What’s up IOA
One day I was out for my 1.5 hour walk and I realized something…Everybody looks forward to mail and visits. When it’s all said and done I know I and have seen people cry after a visit. It’s people in here that got kids out there in the world that need them. It hurts me real bad. I really do feel for them. I hate seeing people sad.

I’m really a good-hearted person if you took the time to get to know me. Continue reading

I get mad as hell because I don’t think it’s right that they come in here threatening me but if I did that to them they want to press charges. Continue reading
