Farewell, Ryan! Thanks for the good wishes. Hope to see you back in best mood for everybody!

[Metalmaiden]

Its brave of you to face things head  on, good to get this over with and behind you  especially for the sake of your kids. Good luck, I pray for the best outcome and hope you are back soon.

[Avricha]

Take care, Ryan, hope things will be good for you.

[This Dying Soul]

well this has most definatly taken a strange and dramatic, but over all turn for the better for me.. I turned myself in the other night and they kicked me out of jail and told me to go and see the judge in the morning.. so I went home.. the next morning i went to court and the judge says to me that because I " [rpved to be an outstanding citizen of my comunity and turned myself in" that I was to be released on my own recognence until the trial so as to build myself back into the community and prove my self to be a better man when facing my sentencing...

so sooner then I thought I am back, for now that is.. and we will see what happens between now and my trail date... I always believed in the past that doing the "right thing" wasnt always the "right thing"... now I am starting to think that my train of thought was a bit off the wall....  so guess what, Im back.... wish me luck....    

[AngelOfMusic]

Jail?  Trial?  Wow, there's quite a story in there.  :shock:

Well at least things worked out well.  I was always taught that honesty was the best policy, and personal experience taught me that it was true.  I'm glad it's working that way for you as well.

[Odin]

Indeed a nice signal that honesty works. Glad it came that way for you, Ryan.

[TexJoachim]

Son, no need to miss me.
You can always call. (If you still have my number, that is)


Take care,

Tex

[This Dying Soul]

of  course I still have your number... I wouldnt get rid of it for the world....

[This Dying Soul]

Well, here I go again.. today I go to my sentencing date at court.. so I dont know that I will be bany time soon... so once again i hope you all wish me the best of luck, because at 1:00 pm today I will face a judge who will decide my fate with the courts,, if in fact I am incarcerated today I will be doing between 2-5 months... and will have no computer access.. I will miss you all until then.. and hope to see you all sooner.. as well I also hope that the judge will pardon me today.. but I doubt that will happen.. so with that take care all and i hope you all will be here when I get back again in good spirits and health..

stay metal and stay true... \m/

[The Metal RN]

Take care and always stay metal! It will get you through anything!!! You are doing a brave and good thing to face your struggles head on and like an adult, I just wish more people did the same. Best of luck and we'll leave the light on for ya!

Well it kind of sounds like the judge is leaning towards not having you in jail at all, if he can help it, since things keep ending up less and less than what you thought.

That's a good sign!
