Yesterday I submitted a comment to a thread by Roxy. The
thread was titled Going Crazy posted at the Soap Box. The
issue was that Roxy was going bananas over her husband`s
failure to have commenced drug treatment rehab while
incarcerated because she felt that his inaction would only
prolong his confinement.
The thread at issue here does not mention the location of
her husband`s detention facilities, and as some of you may
know, I just only a few days ago joined this family. So if
others knew that her husband`s confinement was in Mexico
I sure did not.
The comment I made was in referrence to Roxy`s frustration of having sent him money to pay for his treatment. Since i noted that she is located in New Jersey,
I took it upon myself to determine that her husband was
somewhere in a U.S. jail.
I familiarized myself long ago with issue related to drugs
and rehab, methadone and what not, so I figured that I
could explain that someone in this country who is ordered
held in detention by a court, should not have to pay for
court ordered drug treatment.
I was wrong in telling here that sending her husband money sounded fishy to me because in this country, when
a court orders a jailed person to a rehab facility or to drug
counseling sessions, that person is not supposed to pay
money up front for that treatment.
The only problem, of course, was that her husband is not
jailed in this country. He is, as I was made to see, in Mexico.
MendozaQH posted my entire comment to Roxy, and under
my comment, he wrote: "Ummm, her husband is in Mexico,
not in New Jersey --- he is facing a 3 year ban for drug use -- Good luck with your husband Roxy!!! I really don`t
know what to tell ya!
KitKat1 also wrote a very informative comment, but his did
not sting. In fact, it served as a very helpful piece of setting the record straight. Thanks KitKat.
I swiftly apologized to Roxy for my unintended blunder. I
have sent her a private message and invited her to read this thread. I hope she makes a comment.
It bothered me tremendously throughout the remaining of
the day for having violated the cardinal rule. That rule, according to any lawyer states that you should never comment on something that you are not sure of, have personal knowledge of, or knowing the answer. I simply
could not concentrate and just decided to try to relax. I
did what I do best, when in some mild stress.
I turned on the T.V.
If you are a basefan, like I am, you should know that the
Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs(yeah those pesky
cubbies), are locked in a heated battle for first place in the
race for the pennent prize.
With only five games left to play this season, I sat down to
watch the Brewers rout the St Louis Cardinals, while Cubs
lost in Florida. The Brewers are now 2 games behind the
Cubs and the potential to overtake them this weedend.
GO BREWERS!!!
Watching the game in the living room was not the good tonic for my mind, as my comment to Roxy flashed in and
out of my head. I went into my bedroom and laid back and
clicked the remote to the game on the smaller T.V. on top
of the dresser. The game turned into a Brewer rout and I
lost interest. I peeked a glance at the monitor of my PC
and thought of the obvious confusion i caused Roxy.
I was out of breath!! gasping for air as i ran. The scene was
a narrow slippery wet road at night. I was running on empty and in slow motion!! I tried to run faster but my legs felt lead heavy and looking down at my feet, they seemed not to move at all!
They were gaining up on me fast!! An angry mob of mostly
women. I noticed at a quick glance that some men were
in the mob as well. Some in the mob were carrying torces
lit with fire, as one man yelled, "Let`s burn him to a stake".
"Yes, Yes, screamed a woman, let`s burn the bum. He
should not have made that comment!!"
As desperately as I tried to run away from them, my feet
would not respond, and my lungs screamed out in pain for
air. As I gasped, I turned my head around and caught a
glimpse of a man`s torch just inches from my shoulder."You shouldn`t have done that", he scolded at me.
I opened my eyes and realized that I had suffered a nightmare attack as soon as i fell asleep watching the game on T.V.
My whole body was drenched in a cold sweat and a shiver
ran through me as i sat up in bed. I noticed on my clock by
the bed that it was 2:28 am. I slipped on my house shoes
and walked into the living room and turned on the light.
I then walked to the bathroom where I splashed some warm water over the icy sweat on my face. Looking into the
mirror that is over the sink my face exhibited the guilt that
I was feeling and unable the shake loose.
I decided to write this thread. I concluded that i would try
to explain to the immigrate2us community that my original
intent in making the comment to Roxy frustration was based on my total ignorance to her husband`s detention
location.
I stand by the position that I took in my comment with
respect to inmates in this country not having to pay for
drug treatment when order by a court at sentencing or
through court hearings. However, I deeply regreat being
ignorant that Roxy`s husband was indeed in Mexico and]
not in New Jersey.
I felt a mini rebuke and a tad of a sting when MendozaQH
does not mention how he knew that Roxy`s husband was
in Mexico and not in New Jersey. But this thread is not to
point fingers as a result of my mistake. I apologize to all
of you.
This morning I deleted the comment from the Soap Box
as you may note by the message under my comment. I
have been on a massive slump lately.
I had a terrible day.....and a horrific night.
