    The movie was good. I heard he shot the two guys because they didn't talk to him all the way to the gun range?

    Took the jury less than three hours to find the accused killer, GUILTY! Way to go Texas. Life in Prison will do for me.

    Yes, it is called PICS, Post Incarceration Syndrome.

    For more info: Google PICS


    Unfortunately I was a guest of the state of Pa for a while after fracturing a statute. 3/3/2015 will mark 8 years of continued sobriety for me, by the grace of God, the NA program, and the help of a great group of guys. Jail or prison can be a very difficult experience. The mental aspect of dealing with such an environment is incredibly stressful. During my stay I saw some serious violence and general craziness. I think the institutionalization of the jail routine is what starts it. If an individual has psych issues it will bring them to the surface and aggravate them to a degree that can be extreme.

    The best course of action IMO is to seek a support group or counseling. After all we are all here on this forum which is a support group for scrap'ers. Need help read a few posts, ask a question, get some help, keep it moving. There is a tool for every job you just got to find someone who can get it in your hands and give a little advice on how to use it.

    Watched American Sniper last night, great movie and a first for me was I did it on my cell phone. The girls wanted to go shopping last night, they wanted me and my wallet to go with them, so I sat in the center of the mall and watched the movie on my phone. Worked out for all three of us and maybe I became a little more aware of benefits of a smart phone.
