Avatar is a dragon with the scoprio symbol of M on it. I am gay and 'married' to a gay inmate I found by writing letters to, long before I knew about computers or online sites. I still write to mostly gay inmates searching for freinds and people like me in interests! I wish all a happy holiday.

OK. Couple of things....Was hoping I could make out your avatar clearer on your page, but no such luck. I go to your about me and see what you say about collecting postage stamps....Gee Wiz THAT's a surprise for people like us huh? Then I saw your webpages and said, "Oh! Badpuppy. Let me check THAT out." I was pretty sure it had nothing to do with puppies, but it still came as a surprise, lol. Why on earth are all the hot guys GAY??????

For me it is a day to celebrate surviving another year and hold family close. I am glad yours was sooo very good!

Hi, Thank You for the nice Birthday wish and
yes it was a good day/night

I see nothing wrong with sharing items you believe in as then you are doing the walk just not the blah-blah(talk). I get AA Grapevine and copy the 'jokes' and send them to all. It is what we do! Hope you are well and cool!

Whats your opinion of putting quotes from Just for Today in a pp letter. One of my pps is really having a tough time with no NA meetings and I thought this might help. I have already sent him the NA Book and he really liked it. Dont want him to think I am too pushy but just want to support him.

Congrats on 21 years, a lifetime in our community. May you have many, many more.

I have never done NA, though our gay AA center here handles all sorts of 12 step meetings. We have a lot more literature available at center so one does not have to find a general services office. I stock up on brochures which are easy to send to inmates, especially the one on sponsorship. Why? These fellows seem to forget if I am their sponsor the AA rules says I cannot give/loan them funds. I stress friendship first..

Do you find AA or NA materials to be more user friendly? I have always had a preferernce to the big book over the NA version. Use to go to meetings with my father when I was very young. Very educational.

thanks Merrill I hope he finds someone that will write to him. He enjoys writing and drawing pictures. He was raised in Houston and lived in Katy before this happened
