Restraints

by Jennifer Bell
(Hartford, CT. USA)




Hi. Today is March something and it's funny cuz it really doesn't seem that important right now what day it is. So many people have gotten away with such evil that it feels like there aren't very many good people left. My sister and her family are doing better and we are communicating much more openly but alot of people out there are making it very hard for us. My sister's husband lost his job and we are feeding the family on unemployment and social security payments. My pervert husband continues to work in the fire protection business, everyone seems to think this is ok and I have gotten no financial compensation for any of my suffering. Still I have to keep telling. I don't even have a closet to keep my skeletons in even if I wanted to. The other day I was driving on the highway here in hartford and there was an electronic billboard that said, and I quote, "Jennifer, It's going to be ok." So I know that someone with money and some intelligence is aware of this but no one has come to help. Not one person has tried to contact me and somehow that message isn't very comforting. Darlene, If I was not crazy before I am very close to it now but thank you for reading from your book on the computer, your voice is comforting and I'm trying to hold on.
Thanks,
Jennifer Bell

Hang in there, dear girl. A billboard like that is a clear sign that you aren't being ignored, much as it may seem so right now.

I am so glad to learn that you find my voice comforting. I do plan several more video readings, but it will have to wait until I get back from an already-overdue trip to the coast of British Columbia. I'll be gone for more than a week, so hopefully, I'll have a new reading up in 2 weeks time.

Yup.....evil people.
by: Scott Canada

Thanks to Darlene I too had a place to spill my story. It does seem like the world really doesn't care. I wonder just how loud I could scream and be heard. I do know that if a person screams loud enough that those special people will come and take you away. Then they tell you that YOU are the problem INSTEAD of listening to your frustrated ,tired pleads to be heard. Truly though, trying to be heard can drive you bonkers....after all,the world doesn't care. Yes it does appear that the world is completely infested with (deaf)filthy,evil, heartless people. And just when all else has failed and you think all hope is lost you come across an angel, a broken wing of their own but an angel all the same. If I saw a billboard up there with my name on it I think I would snap.I think I would tare it down. I don't need another person telling me that its going to be all right,I don't need more LIP SERVICE. If people really want to prove that they are listening and that they do really care than grab the evil s.o.b's by the scruff of their neck and bring them down off their high horses. Why must we suffer and they continue to live and prosper and sit on that pedestal they think they have earned. I do get so tired of complaining though. Its only the like minded that care. Of course this is just my lowly opinion....I wouldn't want to offend anyone.
