Al says to Joe, "You know, we could make a lot of money running our own bungee-jumping service in Mexico. They don't have it there." Joe thinks this is a great idea, so they pool their money and buy everything they'll need: a tower, an elastic cord, insurance, etc. They travel to Mexico and begin to set up on the square. As they are constructing the tower, a crowd begins to assemble. Slowly, more and more people gather to watch them at work. When they had finished, there was such a crowd they thought it would be a good idea to give a demonstration. So Al jumps. He bounces at the end of the cord, but when he comes back up Joe notices that he has a few cuts and scratches. Unfortunately, Joe isn't able to catch him, and he falls again, bounces and comes back up again. This time, he is bruised and bleeding. Again Joe misses him. Al falls again and bounces back up. This time he comes back pretty messed up: he's got a couple of broken bones and the cuts and scratches have become deep gashes. His whole body is bruised, and he is barely conscious. Luckily, Joe finally catches him this time and says, "What the hell happened? Was the cord too long?" Barely able to speak, Al gasps, "No the bungee cord was fine. It was the crowd.

Ten years is not even close to enough. What a horrible experience for you , I hope you are able to get support in real time life and I know others here will help. I cannot imagine an occurence of that nature in my life. I am so very sorry. Heal quickly physically and spiritually. Please see that you have support, or they will still have control over your life even while in prison. I am assuming that you could identify them. Good for you. But ten years is not enough. I will light a candle for you. Anything I can do as support is offered, even if just an ear.

Is she stationed here? The weather is HOT!! In the mid to high 90s with about 90 to 100 % humidity! Tha sea breeze is the only saving factor. You do need to warn her about sunburn! You can cook down here in 15 minutes! LOL...and that is in Febuary. With the sun reflecting off the salt water it really does not take long and she can be charged and punished for getting a bad burn. Also if you visit bring lots of shorts! But I think you will like Biloxi. It is a lot to do and places to go. you can stay busy and even gamble.
