yeah if it is physician ordered it is generally allowed. but remember what i posted about inmates having insulin needs ignored. medical care is terrible in there

earplugs were available from the commissary and yes there is never a quiet moment it is nonstop noise 24/7

by the way what cpap device do you have i'm thinking i should probably get screened for sleep apnea
Well, first I should say get health insurance, because to get a CPAP you have to go through a lot of hoops. I had to go to a neurologist to establish that yes I likely have sleep apnea, then I had to get a "Sleep Study" where you spend a night in a hospital with monitors on your head and legs to see if you have restless leg syndrome (like you kick at night). It's costly. There are other ways that are cheaper but take more time, but because of my truck driving job I had to get my CPAP right away or I couldn't drive.

I have a ResMed which is the industry standard. But again, for me it was covered by insurance and only covered if I proved I was using it regularly for the first year.

If you feel like watching a movie you should check out The Matrix. I can't think of any movie I've ever seen that is like watching that for the first time.

Here's the trailer, if you care to check it out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKQi3bBA1y8

Have fun! You haven't been out long enough to get jaded by online streaming services taking the shine out of the cinema experience, so enjoy it!

you did not want to talk about when your hearing would be because inmates would try to get in your head or worse just to make you fail.

can you expand on this? you mentioned the same thing about not talking about your release date as well. im assuming people have different motivations for interfering with this and i’m curious as to what they are. are some people just being dicks about it while others are trying to get something out of you?

yes that's one of the first things i want to do to feel better about myself, physically. i'll get them covered up with something ursula k leguin related or maybe something buddhist or taoist

oh no, i;m trying to avoid too many details about the case and my process out of fear of my identity becoming known. i mean in real life i'm open about it and tell people i meet but here it's kinda scary for me

for the tattoos it's more about it was a series of traumatic things that happened. i know that answer leads to more questions but it was just a bad time and the tats are reminders. i mean i don't obsess over them day to day and i often forget they are there but i'd rather not revisit that time inside right now

if someone heard about those things they may snitch, plant contraband, or just beat their rear end. i know one dude that poo poo all over someone's clothes the day of their hearing so they'd be late

I don't mean to call out the person who posted it they just posted the very funny quote you said about cum town and the tweet got a little big. Everyone in the replies thinks you're funny and they're pretty much universally being supportive.

I only mentioned it because I don't post in GBS much anymore so I probably wouldn't have seen this thread otherwise.

Hey Harvey, glad you're out and among us goons

My big question is how big are sports/sports fandoms inside?

My uncle was in prison for a while in TX and apparently Rangers/Cowboys games are more or less mandatory viewing lest guys riot, granted this was in the 90's so i'm not sure if things have changed, or if its different due to the fact texas is insanely sports mindset state.

Followup question of course being if you follow any sports yourself

yep i was in a region where the local pro baseball and football teams were a big deal. we were allowed to watch most of those games and overall the interaction between the fans inside was good natured. of course it got heated at times but no major problems from what i remember

football is okay i guess but baseball is boring to me. i like soccer and i'm starting to learn more about mls teams. i don't have a favorite yet.

oh and tennis too. i like serena and roger federer. serena is a badass and roger is a magician. but when i tried to play as a kid the ball either went over the fence or into the net.

I'm not sure if it's worth it at this point in the season, but this year they have mls season pass where you can watch every game with full replays. I love it.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
I also think baseball is boring. I went to a baseball game recently because my niece was singing the national anthem with her school choir. Baseball in person is kind of fun because there are other activities to do while waiting for baseball to happen. It almost seemed like the actual game was an after thought. They'd be doing something wacky with one of the mascots and then all of a sudden baseball is happening again. There were a few times where I didn't even realize that the game had started back up again.

pretty excited for you honestly cuz the d&d movie is pretty decent. dialogue's not always sharp and the latter half of the movie gets pretty marvel-y (negative connotation; you'll learn about the chokehold superhero films have around hollywood's neck soon), but the characters are fun and the plot's fun and the fighting bits are cool and well filmed.

so what im trying to say is that movies today compared to your time's suck, but d&d's one of the good ones. have fun
