it vary by state?
about a year ago. He was sentenced to 20 years (3 carjacking) and let out after 8, is on parole for 12 years. He was allowed to skip the halfway house situation as he had always tested drug-free in prison; that and his dad bought him a condo to live in. He had to have a signed form from wherever he was to live stating they new he was a convicted felon, out on parole, etc. , so to avoid having him live in a bad area, his dad bought a condo (nice and he screwed over my friend in the process but that is another story). He does not live near where he was incarcerated which is about 2 hours away from where he is now. I don't think there is a restriction as to where he is as long as he is in the same state, so if you are in a different state I'd say you were probably okay. But if he has family where you are, the odds are he is back there as he had to have a living situation set up in advance before they would release him. My friend's brother has already broken parole a few times and is still out, they even reported it to the parole officer but were told that they could not do anything about it (probably have to witness it) which stinks. Her family is now sheilding the infarctions as they don't want him to go back to prison since if he does he will probably die there (40-y/o with hep C, diabetes), plus they are scared of him. The whole situation stinks. But as for the prison officials, I would think they could at least give you the name of the parole officer. Try looking at the prison site on line, you may find something there. Good luck.

A friend of mine went to work for
them and had a very hard time, ended up going with another service. She told me she was docked in her pay for sending to QA with blanks. She said she could not make any money there.
A friend of mine works there and....
She really loves it! She has been there since August. Her pay has been really great. I am hoping I will get a chance there as well.
Good Luck to you 
Yep, reminds me of a friend of mine
who lost her job as a travel agent (due to technology, Expedia, Cheap Tickets, etc.) and refuses to work for less than $35,000 a year. Says it's "beneath her."
Well she has no other skills, and is uneducated except for a 6-month travel course at a community college, so how could anyone expect to call the salary shots in that situation?
I agree. You gotta do what you gotta do. Sometimes life hits you hard, but it's up to you to accept it or start over with an education.
If you choose not to "accept" a job that pays less, even temporarily, that's your problem, not the government's.
A friend of mine has been on it for over 7 years...sm
and swears by it. He has stayed very trim and his cholesterol is fine. I would like to lose about 10 pounds and thought about trying it, but i love carbs, so don't know if I have the willpower.
A friend of mine did the injections (sm)
and her legs looked great for a little while. Eventually, blood got trapped below the injection sites and they look worse now than they did before.
"Boredom comes from within", a friend of mine used to say.
I have changed careers a few times, all due to sheer boredom and after only 5 years I am already fighting it again doing MT. Interestingly, when my doctor prescribed Cymbalta for my diabetic neuropathy last year, I found my production went up and it was much easier to focus on not only the job but the housework, etc. Have no other symptoms of depression, and am off the Cymbalta now (it did work wonders for the neuropathy).
You might try spiffing up your workspace a little with new curtains or a nice picture on the wall...something that will make you smile when you look at it. Good luck, and take heart in the fact you are not the only one. 
Agree with Lab Rescue. A friend of mine sm
is involved with them and fostered labs before she got another dog of her own. They will provide the dog with medical care and a loving home while they try to find a good home for the dog.
Thank you for being so diligent caring for this dog. You sound like a terrific person. Labs are such wanderers. Hopefully someone will claim the doggie soon. Good luck!!
A friend of mine had this happen while she was pregnant...
And now, almost 6 months post delivery with no relief of the pain, she has been told that she will have to have the bottom part of her tailbone REMOVED! There was no inciting injury. She just stood up from a seated position and started with excruciating pain.
A friend of mine also had a bad experience with H&R Block

Sounds like a friend of mine - he is now her ex-husband - sm
though, even though "the sex is great", she'd say the same thing. She worked outside the home but was expect to cook a full evening meal from scratch every night (breakfast and lunch on the weekends as well as dinner), no frozen foods, kits, etc. , plus take care of 2 kids, dog, bird, lizards, etc. and of course keep an immaculate house, while servicing him every day. Things got so bad (he has quite a temper) that her kids actually asked her to divorce him, that is sad when that has to happen. But they are now away from Mr. Controlling and much happier. The daughter refuses to see her dad, granted my friend had to pull his teeth to get him to actually see the kids per the visitation at first (2 weekends a month was it), now he is all mad 7 years later that his daughter hates his guts, granted she is 16 now so that has something to do with it too (other than him being a total jerk). He would hold the child support hostage too, so if he was mad her wouldn't give it to her even though he knew she really needed it to make ends meet; so she went to the state and had it set up to be garnished directly so she did not have to "ask" for her support check anymore.....needless to say he was quite tee'd off when she did that. Things are better now but he is still a jerk. They do try to be civil to each other and work as a united front with the kids. Amazingly he has stayed single and has not sucked some other poor woman into his web. -- But you can't do it all. I have not had a night out for probably 18 months, but I do get out every now and then, but my husband definitely has lots of freedom but I don't begrude him as he cooks dinner every day, takes care of the kids as soon as he gets home from work so I can finish up my work or get started on the next day's allotment. He might gripe some but he does help a lot and he knows I do. You need to get yours to get off his butt and help out. As for a 2-day trip, next time just do it like you are tonight. He and the kids will live and maybe he will learn something. My husband had NEVER had the kids to take care of alone until 7/2004 when my mom got sick. I went up to be with her before and after her open-heart surgery. He had them for about 3-4 days, then I came home and took them back up with me a week or so later. He lived. The kids lived, and I think he learned, hey I can do this if I have too. You need to do the same thing (and then hope you don't come home to a mess of a house!). Good luck.

A friend of mine signed on at a hospital where
they plan to send her home in six months. She is a new grad. It does sound like some of the hospitals will send you home with the same employee benefits. Keep searching!
A friend of mine in same boat is at Encompass
She actually had less than 5 years exp and like you it was all clinic, and she got hired with Encompass and loves it. She's done both clinic and acute care there I think.
Try for a short sale, a good friend of mine - sm
did that a few months ago, had a mortgage and a 2nd mortgage, and just could not keep up. They agreed to a short sale on the 2nd mortgage, and by a miracle she got a buyer. She actually walked away with about $1K. Lives with boyfriend now which is saving his butt from foreclosure now.
Captain Morgan is a VERY good friend of mine!!!
Along with his south of the border pal, Jose.

This also happened to a friend of mine who applied to be a state trooper and ... sm
also to my husband when he applied for grants to college.

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
Oh brother... here we go
I just love it when someone "assumes" that they know who you are simply by the words you choose and how you lay them out. Not to mention the fact that should they ever cross paths with you, they wouldn't know you from Adam! But because you sound educated and spelled everything right and said something that supports this posters adversary, you must be the very person you are defending! What are you doing MT'ing? You should be making money as a detective with your special capabilities of deducing who is who based on the written word.
Guess what, I am NOT busy mting or this other guy or any other post on here. This is my first one on this thread.
Is anyone following Big Brother on CBS?
Just me? My big treat is watching tonight at 8:00 and it is the stupidest show on TV, reality-wise. Love to hate it.
My brother did this to my other (sm)
brother. One thing I will tell you is to go to the police department where the ticket was issued. That is the ONLY way I was ever able to clear any of them from my brother's record. My younger brother had gotten other tickets and used my older brother's name, but since he paid those the court told me "If your brother comes in and admits he did it we can take them off." Yeah, like that was going to happen! They didn't seem interested in the fact that my older brother had been working out of state during that time! From my days at the police department, I can also tell you that the cop probably put something on the ticket indicating that she did not have the actual license, but gave valid information.
Big Brother
does anyone subscribe to the live feed who could tell me who won HOH?
Big Brother 6 is OVER!
And Maggie the nurse won the $500,000. I shall miss those peeps...
oh brother
Once again, one crackpot calling himself a born again Christian but with a flawed theology makes those of us who really are born again look like a bunch of nuts. Way to promote the kingdom, David. (not!)
LOL you are probably right, will get my kid brother to do it.
 Or I will figure it out I suppose.
I have a brother who had it done (sm)
and you know what I'd really suggest for your DH for long-term success with controlling his weight, in addition to having this surgery, is counseling.
This surgery seems to be a "quick fix" for the physical aspect of weight issues, but no one that I know has ever dealt with the emotional aspect of this problem.
My brother, for instance, says he can eat this and that but then ends up vomiting half of back out because it's a no-no on his intake with this surgery.
Oh, and to make sure he takes all of the supplements, vitamins, etc. I also know of another person who had this done, didn't follow the proper follow-up care in addition to taking supplements and vitamins and ran into a horrible host of problems after this surgery.
My brother went through this
They had a mediator settle everything. Their's was mutual too and they were happy with the outcome. They had to wait 18 months for the divorce to be final, but I suppose that depends on what state you are in.
Good luck.
I have a Brother all-in-one and it does the
I have all the updates but it intermittently does this. I turn it off, unplug from the computer and wall, then replug everything. Sometimes, even after this, I will have to restart my computer to reboot the printer. Then it will work. Such a pain!!!
Big brother
Don't count on the fact that you are not being "watched" even at home. Many companies employ tracking systems embedded in software to track your time and will use it against an MT who breaks too much - does get email through the company and that sort of thing. You know that if your little fingers are not on the keyboard then you are not producing for them and OMG that is not a good thing!! ;-)
oh brother...
You complain about the way we treat each other, whether you should just walk away but then say you would miss it.
Make up your mind. If you're being negatively impacted then leave.
The message came from her brother and son. nm
Any Big Brother Fans?
Missed tonights show - who got evicted?
He was working with my brother
I was super-jaded by my ex-boyfriend at the time. But he won me over. Were married 10 years last September. VERY HAPPY!!!! 3 kids.
.12 not .23 - oh brother, too early!
Tired fingers, meant to say even if you have to go from .12 to .11 do it (for now).
Your brother took the right approach...sm
too many docs write a prescription without testing to make sure that a person has the diagnosis to support it. A good doctor will do the testing like you indicated to make sure a patient truly is ADD or ADHD prior to handing out medicine.
Question to the original poster: Are you under extra stress lately? If so, that's probably what is causing you to be scatter brained and learning how to handle stress will be more effective long-term than taking medications.
Good luck to you!
OMG!! :) Big Brother spoiler...SM
I was sooooo glad that Janelle evicted Will! Man! I love Janelle, but if she didn't evict Will should would have deserved to lose!
Poor Erica and Janelle...were they ever played by Chilltown! It must feel so good to get a little revenge on those two.
I hope Erica keeps her word and takes Janie to the final 2 if she makes HOH.
Chickadee
OMG!! :) Big Brother Spoiler...
I totally share the enthusiasm expressed here about how the gals caught onto Chilltown's deceitful ways and just in the nick of time too! I guess Will was my least favorite. He was such a manipulator and did it so well.
Isn't it odd how quickly things cooled off between Erika and Boogie? I didn't see anything that really led up to it, but suddenly, she wasn't sleeping with him anymore and knew she had been played.
Did I miss something on the volcano game? Apparently there is some advantage to Boogie to bow out so early, but I don't get it. What's his strategy?
Can you guys believe what a royal jerk Howie is being in the jury house?
My brother and his girlfriend use it...
and are doing great on it, without any cravings or problems. They couldn't say enough about it. They are in their 50s and have smoked for quite some time, so for them to rave about it, I thought it was good. Good luck!
AMEN BROTHER BEN!
We all need to stage a walk out. We're letting them lead us down the garden path like lambs to the slaughter!
Oh brother. Who cares?

Big Brother has a bluetooth set
I'm not sure about anything else related to his hearing aids, but they're very small, and they include bluetooth, and he can hook them up to his cell phone very effectively. And he won't tell me how much they cost, just that they were EXPENSIVE. He's not a transcriptionist, but I have a great deal of trouble hearing people on the cell phone sometimes, and he never does.
Funny! Mine is almost as large, and I don't mind cleaning mine!
It's no problem at all. Besides, I'll take lots of oodles of square footage any day of the week over living in a sardine can!
what does Mr. Jug Twitty do for a living? And what about Jar, his brother.
They are all staying in Aruba. How can they take off of work indefinitely even if they aren't wealthy and took a second mortgage on their house.
PS: I doubt very much a resort town is giving away free services to these people and their entourage. This is how a resort makes money you know. Especially when you are there criticizing their government and call citizens criminal who have been released from jail for lack of evidence.
I have a Brother printer and paid around $400 (SM)
I was doing a lot of printing and not only did it solve the paper getting stuck issue, but the printing is SOOO much faster!!! The quality is better too. I don't know about your docs but when I used the inkjet, if they got the paper wet (coffee or water rings and they did that a lot!) the ink ran.
Exactly- my brother is an ex body builder
and certainly very masculine, but he gets a pedicure every month - his wife is all for it (you know how those hooves can get, guys! LOL), whitens his teeth, highlights his hair, and shaves his entire body (left over behavior from body building days, no doubt).
Brother-in-law has been using outside wood furnace
for many, many years and loves it. It sits out back of their house less than 50 feet (I would guess) from their back door. They also cool their house with it (need an exchanger of some sort) and heat their pool water. He is pretty clever and worked out the plumbing for the pool by himself. They do have to spend part of their summer looking and cutting and hauling their wood supply but they think it is worth it. Hope this helps.
