It certainly sounds like BB has had more than an interesting life. I would totally read a book she wrote about it if she were to do such a thing. Thank you for sharing her words!<br /><br /><a href="http://jrsbailbond.tumblr.com/post/155467310444/the-risks-of-not-contacting-a-bail-bondsman" rel="nofollow">Eliseo Weinstein @ JRs Bail Bond</a>Eliseo Weinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407697057363434395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284893230469697578.post-76114171161581281192016-10-20T03:46:37.053+07:002016-10-20T03:46:37.053+07:00Great read.

After dropping out of college, I back backed and worked in SE Asia, specifically Thailand. I came back after two years, joined the army and was stationed in Washington state. I went Iraq, got out if the military, and moved down to Austin, TX. After working at bars and partying for several years, my drug addiction caught back up with me.I lost my apartment, girlfriend of four years and finally left town. I moved up to new England where I am currently living. I know what the author is talking about when she explains how unfair the judicial system is, I've been in and out it because of drugs my entire adult life. Never spending more than a month inside. I loved reading this because it touched home for me, thank you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12829915068536838901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4284893230469697578.post-4805618759566464282016-10-11T06:55:17.836+07:002016-10-11T06:55:17.836+07:00Linh:

Tragedy with no trace of self pity. Of course in declining America tragedy is so common it's almost unnoticeable.

I'm sure she'll appreciate it.<br /><br />B.B. and I are planning a monthly reading series at Friendly called "Friendly Rants."
