She's in my thoughts......this is a great reminder.
That meeting should be going on right now. Dharma, this is a good thing to do for a good friend.
Thanks everyone. Please spread the word. She's meeting with him in less than an hour. THINK GOOD THOUGHTS!!!!
I've been thinking about her too. We wish you well, Delia.
Delia: We are collectively sending you strength, love, power and warm wishes. You are in our thoughts and hearts.
Beautiful gesture on your part, Delia and nice graphics, too. Rated.
Delia's debacle is a good window on our "justice" system... Thank for pointing us to her blog, and her distress.
i hope at least the waffles are good. with like nuts and stuff. and they have like 6 different kinds of syrup. but how would you even be able to eat at a time like that? lawdy.
If not waffles, maybe some good strong coffee. Although I do like me some waffles.

That parole officer better stand by, because Delia is on the side of justice and she will prevail today.
BBE: strong coffee indeed. i bet she didn't sleep a wink last night.
I hate getting all emotional on blogs. But... I can only imagine the layers and circles of horribleness Delia's dealing with. I hope she emerges from the situation whole, and with the right result.
Me too, Man. Thanks for coming by.
Yep. Lighting a virtual candle for Delia.
Awesome, thanks OWl!
big hugs for Delia ~ what a painful day for her.
Great minds think alike, Sao Kay! 15 minutes til the meeting!
Oh, Delia....please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you on this day. Know that we are with you in spirit and praying for a just outcome.
I somehow missed Mary's post. I will send her my love and support from here and contact her later. This is all very disturbing.
Oh, NOOOOOOOOO! No that darn WH! Go for pancakes (IHOP), at least. Thinking good thoughts and energy for you today Ms D. God bless ya!
Rated & Cheers!
Thanks, ((Michael))

Thanks ((Bubba))

I'm using the Ganesh mantra right now. Know that one? Care to join me?
Ty, ((trigger)). Thought you were camping, doll.
i'm sending my best thoughts and my love delia's way. we're ALL thinking of you delia sweetheart!
I left her the love on her blog but I just happen to have more to leave for her here. And for you as well.
Thanks ((Jeff))

Thanks, ((Coyote)). I meant to email you the other day with my salsa post. I thought of you as I diced the cilantro:)
JK: Ganesh is the elephant god-- the remover of obstacles. you call on him when you need to send in the troops. there are many versions but i like this one best:
guru guru wahe guru, guru ram das, guru guru wahe guru guru ram das, guru guru wahe guru guru ram das guru
Say it fast and over and over until you run out of breath and then start again!
I visited and rated. Thanks for letting us know about this terrible situation, and to give Delia some love.
A very giving and thoughtful act Dharma
Dear Delia - Although I don't know you all that well, I
read your post about the Waffle House. I fully support
you. Stay STRONG. Keep BREATHING.
And thank you Dharmabummer.
Zuma: thank you, gal:)

Sensus: thank you for coming by and for praying for delia.

JK: a ganesh statue as a wedding present.... kinda cool, actually;)
thanks for bringing your good energy around here.
Delia is in my thoughts today.
Me too, Mr. M. Thanks for coming by.
I just got back from the meeting about 20 minutes ago. I REALLY appreciate all the support--Luis wrote a post, then this one, then the PMs and comments on my post-I cannot tell you how much this has helped me. If I could call out each name I would, but I would be afraid of forgetting someone.
The parole board member sounded pretty supportive. I had five people with me. The board member stressed that without letters, they are MUCH more likely to release a criminal. I told him that they should look at the facts of the case and not assume a victim wasn't important because of a lack of letters...it is so easy to get lost in the system...I wasn't contacted, instead I had to contact the DA myself after 6 months...THE PAROLE BOARD MEMBER DIDN'T SEEM TO BELIEVE ME....but, he said she should have had a greater charge. He seems to be willing to keep her in, but there are four other parole board members I won't see. He said they do read letters, so I am asking family and friends of my dad again for letters. He said the main things they consider, besides letters, are: ARE THEY AFRAID OF THE CRIMINAL? and ARE THEY MAD AT THE CRIMINAL? If the board are either or both, they are less likely to parole the criminal.
I will write more about this later. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You don't know how much this means.
((((((Delia)))))))
Yes, please give us a full post when you can. I didn't see Luis's post.
Just reading your comment is giving me a headache. If they are "mad" at the criminal then they won't grant parole? WTF?
thanks for the update Delia - keep them coming
Dharma's got to go to work now but I hope you are feeling the love, delia. I look forward to hearing more later.
oh,s weetheart. this is lovely!!! you are such a generous and kind woman. all i did was PM her a lot to find out if she was okay. she said it went pretty well, so im' relieved as hell. and she'll post about it soon. thank you for this lovely lovely shout out to a fabulous person!!! love love love
The fact that you did this says so much about you. rated for heart
