He felt more alone than ever before which is saying something. Because joseph had pretty much always felt alone he didn't have any close friends and he never dated not because he didn't want to but because he was too shy to insecure too easily misunderstood. He put his name on a few mailing lists for single. Men hoping to meet the kind of woman he could settle down with but all they ever got with letters. Advertising mail order porn so he resigned himself to low minutes but then one day he got a different kind of letter. It was from a woman who said she was looking for a friend.

Joseph road back soon. He was corresponding with several women from the retreat learning about their lives telling them about his occasionally. They'd ask if you could send a little money not much just ten or twenty bucks enough to cover the cost of writing supplies. They called it. A love offering and joseph was always happy to chip in after about a year. He got a letter from a new woman named pamela. She said she'd grown up poor. Married young fled and taken refuge. At the retreat she enclosed a picture of herself big guys gravity defying farah fawcett hair. Joseph was smitten. They started exchanging letters letters that were for the most part pretty bland. She asked him for advice. Told stories about her pet poodle g g but they could be deep to. Joseph share things with pamela that he'd never told anyone he wrote to her about the shock of his mother's death and the pain of his father's illness and pamela wrote back to say that she got it she cared for ailing family members herself and she knew what a burden. That could be how lonely it could make you feel. Joseph always believed that he possessed many fine qualities sensitive kind loyal but no one had ever paid enough attention to realize it. No one had ever taken the time to get to know him. No one except pamela pulled that man laughing. That's pamela turns out. She wasn't a doe eyed innocent with farah fawcett curls.

For twenty rule bit rough but next eighty were not hard at all. And you enjoy making up these. I loved it and he loved the lifestyle that came with it. You remember those love offerings.

He was writing to more than thirty thousand men and was laughing all the way to the bank. He built a printing press so he could crank out letters at an industrial scale. He drove around and rolls royces and jaguars from his twenty car. Fleet a fleet service by a full-time private mechanic. It was good to be done or lived.

Savings one guy was living in his car and sending the social security checks to his fictitious pen pal. A bunch of those men including joseph showed up dan's trial. They must have wanted to see him suffer right but no they came to defend him. Don's letters they said had saved them from despair isolation addiction. Even suicide sure they realize now that it was all a lie but they were grateful for that. Lie as one of don's dupes put it. I didn't care if they were real nice letters and they make a man feel good. It felt good to offer card advice. It was nice to read about. gee-gee the poodle. It was comforting to imagine that out there and the woodlands of illinois there was someone who had thought about them cared about them saw them for who they really were. When shaw carver datum.
